| 2 | Yeast infection | What sick, twisted freak convinced Monistat to change their formula? I have used this product without any problems for over 15 years for the occasional yeast infection and I have never in my life experienced any complications with the product and it has always worked. Until tonight. Torture is the only word I can think of to describe this new formula. WTF, Monistat? | F | 40 | 3 days 1X day | 1/19/2021 | 2 | Yeast infection | Week long headache, swollen face, cramps and itching. | It's cleared up most of my yeast infection (not all of it!)but left me with a headache that won't subside. The first night after using it I woke up with a swollen face. My lips looked as if I'd had Botox injections. By the end of the day the swelling had gone down but the dull headache remained. I've used monitstat for years and never had a reaction before. I feel this medicine is toxic to my body and I've been poisoned. | F | 32 | 3 days 1X day | 9/21/2022 | 2 | Yeast Infection | Intense itching, worse that the yeast infection itself!! | F | 18 | 3 days | 6/23/2020 | 2 | Yeast infection | Intense burning. I couldn't take it. It says on the directions that there might be mild burning but I couldn't handle it at all. Going to try another way next time I get a yeast infection for sure. | F | 32 | 3 days 1X day | 7/5/2020 | 2 | Yi | Burning, itching, tenderness | Using the 3 day, cream prefilled. 1st day just horrible. Burned so bad, laid in my bed and was so uncomfortable. But the next morning I did feel a little better and swelling went down. Swelling was so bad I could barely walk Day 2 and it's 2am and I'm up because of the intense burning, urge to pee, feeling like I have to puke sensation. As reviews suggested once you put it in lay down and stay down. If you use the bathroom some will come out and cause even more pain mainly on the outside. Sensations are subsiding after an hour. I'm on my period which sucks because I'd be laying on a towel airing her out right now. The itch cream just adds to the burning and irritation. I wish it had a numbing agent mixed it. I really hope it clears me up after tomorrows treatment. Also I should have gone with the egg suppositories. I think it's this cream that's driving everyone crazy. Will update. | F | 27 | 3 days 1X day | 8/17/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | Extreme burning and itching in and around vaginal opening, literally had to get it out of me because I couldn't stand it!!! Terrible! | F | 22 | 3 days 1X day | 8/22/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | I have a mild yeast infection and as soon as I inserted the prefilled tube....GOD it seriously burns and itches!!!! I'm trying to keep calm but I dont think I can go through the next 2 days if I'm going to be on fire. Yeast infection wasn't that bad compared to Monistat 3. I definately would NOT recommend this to anyone. | F | 3 days 1X day | 8/25/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | Burning itching worse feels like fire | F | 43 | 3 days 200 1X day | 11/7/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | I've used monistat ovules in the past and got the prefilled cream tubes this time on accident.....HUGE MISTAKE. I didn't think there would be much of a difference, but boy was I wrong. Minutes after inserting my first dosage, I began itching so bad inside my vagina. The second and third day, the same result. I didn't even have this much itching from the yeast infection itself, I mean I did have mild itching, but the itching this product caused was a million times worse. It worked when it comes to getting rid of the infection itself, but I definitely wouldn't reccomend. | F | 28 | 3 days 1X day | 11/17/2020 | 1 | yeast infection | prefilled tubes made me want to die. do not get the target brand! | target brand hurt so much | F | 23 | 3 days 3 day 1X day | 7/8/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | Extreme burning and itching for a good 2 or 3 hours after inserting the pre-filled cream. | I had such a terrible reaction to this medicine. The pain/burning/itching was so much worse than the actual infection itself. My vagina and rectum felt like they were on fire. From the reviews, it looks like the egg suppositories are not as bad. But definitely will NOT try the cream again. | 25 | 3 days | 5/5/2020 | 1 | YI | i have never felt pain like this. i've been using monistat for years and for some reason this round hurt like a BITCH. i do not recommend. | F | 20 | 3 days 3 3X day | 7/27/2020 | 1 | Yeast Infection | The WORST itching and burning inside my vagina all three days for hours everyday. Absolutely terrible cramps, migranes and itching all over my legs. I will never use this product again. These reviews are spot on. The actual yeast infection is nothing compared to using this product. It was a nightmare. | F | 28 | 3 days 1X day | 8/11/2020 | 1 | Yeast Infection | SEVERE BURNING and ITCHING | Do NOT purchase the pre-filled cream applicators. It felt like I inserted acid into my vagina and everything was burning and itching (my legs were itching all the way down to the bottom of my feet). I have never in my life experienced something like this. Childbirth was better than this! The burning and itching lasted for 2 hours the first and second day and 1.5 hours the third day. I will NEVER use the cream again...sticking to the suppositories (3 day). | F | 39 | 3 days | 2/28/2020 | 1 | vaginal yeast infection | Intense headaches upon waking, dizziness, flu-like symptoms, itching/burning down there | I recently had surgery and the antibiotics caused a yeast infection. I took diflucan last time I had a YI and it cleared up immediately. I didn't feel like making the trek to a doctor while I'm recovering from a surgery so I opted for Monistat 3. I didn't have the crazy intense burning/itching some mention here, but it definitely does burn/itch. It wasn't super uncomfortable for me. The most uncomfortable side effects for me were the crazy headaches I woke up with. All 3 mornings! By the 3rd day I was also super dizzy and felt a little flu-ish. I was really worried I was getting sick, but nope, just the Monistat. I'd stay away from this if you're sensitive to medicines like me. It's not worth it. | F | 30 | 3 days 200mg 1X day | 3/14/2020 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Itching and burning | It burns and itches the heck. Wouldn’t recommend. I recommend the pill. Takes a while to work but it’s way better than this itchy drippy mess. | F | 17 | 3 days | 1/5/2020 | 1 | YO | Extreme burning and itching! I wanted to Rip my hair out from the pain. It lasted a good 2 hours and I didn’t even want to move because of the pain. I wouldn’t recommend this product to my worst enemy. | Try literally anything else but this products unless you like the feeling of your vagina being on fire! | F | 27 | 3 days | 1/10/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | Intense burning, itching, pain and signs of bleeding | WTH happened to the original formula?? Take this crap off the shelf and fix it. Too many of us are in ridiculous pain. I've used monistat before and never had symptoms like this. Intense burning, itching and pain with beginning signs of bleeding after applying 2nd day of 3 day treatment. Had to wash as much out as possible and apply an ice pack which I'm using as I'm writing this. I'm not kidding, do buy this stuff. Monistat should be sued for cruelty | F | 54 | 3 days 3 day 1X day | 11/4/2023 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Started burning itching and cramping almost immediately, then started bleeding that night, finished the treatment 2 days ago and I'm still cramping and bleeding and my period is not due for almost 2 more weeks!! Will NEVER USE AGAIN | F | 42 | 3 days 3 day 1X day | 1/31/2022 | 1 | Yeast infection | I'm prone to yeast infections so you'd think I'd learn my lesson by now... NOPE, I keep buying Monistat... SO as a seasoned veteran (lol), here is my advice... Insert the ovule JUST as you plan to fall asleep, if you cannot fall asleep quickly, take T1s... In the morning you'll wake up to the pleasant surprise of feeling better.. Think again, cause when you go pee the medication is going to come out and start burning/itching all over again, so have T1s ready for when you get up in the morning, too!! And WHATEVER YOU DO, *do* *not* use the external cream in hopes it will help with the burning/itching caused by the ovule because it will make it all SO MUCH worse! | If you can get past the excruciating pain, it does work to get rid of yeast infections | F | 26 | 3 days 1 ovule 1X day | 10/23/2020 |
