| 5 | Yeast Infection | No Side Effects | This is the greatest yeast infection medication ever. I used to be able to just take one and its gone, but my new doctor prescribes two...One today and another 4 days later to make sure its knocked out. I'm very prone to yeast infections (about 3 a year) and nothing works except this. Very easy and quick. | F | 19 | 2 times 300 mg 1X AN | 3/22/2010 | 5 | Vaginal yeast Infection | No side effects. | I love this medication. I never take traditional yeast infection medications anymore. The only thing I experienced was gradually increasing relief as threatment went on. One dose and the yeast infection clears up and is completely gone after 7 days and relief of symptoms occured within 24 hours. Normal external itching caused by yeast infection was sometimes present, but I used a normal external cream for that. | F | 34 | 1 days 150 1X O | 3/19/2010 | 5 | systemic yeast | I have taken Diflucan over the last 20 years when my system gets out of balance. I have taken maybe 7 doses over that period of time. Each time one 150 to 200mg per incidence. This last time I know how I cause my infection. It which was a sugar benge. I started with a yeast infection on my chest under my breast (never had such). It did not go away with normal antifungal. I told my infectous disease doctor that the anti-fungus lamasil didn't work. He noticed as well it didn't work. After this experience I asked that he give me one dose of diflucan and then I'd do a liver cleanse. For me diflucan seems to be the only drug that "resets" my normal flora when it get's out of control. Like always I have had no major side affects. I do notice the red area on my chest increased after showing but it did not itch. In fact I don't feel any itching at the moment. It's been about 5 hours since I took this one dose. | So I will say although I am aware of the potential side affects I do know that abstaining from sugars -all sugar is one of the major keys to successfully benefiting from this drug. The system really has to have high quality nourishment and it works. After It's done it's work I usually juice for a week after and then use a liver cleanser and I'm good for 2-3 years. I believe the body has to work extra hard to expel the toxins when the diet is poor. Eg fast foods, candy, fried foods and red meat. If you eating whole grain, veggies -steamed along with nuts and deep water fish like tuna, the side effects or minimal to none. Also regulating the sleep for the week after is very beneficial. Eg Sleep at night before midnight and wake in the early morning. I hope this is helpful to others | F | 54 | 1 days 200 1X day | 3/17/2010 | 5 | fungal infection/throat/digesitve | i do have some die off reactions..if i have not cleaned up my diet and have had any sugar.. burning sensation thru body..as well as the blistering on lips..and worsening of fatigue initially however..to me this is just the reaction of the body to the yeast being killed.. i have had to take diflucan off and on..and need to stay on it more long term. i had exposure to toxic mold (stachybotris..indoor..several types as well as to the chemicals used in the house..to get rid of the mold. i reacted and should have totally gotten out of the house forever..but tried to live there for a year or more. my immune system reacts now to chemicals..and things that i eat. i get a lot of inflammation..and get problems on the roof of the mouth as well as the sinuses..if i do not stay on diflucan and eat right. | i wanted to say to any of you who are taking diflucan. it is not going to work for you, if you dont start of first by eliminating all sugar..( i mean all)as well as white breads etc. there is a tremendous response by the body to the effects of the yeast die off. the american diet and lifstyle as well as the chemicals in our environment contriubute to very unhealthy imbalances rt yeast..etc. of course you are going to feel sick..from this medicine if you are not properly prepared.. the book "fatigued to fantastic" gives good tips on easing in to this slowly.. also taking probiotics..(not yogurt)..is advised. there are also natural things that can be added. you have to eat super healthy..but it is worth it..if your problems are severe enough. you also need to chew your food well..or it messes with the digestion of food..and can set you up for leaky gut syndrome etc. (i have had problems chewing b/c of some orthognathic issues) i am not able to chew like i should..so i have to puree things often. the best books out there are "the woman and the yeast connection" and "from fatigued to fantastic". | F | 44 | 100-200mg 1X day | 2/26/2010 | 5 | yeast infection | OMG took it last night, and I dont feel any yeast infection symptoms whatsoever!! It works! | F | 27 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 2/10/2010 | 5 | Candida | I was able to have sex again without pain :) no negative side effects. | My Candida, male yeast infection, had been out of control for years, on my penis and feet, and toe-nail discoloration. I noticed no symptoms three days after taking. This is my miracle drug. | M | 25 | 20 days | 1/6/2010 | 5 | Vaginal & Anal Yeast Infection | Nothing major - bit of white discharge several days after taking pill - assume this was system flushing itself out | This is my second time taking the 1x dose (I took one last year as well for a vaginal yeast infection). I was scared to see all the negative side effects on this site, but