| 1 | Yeast Infection | SEVERE BURNING AND ITCHING | Please post your expiration date and lot# so we can see if we are all using the same lot # and having the same problem. Mine is exp Sept. 09 Lot# 6km194 | F | 30 | 2 days | 3/26/2007 | 1 | yeast infection | Since the infection wasn't bad I thought I'd use Monistat instead of getting diflucan. Boy what a mistake, I used the cream and the itching went from tolerable to torturous. I immediately went to the doctor and got diflucan instead. The side effects are not worth it. Especially when you have the cream oozing out into your panties all day. | Don't use it if you can avoid it. Just take diflucan. | F | 22 | 2 days | 3/23/2007 | 1 | yeast infection | insane burning, pain, and bleeding | I had a yeast infection after taking antibotics after Strep and took Monistat 1 combo pack and am still regretting it. I wish I could go back in time and head towards the yogurt isle. I spent the entire night screaming in the ER. Very humilitating experience! If you are reading this and have just started to get the insane burning, try to get as much of it out as possible. Get a tampons and push it up there and repeat a few times till you think it's all out. Also, my doctor gave me Alevert, antihistimine, or you could use Claritin, this worked really well. Two days later and I am still sore. The pain subsided for me after the Alevert. They should take this stuff off the market! | F | 29 | 1 times | 3/21/2007 | 1 | Yeast infection due to antibiotics | Yeast infection was doctor-diagnosed. Used Monistat 7. Moderate burning and itching on days 1 and 2. Also, moderate abdominal pain, which may result from the original illness, the antibiotic or the Monistat. There's no way to know. Extreme burning and itching that prevents sleep on day 3 immediately after insertion of Monistat. After reading this site, will find an alternative treatment tomorrow. | F | 36 | 3 days | 3/17/2007 | 1 | Yeast Infection due to Antibiotics | Intense itching and burning that woke me out of a sound sleep | I thought I was having some kind of horrible allergic reaction to this stuff, came online and found this site -- thanks to everyone else who has posted with recommendations for "treatment" of this. Never again!!!! | F | 36 | 1 days | 3/16/2007 | 5 | yeast infection | LADIES - If this is your first yeast infection, you've got to see your gyno! They take a culture and tell you whether or not its a yeast infection - other infections like vaginal bateriosis and Trichomoniasis (Trich) have VERY similar symptoms. If it is actually a yeast infection, you can then know what to look for in the future. If you take Monistat and other creams when you don't have a yeast infection you can create a resistance that will make it much harder to treat yeast infections you may have in the future! See your gyno the first time - it's painless and quick to do a culture and will save you a lot of grief. | F | 24 | 1 days | 1/8/2007 | 5 | yeast infection | burning, itching | I used the Monistat 3 day. My first application of the external cream caused me great discomfort. Extreme burning and itching for about 20 minutes. I began my search on the internet after reading on the package that this cream is soothing and will stop the itch thinking that I was having a bad reaction. After reading all the comments, I became very concerned and nervous about using the internal cream that evening for fear of severe pain and itching. I went ahead and inserted about 3/4 of the cream before bed scared to death of what would occur. Besides some VERY mild burning I was fine . In the morning there was no pain or itching while the cream leaked out. I showered and reapplied the external cream which did not cause any pain or itching this time around. I just wanted to add in my experience as everyone is different. Good Luck! | F | 39 | 1.5 days | 1/7/2007 | 4 | Yeast Infection | This was my first yeast infection ever and (right after my honeymoon). This product was recomended by my docter and my mother. The first ten minutes after I applied MON. 7 it burned and was not pleasant. I later applied a warm wash cloth and it felt a little bit better. It still is irratating but not as bad. | It worked fast and if you can bear 15 minutes of pain it is totally worthe it | F | 23 | 1 days | 1/2/2007 | 5 | yeast infection | I agree, the first day was tough. There was burning and there was itching, but nothing really unbearable. I found this site because I actually had another question about the product. I think it's important to remember that satisfied customers will not seek out a site like this. While many seemed to have trouble, there are those of us who are satisfied. Just thought I'd supply a little balance. Good luck girls! | F | 30 | 3 days | 12/19/2006 | 2 | yeast infection | severe internal burning and external burning | i didn't realize i had a yeast infection and this is my 1st one.i asked my mom which one i should use and she said monistat 3. so i went and paid 17 bucks for it and now i'm burning like hell. i put the external cream on and took it right off, it made the itching worse. i was kind of freaked out so i tried looking it up on the internet and found this site. i wanted to make sure that it wasn't burning cause of something else. its good to know i'm not going nuts and thanx for putting up ur comments that way 1st timers like me don't think there is something else wrong w/ them. | F | 20 | 1 days | 9/10/2006 | 5 | Gynecologist | Vaginal and exterior itching for 1st night | I went to the OB/GYN clinic just for a little check up and my doctor found that a had a VERY slight