3	yeast infection	intense burning, slight itchness.. HELP	OK so this is my first yeast infection that I've actually come to realize and treat myself, I bought a cvs brand that just had the pill, wipes and cream. I read the directions and warnings fully to see what I had to do.. I followed as it said and all was fine. I had laid in my bed about to go to sleep and about 45 mins later I had to use the restroom, I am totally new to this and I don't really know what to expect??:/ Is it supposed kind of come out? Its leaking if you may, so I put a pad on and within 5 mins later this intense burning just came and stopped me from sleeping like so many of you had written about. Is this normal? Should I expect this to happen tomorrow night too? And some of you put the cream makes it worse.. can anyone recommend what makes this feel better? I regret taking it personally. I have class in the morning. Warning to all ladies: if you have prior engagements in the early morning don't take this at night. I can't sleep its so unbearable. So if anyone can help me out with some pointers they would be greatly appreciated. :(	F	20	1X D		8/24/2010 Email
1	yeast infection	extreme burning and itching	I have had yeast infections before and have used Monistat. I have never had a bad reaction before. This time though, I am on the verge of tears, and about to throw up because of the burning and itching I am experiencing. It is ridiculous! about 5 minutes after I put the cream in, while i am lying in bed, all of a sudden it hits me. i can hardly stand the burn and itch, i am on day 2 and thought it wouldnt be as bad tonight as it was yesterday but it is. I dont think i will evr buy it again. i feel as though i may go mad. I have taken 2 benedryl, in the hopes that i might pass out soon.	F	28	7 days 1X D		8/21/2010
4	Yeast infection	Minor increase in burning/itching after 1st dose ONLY.	I read this site when I started using M-7 7 days ago, and I was freaked out! I've never had a yeast infection before, but I figured it was my best bet at curing it. I know everyone is talking about unbearable burning/itching. For me, there was a definite increase after the first dose, but it was totally bearable and I felt nothing in about 30 minutes. For all other doses, I felt NO side effects whatsoever. Bottom line: Everyone is different. But, if you can stand 15 or 20 minutes of itching/slight burning after the first dose, do not discontinue use since side effects seem to fade after each dose. I'm supposed to take my last dose tonight, and I'm pretty much cleared up down there. Overall, I would use it again. =) GOOD LUCK!	F	21	7 days 1X D		8/18/2010
3	yeast infection	SEVERE BURNING AND ITCHING!!!!	I never had this problem before when I used this product. The burning and itching is horrible. It is so bad that I can't sleep. I agree with another poster who said that maybe the formula was changed.	F	44	3 days 1X D		8/11/2010
4	yeast infection	No side effects	Last night was the first night of my treatment using Monistat 7. I had a severe itch that i could not bear but it subsided after about an hour. I woke up this morning relieved. I feel no itch or burn so far, just the occasional cream leaking out every now and then. Tonight will be my second treatment and I'm hoping it won't bw a repeat of last night.	F	24	1 days 30 msg 1X D		8/9/2010 History
4	Yeast infection	So far no side affects. Just a warm feeling down there. I did after all just take the ovule about half an hour ago. When I applied cream I got a burning sensation but stopped as soon as I finished applying cream.	I am taking Monistat 1 day or night and it's my first time getting a yeast infection and I did not find this website till just after when I stuck then ovule in with the sleek bendy applicator. So it should be less messy. Maybe I should have done this at night but I couldn't wait since I had been dealing with this for about 5 days now. I didn't go to Dr. Till yesterday because I went sure what I should do since I never had it.	F	21	1 days 1X D		8/7/2010
5	Itching and burning		This is my first yeast infection and I didn't go to the doctor. I just went out and bought some M 7 and I am on the 3rd day of it, i had some mild itching the first night, but I have been so relieved with this product!I have also been eating less bread and eating some yogurt, It has helped so much. I cannot wait to get rid of the thing!! But I would recommend this product.	F	19	7 days 1X D		7/19/2010
3	yeast infection	intense itching and burning	I have used Monistat 7 for over 30 years and not until now have I ever experienced this. Have they changed the formula? I am also eating yogurt which helps the PH balance. I am on HRT which is what start this. This, my friends, is not fun!	F	56	7 days whatever 1X D		7/9/2010 Email
5	yeast infection	None! Although please note, I used the generic version of Monistat 7 after being thoroughly freaked out by all these complaints of intense burning and itching.	For all you ladies out there trying to postpone getting treatment for your yeast infection - DON'T! I admit I was a little hesitant about using Monistat 7 seeing as how so many people had complaints about it so I opted for the generic version, hoping the side effects wouldn't be as bad. I'm on Day 5 right now and everything's going great and my symptoms are gone. The only complaint I have is that there doesn't seem to be enough cream for 7 days (pack came with a tube of cream and 7 applicators that you fill yourself right before inserting it). Hope this helps. Good luck!	F	25	7 days 1X D		7/2/2010 Email
3	yeast infection	Have had yeast infections before - had problems with severe itching and burning when applying Monistat - The effects were more intense than the yeast infection. Did use the diflucan (one-time pill) on a few occassions. Seemed to work really well, until the last couple times I had to use one. Had reaction - all over-body itching. Very bothersome constant itching to where my skin was bleeding - had to be put on steriods to get rid of itching. The only thing the doctor could associate it to was the Diflucan (happened two different times when I was given Diflucan). Found the best treatment for myself was the long 7 day treatment - but I have to say the side effects are alot less invasive for me.		F	46	3 days 1X D		6/28/2010
2	suspected yeast infection	intense itching, some slight burning	(Monistat 3) At first I thought, 'yeah, me too' reading a lot of these comments. But I discovered something: it's not necessarily that we're all allergic or the product sucks - it might just be that the suspected yeast infection was not really a yeast infection at all. I'm pretty sure it even says on the box to not take the product unless you do for sure have a legitimate yeast infection. Hormones could just be out of whack, or maybe it's a bacterial infection. That's not a shot in the dark, I spoke with some people who know what they're talking about and that's what they told me. Regardless, don't condemn the product without making sure it truly is a yeast infection you're trying to cure.	F	17	1 times 30mg? 1X D		6/25/2010
1	tube claims to relieve vaginal itch	first of all thank goodness for this site and thank goodness for google for listing it as number one on the list! i used a very small amount today just to relieve that "itch you cant scratch" feeling, as i have done this before several times when i was younger. but for some reason this time was different. within 10 minutes i was feeling a burning sensation. not horrible but enough to make me freak out! so i found this site, and im reassured that this will go away and im not the only one. thnx for all ur input.	i will not ever use this crap again!		23	1 days 1X D		6/2/2010
