| 1 | yeast infection | lips burn and swell, red, itchy rash around mouth/chin/nose that dries out and peels. lips crack/bleed at the corners. rash lasts for about a week before healing. looks and feels horrible. | I have taken Diflucan several times in the past without any side effects but in the past year, it has started to cause a reaction each time I take it. I didn't make the connection until now. I had thought I was having an allergic reaction to a cosmetic I was using but just connected the dots--- within 30 minutes of taking Diflucan, my lips burn and swell and I get a rash that goes around my mouth, my chin, some on my cheeks and nose. The rash is bright red, itchy, raised bumps and lasts about a week. The rash dries out and peels as part of the healing process and looks horrible each step of the way. All you want to do is hide. I will never take Diflucan, orally, again, and will, instead use vaginal creams. | F | 36 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 2/23/2014 | 5 | Yeast infection | No side effects except worry after reading some of these comments here. | I think most of the negative comments are associated with allergies to this drug. If you are not allergic to it, then diflucan does what it's supposed to do: knock out the yeast infection. It relieved most of my symptoms In a couple of days after the first pill. Then I was prescribed one more three days later and the rest of the symptoms went away also. | F | 59 | 2 days 150 mg 1X day | 2/18/2014 | 1 | Yeast infection | :-( DIZZY, NAUSEOUS, HEADACHE, CLAMMY HOT FLASHES. I feel over all like I am extremely high on pain killers?!Or a very bad hangover! FAST HEART RATE, I'm very tired and emotional. Sensitive to noises! I will NEVER take this again. Everytime I take it the symptoms gets worse | F | 22 | 1 days 150mg | 2/5/2014 | 1 | Yeast infection from antibiotics | Nauseous, bad taste in mouth, tired, and after 1 day later I started vomiting. Hope this doesn't last long! The pharmacist told me diflucan drug stays in your system for a week. | F | 36 | 1 days 200 mg | 1/30/2014 | 4 | Yeast Infection | Nausea; stomach cramps; gas; overall "sick" feeling | Made me pretty queasy and I didn't feel so good. It was about 3 days after I took it that my yeast infection finally cleared up, but it didn't come back, so I'd say it worked. | F | 19 | 2 days 1X day | 1/14/2014 | 1 | yeast infection | M | 35 | 10 days 150 mg 1X day | 12/31/2013 Patient History | 3 | FUNGAL OVERGROWTH FROM ANTIBIOTICS | I felt dizzy flu like feeling and i had menustral cramps so bad cramping is a side effect of this medication. It made me feel foggy, like I had sleep deprivation By day two my liver was in pain it was pretty intense | It was hard to tell if Diflucan is causing a die off or side effects but I finally decided it was side effects. Diflucan did work it did stop my skin from itching like crazy and it worked fast but the side effects were not worth it to me . I went straight to my Chinese medicine doctor for an herbal natural formula it may take a couple days longer to work, but it highly effective and has no side effects at all. | F | 45 | 7 days 150 1X day | 12/29/2013 | 1 | Vaginal yeast infection | Huge painful blister on roof of mouth tried a few times happened both times | F | 41 | 1 days | 12/21/2013 | 1 | oral thrush | stopped after 1 dose.! 5 hours after taking it, started feeling anxious/panicky, horrible headache, nauseaus, insomnia and inner tremors when trying to sleep. Next day felt like a horrible hangover. | I have taken this before...about 7 years ago. Didn't feel a thing. A few years later it put me in the hospital hyperventilating, however at the time I didn't realize it was the diflucan. 1 year ago, gave me rapid heart rate. Now it did all this.... Am I allergic?? I really don't know. Not typical allergic reaction, just horrible reaction. Feels like a poison. Some people will say its the candida die off, but doctors don't support that theory. I will never take again, but now what do I do for yeast? Monistat cream raises my heart rate too. | F | 47 | 7 days 100mg 1X day | 10/19/2013 | 1 | Thrush | Tingling of face, hands and legs. Also numbness in arems and legs. Episodes of rapid heart and breathing rate. Twitching of legs and facial area. Affected mood. Chills and loss of appetite and fatique at the on set of reaction. | After taking one 150 mg pill, I began to have burning in lips and facial area. Symptoms began to grow, with severe fatigue, numbness is legs and arms. Rapid episodes of breathing after eating or moving around much. Obtained a steriod shot on 4th day of symptoms, which didn't seem to help. Benedryl everys 4/6 hours helped some. My husband missed work for a week caring for me. Throat swelled and finally facial twitching. Please be very cautious taking this medication. I thought twice I was going to die and the people at the ER couldn't believe that this was occuring 8 to 10 days after taking 1 pill of generic Diflucan !! | F | 36 | 1 days 150 MG 1X day | 10/12/2013 | 4 | Yeast infection | I have taken diflucan several times in the past 4-5 years. I have never noticed anything horrible for side effects such a palpitations or rash/hives. However I do get some utering cramping occasionally. I assume its because the ywast infection is pretty bad and the drug is working mightily to get rid of the yeast. I also had a small amount of fungus in my big right toe and it also cleared that up! So thought it was pretty cool it killed two birds with one stone! I sometimes have low back pain and on the first and second day, some white discharge. But again. I believe its the pill doing its job. I have auto immune disease so unfortunately I have to be on antibiotics quite a bit which causes the high amount of yeast infections I get. Sorry to hear so many bad stories. But for