| 5 | penile yeast infection | NO SIDE EFFECTS EXPERIENCED! This drug saved me. | Took diflucan for a penile yeast infection. There have been very few times that I've been as miserable as when the infection was at it's strongest: sharp burning pain while peeing and from affected areas. Ouch. The first dose didn't do the trick. Took another 150mg pill on day three and finally things started to get better. Before this I put topical anti-yeast medication which did nothing except make the irritation worse. I am very anti-Western medicine but this drug really made a huge difference. | M | 38 | 3 days 1X day | 5/6/2010 | 5 | Oral Thrush, Candida | No side effects...except the thrush seems to be disappearing. | I had been trying the natural approach (for two months),diet,recommended supplements, and had some improvement.. but I wasn't winning the battle. This drug started to improve the symptoms within a few hours. Today is day two of a three day course...still improving. I am confident that by my last dose (tomorrow) I will have this thing licked. | M | 44 | 3 days 200mg 1X day | 7/3/2010 | 5 | fungal meningitis | hoarseness of voice, dizziness, headaches, nausea | Had fungal meningitis twice in my life. First time around, I took Diflucan for 4 years. Second time around, (recently), I have been taking Diflucan for two months, 800mg both times. I am going to be decreasing intake to 400mg, for the rest of my life. | M | 45 | 800mg 1X day | 1/4/2013 | 5 | Stem cell transplant | Dry lips and mouth | M | 61 | 6 months 400mg 1X day | 2/11/2013 | 5 | candidiasis | vertigo, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia | I rated this a 5 so people will see it. This drug is dangerous. It has been 2 years since my last Diflucan tablet, and I still experience vertigo, dizziness and fatigue. These side effects have improved over the last 2 years, but I still have problems with loss of balance and dizziness. If you experience this side effect, STOP taking Diflucan immediately, and inform your doctor. Pfizer insists that it knows nothing about this side effect, but both my doctor and I agree, that Pfizer is lying. Be careful. | M | 45 | 90 days | 11/8/2006 | 5 | skin fungus | none | Greatly improved a low level sinus infection or chemtrail allergy and the resulting fatigue and headaches that I have had for years. Seems to have also cleared up persistent skin fungus and boosted my immune system. Can be expensive to order online from some overseas sites - search for lower priced generic. Take it for several days. | M | 53 | 7 days | 2/12/2005 | 5 | Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever) | It's very hard to separate the side effects of Diflucan from the effects of Valley Fever, but having been on and off, I think I can distinguish the two. I'm presently on 600 mg/day, and I'm experiencing peeling lips, a rash and flaking skin on my stomach, thighs, and legs. The first time I was put on Diflucan, the infection was peaking, and the skin on my feet peeled off (moulted?) like a snake skin. The drug is effective, as indicated by blood tests, and the disappearance of some my symptoms. I feel the side effects are more annoying than serious. | M | 59 | 4 months | 2/16/2007 | 5 | Prophylaxis after Endocarditis | Have experienced no side effects. | Taking Diflucan after Colon Fistula, Sepsis, Colon Resection, Endocarditis, ARDS, and Aortic Valve replacement. | M | 63 | 4 years | 8/1/2007 | 5 | Toenail fungus | None noticed | I didn't realize I had toenail fungus for several years, but it was getting progressively worse and the nails were getting thicker and sometimes were painful. A doctor told me thats what I had and prescribed the diflucan. It took 6 months to completely change the toenails, but within a few weeks I noticed a difference. | M | 40 | 6 months | 2/15/2008 | 5 | Systemic Fungal infection | I have a very rare disease in which I do not produce antibodies. In addition to intravenous antibody treatment I spend a great deal of time on antibiotices which leads to fungal infections. The only side effect is that I am feeling 100% better than I did before I started taking it! | Great drug! | M | 42 | 3 days | 6/3/2009 | 5 | fungal infections | none | I have had tinea versicolor, athlete's foot, and fungal infections on my chest for several years. This stuff cured it flat. I had to take a 2nd dose a while after the first but between the two of them I have had no fungal infections for years now. This is the only thing that worked. Lamisil did nothing for me. | M | 35 | 3 times | 7/1/2009 | 5 | Candida | I was able to have sex again without pain :) no negative side effects. | My Candida, male yeast infection, had been out of control for years, on my penis and feet, and toe-nail discoloration. I noticed no symptoms three days after taking. This is my miracle drug. | M | 25 | 20 days | 1/6/2010 | 5 | Systemic candida | Most of the reviews I have read for this drug seem to be "yeast die