| 3 | Antibiotic related yeast infection | I took the generic 150mg fluconzole yesterday. Today I noticed a metallic taste in my mouth, along with a tiny blister on the roof of my mouth. My lips are burning only mildly. My throat feels raw. My downtown area is still red and itchy. The pill seems to be helping slightly, but after reading all of the symptoms on here I think I may just skip the last pill and try the yogurt theory instead. | F | 24 | 2 days 150 1X day | 12/21/2010 | 3 | vaginal yeast infection | 1st time I was prescribed the generic brand & it worked perfectly within a few hours with a little upset stomach. The 2nd time, I was itching all over like crazy, no rash, but itching on my face, legs, stomach, head, underarms. Other than that, I'd take it again probably. | F | 32 | 200mg 1X day | 10/18/2010 | 3 | Cripptocauccus fungal infection | It was the worst side effects ever. I wanted to die. I couldn't get out of bed without throwing up, had headaches so strong that I tought my head was going to explode..lost 15 lbs...muscle weakness, fever..everything...this drug was taking my life for 2 weeks...i cant even think about it =\ | But once you get over your side effects, that is when your body gets used to the medication ..it worked fine..lost all the symptons and cured my infection....my body reacted the worst way towards it n it was hell..hope no one else goes through what i went through | M | 20 | 7 months 2X day | 10/4/2010 | 3 | yes | I went to my doctor because i knew i had a yeast infection. she gave me diflucan like always but it is not working and it seems it only made it worse. I slept for an hour last night and thats not me. | F | 23 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 7/16/2010 | 3 | yeast infection | After taking medication lips and hands started tingling/burning. The next day large blister appeared on my lip. I didn't realize Diflucan was the cause until today when same tingling sensation appeared 30 minutes after taking it. The first time I thought it was just a fever blister. Have been taking this product for years and never had a reaction like this until this year. It took around 1 week for the symptoms to go away the first time around. | F | 23 | 1 days 150 1X day | 6/29/2010 | 3 | systemic candida | I see that most of these people don't realize they are experiencing DIE OFF SYMPTOMS. The nausea and stomach are the diflucan but the rashes, burning vaginal area, itching etc. are from the candida. Having had this for many years and treating with oregano oil, coconut oil and other natural remedies I know what I am talking about. Go look at "Bee's Candida" website. Very informative. I realize Bee doesn't advocate taking pharmaceuticals but I was desperate. My crotch has tiny razor cuts all over the pelvic floor and other places and it looked like someone had burned me with an iron. So far I still have the cuts but they are DIE OFF SYMPTOMS. The nausea... now that's the Diflucan. But feeling real exausted... that could be the Diflucan too | F | 57 | 4 weeks 100 mg 1X day | 6/26/2010 | 3 | systematic cnadida | difficulty breathing, tightness in chest, dizziness panic | I originally took Diflucan for vaginal candida without any side effects. Then I got systematic candida after battling amobae from India with antibiotics for a year. Used Diflucan a few times without side effects for a few years. But now have such severe side effects especially heart racing and tightness in chest that three times I went to the Emergency Room. It was pretty terrifying. Only after 3 times did I realize that it was from the Diflucan. Stopping sugar and going the healthy way has worked in the past too, but takes a little longer. Grapefruitseed extract works well but takes a few days- be careful, too much can burn the urinary track. This is the route I will take from now on. | F | 55 | 150 1X day | 5/17/2010 | 3 | Yeast infection | Severe dizziness, nausea, near vomitting, stomach pain, headache | I took this pill yesterday and a little over an hour later I thought I was going to lose my lunch. I got severely dizzy (I'm still dizzy today) and sick to my stomach. I got home from work at 3pm and had to immediately lay down. I slept until 7pm and still felt bad. I was hoping this morning I would feel better, but no such luck! It's taking all I have to get my job done. I don't know if I would recommend this medication. I honestly don't even think it's helped my yeast infection. | F | 31 | 1 days 1 pill 1X AN | 5/9/2010 | 3 | Yeast Infection | I came to this website because after 30 minutes of taking Diflucan (generic) I started getting icthy lips. This happened about two months ago, when I took it for urinary infection (prescribed for 3 days). At that moment I thought that the itching and posterior blistering of my lips was because of fever, or stress. I know realize that the blistering and itching was caused by the Diflucan. I rather use a cream for the yeast infection instead of getting these blisters. I will not use again. | Now, as I write this. I am also getting a headache. I feel like taking a Benadryl to counter the effect of the allergic reaction, but I can not find any comments or contraindications that this can be done. | M | 47 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 5/4/2010 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Headache, Dizziness, extreme abdominal pain/bloating, aches all over, unable to focus, fatique. | Ive taken this 4 times, and the side effects get worse every time. I guess its not the best med to get rid of yeast infection for good, but it does help after about a week of feeling side effects. | F | 19 | 1 days | 1/30/2010 | 3 | chaser after antibiotics | i took generic diflucan a little over 24 hours ago and have been feeling increasingly drained. now my joints and body ache all over and i cant sleep(hence the research and review). i think the antibiotics gave me the worst headache for 5 days now that is still lurking so i'm not sure if the diflucan is contributing to that?