Prostatitis, alergic to cipro, (ciprofloxacin) on amox 10 day 3x week. is that long enough to cure issue? net says 4 -6 weeks? on day 5 with only minimal relief.

The Net is right: Prostatitis is a difficult problem to treat. The prostate has a relatively poor blood supply and poor antibiotic penetration. Cipro (ciprofloxacin) or Bactrim twice daily for a month is the treatment. Sometimes, this may need to be extended to another month of treatment because of continued prostate pain and infection. This one is a real hassle -- recovery is slow. Hang in there!
