| 3 | Yeast Infection | Diarrhea, vomiting, severe abdominal cramping. | I had a pap smear a week ago, and Dr. called me to tell me I had a yeast infection. I didn't know, had no symptoms. He prescribed Diflucan, I've never taken it before, but heard it was good. I took it at 7:30p and was up at 1:00a with severe diarrhea, vomiting and intense cramps in my lower abdomen. I don't know if the pain is from the medication attacking the yeast, but I thought this is what it must feel like to be disemboweled while still alive. I don't know how well the medication worked for the infection...but I do know I won't be taking it again. | F | 37 | 1 times | 12/4/2007 | 3 | Yeast DUH | My top lip(on my mouth) got very swollen!!! Ive taken it 3 other times after that to make sure it was the DIFLUCAN and every time it did it and then turned into a cold sore. | It got rid of the yeast infection but gave me a cold sore. | F | 24 | 1 days | 8/18/2007 | 3 | To avoid yeast infection | Diarrhea, and it allowed a non-Albicans species to take over | When I have a plain Candida Albicans infection, this drug is like a miracle. Within 8 hours, I feel much better. But I was taking it to avoid a vaginal yeast infection because I was on antibiotics for 2 months. Well, it killed off all the Albicans yeast all right, but in doing so, it allowed other Diflucan-resistant yeast species to grow. Have you ever tried to get rid of Candida Krusei? You don't want to have to try! It took months and months of anti-fungals to get rid of that pest, because it's resistant to most ordinary anti-fungals. I searched in the medical literature, and found cancer and HIV doctors complaining about the same problem in systemic candida infections. The Diflucan kills off the Albicans species and that opens the door for other species to grow and flourish. So only use it if you have to, and if you know you have a Candida Albicans infection. You can avoid or minimize the diarrhea by taking 1/2 a pill and then the other 1/2 a pill an hour or so later. | F | 48 | 5 days | 7/17/2007 | 3 | chronic gas | dizziness | I'm experiencing light-headedness. But for the woman who is having the bad headaches, they may well be created by the die-off reaction from the yeast. The yeast is probably throughout your body and releasing harmfull chemicals as they die. I'd say you have more to deal with than just vaginal yeast. | F | 38 | 3 days | 6/11/2007 | 3 | antibiotics | while i had taken this pill once before w/out any problems, this time i wasn't so lucky. i took the pill, and for some reason i started getting this itchy, burning rash "down there". i mean it's so uncomfortable. when i spoke with my doc about it, he told me that for some reason it sometimes does that, and he don't know why it does this, but told me to put cortozone on the rash and to soak in cold water to relieve the itching. needless to say, i've done this, and yet still have this rash...blah...no more yeast infection causing meds for me...(yea right..like that can be helped) | F | 29 | 1 days | 5/7/2007 | 3 | oral thrush / sinus infection | i had no side effects. | dr thought i had a fungal or bacterial sinus infection. the dr. prescribed amoxicillin at high dose along side diflucan. i didnt take the single dose of diflucan right away since i wanted to see if the amox would work. in the meantime, the amox gave me thrush. then i took the diflucan along with nystatin swallow. ultimately it cured the thrush but i still have the same sinus problems. go figure. | F | 40 | 1 days | 11/4/2006 | 3 | reoccuring yeast infections | I have only taken it in a one dose form in the past. Have not tried it for quite a few years but was concerned about side effects if I did. It did help cure the problem in the past but then the yeast came back. Feel beeter using cream. | Have been successful with change of diet and homeopathic cream. Avoid sugar and coffee. | F | 38 | 1 days | 10/24/2006 | 3 | Yeast Infection | None.It did not clear up all symptoms of my yeast infection. Needed additional OTC treatment, herbs. | It should not be taken once as a cure all or as a preventative med for future yeasts infections. We host the yeast organism natually so yeast could never be eradicated and if the environment is right for this type of fungus it will germinate (grow) in spite of Diflucan. Frequent yeast infections are a sign of a major problem;work on eliminating source of yeast overproduction not symptoms only. Someone asked about the side effects of Diflucan. The side effects of Diflucan are hives, itching, swelling, sudden drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing or swallowing, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. | F | 30 | 1 days | 1/8/2006 | 3 | vaginal yeast infection | none that I could tell | I'm not sure whether to keep taking it - the enclosed pamphlet did not give any direction on this | F | 46 | 1 days | 11/17/2005 | 3 | CHRONIC YEAST INFECTIONS | MILD STOMACH UPSET AND TIREDNESS. | IN THE BEGINNING THIS MED WORK WONDERS, BUT NOW AFTER I AM TAKING IT ON AND OFF FOR 2 YEARS, IT RARELY HELPS. I FIND THE CREAMS NOT WORKING ANYMORE EITHER. I HAVE FOUND SOME RELIEF WITH ZITHROMAX 1200 MG. | F | 27 | 2 years | 4/15/2005 | 3 | Preventative for recurring yeast | none | I am a chronic yeast infectin sufferer. I take Diflucan as a preventative medicine usually 2 times per month...but worry about long term side effects. Does anyone know of any? | F | 39 | 1 years | 2/7/2005 | 4 | Yeast infection | Worse headache, eye pain, whole body ache (mostly back and down legs), weakness | F | 18 | 3 days 150 mg 2X AN | 10/22/2022 | 4 | Yeast infection | Heart palpitations. On the 2nd day severe stomach cramps. They were so bad I was doubled over in pain. Headaches, dizziness, nausea, insomnia, bloating.... | F | 36 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 9/25/2020 | 4 | Possible yeast infection | I took this drug and felt a pins and needles sensation type of itching but nothing big. | If it stops the vaginal and genital itching from a possible yeast infection, then a great drug, 7,3, or even 1 day cream monistat and other generic brands did not work. | F | 43 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 7/9/2020 | 4 | Yeast infection | I've take this medication. Several times over they years. This year everytine I've take. It my tongue swelled & got very sore the last few times then I took 1/2 2!times a day for 2 days. 4 days ago. My tongue swelled & sore then my bottom lip developed a swelling & blister sore 3 days ago now it is raw & bleeding where the sore erupted. I ve never had cold sores before. I thought I had scrapped my lip or burnt it but it is so sore & bleeding now everytine I eat. I just linked it to difluconozole after reading sake of the side effects. It's scary! | I won't be taking it again due to the reactions to it as they get worse with each dose. | F | 54 | 1 days 200mg | 7/7/2016 | 4 | Valley Fever (coccidioidomycosis) | Fainting occasionally for the first week, ongoing itching of whole body (including scalp), peeling skin on arms and legs, dry chapped lips | I will have to remain on this medication foe approx 6 months - 1 year. I am unable to take amphotericin. Diflucan is slowly helping to heal this disease. | F | 6 weeks 600 mg 1X day | 5/20/2016 | 4 | Fungle Meningitis | Dry skin, cracked dry lips, eye lashes falling out. | It has worked well for me & my situation aside from my eye lashes falling out I'm happy with it. I'm currently as of 10-2-15 I take 800mg will hopefully be reduced to 600mg in another month. Will be a life long medication for me. | F | 26 | 4 months 800 | 10/2/2015 | 4 | Jock itch, subcutaneous | Loose stools first day. Severe itching all over body day 2-3. Rash. | It worked. Killed everything | M | 39 | 1 days 150 | 6/12/2015 | 4 | vaginal yeast infection | nausea, stomach pain, vaginal discharge | I had some really really mild nausea and stomach pain, but nothing unbearable. I also had some discharge, which I'm guessing is from the die off of the yeast when the antifungal gets to it. I took one 250 mg pill and then three days later, one more 250 mg pill. It was effective in getting rid of my yeast infection and it has not come back so far. I'd take it again, there were barely any side effects, and the ones I had were very mild. | F | 20 | 250 mg 1X AN | 4/14/2015 | 4 | yeast infection | Major headach, tired, sick to my stomich, cramps, nausea | Has started relieving after about 3 hours, went to bed and woke up with a headach so bad i couldnt even keep my eyes open | F | 25 | 1 days | 3/16/2015 |
