| 1 | Candidiasis Vaginalis | not as serious as others but still having digestive problems for over a month since taking the medication, accompained by acid reflux, intense gases and cramps, and worst of all a constant metallic and bitter taste in the mouth with peeling of the tongue and mouth mucose, still persisting. Liver feels swallen and intoxicated. | Not worth to damage your health for so long just to get rid of the candida. If I knew I would have never taken it. | F | 43 | 1 days 200 mg. 1X day | 12/18/2010 | 1 | Vaginal yeast infection | Wow. I had an empty box of GEN-Fluconazole with 1 refil, so I called up my nearest Shoppers Drug Mart, and they said that they no longer stock that generic form of Diflucan, as it has been backordered and apparently not available, but then she recommened that I take the Canesten 1-day oral pill, which was apparently also Fluconazole, but Canesten now has the rights to this drug, I would assume. It retails for $20.95 Canadian. I bought this thinking I would have the same experience I had on the GEN-Fluco. Not at all! On the second day, I woke up with red-orange pee and reduced urine output. My kidneys hurt, my intestines were cramping, my rectum hurt, my liver hurt, my vagina hurt, my head hurt, there were sores on the sides of my togue and on my tonsils/throat. I was disoriented from the pain. I went to the Emergency department at the nearest hospital - they took my blood and urine for tests - they came back clean - they also did an MRI and an ultrasound of my entire abdomen. | The reason I bought this was becuase I was on Ciprofloxacin for a week before and as per usual, yeast comes with a broad spectrum antibiotic like this one. I felt I had to get diflucan, so I did, and I regret it. The best remedy for a localised yeast infection (vagina/rectum) is inserting 1-3 peeled and scored garlic cloves into the vagina/rectum and leaving for several hours, or overnight. Using a needle and thread, you can thread a string through them so that they are easy to remove when done. Repeat as necessary for several days. This really works - allicin (ingredient in garlic) kills bacteria and fungi. I've actually tried it before and will do this again in the future. | F | 30 | 1 days 500 1X day | 11/29/2010 | 1 | Oral thrush passed on from baby | Within hours of taking this medicine on a saturday my upper lip swelled up like I got punched in the mouth, it turned bright red with a tint of purple. I was to take the second pill on monday. I took it knowing I probably shouldnt and on tuesday I woke up with ulcers or blisters in mt cheeks, under my tongue on my throat and a gross ulcer or blister on my upper lip. I am in so much pain, I thought I had some kind of disease or cancer but I remembered when I took this a few months back my lip got swollen with a blister on top. And after hearing many other women getting painful ulcers all over the mouth and lips I am sure it is this medicine. This stuff is bad news. And I dont get it I took this stuff several times before the past 2 times and never had any problems. I just wish these painful ulcers would go away im so miserable :( | F | 22 | 2 days 150 1X O | 10/20/2010 | 1 | Candida | Burning pain in mucous membranes,vagina and anal area one month on still have tingling and burning sensation in mouth and a sore on tongue. | Would not take this again. | F | 40 | 4 days 150mg 1X day | 10/3/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | Intense bowl pain with terriblre cramping experienced 4 days after pill. Seemed to get rid of yeast infection, however, am now experiencing intense tiredness. Cannot keep my regular schedule. Thought it was from returning from cruise vacation but has lasted for several days now. Says on the PDR I got from pharmacy to "call a physician right away" if tired. Are they kidding!!!! The physicians know NOTHING about side effects of drugs. If they do, I am sure, they don't share that with patient. I'm sure because they prescribe it..By the way side effects happened during cruise. Could not get off boat!!! Mad. | Take this dangerous drug off the market. Wish I had used a topical solution. | F | 64 | 1 times 150mg 1X day | 9/30/2010 | 1 | Yeast infection | Originally I never had any problems with it, but the last three times I was prescribed it, I started having a tingling in my lower lip within hours and then a cold sore like thing appeared. Very unsightly. It got worse with each time I took it, so I no longer take diflucan. | F | 33 | 1 days 1X AN | 9/27/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | Swelling and needlelike pain around lip and chin area. Began shortly after taking pill. This is seond time have experienced this. Will not take Diflucan