case of a yeast infection, I didn't even know I had it (no symptoms). She recommended monistat 7 and that night, I applied it as directed and within 10 minutes I had severe itching, no rashes or hives, I had a little trouble getting to sleep. I called my doctor the next morning and she told me that is expected for patients with slight infections, and there should be no itching the next night. I used it the next night and finished the week pain free and CURED. If you have a case of itching the first night just hold in there, it doesn't hurt after that...it's just the medicine doing it's job. If it does last though, stop using it. | F | 20 | 7 days | 7/27/2006 | 2 | Yeast infection | Extreme internal burning, itching, bleeding, and pain | I, too, had used Monistat several times with no side effects. However, this past time I used it, it was a nightmarish experience. Not only did I have two nights of severe internal burning and itching, but it also made me start to bleed after the second day of treatment. It was definitely worse than the infection itself. | F | | 7/21/2006 | 1 | vaginal yeast infection | localized allergic reaction | As a long time diabetic I had treated many infections with Monistat. A few years ago however I a yeast infection that just got worse and worse with Monistat. I went to the gyn and with one glance she told me that the yeast infection was long gone and the pain, swelling and severe itching was an allergic reaction. She told me to never use Monistat or any medication with Miconazole nitrate in it again. Now I stick to clotrimazole or oral medication. | M | 30 | 7 days | 7/10/2006 | 5 | Self-diagnosed yeast infection :-) | None | Monistat 7 WORKS. Anyone who says they were woken up by itching, burning, or swelling, and/or claim it was the side effect of Monistat 7 are WRONG; itching, burning, and swelling are all symptoms of a really bad yeast infection. Monistat 7 and all other Monistat anti-yeast-infection products help relieve the symptoms but you should not expect miracles: unless you caught the yeast infection early and started using the product, you will still experience some level of discomfort until one morning you can definitely tell that your condition has improved. The bottom line is: Monistat 7 works when you use it correctly. I have not used other brands, but I have used the Monistat 1 Day with Ovule capsule. I liked it more because it is less messy, but sometimes staking all your money (it's more expensive) and hopes on a one-time insertion treatment seems a bit risky. Other than that, I can say that I trust this brand. | F | 23 | 7 days | 7/4/2006 | 3 | yeast infection | burning, itching, swelling | I used monistat 7 to treat yeast infections for years without any problems. And then a couple years ago, I had a reaction to it. Woke up in the middle of the night itching like crazy. I disagree with other comments that you have to wait it out. I jumped in the shower and scooped it out with my fingers. Since then I"ve tried 7 day, 3 day, and 1 day. All the same bad reaction. The 1 day was the worst... I had a lot of swelling. Nasty! I just talked to a Kaiser doc, and he claimed in his 30 years practicing ob/gyn he had never heard of monistat causing an allergic reaction. And then recommended I try it again with hydrocordizone for the itch. I won't be going to that doctor again. I don't think he believed me about the allergic reaction, and I don't think he understood that the itching, burning and swelling is internal as well as external. | F | 37 | 7 days | 6/25/2006 | 5 | Yeast infection | No side effects at all. WONDERFUL!!! | This worked GREAT for me! The itching and irritation went away very quickly. A lot of people are posting bad experiences here, but remember: they are the ones more likely to say something. You don't hear from the millions of people who use it with no problems. A survey like this is not exactly balanced scientific research data. | F | 27 | 3 days | 6/20/2006 | 1 | Yeast Infection | I have had numerous yeast infections but my symptoms are always external. I have used Monistat 7 several times and each time I had the same reaction. My itching and burning increases and I experience unbearable swelling. I use Diflucan now and it is a huge difference. A pill is a million times better. It isn't messy and there is no increase in symptoms. | Why isn't there an Over-the-Counter pill for yeast infections??????? | F | 21 | 7 days | 4/10/2006 | 4 | Yeast Infection | The only side effect I experienced was dischrge. | Because I developed a yeast infection after taking antibiotics, my gyno prescribed me Monistat 7 day cream and after finishing the medication my symptoms went away. The only problem was remembering to insert the cream evey night. Other than that it really worked and I would recommend it. | F | 18 | 7 days | 4/4/2006 | 1 | yeast infection | As soon as I inserted it, the itching started. The morning after the first dose, there was some bleeding. I kept using it, thinking it was the infection itself. By the third day, I realized that I was not having problems at all except at night, when I used the Monistat again. | F | 50 | 3 days | 3/7/2006 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Immediate Itching and Burning that was not associated with the Monitstat 7. I was better off dealing with the original irritation. It kept me up all night with excruciating burning. | This medication is not worth anyones time, money, or pain. It should be taken off the market. Diflucan seems to be the best so far. One pill and within 24 hours my infection was gone. | F | 38 | 2 days | 2/16/2006 |
