True... Weird thing is had such big benefit from Ciprofloxacin (especially during taking this antibiotic) afterwards I got bad again as usual. Maybe it worked on Bartonella or certain gut pathogens... During Ciprofloxacin I had zero anxiety/wired feeling/panic which are otherwise a big problem in my life...

In Belgium doctors prescribe them like candy. GPs are "advised" by pharma reps to give avelox as a first line treatment for pneumonia. Many do so.
Ciproxine and tavanic are very easily prescribed for cystitis/ pyelonefritis, also by specialists.

Same in Finland, I got prescribed some fluoroquinolone antibiotic for a standard urinary tract infection around four years ago. There is nothing uncommon with it here either, or at least wasn't a few years ago.
