 1  Yeast Infection Felt fine until few hours after taking. Got bad dizzy spell in store, but was luckily holding onto cart or would have fallen. Then, felt flushed, queasy very cold and generally not well. It seemed to dissipate for a bit. I was shaky with chills and felt like had a fever. My body was very weak even in morning unlike anything I've ever experienced. I have taken in past many times and never experienced an issue. I'm feeling better since it's been 24 hrs but still not 100% GP refused to prescribe bc of dangerous side effects with antibiotic, but GYN did prescribe as she said safe. Apparently GP was right! DO NOT take this drug! F 39 1 days

 1  vaginal yeast infection Rash/blister on finger I was prescribed Diflucan for a yeast infection. Soon after taking it, my ring finger started to tingle followed by itching. It then became inflamed and sensitive to touch. I was told that it was cellulitis. I was then put on prednisone, which causes a yeast infection so I had to take ANOTHER dose of Diflucan and the same exact thing happened again to the SAME finger. I explained to the doctor that this is not cellulitis and it has to be an allergic reaction to the Diflucan. I was then told that if that is the case I wouldn't have the same reaction in the same place. Boy was he WRONG! He also told me that all anti fungal medication has the same agents and that there was no substitution. So instead of taking the prednisone to heal my finger...I just had to endure the discomfort which lasts for about a week! I know physicians have a degree but they should pay close attention to their patients for we know our bodies! Diflucan has DEFINITELY changed!! F 41 1 days

 1  Breast fungal infection -eczematous red plaques around eyelids and other areas of face/cheeks/upper chest - patches of dry skin appeared on day 5 of therapy - full blown dry, flaky, inflamed, thickened skin rash on face in shape of butterfly that appeared on day 8 and looked purplish in color - swollen eye lids - skin peeled with fluids I started diflucan 400 mg on 11/21 for breast fungal infection due to pumping and noticed tiny red bumpy rash on my torso and arms, which I thought was my pregnancy rash that's coming back. OB put me on prednisone 6 day dose pack and day 3 of prednisone (day 5 diflucan), I noticed spots of dry patches appearing on my face. I thought it was the original rash, but it flared up 3 days later to covering my entire upper chest and face. I stopped day 6 of prednisone thinking it was reaction to it, but rash still remained and didn't improve. Finally, stopped taking diflucan yesterday 12/4 and I'm seeing a slight improvement in the rash. This was a delayed reaction since prednisone burst suppressed the rash until my dose was low enough that the rash emerged. F 34 2 weeks

 1  Yeast infection About 20 minutes after taking the medication my left palm starts to tingle and get hot. It also gets really itchy for days, when the itchiness goes away it burns and turns into a blister. It's always on the same hand on the same Palm, and follows the same pattern / outline. The skin peels off a couple weeks later and I'm left with new skin underneath that is extremely sensitive to be touched,cold or hot temperaturesauce. It's absolutely miserable F 29 1 days

 1  Thrush caused by antibiotics After a few hours of taking the single 150mg dose fluconazole, just under my bottom lip i felt like it was burning, it was quite red and i noticed tiny clusters of blisters in that spot, then the burning sensation was accompanied by an intense constant itchiness. my cheeks glowed red, and i have been going through dizzy spells on and off, today is my second day after taking the tablet and i feel generally unwell, lack of energy,tired sort of similar to a hang over. I have taken Diflucan a number of times in the past and have never had any form of negative reaction to this medication...have they changed the formula or what's going on there? F 29 1 days

 1  Post op yeast infection This is the 4th time I've gotten red patches that turn to huge blisters on my feet and hands. Also on my vagina.I just realized it was the diflucan because I was taking other meds before. One hour after taking it, I knew because those old spots (yes, I'm scarred on my hand from this)immediately became inflamed. They've given me prednisone and after 4 days I'm still in agony! I've had to miss work in the past for this,and get tested for an auto immune disease, etc...The company should really have to pay for all of these hospital visits. Saddest issue is the medication stays in your system for up to 2 months (per Poison control) and no way to reverse the medication. Not worth the risk! Nothing works for relief. F 41 1 days