anymore. | I used to be able to take Diflucan without any side effects. Apparently my body chemistry had changed. The side effects are frightnening and I wish I knew of an antidote for the reaction I am having. | F | 65 | 1 days 150 1X day | 9/18/2010 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Shortness of breath, throat swelling, chills, disorientation, anxiety, tongue swelling, blurred vision. | F | 38 | 2 days 1X day | 9/13/2010 | 1 | oral thrush | I experienced no side effects at the time I was taking it. However, after taking diflucan for a week my tongue had little white bumps that would not go away. Problems with my tongue progressed into burning quite badly, and now, after six months I have lichen planus and need to use steroids to placate it. I never ever had any problems such as this before taking the Diflucan and now believe you should take nothing stronger than Nystatin. Or, keep the thrush -- it is not as bad as what I have going on now. | F | 55 | 7 days 150 mg 1X day | 9/11/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | About a day and a half after taking this "miracle" 1-dose drug, I started having intense heart burn and gas cramping in the stomach. The acid burn was so bad that I couldn't stop producing mouthfuls of saliva. Swallowing it, in addition to the stomach pains, I threw up several times. It took me several hrs to be able to drive myself to the store to get some Pepcid AC, Pepto, and Maalox for relief. These drugs usually work (individually) like a charm for these issues. They barely had an effect on this hellish pain when used in combination. I've missed one day of work so far and may miss more. The cramping is lightening up a tiny bit but all I can consume is water in very small amounts and slowly. My stools are starting to turn into diarrhea and I'm becoming dehydrated. I'm so tired and have developed a migraine headache. My doctor says it sounds like flu symptoms, not a negative reaction to the drug. The intense itching in the vag is still there and it's now been 3 | I would not recommend this pill to anyone. Even if you think your luck will be better than all the negative reviews out there, why risk it? I wish I had done my homework...I had heard of Diflucan (thank you TV commercials) for years but never knew about these "less severe" side effects. What are they "less severe" than? Death? I think that if you miss work b/c you cannot function, run to the bathroom constantly, pass out, throw up, collapse due to gas and stomach cramping that makes you feel like your insides are doing origami, then the symptoms are quite severe. The FDA should reevaluate this drug. This site has educated me on the Candida Diet (see Bee's website: healingnaturallybybee.com and I'm going to go that route and hope for the best. | F | 31 | 1 days 150 1X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | I came down with Steven Johnson's Syndrome after taking Diflucan for a yeast infection. I had taken it a few times for 2 or so years before coming down with burning in my face, and blister on my lips and under my nose. Dark pigmentation problems after the seeping blisters healed. Face felt like it was on fire within 20 minutes of taking the drug. The drug distroyed my vagina and I now suffer from desquamative inflammatory vaginitis. Wish I would have known that this drug would ruin my life. It took me 10 years to determine how this mystery "vaginitis" developed. The sloughing off of skin with Steven Johnson's Syndrom is chronic in my vagina as my cells have been destroyed by Diflucan! | They should take this drug off of the market. No one should take this medicine. It is marketed as a miracle drug, but this drug ruined my life. Now I must figure out how to repair my vagina if possible and get my life back. | F | 31 | 1 days 30 MG 1X W | 8/9/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | Horrible nausea, stomach pain, headache and dizziness. Nausea has lasted 3+ days with no relief. | F | 37 | 1 times 150 1X O | 8/2/2010 | 1 | Avoid yeast infection w/antibiotics | This is the second time this has happened to me: within days from the dose, I get burning in every mucous membrane: vaginal, anal, lips and mouth, eyes. Slowly they go away - but I mean slowly - with the vaginal area being last. It hurts every time you go to the bathroom, and in between. Forget sex. It lasts for a month or more. I actually think this might be a mild form of Stevens Johnson and I will never risk that again by taking this. | F | 44 | 1 days 150 1X day | 5/10/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | Dizziness,nausea,arrythmia, vaginal swelling and burning. Now 5 days past taking pill and still have symptoms. Yeast infection may be gone but it feels like my vagina has been burnd Wold not attempt to have sex in this condition. Would never take this medication again. | F | 69 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 4/15/2010 | 1 | Yeast Infection | I developed red peeling spots all over my head, which burned on the back of my neck. My lips started peeling. I developed more spots on glandular areas, and then on my face. Miserable! And it didn't even get rid of my yeast infection. Total wash-out. | F | 40 | 1 times 150 MG 1X AN | 4/5/2010 | 1 | possible yeast infection | the first pill I took: for one week had soar pinching feeling near liver. 