| 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 7/9/2010 | 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 day | 7/2/2010 | 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 6/2/2010 | 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 day | 5/1/2010 | 5 | yeast infection | slight itchiness | 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 day | 4/19/2010 | 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 3/7/2010 | 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 day | 3/4/2010 | 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 day | 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. | F | 18 | 1 days 1X day | 2/20/2010 | 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 day | 2/17/2010 | 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 day | 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! | F | 22 | 2 days 100 MG 2X day | 2/13/2010 | 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 day | 2/6/2010 | 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 day | 2/6/2010 |