3	I actually have monistat 1	I inserted the ovule at 12 midnight before I tried to fall asleep..Well i never fell asleep after 4 hours and once I finally gave up and decided to watch tv I noticed I had a burning and itching sensation. i used one of the wipes that was included in the pack and it made it even worse. I jumped in the shower to rinse off and now im still burning but im trying to hang in there. The itching is worse than the original itch but now it includes burning. I cant wait till this is over. I will never use this product again!!		F	23	1 days 1200 mg 1X D		5/12/2010 Email
2	minor yeast infection	severe burning and itching	i used monastat 7 right before i went to sleep tonight...and woke up a few hours later to severe burning and itching! I'm up right now dealing with it...how long could this possibly last??? The box did warn that there could be side effects...what am i suppose to do about it tho??? do i stick it out? go to the er?? how long is this gonna last? I was freaking out over these questions..and this site has helped me decide to take some benadryl and stick it out. This itches so badly..i do not recommend this to anyone. :(	F	27	1 days 1X D		5/8/2010
1	Yeast infection	Burning,swelling,itching	This medicine is terrible. I took my only dose last night, and around 3am I woke up to burning, intense itching and swelling. I knew that there would be some, but this is too much. It's now been about 20 hours, and I have no relief. I also feel a lot of pain in my clitoris I think because of the cream. Good luck everyone.....I say next time. Yogurt..:)	F	31	1 days 1X D		5/1/2010
5	yeast infection	slight litchiness	I have used Monistat 3 in the past and i had all the burning and itching that everone else seems to have and it was not fun. so the second time round i decided to try Monistat 7 since the doses would be lower and i am so thankful i did. Last night was my last treatment and i am happy to report that everything down there feels back to normal. I was afraid the first night of M-7 because the first night of M-3 was just horrible i cried my eyes out because the cream made everything 10x worse. To my surprise i did't feel anything on my first night of treatment with M-7. The 2nd and 3rd nights i did experience a very slight itch but i was nothing compared to the burning of Monistat 3. The itch only lasts a few minutes and went away quickly. Although Monistat 7 is a week treatment it is very worthwhile and the low dosage is key. I just wanted to leave a review because the product worked very well for me and i don't think any woman should have to suffer the HORRIBLE side effects of high doses...please ladies if you take the time to care for it it will go away. As a preventative measure i am also going to drink more water, consume less sugar, and take probiotics. You all should try to figure out the underlying cause of the yeast infection is as well and not just treat it once because it will come back...take measures to live a more healthy life for your vagina!! good luck ladies (((BTW I used the WALGREENS version of monistat)))	F	20	7 days 200 1X D		4/19/2010 Email
4	For a yeast infection	No side effects what so ever.Any side effects I did have were due to the yeast infection as the burning, itching sensation was there PRIOR to using this product.	I have used Monostat a few times many years back and haven`t had a yeast infection for over 10 years...until now. I bought the monostat with 3 ovules, small tube and and the wipes. I was told many years back to make sure my partner if we have been sexually active to be sure HE used the cream as well. She said to use it as a lubricant and for him to use it a couple of days as well. A man is capable of passing the infection back to a woman and he will have no symptoms of a yeast infection. No where on the box does it give this advice but I knew it was possible from experience. The product makers should have this listed on the directions because not doing this will only cause the yeast infection to be passed back and forth between your partner. I love this product and it saves a trip to the doctor for something that can be taken care of at home.	F	45	3 days 1X D		4/16/2010
3		Itching	I have only had Monistat 7 for one day but almost right away when I used the internal cream I experienced REALLY BAD ITCHING. But after 30 minutes its going away...thank god. Hopefully it doesn't do that every night. So far I have felt no burning. My yeast infection was not that bad though and that might have something to do with it.	F	21	7 days 1X D		3/26/2010
2	yeast infection	intense burning and itching	OMG I am so glad this site is here or I would really think something was seriously wrong. Im still afraid to continue this treatment but it feels about the same as having the yeast infection. I was so shocked when the itching and burning had started to become almost unbearable. It does say on the tube that this is a side effect but it does not even come close to preparing you for what it actually feels like. I am not sure I will continue this treatment. I have some other treatments on the way in the mail. One of them is called rephresh. I am hoping that it gets here soon. I am deployed to Iraq and should not have to deal with this but I had surgery the other day and I am guessing they really dosed me with antibiotics. The next day I started to feel the burning and itching of a yeast infection starting. I am starting to feel a little relief of the intense burning and itching. Lets hope I am able to sleep tonight. Again I am truly thankful for this site and all the posts. Someone, more than one person please tell me it does get better as the treatment continues.	F	40	1 days 100 1X D		3/7/2010 Email
3	Yeast infection or so I thought...	Ok, so I came to this board & was relieved to see that there were many ppl experiencing the burning, painful feeling when using this product. However, my roommate told me she has NEVER experienced these side effects & urged me to call my doctor. I did the next day & they nurse practitioner said that a) it should not be painful & b) the pink discharge is NOT normal. So I was told to come in the next day. I went in & the nurse practitioner tried to take a culture but since I had the monistat still in me, she said the results could not be told from just a quick microscope screen. She then asked about possibly having a urinary tract infection, which I thought I might have a mild one due to my urine being cloudy. She said she noticed that my uterus was indeed inflamed and she gave me antibiotics for a UTI, since she said the symptoms I was experiencing were more indicative of a UTI than a yeast infection. I did not realize a UTI can cause that itching feeling	I would rate N/A b/c I misdiagnosed myself and used the wrong product.	F	37	7 days 1X D		3/4/2010 Email
3		Burning No itching	I am on night two of monistat 7 and its really painful.... I jus want to get rid of the yeast infection but the burning from this product is almost unbearable...I thought I was the only one experiencing this until i read all the comments on this site. Monistat needs to go and remix this product so it will not cause burning or itching	F	19	2 days 1X D		3/2/2010
5	2nd yeast infection	messy, very minor itching	I used monistat 1 with the pre-filled applicator. i got really scared when i read the comments everyone posted, but i never experienced any "horrendous" effects. maybe the first day there was minor itching, but that could have been from the infection itself. supposedly only 33% of women treating for yeast infection have one, so maybe all the people with really bad side effects have a bacterial infection instead of a yeast infection. anyway, it worked really well and i was in no discomfort.

