| 3 | Vaginal yeast infection | I wasn't experiencing any external symptoms of a yeast infection but my GYN said I had a lot of yeast intravaginally. I felt better before I took the Diflucan. It is interesting to note that other people I've talked to personally had no problems with it, but a lot of people writing reviews had similar side effects as me. | F | 33 | 1 days 150 1X day | 4/16/2014 | 3 | yeast infection | Face turned flushed..eyes cheeks and lips swole...never happened when taken several time before. They did something different to it. Did cure yeast infection though. | F | 31 | 1 days 150 mg | 4/13/2014 | 3 | Candida | muscle weakness, stomach aches, gastronomical issues, extreme hair loss!!!!!, | If it wasn't for the extreme hair loss I would never think of discontinuing my use of this drug. I take it so often because it has even helped with my depression. At this point i do feel like I am addicted to this drug thats how good it works for me. At times it can make me feel a little lethargic; but I just feel extremely laid back and calm with no anxiety. Although, after using it for 6 months straight I am experiencing thinning hair and it is devastating . I am now so depressed because Diflucan has been beneficial to me in treating my ailments even colds and apathy; but the hair loss I cannot take. I have even gone to the point now of putting monistat on my scalp hoping that will decrease the shedding because I figure that if I have a history of candida infection then maybe I need to treat the scalp and this will work to combat the hair loss. Now I believe that I am having negative side effects from that, such as headaches and foggy thinking. It seems like I can't win for losing….but if you are planning on taking Diflucan for a short period of time I definitely recommend the drug. It is when you take it for long durations past 2 and 3 months that you will experience the hair loss. It can be such a miracle drug that it cleans your organs and can even help with weight loss; I find it to be an energy booster ; -- I just wish it didn't cause you to lose your hair!!!! ------ | F | 34 | 1 years 75 2X W | 4/6/2014 | 3 | to prohibit yeast with antibiotic | My face turned hot, red and itchy. I had red blotches on my arms and legs. My lips and gums were tingling. | I had never had a problem with Diflucan until the last time I took it. This is the second time. Now I know I am allergic and will not take it again. | F | 51 | 1 days 1X day | 4/4/2014 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 3 | oral fungus infection | I was taking one pill a day for 5 days(200mg) for possible oral fungus infection. Experienced dizziness and nausea especially the first day. Also some fatigue and raised heart rate. But the side-effects diminished every day. Also am using a medicated mouthwash. Hopefully I will be cured soon! | Every drug gives you side effects....but this one is not really bad!! | F | 61 | 200 1X O | 10/26/2012 | 3 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | Took the medicine for 7 days in February, got a nasty cold sore. Took 1, 150mg tablet in early June, no cold sore but it didn't cure the infection. Took another dose of 100mg for 7 days, cold sore again. | Dr said it's "not common" but it sounds like people can develop these symptoms. The last time around they tested me for HIV (I'm thinking, so it's more likely that I have HIV than the medication is causing this?). I was Negative. they want me to test again in 2 weeks. | F | 24 | 7 days 100 mg 1X day | 7/8/2012 | 3 | Chronic yeast infection | None so far but I am only halfway through. | I am not sure this is even working. I don't feel any different. | F | 45 | 30 days 100 1X day | 5/18/2012 | 3 | Yeast Infection | I took Diflucan a few months back and woke up in the middle of the night because the soles of my feet were extremely itchy and my lips were itchy and swollen. Coincidentally, that day I used a new face wash and lip balm, and had my carpets cleaned so I thought it was one of those things that I was reacting to. I had previously taken Diflucan without issue so didn't think twice about it being the cause. My feet were itchy and tingly for days. Fast forward to tonight -- I took another dose to treat a YI (6 months after the first reaction). I am now experiencing itchy lips and have put two and two together and have realized that I have an allergy to this med. I took a Benadryl so hopefully it will prevent the itchy foot reaction. | F | 37 | 1 days 150 MG 1X day | 4/27/2012 | 3 | Thrush | More tired than usual | I was scared to take it after reading all of the reviews, but other than feeling tired I had no side effects. It took until day 6 before I saw any results | F | 23 | 7 days 150mg 1X day | 3/10/2012 | 3 | Recurrent Yeast Infection | I had 3 or 4 yeast infections in the last 12 months. My doctor gave this to me because the last treatment kit didn't completely get rid of the infection. I took this with my lunch yesterday and felt fine until dinner time. I cooked my dinner and started to eat it. Halfway through I couldn't stand the smell or taste of it. This morning I thought I was going to throw up after just a small sip of my coffee. I broke out in a sweat and felt dizzy. I didn't throw up but my stomach still feels funny. I did have some vaginal itching overnight. | So far it has worked othere than the nausea, slight dizziness, and breaking out in a sweat. | F | 24 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 11/17/2011 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Severe dizziness, tongue tingling, headace | I've taken this drug in the past with no complications or side affects, however the past couple times I have had this reaction to it. The first time I took it I never put 2 & 2 together and realized it was the Diflucan, I went to my PCP and she gave me some Rx for vertigo which did not help. This time the dizziness is worse and the tongue tingling started. I always swore by this drug in the past as the Miracle pill, but in the future no more :( | F | 37 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 8/26/2011 | 3 | YEast Infection due to Antibiotics | No more discharge and burning. But still itchy. I dont know if i still have yeast infection or because of the rashes i had bec of the yeast. im confused. | F | 24 | 3 days 150 3X day | 8/1/2011 | 3 | Yeast infection | Facial rash and intense itching across my forehead, down my nose and around my mouth. | I have taken this drug numerous times over the years without issue. A few months ago I was on a 7 day course of 100 mg 2x day. By the second day I started having the facial itching, rash, and ended up with sores on the corners of my mouth. I thought it was only because of the extended course of treatment. I needed a course of prednisone to alleviate the allergic reaction. This time around i only took one 150mg dose and within 2 hours I had the exact same facial reactions. Two days later and the itching is driving me nuts, even after taking anti-histamines! This is the last time I'll ever use this drug | F | 39 | 1 days 150 1X day | 7/12/2011 | 3 | Yeast infection | Since I have cronic sinusitis & am often prescribed anti-biotics I have been taking the fluconazole 150 mg pill. It has been working fine until these red blemishes showed up on my face after taking it one day. At 1st I thought it was a mixture of the antibiotic & the fluconazole, but since I've been off the antibiotic & had to take the pill again the blemishes came back. In the same places, one big one on my chin turned purple and left a black mark/scar on my face!!! *tears* I am allergic to the over-the-counter creams & this pill has been the alternative, but there has to be something out there that won't attack my face. | F | 32 | 150mg 1X AN | 4/3/2011 | 3 | Valley Fever | Extreme dry ,cracking, peeling lips, Loss of hair, loss of eyebrows and loss of eyelashes. | F | 51 | 4 months 400 2X day | 2/11/2011 Patient History |
