Started Ciproxin (ciprofloxacin) five years ago for pain and I am trying to work out whether what I am feeling now is tolerance or something else.
Cutting by ten percent of the current dose rather than the original is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable.
What I was not prepared for is how much of this is administrative rather than clinical.
Some days are fine and some are not and there is no pattern I can find, which makes it hard to plan anything.
Sun sensitivity is a real effect for several of these and is skipped as a footnote.
Would rather hear from people who have lived it than from the leaflet.
How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week?
Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.
You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in. Five years in on ciprofloxacin and it lines up.
Careful with attribution. You changed the timing, the dose and the season. That is three variables.

Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable.
It gets smaller. Not easy, smaller. That distinction kept me going. Five years in on ciprofloxacin and it lines up.
Same here.
How long have you been on ciprofloxacin?
How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week? Stomach upset was my main issue with ciprofloxacin too.

Worth repeating that this is not medical advice and the answer often depends on who you are.
Ten percent cuts. Slower is faster.
You have two changes at once here. You cannot attribute anything until one of them moves. Stomach upset was my main issue with ciprofloxacin too.