3	Yeast Infection	okay.... well first night i wanted to die... burning oh the burning and itching like crazy but i stuck it out, it got better...	im 17 and i consider my threshold for pain quite low.... but i do recommend take a shower the first night if you have these symptoms... it helps or just sit in the bath tub for a while it then calmed down... the second night just itching... grrr more ... but im sticking it out i want this thing out of my body!!!! good luck gals	F	17	7 days 1X D		2/17/2010 Email
3	Yeast Infection	Intense burning and itching	The first time I took Monistat 1 was about a year ago, and I experienced the most horrible burning sensation inside that woke and kept me up for hours in tears. I recently tried it again, hoping that it wouldn't hurt quite so bad as it did before, and instead of burning, I had an extremely irritating itchy feeling. From reading other comments, I definitely will try using either Monistat 3 or 7 next time. Monistat 1 is just way too harsh despite how well it works; I would honestly have rather endured the yeast infection than to insert the ovule.	F	17	1 days 1X D		2/13/2010
1	Itching and Burning	Hives. Hives should not be allowed to happen DOWN THERE. Hives, itching, and serious burning. I happened to have an allergic reaction because at the time I used Monistat I didn't know I was allergic to a type of Vegetable oil. They use this type of vegetable oil in their creams.	READ THE LABEL BEFORE YOU USE! ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES! If you have allergies it might be more beneficial to use diaper creme. That's what I'm forced to do!

5	Cronic Yeast Infections	I have used Monistat for years (25 or so). I have never had ANY bad side effect at all.	It has been a god send for me, seems how I have such troubles with yeast. Both of my daughters, have also used Monistat without any problems. I would suggest if you are new to using Monistat, maybe try putting a small amount in first to see if you are going to have a bad reaction. Personally, I think it's a wonderful OTC drug.	F	49	7 days 1X D		2/6/2010 Email
2	yeast infection	very Intense burning and swelling.	I will never use it again. Now I use topical yogurt, acidophilus pills, and a product from the health food store called "Yeast Away". It works for me. The only reason I didn't give Monistat a "1" rating is because it does seem to kill the yeast infection.	F	56	7 days 1X D		2/6/2010
3		1st night using monistat 3. 5 minutes after application, while lying down as recommended to reduce leakage, my vagina is on FIRE. intense itching & irritation more so than the yeast infection alone. almost unbearable. monistat, more like MONSTERstat! after reading these reviews, it seems the pain reduces and your body adjusts to the treatment, so hopefully this becomes more tolerable. good to know this is a normal reaction!		F	25			1/30/2010
1	Slight yeast infection	Intense burning, non-itching turned to a horrible itching feeling.	I had a slight yeast infection from a cut on my inner wall, so I stupidly used Monistat 1 to clear it up in a day or so to nip it in the bud. Dumbest damn thing I've done. I woke up in the middle of the night, clawing at myself in pain from this horrible crap! Not only is the burning fairly intense, the itching is unbearable! I had no itching or burning at ALL prior to using the Monistat, and now it's like I have a small fire burning in my vagina along with several rosebushes scratching the crap out of me! I would NOT recommend this, I've used Monistat before and I did NOT have this reaction to it - but it's been 3 years between using it. I can't go to sleep, I feel like crying and I would have rather gotten a damn yeast infection at this point!	F	24	1 days		1/20/2010
5	Yeast Infection	Itchiness	This was my first yeast infection ever, I didn't go to the doctor to get it diagnosed I just had my mom buy me the monistat because I was in such discomfort. It took me a few days to realize what it was though because I had never experienced this, but I bought monistat 7 and started using it the same day I started my period, I also ate yogurt with live cultures in it twice a day for the first 2 or 3 days of treatment. Last night was my last dosage and the itchiness from my yeast infection is completely gone. I started feeling relief the first night and by the 3rd night it kind of felt like a faint itch, now its non existent. I hope I never get another yeast infection but if I do, I would definitely use this product again. I guess the only bad thing I can say about this product is I notice the cream still comes out a few days after and it hurt a little bit when I inserted the applicator. Besides that its perfect!	F	20	7 days		1/7/2010
3	yeast infection	intense burning, itching.	i've taken monostat 7 before and had very little discomfort with it at all, the only problem being the hard plastic applicator. however, i became sexually active about a week ago and presumably, my obgyn believes, i received a yeast infection shortly there after. i am on my second round of monostat and couldn't believe the itching and the burning the first night. i had to wash out all (or most) of the medicine, mostly the external cream which seemed to cause severe irritation. finally after guilt-tripping myself about dying from this yeast infection (haha) i reapplied the internal medicine, which is the cream, and found that i had very little discomfort. i took it a step further and only applied a LITTLE of the external cream, and am sitting somewhat comfortably now. that "warming" sensation is pretty pleasant, actually. for first time users: don't slather on the external cream until you know how sensitive you are to it.

