it's a hard road back from it if it can be done happened to me as well...... yes, it was the A-bomb nuke of antibiotics.... at $5 a tablet in the early 90's....
the effects have been permanent for some in both long term and short term memory, cognitive processing natural probiotics and prebiotics done quick enough kept permanent damage from happening for some of us... made my own kraut, did the Kombuchi (sp?) mushroom etc
It was given as a prophylactic to keep from being infected in Iraq and Afghanistan....was on it for 3 months once... and during that time the common belief was that the brain could NOT heal later research proved it can....which is why alcoholics can recover cognitive functions.....
downside is....neither the VA or anywhere has released any of the research that verifies the ill effects of taking cipro especially for extended periods....AND it doesn't kill everything
imo, it's a definite last resort.....and immediately after have to do everything possible to get the good bacteria in you back up to snuff....