I have honestly not experienced anything other than a little extra vaginal discharge after taking the medication (which I assume is my system flushing out the bad stuff!). | F | 41 | 1 days | 10/22/2009 | 5 | Vaginal Yeast | Overall weakness, muscular weakness in legs, fatigue, dizziness when standing up too quickly. | This really has helped my yeast infection after about 36 hours from the 150mg single dose of "fluconazole." It is worth these side effects for me. | F | 64 | 2 days | 8/19/2009 | 5 | fungal infections | none | I have had tinea versicolor, athlete's foot, and fungal infections on my chest for several years. This stuff cured it flat. I had to take a 2nd dose a while after the first but between the two of them I have had no fungal infections for years now. This is the only thing that worked. Lamisil did nothing for me. | M | 35 | 3 times | 7/1/2009 | 5 | Systemic Fungal infection | I have a very rare disease in which I do not produce antibodies. In addition to intravenous antibody treatment I spend a great deal of time on antibiotices which leads to fungal infections. The only side effect is that I am feeling 100% better than I did before I started taking it! | Great drug! | M | 42 | 3 days | 6/3/2009 | 5 | yeast infection | no negative side effects. Positive one include reduced skin rashes and rarely have cold sores any longer. | Typically I need to take 2 pills at 72 hour intervals to knock out the yeast infection. Once it is gone it is such a relief. I have suffered from yeast infections since teen years. Now when I get an antibiotic from the Doctor I request one for the Diflucan. | F | 42 | 9 years | 12/4/2008 | 5 | yeast infection | bad taste in mouth -- mettalic taste | the side effect showed up after the infection went away- it took few days to figure out why the bad taste was there-- thank god for google | F | 42 | 1 days | 9/29/2008 | 5 | yeast infection | none | It worked for me with no side effects. I took it in the afternoon and all symptoms of yeast infection were gone by the time I woke up the next morning. | F | 29 | 1 days | 8/28/2008 | 5 | Anal yeast | None. | I took this a few years ago when I developed overgrowth of yeast in the anal area. UGH!! My doctor had me try OTC stuff like medicated powder and Lotrimin. I also tried something called Proctosol or something like that. I used that for 7 days; it was a anti-itch cortesoid I guess. None of these worked. The Diflucan worked FAST. I felt relief almost right away. The thing I remember most is how expensive it was. $10 per pill, since I paid over $100 for just a 2 week supply. I know there are more expensive meds, but it was the most expensive thing I had ever been prescibed (up until then at least). At that cost, it better have worked! :-) | F | 46 | 2 weeks | 5/25/2008 | 5 | Oral & Esophageal Thrush | A little drowsiness, a little weakness. Not bad | This has proven to be a very helpful medication for me. I've take it twice over the period of one year; 200mg for 5 days the first time, when I had fungal infection in my esophogus. Cleared it immediately after having been very ill for 9 months! I'm on it now, 100 mg for 4 days, just for oral thrush and again it's working well. | F | 66 | 4 days | 4/30/2008 | 5 | recurring vulvar yeast infection | dizziness, more discharge | Nothing was helping me with my yeast infections, so my doctor put me on 1 pill every three days because she said i had a vulvar yeast infection, which is a yeast infection on the skin of the vagina. It worked wonders after trying everything, even previous diflucan pills, but once a week. She said the treatment needed to be stronger and closer together because those types of yeast are harder to get rid of. About two hours after taking the pill i also took acidophilus. now i just take acidophilus everyday to keep me yeast free | F | 22 | 7 days | 4/17/2008 | 5 | Toenail fungus | None noticed | I didn't realize I had toenail fungus for several years, but it was getting progressively worse and the nails were getting thicker and sometimes were painful. A doctor told me thats what I had and prescribed the diflucan. It took 6 months to completely change the toenails, but within a few weeks I noticed a difference. | M | 40 | 6 months | 2/15/2008 | 5 | Yeast infection | Abdominal pain, dizziness, tired, sluggish.....Worked great for the itching. Used in addition to Mycolog cream.... | I had this yeast infection for 2 months so I was desperate to clear it up. The mild side effects were nothing compared to the intense itching. This med finally gave me some relief,,, | F | 33 | 2 days | 9/12/2007 | 5 | Prophylaxis after Endocarditis | Have experienced no side effects. | Taking Diflucan after Colon Fistula, Sepsis, Colon Resection, Endocarditis, ARDS, and Aortic Valve replacement. | M | 63 | 4 years | 8/1/2007 | 5 | Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever) | It's very hard to separate the side effects of Diflucan from the effects of Valley Fever, but having been on and off, I think I can distinguish the two. I'm presently on 600 mg/day, and I'm experiencing peeling lips, a rash and flaking skin on my stomach, thighs, and legs. The first time I was put on Diflucan, the infection was peaking, and the skin on my feet peeled off (moulted?) like a snake skin. The drug is effective, as indicated by blood tests, and the disappearance of some my symptoms. I feel the side effects are more annoying than serious. | M | 59 | 4 months | 2/16/2007 |
