I agree about asking either your pharmacist or doctor this question.  I take a prescription sleep aid and have been on antibiotics in that past and have been able to take both, but I've not been on Cipro and it may also depend on the particular sleep aid you are taking.  Many medications, over the counter, herbal, or prescription, can interact badly with some others, so PLEASE ALWAYS check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking things together.