1	itching and burning	I started feeling itching and burning around clit and vagina... so I got the monistat 1, ... it was terrible... the itching and burning increase.. I could no sleep for two days... this is my 3rd day.. it is a kind of mild.. but every once in a while I feel like trying to start again.... besides, I feel like sick, a mild headache, waist pain.. like I am getting a period, but I am not. I will never, never, and never tried this product again. I am organic consumer, and just thought I should have get a natural product.		M	45	1 days		1/3/2010 Email

5	yeast infection from antibiotics	mild burning first night	the first night it was a mild burn for a while but shortly subsided. i was able to sleep i am on my second day which i felt no burning and im very pleased	F	17	7 days		12/21/2009
3	Yeast Infection	I have taken Monistat 3 for yeast infections with no side effects whatsoever. But when I knew I had a minor one, I decided to take Monistat 1 instead. Three days later, I had a pink discharge that eventually became heavier on the fourth day. Some minor cramping (oh, and I am no-where near my period as I had it two weeks prior and am on birth control).	Would recommend using Monistat 3 instead. Think Monistat 1 is too harsh on the body.	F	25	1 days		12/8/2009
4	Vaginal Yeast Infection	Mild burning	Monistat 7 is definitely better then Monistat 3.I used Monistat 3 the last time I had a yeast infection. When I applied the first dose it felt like my vagina was on fire, but the next 2 nights I felt no burning. Now I have another yeast infection because of stress and I am about to start my period. I am using Monistat 7 and I have no painful side affects at all. There was burning the first dose but it wasn't as intense as the Monistat 3. I started to feel some relief on the 2 day. Definitely get Monistat 7. It is not as concentrated as 1 or 3.	F	19	3 days		11/18/2009 Email
4	slight yeast infection	As soon as I inserted the cream (did the 3 day one) it was intense burning, itching, warmth...I was about to go crazy so I came on this site and saw similar reactions. However, I have come to the conclusion that I'm sure it's tingly because it's working and I'll see tomorrow if it isn't as bad. It REALLY sucks but I'm sure it's a wait it out thing. I also had BLEEDING which was scary to me but it could have been from when I inserted it because it's a hard plastic and I noticed some blood at the end so I could have accidentally hit the wall too hard or something. Itched more when I stand but also more leaked out so I probably should have just been laying down.	I was scratching and itching constantly thru my underwear which is pretty gross but I literally couldn't help it. I ended up dabbing the relief cream alllll over (way more than they recommended) after 30 mins of itching and this actually helped A TON!!! Even though the burning/itching seemed to be more inside, who knows. Now I feel like I'll be able to sleep. It just sucks because my yeast infection wasn't that bad and I think starting to go away on it's own but wanted to make sure it went away so it sucks that my symtoms had mostly vanished yet now they're back in full swing! the box DOES say itching, burning may occur when you first apply so this shouldn't be anything shocking.

3	yeast infection after antibiotics	menstrual like bleeding	No pain other then the horrible pain already had from yeast infection. I bought generic because it cost about 1/3 price but i am bleeding slightly more than spotting and thats a first. Gonna get pill but it helped relieve the awful itching.	F	31	2 days		10/30/2009

2	antibiotic caused yeast infection	omg i actuatly took monistat 1. iv taken monistat 3 and 7 and believe me those are calmer side effects then monistat 1. once i took monistat 1 after 2 1/2 hours when the medicine desintigrated i experienced more intense itching then before when i had the yeast infection alone. iv read everywhere online and it seems like this is a common side effect. i hope for the best i hope these symptoms are gone by tomorrow	dont try monistat 1. monistat 3 and 7 are better because their dose isnt as high. if anything go to your doctor and ask for the oral pill works way better and no itching!!!

5	Monistat 7 external cream	Warming sensation.	I am on a two week course of amoxicillin for a dental situation, and at about the 7 day mark I realised a vaginal sensitivity had turned into an increasingly unbearable burning, itching soreness that got to the point of keeping me awake at night. So yesterday I got vagisil, which barely took the edge off. Then last night I bought the Monistat 7 and cautiously applied only the external cream (kit comes with tube of 2% cream, along with the higher strength inserts), just to be on the safe side! Within less than an hour, my condition transformed into a warm sensation - completely removing the former burning and itching, but still sensitive. I re-applied a couple times during the night as I got up to go to the bathroom, which helped each time. I have another week to go on the anti-biotics - without Monistat I don't know if I could have continued. Tonight I'll def start with the actual inserts. A lot of people may have a sensitivity to Monistat but for me it is just what I needed.	F	43	1 days		9/4/2009 Email
4	yeast infection	I developed a vaginal yeast infection following a 10-day treatment on Flagyl for a uterine abscess, menopause-related. (Flagyl also gifted me with oral thrush, which has been a bear to get rid of.) I know from my past use that Monistat-7 always burns me like fire for the first 36 hours of treatment. I was prepared for that. Using the product before bedtime, then taking Advil PM or Ambien, got me through the worst of those side effects, and occasionally an ice cube wrapped in a wet paper towel applied to external areas. By Day 3, I had no burning or itching, and for the remaining days of treatment, just a little "warmth" after applying the external cream. I seem to be rid of the yeast problem now.	When I was a younger woman and more prone to yeast infections, I tried a lot of those 1-day and 3-day treatments (including Monistat-3) and they were rarely sufficient treatment to get my system back to normal. I go with the "7" because it has always knocked out the yeast for me. With the shorter treatments, I've endured relapses. And that one-day, solitary oral pill--fluconazole? Useless in my experience! I find that a couple days of significant discomfort and mess on the Monistat 7 cream is worth the cure. I've also found that taking an oral capsule daily of 50 billion cultures (lactobacillus and bifidobacteria strains) assists the body in getting its yeast/bacteria balance back, particularly if that was thrown out of whack by antibiotics. I use a refrigerated product, from a health food store, called "Ultimate Flora Vaginal Support." Seems to help.	F	55	7 days		8/22/2009
1	yeast infection	This is ridiculous!! Last time I used Monstat this occurred too but I thought it was the external cream... turns out its the product in general. I have so much burning and itching going on that i cannot sleep.. I have put a hot washcloth on there so much and scratched so much that its causing me to bleed down there. Finally i took 2 benedryl ... hopefully in a few minutes I will be able to ignore the incredible discomfort this product has caused. DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! unless of course you enjoy burning and itching..... :(		F	22	1 days		8/20/2009
3	yeast infection	Intense burning, but the itching has stopped (tried using just Azo pills this morning, but didn't do the trick). Worse burning when I stand up. I bought the 1 dosage day/night treatment, and pray to GOD that this one treatment works!		F	27	1 days		8/15/2009
4	Yeast infection	Severe itching and burning and slight pain.	I purchased the $18 Monistat 1 day treatment that comes with 1 ovule, 5 cooling wipes and a tube of cream. The first night that I took it I did not experience any side effects right away because I read some of these terrifying comments right after I inserted the ovule. I took 2 Advil PM after reading some of these horror stories and by the time the side effects started I was fast asleep. In the morning however, I felt horrible itching and burning! I went to work and was ok and then I got home and the itching and burning was still there. The 2nd day, I stil had terrible itching, burning and some pain. 3rd day, decreased side effects but still itching and burning. 4th day symptoms decreased significantly but still a slight itchy feeling when I wipe after using the restroom. I feel so much better though. I would go through the severe burning and itching all over again to experience the comfort I have now that the yeast infections appears to be going away. I still use the cream and will continue to use it until it's gone. I reccommend Monistat 1 day treatment to anyone who wants to get over a yeast infection which alone is a horrible feeling. Go through the pain, be patient, you will feel better but it does take time.	F	27	1 days		7/24/2009