2 days later burning sensation developed in the rectum and bladder. From there on developed Bad gnawing/burning sensation in my bladder couple days before each menstruation. 2nd pill 2months later: no pain near the liver but bladder pain became daily instead of couple days each month. | Went to Gyno for STI, did a wet mount and she said yeast, I tested negative for std's. Monistat made the sti worse..so I'm thinking it wasn't yeast, but took Diflucan shortly after Monistat failed. I didn't have bladder pain before I took Diflucan, but one day after I took it my bladder started having pain and this has been going on almost 5 months!! Then I got yeast culture done and was negative/bacteria in urine and signs of UTI were negative, but gyno kept trying to get me to take more Diflucan. I took 2nd Diflucan pill & it made the bladder pain daily instead of couple days each month. I've talked to a few others who have experienced the same.. Diflucan causing IC. For some ppl diflucan helps but I think it is possible for it to cause chronic IC. I've never had bladder problems in my life until now. The pain is interferes with my daily life. I think Diflucan can be a cause of IC needs to be researched more in this aspect. | F | 30 | 1 days 1X day | 3/9/2010 | 1 | vaginal thrush | Nerve type pin pricking pain around eyelashes, on face, lips and all over scalp and inside my ears and nose, and on arms,and itching in mouth. Burning in mouth. Liver pain. Passing out, loss of balance, fevers. Huge hives type rashes in thick lines on buttock, inside elbow and under arms towards back. Still like it two days after taking one tablet. | Please do not take this. I intend to take a good quality lactobacillus capsule internally daily for a few days to make sure this is gone and to go back to having a daily supplement and a live yoghurt every day. I stopped doing this last week and as I have no spleen and am getting older, believe this is why I got the thrush so quick. | F | 49 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 2/7/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | Within 30 minutes of taking the medication I experienced burning and itching in my lips, mouth, vagina and anus which gradually increased for about 3-4 days. What I thought was a severe cold sore developed on my bottom lip. My lips, mouth, lymph nodes, vagina and anus swelled. I have blisters inside my mouth, and on my bottom lip. The mucous membranes (skin)inside my mouth and on my bottom lip began peeling off, leaving the tissue raw and exposed. In addition, it began to bleed and is extremely painful. I cannot eat, the only liquids I can drink is water through a straw. | I took Fluconozole which is the generic form of Diflucan. I WILL NEVER USE THIS MEDICATION AGAIN! | F | 35 | | 1/10/2010 | 1 | Twice,after taking one oral Diflucan tabletfor vagina yeast infection, I had severe red, extremely itchy, panful rashes in my fingers, then I had painful blisters inside my mouth, my tongue was coverd by a white layer.Extremely painful experience. First time I did not make the connection to Diflucan. But the second time I took Difucan, I broke out with the same painful rashes in my fingers within twenty minutes of taking Diflucan, then my lips swelled, everywher inside of my mouth and tongue became covered with extremely painful, white blisters, and the tongue covered by a white layer, making it impossible to eat anything except liquids. | Please make doctors, as well as the public more aware of this very painful and horrible side effect of Diflucan!! | F | 59 | | 1/7/2010 | 1 | Yes | Swollen face, especially lips, sores/rash in all tender spots, lips, vagina, inside nose, ear lobes After 1 does 150 mg for yeast infection | I was glad to find this site, I thought I had cold sores, but it is an allergic reaction to Diflucan. It's happened to me three times before but I did not make the connection. This time, 30 minutes after taking it this started. I just wish I knew what to do for the allergic reaction. Search the internet and all you find are add for pharmacies selling it :( | F | 39 | 1 days | 1/6/2010 |