(probably) i have taken this many times in the past and usually not many side effect, though i do remember getting the sick feeling. these muscle aches are awful, i can't get comfortable, my back aches, my elbows and knees are killing me. i was fine before.she prescribed another dose if i needed it. i've already missed a week of my life from pills. wont be taking it. | body aches, i hurt all over especially my joints. | F | 41 | 1 times | 1/17/2010 | 3 | Yeast Infection | While on this medication, I could NOT sleep. I kept waking up in the middle of the night and that never happens to me. Also I could never get my body temperature right, always too hot or too cold, stomach cramping was a problem as well as dizziness and weakness/nausea. However I had a very bad yeast infection according to my doctor and it started working within the first day of treatment. | Took 2 pills, the second one 3 days after the first. | F | 21 | 3 days | 12/20/2009 | 3 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | I did not have side effects, thank GOD! I just took the single dose 150 last night, and at first itchy just a little before I took it. Tonight my vajayjay is so itchy I've rubbed it irritated with wipes and finally decided to coat my inner walls with vaseline and this helped. I think this medicine will work eventually, but I need cream in meanwhile to soothe itch. | I did not develop any rashes, experience any vomiting, or blisters think this may be due to other medicine or medical issues. I am a healthy young female just having a yeast infection. | F | 29 | 1 days | 11/5/2009 | 3 | yeast infection from antibiotics | swollen left ear lobe, rash in left nostril, swollen upper lip that turned blood red in color. i've taken the drug many times and only experienced this the last two times. | F | 22 | | 8/11/2009 | 3 | Yeast infection | None after first single pill dose. After second single pill dose: Severe nausea, lack of appetite, and occasional vommiting | Took first single pill dose, which cleared up all the yeast and itching within about 3 days. My doctor had given me a second single pill dose to use incase the yeast was still there a week later, it was all gone however i took it to be on the "safe side". Had the worst nausea of my life for 2-3 days. | F | 16 | 2 weeks | 8/4/2009 | 3 | yeast infection | After one Diflucan the following day I was constipated which lasted for 5 days of hell in which i finally needed medication in order to numb my anus in order to go. I honestly don't know, however, if it was definitely the medication as I was on antibiotics (reason for the yeast infection) a week prior to this experiencce and that also had begun to harden stools. However, it wasn't until after the Diflucan that I could not go at all so I am thinking it was related to the Diflucan. Took generic brand once years ago and didn't have a problem so I really can't tell. Did seem to treat the yeast this time. Did nothing for it time before... Listed as a 3 because I am really not sure how to rate this medication | F | 35 | 1 days | 7/31/2009 | 3 | Chronic Yeast Infections | headaches | This medication is helpful, but when using it, I couldn't go 30 days without a returning yeast infection. On this site, someone recommended getting *refrigerated* 'Pro-biotic' drinks from the health food store. I began taking one, twice per week - and I've gone four MONTHS without a yeast infection...... Yay!!!! They are amazing little drinks, much more effective than ordinary acidophilus choices. The taste is like strong buttermilk - not so great - but so 'worth it'!!! It's a 'natural way' to go, plus zero side effects, like the Diflucan can bring at times. I am SO grateful to whomever it was that left the info on here, for me to be able to cure myself - so.... I had to write this, to pass it on. Good luck and 'happy health' :-) | F | 45 | 2 years | 11/1/2008 | 3 | Yeast infection | Swelling of lower lip, itchy lip border, blisters | This constellation of symptoms seems to be a fixed drug reaction to the Diflucan. It happened the last time I took it also. | F | 33 | 1 days | 10/16/2008 | 3 | yeast infection in rectal area | facial rash (very itchy), drowsiness, craving for sweets | I am not sure yet it cured the fungal infection--although it seems to be getting better-- but the itch in my face is bad, not to mention it is pretty unsightly. I took twice 1-time doses, refilled by physician. The rush appeared after the 2nd dose. | F | 49 | 5 days | 10/5/2008 | 3 | yeast infection | Nausea and slight dizziness. | I took an antibiotic for a sinus infection and after a few days developed horrible itching!! Dr. prescribed one dose treatment of Diflucan, I took it yesterday and the side effects didn't start until this morning. Symptoms of yeast infection seem to be a little better today. I just don't like this sick feeing!!! | F | 43 | 1 days | 4/3/2008 |
