My doc took me off of cipro because it was causing me digestive troubles, which greatly increased the levels of pain. Basically, I felt like I had horrible gas, and all the nerves in my abdomen went nuts. I kept trying to have movements to shake the feeling, but it only helped a little. I have had the Z pack with no trouble, but different folks react to everything differently. Hope this helps. Hang in there, Good Luck!