off" reactions and not allergic reactions. This is speaking from experience of fighting systemic yeast for 5 years and trying 12 different anti fungal treatments. A simple google search "herxheimer symptoms" will explain that most of these negative diflucan reviews are from patients that have a serious underlying yeast problems, that blame the drug for doing what it is designed to do: kill yeast in every area of your body. I am thankful for flucanazole, no other treatment penetrates deeply into most all tissues of your body to stop the yeast. The last straw for me, to seek RX treatment was fungal arthritis. It has worked perfectly. Sad that doctors don't know much about " herxing." It sounds like a lot of the patients would have benefitted from this drug if they did not run away at the first reaction. Dealing with yeast is a bit like a behavioral intervention, things get ugly , loud , worse, then they get better than ever. | One month into treatment Good side effects: as much energy as when I was 20 years old. Don't need caffeine, sleeping much less at night, joint pain is gone, no more carbohydrate cravings, emotional stability that I haven't experienced in years. Negative side effects: localized and temporary itching at various infection sites (legs, face, eyes, arms). A few sharp but brief headaches ( Google "Alzheimer's candida"). A few sharp but brief pains internally. Side Note: also taking 600 mg daily of OTC Allicin (garlic derived), as studies have indicated synergism when fighting yeast. | M | 33 | 2 months 300 mg | 7/22/2016 | 5 | Male yeast infection from doxycycli | No side effects. | I feel bad so many have had bad reactions to this drug, but it has killed and cleared my yeast infection smoothly. | M | 44 | 2 weeks 150mg 1X W | 9/28/2016 | 5 | Candida systemic | I can admit many days the side effects are numerous and difficult but that is a clear sign that it is working. Spinning, confusion, mood swings, cotton mouth, frequent urination and even blood clots (thrombosis) Unable to function some days. These are symptoms and effects of candida die-off not the medicine. The fungus is to blame, just look up acytlehyde (might be spelled different) and then get excited you feel like heck because it is working. Most of my effects went away when I started drinking water one and half gallons per day. | I do want to reserve right to change my review as I still take the medication. You are able to contact me about my experience, so I hope you do and I hope you are blessed good health and prosperity. | M | 43 | 1 months 400mg per | 2/27/2017 | 4 | candida throughout my body | The first day I had to take two (10mg ea.), then one each day for 2 weeks. The first day I itched all over after that I was fine. | Since I have been on it for 8 days now all vaginal odor is gone,I have a better "taste" in my mouth, and now when I have a bowel movement I don't have to vacate that end of the house. An ENT doctor gave it to me because it looks like I have fungus on my vocal chords (my voice has gotten increasingly hoarse so my regular doctor sent me to the ear,nose, throat doc. So on the 10th (July) the ENT doc. will see if the Difucan helped. My voice is better.I'm looking now for natural ways to control Candida. This site helps! | M | 54 | 2 weeks | 7/1/2009 | 4 | Had a rash on body. | Taking the full 150 MG had weird side effects but read additional comments. | If you will cut the 150 MG tablet in half and take half in morning and half at evening it works great without known side effects. Otherwise taking the 150 MG at one time it made me have bad thoughts and my level of anger was high. | M | 64 | 7 days 150 1X day | 6/7/2014 | 4 | Jock itch, subcutaneous | Loose stools first day. Severe itching all over body day 2-3. Rash. | It worked. Killed everything | M | 39 | 1 days 150 | 6/12/2015 | 4 | Valley Feaver | dizzyness, sweating, tightness in chest and stomach - somewhat similar to the feeling you get after eating a lot of food. | Diflucan definitely helped get the fungus out of my lung. Was diagnosed with pneumonia 2 times over the course of 2 years before it was found that fungus has been growing in there, so the infection was pretty severe. After a month, I had no more pain. Wheezing went away after 2 months. I had no side effects for the first 3 months. During the 4th month, side effects got really bad to the point where I had to wait until I had a few hours after taking it where I could relax under a fan. | M | 26 | 6 months 200 mg 2X day | 9/15/2012 | 4 | Seborrhoeic dermatitis | diarrhea , bloating , nausea | Combined it with 3x day/4 capsules Oregon Grape Root (Berberine). Research : Berberine synergistic action against resistant fungus in combination with fluconazole. After 3 days noted disappearance of redness on scalp. Will replace Fluconazole with Itraconazole in combination with berberine for future treatment, to avoid adverse effects of Diflucan. | M | 42 | 3 days 100 mg 1X day | 6/5/2010 |
