No don't stop taking them. Take the whole course. You should get a sample of your stool tested to determine if it is an infection that is causing your symptoms. If not, then you should see a gastroenterologist. Eat lots of fibre - fruit vegetables and whole grains (whole cereals and bread). Avoid dairy. Drink plenty of water to replace lost fluids. Go back to your doctor when you finish the course which should be soon if you started in the last 2 weeks.