me, Diflucan/ diflucanazole works great!! | F | 33 | 1 days 150mg | 10/3/2013 | 2 | Yeast Infection | Strong Heart Palpitations | I just returned from the ER. I took one dose earlier today and this evening I got strong heart palpitations. Very scary-I thought this was the "big one"! This was my first time taking it, I will never take it again... | F | 55 | 1 days 150mg. 1X day | 8/22/2013 | 1 | thrush | Only after the third time of getting reaction did I realise it wad diflucan. Within an hour I had severe burning itch on face and all over body. Tongue and eyelid swelled up. Blisters on tongue making it difficult to eat or drink anything hot for over a week. Never again! | F | 39 | 1 days 150mg | 7/30/2013 | 3 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | Hives, itching, redness, tingling lips, tingling hands, tingling feet, swollen lips. I have taken this medication several times before and it worked perfectly. The last 3 times I took Diflucan, I broke out in hives. At first, I couldn't figure out what was making me have an allergic reaction. Diflucan was the last product I thought broke me out since I've taken it before with no problems. On the third breakout, I determined that it was the Diflucan pill which caused the hives. During the first breakouts, all the doctors and nurses informed me that it was highly unlikely that it was the Diflucan but clearly it was. | F | 26 | 1 days 150 MG | 7/21/2013 | 3 | Yes | None | F | 33 | 2 days 150 | 6/13/2013 | 2 | I had cold. Weak. Swelen lymph. Noisy stomach.etc | M | 23 | 5 days 200mg | 5/31/2013 | 3 | Yeast infection | Same side pain on right side, Hot flash like symptoms on my right side arm and leg. Orange urine after a week. | Hi, I am the same one that had the SEVERE SIDE PAIN. I wanted to give some people an update. I apparently have recurrent yeast infections..... I wanted to let people know that Diflucan will clear up your yeast infection. (not amazingly)... but you have to take probiotics and adjust your diet after or it will most likely come back. So after my CT scan, about a week later my yeast infection symptoms came back (burning). I was hesitant, but my doc put me on a lower does of dilucan 100mg. I took 1, then 1 three days later, and she wanted me to take one once a week after that for 6 months..... So after that I took one 6 days later and then another three days later since I was still having the burning and it didn't appear to be working and she said it was ok..... Before and now I experience weird right arm and leg warm sensations on the meds, occasional orange urine and of corse the side pain came back...... not as bad though. I had all this before on the pill.... I dont understand since I was on a lower does and took it less often...... I told my doctor I dont want to take Diflucan anymore. Obviously I dont react well to it. Iam going to try more natural ways to clear it up. If you have a yeast infection I recommend trying cream first before the pill. | F | 22 | 2 weeks 100mg 2X W | 4/12/2013 | 1 | yeast | I feel like death walking..i ate a big meal drinked water then cranberry juice .then took the pill lastnight.one pill is all i was given to take.5hour later my heart beat so fast thought i was having heart attack.i had full panic attack my right upper part of my stomach hurted like it was finna pop.the middle of my belly button hurt so bad i was crying.i couldnt sleep.today im barey ate my stomach hurt im tired.and i feel like dog shit and death walkin..is this normal..im scared!!!a headace is slowly creepin i call this pill the vampire itz sucking me dry.. | F | 32 | 1 days 150 | 4/7/2013 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Severe right side pain in my lower back and liver region! SO MUCH PAIN! | I have a yeast infection for about a month. I took 1 does of diflucan 150mg at the End of january with no reaction to the product, but it did not clear up my problem. A month later I got tested and still had yeast. My doctor recommend that I try one 150mg does every 3 days for 3 doses. I was like thats fine since I had no reactions and it would only be about a week and Iam desperate. After the first 3 days everything was fine, then i took the second does. Heres where the problem started. Next day started to get right side pain, nothing bad but it was noticeable. It continued to get worse but I thought I sprained a mussel until I took the 3rd does three days later...... THE PAIN GOT WORSE TO THE POINT 800MG OF IBUPROFEN DID NOT WORK. IT HURT SO BAD!!! I ended up in urgent care for 12 hours to get a CT to make sure i didnt have a ovarian cyst or my appendix burst. All said it was not the pill. They sent me home since could not find anything but the pain was so bad i missed school. luckily after that hell I came home and it slowly got better after the drug was complexly out of my system which is why Iam convinced. I have never had this happen before until the pill. BEWARE IF YOUR 110 pounds. It and my liver did not work and I was not even on a long term use.... (ps it stopped the burning in my vaginal region but did not kill all my yeast). I will never take that much again. | F | 22 | 9 days 150mg 3X W | 3/23/2013 | 4 | Yeast Infection | So far, I just had one day of bad gas. I had stomach pain at the start, and this medication made it go away. Before taking this drug, I had been taking 2,000 mg of caprylic acid daily for a month. I had a bad reaction to that treatment at first--severe diarrhea and vomiting, but it was probably the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction because I got past this after a couple of days. I'm supposed to remain at this diflucan dose for 4 weeks and then get my liver function tested. If all is well, I'm supposed to stay on Diflucan for a total of 6 weeks. I'll be reporting back. | F | 56 | 1 weeks 100 mg 2X day | 3/18/2013 |
