| 3 | Yes | None | F | 33 | 2 days 150 | 6/13/2013 | 2 | I had cold. Weak. Swelen lymph. Noisy stomach.etc | M | 23 | 5 days 200mg | 5/31/2013 | 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 | 1 | yeast | I feel like death walking..i ate a big meal drinked water then cranberry juice .then took the pill lastnight.one pill is all i was given to take.5hour later my heart beat so fast thought i was having heart attack.i had full panic attack my right upper part of my stomach hurted like it was finna pop.the middle of my belly button hurt so bad i was crying.i couldnt sleep.today im barey ate my stomach hurt im tired.and i feel like dog shit and death walkin..is this normal..im scared!!!a headace is slowly creepin i call this pill the vampire itz sucking me dry.. | F | 32 | 1 days 150 | 4/7/2013 | 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 | 4 | Yeast Infection | So far, I just had one day of bad gas. I had stomach pain at the start, and this medication made it go away. Before taking this drug, I had been taking 2,000 mg of caprylic acid daily for a month. I had a bad reaction to that treatment at first--severe diarrhea and vomiting, but it was probably the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction because I got past this after a couple of days. I'm supposed to remain at this diflucan dose for 4 weeks and then get my liver function tested. If all is well, I'm supposed to stay on Diflucan for a total of 6 weeks. I'll be reporting back. | F | 56 | 1 weeks 100 mg 2X day | 3/18/2013 | 1 | YEAST INFECTION | DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, UNABLE TO FUNCTION. EVENTUALLY PANIC ATTACKS FROM THIS DRUG FOR WHICH I AM NOW ON ANOTHER MEDICATION. WILL NEVER TAKE AGAIN | F | 71 | 14 days 150MG 1X day | 2/21/2013 | 5 | Stem cell transplant | Dry lips and mouth | M | 61 | 6 months 400mg 1X day | 2/11/2013 | 5 | Cryptococcus Gatti | nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, muscle weakness, dry itchy skin, dry patches, red bumps, chapped lips, dry eyes, dry nose, dry mouth, bowel shut down, loss of hair (mainly shedding) loss in nape area. Headaches, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, bruising easily, dizziness, fatigue, tooth pain. | Recommendations for side effects: Bowel-try lactulose solution 2 tblsp per day. Cureve lotion helped with dry skin as well as Mometasone furoate cream (use sparingly). Tooth pain-fluoride varnish. | F | 45 | 8 months 400-600 1X day | 1/6/2013 | 5 | fungal meningitis | hoarseness of voice, dizziness, headaches, nausea | Had fungal meningitis twice in my life. First time around, I took Diflucan for 4 years. Second time around, (recently), I have been taking Diflucan for two months, 800mg both times. I am going to be decreasing intake to 400mg, for the rest of my life. | M | 45 | 800mg 1X day | 1/4/2013 | 4 | Yeast infection | None | Diflucan usually does a pretty good job of clearing up a yeast infection. Occasionally the infection won't go away with one pill and I have to repeat a pill 2 days after the first. That almost always knocks it out. I've never had any side effects from the Diflucan. | F | 34 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 12/15/2012 | 2 | Yeast infection | After 2 hrs the sides face were tingly & itchy , went to the pharmacist right away.. Allergic reaction.. Took a Benadryl symptoms subsided.. Woke up through out the night face started burning red blotchy again the next morning.. Went to the dr. She said stay on the Benadryl for 3 days... It has always worked for me in the past.. Tingly face happened a couple of times but not like this. Will not be taking it anymore I'm allergic ... Now what? | F | 48 | 1 days 150 | 10/30/2012 | 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 | 4 | Valley Feaver | dizzyness, sweating, tightness in chest and stomach - somewhat similar to the feeling you get after eating a lot of food. | Diflucan definitely helped get the fungus out of my lung. Was diagnosed with pneumonia 2 times over the course of 2 years before it was found that fungus has been growing in there, so the infection was pretty severe. After a month, I had no more pain. Wheezing went away after 2 months. I had no side effects for the first 3 months. During the 4th month, side effects got really bad to the point where I had to wait until I had a few hours after taking it where I could relax under a fan. | M | 26 | 6 months 200 mg 2X day | 9/15/2012 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Severe hives, angioedema (swollen eyes, lips, and forehead), swollen glands, difficulty breathing. | The day after the 1st day of a 2 day dose, I developed a small case of hives that I thought was a food allergy. However, within hours, I intensely broke out into hives, and my face began to swell. I did not take the Diflucan on the second (and the last day of the prescription) because I was taking Benedryl, still unaware of the cause of my hives, but not wanting to mix drugs. I woke up to angioedema, to the point where I could hardly see, my eyes and lips were horribly inflamed and the hives rash was unlike the kinds I get from food allergies. The hives were on my legs, torso, arms, knees, back, and feet. My hands and feet felt swollen (although they looked normal) and I could have sworn that there were hives on my palms and the bottoms of my feet (even though I couldn't clearly see anything). Since the hives were severe, I refrained from hot baths, applied ointment, drank water, and tried to ease the symptoms with Benedryl. The only time I felt good was when I was asleep, but the symptoms would wake me up at times and I struggled to get rid of the burning sensation. After the 4th day, the sweeling in my face subsided, but the hives became aggressive, now covering my forehead, ears, scalp, neck, shoulders, torso, underarms, trunk, buttocks, legs, knees, and the tops of my feet. The rash was also much larger and more painful than the hives I'm used to experiencing. It was then that I realized it wasn't a food allergy (which typically lasts a few hours up to a day | F | 37 | 1 days 200mg 1X day | 7/29/2012 | 1 | vaginal thrush | Had taken it before with no problem. The last 2 times I have suffered horrific side effects. Swelling of the throat, eyes and lips. Day 2-my eyes began to weep yellow fluid constantly as well as being extremely fatigued. Day 3, eyes still weeping, burning pain in genital area, mouth and lips red and sore. Day 4, eyes STILL weeping, cant lift my arms to shoulder height. Day 5, eyes still weeping and getting stabbing pain behind my left eye. Genital blisters. The skin around my mouth looks badly burned and blistered, EXTREME fatigue. Day 6, weeping eyes becoming better, fatigue remains! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! I would rather have thrush!!"! | F | 43 | 1 days 150mg | 7/15/2012 | 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 | 1 | Yeast infection | I had swollen top lip and it left a dark mark, which everyone notices :( | F | 27 | 2 days 150 | 6/22/2012 | 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 |