5	Chronic yeast infection.	Burning and itching the first 2 nights, as stated on the box. but positive feedback.	I've had a yeast infection going on for about 3 months now, I've been trying home cures, and nothings worked, I try to stay away from medication as much as possible, but I must say, Monistat 7 was a life saver for me. The first 2 nights, it wasn't fun, I experienced burning and iching, but it wasn't any worse than the infection its self, my mother who is a nurse says it burns when first taking it, because its killing the infection and washing it out, which is why iching can happen, but I noticed, after the first two days the burning stopped, and so did the iching, I'm on day 6 now, and I'm pretty sure my infection is gone. I'm very happy with this product and would use it again, because after having a long painful yeast infection, Im finally comfortable. I would take two days of mild burning and iching than a yeast infection anyday!	F	21	6 days		7/15/2009
4	Monistat 1 for yeast infection	I have read all the reviews and was SCARED but had already bought the item. I used it last night and have not experienced any side effects thus far. None of the itching and burning or pain that others stated. It's true each person is different and will just have to take a chance and try it before dismissing it. It is working so far and I am very pleased.		F	28	1 days		7/10/2009
1	yeast infection	Oh my goodness. So I started noticing my yeast infection symptoms and went to go get monistat3. Never used the 7. But anyway..not even 5 minutes after the cream is incerted I had to try and try and get it out. I couldn't sit still in bed the itching and burning was so irritating that it was inturrupting my sleep. My YEAST INFECTION isn't that bad! ugh. I won't ever use this product again. Long live the vagisil cream that helps the burnning and itching.		M	20			7/9/2009
1	yeast infection	intense itching, burning	I used the 1-day ovule and within 10 minutes, I was on fire. eventually, I used a vinegar and water douche to irrigate all of the medicine out. I think that the formula has been changed!	F	37	0.5 days		6/22/2009
3	yeast infection	slight burning sensation, itching, abdominal pressure	I had my 1st yeast infection about a year and a half ago and was given the pill and Diflucan from my gyno which worked wonders! This time, I got what felt like a really bad yeast infection but just didn't have the time to go see anyone so I decided to take the Monistat 1-day ovule. After reading the ratings here, I was so freaked out but it actually was not that bad at all. I took it right before bedtime and felt a little bit of a burning sensation and itching. The burning was gone by morning, but it continued to itch and leak and felt some abdominal pressure for about 2-3 days afterwards. But now, about a week later, the infection is much better! The people who have had a really bad experiences here may have an allergy or something.	F	28	1 days		6/18/2009
1	yeast infection, mild	Extreme burning and itching once the capsule contents dissolved and reached labia. I tried the three day pak. First night I experienced severe itching / burning. Second night I went to bed immediately after application and was fine (contents had not leaked externally). I woke up at 2 am to urinate and intense burning was felt immediately. I've used the product previously without any problem. I'm assuming I've developed a sensitivity and won't be using it again.		F	45	2 days		6/16/2009
1	Yeast Infection	Major burning, itching, and pain for several hours.	If you have health insurance, skip the over-the-counter stuff and go see your doctor. First of all, Monistat is expensive - I paid $18+ for the one ovule treatment; and the side effects aren't worth it. Diflucan, a one-dose oral prescription medication, is much less invasive and has no horrible side effects! I will never buy over-the-counter yeast infection medication again!!!	F	32	1 days		6/15/2009
4	constant Yeast infection	NONE	it was amazing. I had no side effects and used to have pretty much of a chronic infection for about 6 years on and off!! its been about 4 months since i tried it and i have only used it once. My infection has not come back yet and even if it did, i would be happy that atleast i can go 5-6 months without an infection, compared to before, im in great shape!! im in love.	F	20			6/12/2009
4	Yeast Infection, wanted to die!	first night intence itching and some burning.	My yeast infection started about 4 days before i finally decided to use monistat 7. at first i didnt think i had a yeast infection and after the third day i knew it was one, it was so bad by that time. and i was embarrassed to purchase monistat but me and my boyfriend went to walmart and got it, about five minutes after applying the cream before i went to bed it itched a lot and started burning a little. when i woke up that morning, i felt fine. I took it again last night and no side effects! i feel so much better, but still am going to take it for the whole 7 days!!! it defiantly works, because before i took it i seriously wanted to die and now i feel good as new.	F	19	3 days		5/16/2009
1	Suspected Yeast Infection	Horrible burning and itching immediately upon use!	I've used Monistat products in the past with no problem, but the last time was probably 10-12 years ago. Not sure if they've changed their formula, or if it's me that's changed, but I will NEVER use this product again! The burning and itching was so intense I though I would jump out of my skin. And of course, once the medication is in there...can't get it out easily. I finally inserted a tampon, hoping that it would help absorb the medication. This brought enough relief that I could relax a little bit, but it still took several hours for me to feel "normal" again. My advice to anyone that has never used Monistat before is to try some of the cream EXTERNALLY first to test for sensitivity. It seems, from reading the comments here, that women either love it or absolutely hate it.	F	44	1 days		5/12/2009
4	Yeast Infection	I have so far not experienced any side effects	I am only 15 years old so i am pretty young and this is my first yeast infection. I am using Monistat 7 and i seem to have no problems going on in fact i feel better than what i have been. So the people that have used this product and have had severe itching or something else... well it just doesn't decide with your body well. So use another product.	F	15	7 days		5/3/2009
1	yeast infection	Burning, pain, intense itching	OMG! The first night I literally thought I would go crazy with the intense itching! Then the burning. I used the 3 day pack that comes with the cooling wipes, cream and ovules. The cream made the outside of my vagina burn like crazy and then the unbearable itching started. The cooling wipes were nice though but didn't stop the pain. My mistake was inserting the ovule. Within a few minutes I thought I was going crazy with the itchy burning sensation. I thought maybe my infection was really bad and it was attacking it. I cried and hubby said to wash it off but I grit my teeth and made it thru the night. Next morning the itching was unbearable again and then burning. That night tortured myself again with another ovule. The itching subsided a tiny bit but still unbearable. Third night itching and burning again. I don't know if I have an allergic reaction or what but I litterally wanted to rip out my vagina with the itching! I would have gone to ER if I wasn't so embarrassed! I also tried Vagistat and it didn't burn (the one day treatment box) but it also didn't cure the problem and the box is huge and it is so embarrasing to walk up to register with this huge billboard "I have a yeast infection everyone" box! I was just hoping there wasn't a price check needed! I go to my doc in a day or two to get another type of treatment as I can't stand the itching and nothing is helping	F	47	3 days		4/17/2009
3	Yeast Infection	Painful itching and burning about five minutes after taking it.		F	21	1 days		4/15/2009
5	Yeast Infection		I have used Mon7 several times. My 1st time I had a yeast infection, it was severe. I purchsed the "Suppository" 7-day treatment & the yeast infection was cured. I've had 2 other infections since then. This time my cycle came on (I THOUGHT it was an infection) I got the "cream" version of Mon-7. Immediately it burned intensely! Also, I washed myself so much, I was "too dry" & irritated to be inserting the applicator & cream, I started burning as soon as the applicator touched me. I stopped the Mon7, took it back & got some vagisil cream. After my cycle, I thought the "infection" was still present because intense itching & burning. I tried Mon-7 again figuring my cycle & over washing caused the bad reaction, not the product. I found the 3-day "Suppository" version again & went to using it. THERE WERE NO SIDE EFFECTS. My gyn doesn't believe I had a yeast infect. to begin w/, probably just irritation. When I "Self Diagnosed" I caused worse problems than before. However, I too wonder if they have changed something I their products. Fot my last 3 infections I searched for the "Suppository" version which worked so well for me in the past. I feel like the cream doesn't do as well as the original.	F	29	3 days		4/3/2009 Email
4	yeast infection	some intensified burning and itching, but thats normal for a short time as explained in the directions. just hang in there...	i've only ever had 2 yeast infections, and both times i used monistat 1. i used it last night and woke up this morning feeling so much better! the only complaint i could possibly think of is the feeling of the medication coming out for a couple days. but i would rather feel that then the burn and itch of an infection. monistat 1 is a little pricey, but so worth it. i wouldn't trust any other brand. if you're unsure about using it, however, see your doctor first. good luck girls!

