 1  Supposed yeast infection Very lethargic. Numbness and joint issues. Right leg collapsed while walking and I fell and sprained my ankle. Very constipated. Could not finish dosage and yeast seemed to improve but started coming back 3rd day. I had to stop taking the med after four days. I was aware of a sense of disorientation and stiffness all over my body. Why would pharmaceutical companies allow this drug to be on the market? 90 percent of these reviews I have read on line are describing exscruciating side effects from Diflucan. Get control of your pills big pharma!. Stop giving people harmful drugs. F 71 7 days

 1  Yeast infection I Take this medication. Within hours my lips tingle, around the area become very red and swollen, and within the next day a pus filled blister appears. I have looked up various info to conclude I have FDE from this medication. Do not take if you want this to occur. It takes about 7-10 days to fully heal and disappear and eventually the blisters pop and appear crusty and herpes like looking. Its so gross and not very appealing in appearance. I have taken this medication for years as I get recurrent yeast infections. Within the last 2 years, this side effect now occurs to my body. It's not worth it to take anymore. F 32 1 days

 1  Oral Thrush from antibiotics Extreme headache, fatigue, chest pain, nausea I have never had side effect problems from a prescription until now, this medication has made my life a living hell. I noticed oral thrush on my tongue & went to the urgent care, god prescribed this shit instead of nystatin. The following morning after taking my first dose I had this awful headache & pressure like symptom, it's been over a week now & it has not subsided but has prolonged. This medicine should not be on the market for anyone.. it's absolutely horrible. I feel horrendous, I haven't felt like myself since starting this poison. Never again!!!! F 21 6 days

 1  Vaginal yeast infection from antibi Rapid heart rate, feels like heart is pounding sometimes, stomach pains, burning in vag, after 3 days being off it I'm having anxiety from it with fast heart rate went to doctor. Now he wants me to have all kinds of heart tests. However, I really believe it's the diflucan. Open this gets out of my sister in the next few days. I would consider myself allergic to this medication and next time we'll just use monistat. F 71 1 days

 1  Yeast Infection Horrible anxiety, chest tightness, racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, blurred vision I got prescribed this medicine for a yeast infection and read into it before I took it, as I'm always anxious about taking a new medicine. Around 30 minutes after taking it, I noticed an anxiety attack coming out of nowhere. Previously, I never read anything about anxiety being caused by this, so it came as a shock. My chest has been tight, my heart racing, and shortness of breath all followed along with the anxiety attack. It's now been almost 3 hours since I took it and it's just as bad as when it first started. I hope that the one dose is enough for me because I never want to deal with these side effects again!

 1  Yeast infection So thankful I found this thread. I have been experiencing intense mid back pain to the point of thinking my liver is inflamed or I have cancer :( because I had taken antibiotics that led to the yeast infection I really didn't put two together and thought it was from the antibiotics. I'm realizing I'm reacting to the drug and it has been extremely painful and uncomfortable. I've been nauseous, stomach cramps like constipation (although I'm not), tinnitus, moody, tired all the time…. I'm so disappointed with myself that I didn't realize sooner. I will NEVER take this again. If you have any recommendations as to how to flush this crap out of my body please email me F 40 3 months

 1  Oropharyngeal Candidiasis. Horrible drug!!! Bad headaches started two weeks in. Headaches got so severe had to be rushed to emergency room. Brain swelling due to super low sodium. I had my sodium levels taken before I started this drug and they were perfect. Blood pressure also went out of control. Within an hour period it would fluctuate over 100 points this continued until I stopped the drug. Tachycardia also set in. Had to stay three days in the hospital and they still was unable to get things under control. Headaches continued with severe swelling in face and lips by third week. I was so weak I had to stay in bed, when I would get up I would pass out. Doctor finally determined that it was the Diflucan that was causing all these nasty symptoms. Within a week of being off this deadly drug most symptoms have gone away, but slight headache and muscle aches continue. I have taken this same drug numerous times in the past 30 years and this is the first time I have had any reaction to it. I will NEVER take this poison M 55 24 days

 1  Yeast infection I am just over 6 months out from taking this medication and I am still suffering with side effects. I posted on here 4 months ago. Some side effects have improved- sore eyes are not as bad and the burning sensation in my skin has gone. However my scalp is still painful when my hair is pulled even slightly and scalp feels almost itchy all the time, neuropathy perhaps? Still not finding any answers to what diflucan has done to my body, waiting to see a neurologist. F 32 5 days

 1  Yeast infection Severe stomach pain, like my intestines were burning. Constipation, gas and bloating. Stomach pain would travel throughout my entire digestive system, but mostly stayed in my left abdomen/colon region. Episodes of sudden sweating or chills. Very distended stomach, stabbing pains in left abdomen, ribcage and upper back. Extremely miserable and worried I had a hernia, pancreatitis, gastritis, ovarian or colon cancer. Put up with the pain and worry for a week, then went to the e.r. All tests (urine, blood) and a CT scan came back normal. Finally realized it was all caused by taking this drug, which was a very expensive and scary lesson to learn. Now taking probiotics to restore the good gut bacteria that this drug apparently annihilated. Starting to feel better, pain is starting to lessen. This drug is either too powerful, or the side effects need to warn of debilitating stomach pain that may result in an unnecessary trip to the nearest emergency room. Never again! Wipes out all the good bacteria in your body and causes horrible discomfort, pain and unnecessary fear. F 50 1 days