4	Yeast Infection	I'm on my third night with the medicine (taking my third dose tonight), and today I felt a little nauseated and had a fever of 100.5. I am pregnant too. I have had Gastric Bypass (two years out), and usually if I have an excess amount of mucous built up in my stomach, I get nauseated, feverish, and I end up vomiting. Sure enough, it was mucous that was built up (this was after I ate too), and after I vomited, my fever is starting to go down, and I'm not nauseated any more. So, since I've had these symptoms before I was pregnant, and before I started the Monistat 7, I know the symptoms are not from the medicine. After the first nights dose, the next day I felt more burning when I urinated. I am using the Combo Pack with the external cream and the internal cream. After my second dose, I am able to urinate with hardly any burning.	I'm confident that Monistat 7 will continue to work and get rid of the yeast infection. This is my first yeast infection too. I'm 38 years old, and let me tell ya...this is no fun. LOL I am grateful there are meds out there to help with this. I'm taking the Monistat 7 brand name. Just remember, everybody's body is different and will react to medicine differently. Continue to monitor yourself while taking this medicine and any other medicine. Sometimes what's right for one person, may not be right for another.	F	38	2 days		3/8/2009
4	yeast infection while pregnant	slight burning the first nights	After reading all the comments on this website I was really scared taking monistat 7. However I wanted to get rid of my infection asap and talking to the pharmacist he strongly recommended this product. So the first nights I gotta admit the burning and itching increased every time I applied it. Then I stopped using the so called soothing cream but still took the internal cream. The burning stopped, my sore skin healed AND I got rid of the nasty yeast infection. I'm sure, different women will experience different side effects but for me none of these horror stories became true!	F	23	7 days		2/20/2009
1	self diag YI	terrible, horrible burning and itching all around vulva after using applicator with cream.	I used the CVS brand equivalent to Monistat 3. Tonight is the 1st night and it's been 1.5 hours so far and this horrible feeling has not gone away. I want to go to sleep already!	F	33	1 days		2/9/2009
1	yeast infection	Horrific burning and itching after insertion of the product (monistat 3).	I stopped taking Monistat 3 two days ago. Since then, I have had unbearable abdominal pain.	F	29	3 days		2/3/2009
5	I had a self diagnosed yeast infect	Slightly warm sensation. That's all!!! Nothing like you all are describing	I had to leave a positive comment here.. I used Monistat 3 with the suppositories that you inserted with the applicator. I did it right before I went to bed. After hearing all the horror stories..YOU GUYS HAD ME SCARED STIFF..but I was so uncomfortable i said wth.. I felt nothing.. nothing but a lil warming sensation. So I just had to come here and express my relief.. I'll give u an update on how it goes for the 2nd, and 3rd day.	F	23			1/31/2009
1	yeast infection	Okay so a long time ago I got diagnosed a yeast infection they gave me sone cream not sure if it was monistat but my now I got itchy so I said I have a yeast infection. My boyfriend bought me monistat 7. The firsty night I put the cream in I was fine felt a lil better, the third day during the day I felt better but still wanted to put the creaam in b4 I went to bed to not mess up the 7 day thing, after I put it in I felt worse itching so bad and burning. I hate this medicine, ran to the shower to occupy me from the pain and discomfort		F	21	3 days		1/29/2009
1	Yeast Infection	Slight bleeding, burning.	I took the Walgreens version and was horrified to see light pink in my discharge after only one night. I have read Colloidal Silver works wonders, as it does for HPV. Presto, gone! Inject ultra pure Colloidal Silver up your vagina and go to sleep. I use a sterile syringe WITHOUT the needle. Colloidal Silver is so soothing and is the best natural antibiotic in existence. Every woman should be told about it. Find a quality brand online and you will be amazed at the results.

1	Yeast infection	I was taking Monistat 3 day course. Within minutes after insertion of first dose, I had severe burning & itching . . . much worse than the infection. It has been about an hour since taking it, and the effects have only slightly subsided. I will not take the other 2 doses, and will NEVER buy this product again.		F	52	1 days		1/12/2009

5	Yeast infection while pregnant	The only side effect i had is on the first night i used the cream the itching increased rapidly but subsided by morning	It the best and safest cream i recommend for pregnant women who as suffering from a yeast infection and for those females who are certain they have a yeast infection and want to self treat themselves	F	19	7 days		1/3/2009
3	Yeast Infection	Burning and Itching. I have used the ovual in the past and I thought that I was going to die. the burning was so bad and I sweld so bad that the cream would come out. But the 7 treatment isn't that bad. still a little burning and itching but it is much better then the ovual.		F	23	2 days		1/2/2009
1	Monistat 3	Horrible itching, redness, swelling--worst I have ever experienced. Have had yeast infections in the past and used a monistat product but i will never use monistat 3 again--the pain of the product is far worse than the pain of the yeast infection.		F	45	6 days		12/11/2008
5	Yeast infection	None...maybe a slight warmness but that could have been the infection itself	I had no problems with Monistat 1 and I would take it again. I agree with another poster that, while I believe that the majority of posters on this page have had the symptoms that they describe, their stories should be taken with a grain of salt. I don't think that bad symptoms are at all the norm...most people who have had no reaction to the medication would not go out of their way to post a positive review (i.e., no news is good news). If you're like most women, Monistat 1 will probably help you rather than hurt you.	F	37	1 days		12/8/2008
1	yeast infection	Horrible itching, burning and abdominal pain and bloating. I used this cream once many years ago and don't recall having this type of reaction. Thank goodness for this site and for the web. I didn't understand why this was so painful so Googled the name of the medicine and my reaction which lead me to this site. I read the reviews and raced to the tub to wash it off. I've tried the apple cider vinegar tub soak and it helps. I'm sticking to home remedies from now on.		F	43	2 days		11/25/2008
1	Yeast Infection	Intense itching and burning	A few people have said that if we're feeling intense itching and burning that it must be the actual infection and not the medication. However, once you experience it, YOU KNOW! I had a yeast infection for a few days before I bought Monistat. I inserted the ovule at night and as soon as it started coming out, I felt the most horrific itching I'd ever had. I did everything I could to get all the medication out but it didn't work. I stayed awake and squirmed for hours. But it was very obvious that the symptoms I felt were caused by the medication. After a few hours, they subsided enough that I was able to sleep. And in the morning, I still had that yeast infection!	F	21	1 days		11/24/2008
1	yeast infection	severe inflamation, burning, bright redness. Advanced as I got to Day 4 - then spread to rest of body. Blistering, inflammed rash from kness to mid chest. Had to go on steriod pack.	I have used it in the past with no side effects. Dr said its just something I will have to watch out for. Problem with these side effects is that until it spreads to far outside the genital area, you don't realize that its not a SEVERE yeast infection.	F	40	4 days		11/23/2008
1	yeast infection	I never had any bad reactions to any medicine, until today. I swear my vagina was on fire. It burnt so bad i wanted to scream. I don't recomend this medicine. It is so painful, worse then the infection itself.		F	21	1 days		11/21/2008
5	3rd yeast infection	No side effects other than normal discharge of the medicine.	I think because I was sick this past week and then proceeded to indulge in excessive amounts of sugar this happened. Prior to purchasing the monistat I used plain yogurt as a cream and that helps ALOT with itching and burning (even if it is messy) it makes me feel better that I don't have a pharmaceutical plant on my vag. ALSO: I've read repeated yeast infections can be symptoms of diabetes and various sexually transmitted diseases. Please consult a doctor if this your first yeast infection!	F	22	1 days		11/17/2008
1	Yeast infection	It was terrible!!! I found out I was pregnant, the same day I was diagnosed with a sinus infection. Because of the antibotics, I got a yeast infection. I bought the 3 day treatment, which is what the dr told me to do. WOW!!! I experienced major burning!! I was so paronoid because this is my first pregnancy as well that I went to the ER on day 2 of the burning. Everytime I inserted it, I felt like I was burning inside out.. even at the ER I was told to finish the treatment. It has been a week, and I itch from time to time but to me, the er bill, and all that burning was not worth it.		F	27	3 days		11/17/2008 Email
1	yeast infection	severe burning, inflammation, throbbing, and itching	I can't believe all these comments--I could've written any one of them! Something is definitely wrong with this product when so many women have experienced the same severe reactions. We all need to band together and voice our concerns to Monistat--they need to be held ACCOUNTABLE!	F	41	1 days		11/17/2008 Email
2	yeast infection	extream burning and itching, so bad i could sit still.. also my body started to itch all over.	I'm really confused, because i took the 3 day treatment monistat, number 1 i believe. The first 2 times I took it, it didn't effect me badly. This third time did.. i don't get it. Also i've been having cramp like pains.. if anyone can inform about this.. please email me.

1	yeast infection	The worst pain and burning and bleeding and swelling, both external and internal. I used Monistat years ago and never had any issues like this, and had to run to the shower to scrub the stuff off due to how unpleasant this was. I am not a gadfly at all - but the executives of the pharmaceutical companies should try this a few times to see why people provide such negative feedback. I will NEVER use it again, much worse than the symptoms of the original infection!	DO NOT USE THIS STUFF.	F	47	2 days		9/16/2008
1	Yeast Infection	Severe Itching	I have had several yeast infections since my teens. Within the last few years, when I take Monistat 7 it causes extreme itching and irritation. It used to not do this. Wonder if my body is somehow rejecting it now? Have to scratch my crotch with a towel until it is completely swollen to get any relief. It's horrible. It happens when the cream starts to leak out. I have found that if put it in right before bed, so it doesn't leak out, there's a better chance of not going through the itching as bad. Last night I put in a half dose and it itches less. It always gets rid of the yeast infection even if its agony doing it. Wish there was a better product for yeast. It's still itching after 3 days. Will probably stop taking it today...am taking probiotics and hope they will do the trick.	F	36	3 days		9/16/2008
2	Yeast Infection	Burning	I have used Monistat 7 before and it never bothered me. The 2nd time, when it drained out I felt horrible burning. I would have rather not taken anything. It was very painful and I am confused why it never happened the first time.	F	20	1 days		8/28/2008
2	yeast infection	intense burning	My doctor diagnosed me with a yeast infection and I took the oral pill. It seemed to clear it up, however, only 3 weeks later it reoccurred. I thought I would try using this product since I wasn't going to see my doctor for another 4 days. After inserting the cream, it started to burn slightly and the burning increased in intensity. It is day 1 of the treatment and I won't be doing day 2!!! I will wait the 4 days and try the oral pill again. It does say in the leaflet "While side effects are rare, sometimes a temporary increase in redness, itching or burning can occur at the start of the treatment." I am not willing to believe that it will feel better tomorrow because this is terrible. I can't sleep.	F	34	7 days		8/25/2008
1	Mild yeast infection	HORRENDOUS side effects -- itching like I could never imagine, burning, swelling and redness of the entire vaginal area. Chills and overall bodily discomfort, brought on by the intense and outrageous itching.	I am thrilled to have found this site, because I thought I had some sort of awful parasite or something. I have a mild yeast infection caused by antibiotics, so last week used the Monistat 1-day ovule treatment. This did not cause major itching or burning (mild itching for a few minutes); but it also didn't quite cure the infection. My mother in law, a nurse, suggested I try the 3-day treatment, so I used the first dose of internal cream tonight and I thought I was going to need to go to the ER. The itching and burning was so severe, I thought I could potentually claw out my vagina. I sat in the tub with some warm water and baking soda (per a rec from this site), but am still not finding relief. It is getting sloooowly better, but now I am afraid I will be up all night. I have used Monistat 2-3 times in previous years and NEVER had this problem. Is there something new in it now??? I could not live through this experience again!!	F	37	1 days		8/25/2008
2	AWFUL AWFUL yeast infection.	This is my first yeast infection and it is EXTREMELY itchy and burning. I couldn't even sleep because it was so painfully irritating...so I desperately took a bus to the mall because I wanted relief fast and didn't feel like looking for my health card and waiting for a doctor's appointment. It was just to painful. So I bought monistat 3....I inserted the cream into myself and I felt no burning, it even got all over the outside of my vagina...and still no burning (other than the burning from my yeast infection). It is now 13 hours later and the itching is gone (sorta) but WOW...there is a strange burning inside of me now...it's really uncomfortable. It feels like fire...and I am actually panicking right now. I have these little red bumps now too...there are on my lower legs (out of all places)..I guess I must be allergic or something. It actually did relieve some of the itching though...so it's like a win/lose situation. I will not be taking anymore monistat and am just going to go to t		F	22	1 days		8/24/2008
3	Yeast Infection-1st Time self diag	The first day it made me feel worse than the infection itself. It was burning and itching to the extreme and it was hours before the burning and itching went away. Day two was a bit better. Side effects were mild. The third day there was no longer any burning and itching feeling inside when inserting the product. I'm on my fourth day. I seem to be getting better, but it does still itch around the outter area and the external cream provided does not really work as well as I expected. Hopefully everything will be all cleared by day seven.		F	27	4 days		8/22/2008
1	Yeast infection	Took the 1 dose ovule. Severe burning woke me at 2:17 a.m. Felt like my skin had been scalded. Took pain medicine, a warm bath to try and wash off (unsuccessfully)so now it is almost 4 a.m. and I am still in horrible burning pain. By morning I will have to decide whether to go to the ER. Can't believe I paid a lot of $$ to create this agony. The cure was worse than the disease.	There needs to be an antidote included for people with this bad reaction. The middle of the night is no time to be crying in pain.	F	54	1 days		8/21/2008
1	yeast infection	I used the Monistat 1 ovule last night (after a shower), and just like everyone else here, I experienced extreme itching that kept me up all night and has kept on through today. now it comes and goes, but it is absolutely terrible.	Do NOT use this product!!! I was better off before I took it. I called the monistat hotline for additional information, and was told there have been no reported side effects, even though this sort of thing is mentioned all over the package. I was told they could give me no help or information, but they wanted all sorts of marketing info from me. monistat 1 is a terrible product that should not be on the market. That's not slander, that's the truth.	F	35	1 days		8/21/2008
2	discharge, itching, odor	I have had yeast infections on and off for years. I usually use Monistat and it clears it up. I have never before had the internal burning I experienced this time. I also thought I was having an allergic reaction, and was wondering how I would remove this substance from my body. I got on the computer to see if this is a normal reaction. I can see from all of these posts that others have had the same experience, so I feel better. The burning has subsided a little. I just hope that it finally does the trick after going through some severe discomfort (and a little panic). I agree with the idea raised above that possibly the product has been modified, and probably is a higher strength to beat these infections that seem to be a chronic problem for so many of us.	About a week ago I tried Monistat 3, ovule. It didn't burn or itch, but it also didn't get rid of the discharge and itching of the yeast infection. That's why I tried Monistat 7 cream this time.	F	37			7/30/2008
2	Yeast infection	Intense burning and itching, especially when the creme gets on to the labia. This actually woke me up.	I have used Canesten successfuly, with no unpleasant side effects, only relief from the symptoms of the yeast, and will stick to that in the future. It's funny, I used Monistat when I was younger with no side effects but the last couple of times I've tried it, the treatment was worse than the ailment.	F	48	3 days		7/23/2008
5	severe yeast infection!!!	slight burning, minor irritation...low price to pay for major relief :)	I was a bit apprehensive in using this product for a severe yeast infection because of reading the comments on this site, but I needed a cure to my problem. The 7-day treatment worked well for me!!! The only discomfort that I experienced was when the creamed leaked out and onto my "inner lips" it irritated and burned a little, but I fixed that by wiping it off the exposed areas. Other than that, great product!!! My infection cleared up, and I'm back to normal (whew!)I would use this product again if needed...Ladies take care of your womanhood!!! :)	F	28	7 days		7/7/2008
5	1st yeast infection	very mild warm, tingling feeling	I chose to take the Monistat 1 Day Ovule Treatment and would highly recommend it. Honestly, I was shocked to hear the horror stories reported. After being diagnosed with a yeast infection, I immediately purchased Monistat and used both the ovule and cream. The ovule was very easy to insert and the cream reduced my itching and burning by about 90% in about 30 seconds. Yes, I did have the ovule's cream "ooze" out after about 4 hours, but I simply used a pantyliner. I also spoke to my friend who is a nurse, and she said that she believes the product "works wonders" and has never heard of negative side effects. Clearly, everyone's body is different, but I cannot report any negative results from Monistat.	F	24	1 days		6/29/2008
4	Yeast Infection	The first time I took the product there was terrible burning. The second time was much better. The main difference is that you MUST shower, clean, and dry VERY well before you put it on.	SHOWER very well before using and this product may work for you. All the other women in this thread may have showered very well for all I know, but for me it's what made the biggest difference.	F	21	7 days		6/23/2008

1	Yeast infection	SEVERE BURNING AND ITCHING!!!!!!!!!!!	I have had yeast infections before and never had this kind of reaction. Last night was my first dose on the 3 pack. No problems, but tonight after insertion the most severe excruciating burning and itching I've ever had. It is after midnight and I'm worried that I will not have any relief all night.
