| 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 | 1 | Yes | Swollen face, especially lips, sores/rash in all tender spots, lips, vagina, inside nose, ear lobes After 1 does 150 mg for yeast infection | I was glad to find this site, I thought I had cold sores, but it is an allergic reaction to Diflucan. It's happened to me three times before but I did not make the connection. This time, 30 minutes after taking it this started. I just wish I knew what to do for the allergic reaction. Search the internet and all you find are add for pharmacies selling it :( | F | 39 | 1 days | 1/6/2010 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Within 1 hour of taking a single dose pill I was extremely tired and went to bed. About an hour to an hour and a half later I got up to go to the bathroom and fell due to severe weakness on my way back to the bed (less than 10 feet away). I could not get up or move. Just so happened to have cell phone in pocket. Friends had to break into house and ambulance was called. I was completely unresponsive and limp. Vital signs were all stable though. I don't remember anything more than calling my friends. I was released from the hospital in the early morning hours and told to go to my doctor that morning. Passed out again in the doctor's office and once again in the car on the way home. I remained exceedingly tired for 3 full days, and slowly recovered from there. | I have taken this medication multiple other times with no side effects what-so-ever. I don't know why I had this severe reaction this time, but I can promise you I will never take it again. I had no idea that this drug could cause something like this, and I surely never expected to have a severe reaction from a drug I have taken so many times in the past. | F | 37 | 1 days | 12/30/2009 | 2 | yeast infection | sleepy and a severe rash on my chest | i was instructed to take one then another on the third day then another on the third day after that. my rash started 2 days after. it did not seem like anything to pay attention to but it got worse. its been 5 days since my last dose and still have the rash. | F | 21 | 6 days | 12/26/2009 | 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 | 4 | Generic for Diflucan | Was prescribed two pills and told only to take the other one 2-3 days later if still experiencing symptoms. Took the the first pill and hours later, my head was pounding. The next day headache was not nearly as bad, I have some dizziness, and some discharge that happened once on day 2 and once on day 3. I have not taken the second pill and I probably won't now that I know of the other symptoms that can occur. I think if I still have problems, I will just get an otc treatment. Had a slight amount of yeast from taking antibiotics to treat bacterial infection, so I'm not too concerned with taking the second pill. | From the comments I have read it seems that the generic version, which is what I have taken, has less side effects than the actual Diflucan pill. | F | 28 | 1 days | 12/13/2009 | 4 | yeast infection | I experienced fatigue,tachycardia(rapid heart beat),and gastroalgia(stomach/adbominal pain). | I had the yeast infection for about two months and my doctor prescribed diflucan and besides the side effects its worked like a charm =) the smell is gone and there is rarely any discharge.! | F | 18 | 5 days | 11/24/2009 | 2 | Yeast Infection | Horrible rash/hives, burning ears, depression: Gyno prescribed me 14 doses of diflucan due to chronic yeast infection. It was the 3rd time I had to be on the meds during the past year. She wanted to try an aggressive approach. After 6 days I broke out in a really itchy horrible rash/hives all over my body. First my ears, then forearms and wrist, then legs and now stomach and neck. It's been 11 days since I last took diflucan and I still have the rash/hives and yeast infection. | After my bad reaction to the medication, I was placed on steriods but that has not counteracted the med effects yet and I still have the yeast infection. I had tried diflucan in the past but taking it over 8+ times in year I guess was too much for my body. Now I have to battle this rash plus the yeast infection. If I would have known that taking this high of a dose would cause this type of reaction, I would not have taken it. And, my Family doc said there could be some damage to my liver. I suffer from chronic yeast infection and now that I am having a negative reaction to the diflucan, I don't know what else to do. It's really the only pill out there for yeast. creams never work for me. This sucks! | F | 41 | 6 days | 11/16/2009 | 1 | yeast infection | it's been 5 days since I took the one dose/150 mg pill; since then I have had muscle aches, chills, lightheadedness and fatigue; called pharmacist and doctor they said it sounded like flu or a virus rather than a reaction to the drug, however, I had NO symptoms like this until AFTER I took Diflucan | F | 37 | 1 days | 11/11/2009 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Horrible Nightmare! This one time pill drug has ruined over a week of my life more than once! Within 30 minutes of taking it I developed extreme tingling nerve pain and swelling around my mouth. Then a red ring around my mouth. my face blew up and my throat tightened-went to the ER. Treated with prednisone went home. Nerve pain that made me want to commit suicide for 2 days then blistered the outside and inside of my mouth. im on day 9 still recovering and still bleeding. I thought I had a bad case of cold sores no it was Steven Johnsons Syndrome from this pill! | Horrible Nightmare! This one time pill drug has ruined over a week of my life more than once!

I thought I had a bad case of cold sores no it was Steven Johnsons Syndrome from this pill! email me at [email protected] if this has happened to you I am going to sue the hell out of this drugmaker for the damage to my skin this has caused! Don't take this drug! I would rather have a yeast infection for the rest of my life than ever take this pill again! | F | 30 | 1 days | 10/21/2009 | 1 | yeast infection | within a few hours of taking this drug, I started having red and itchy hives popping up on my chest, arms, back and legs..itching was terrible. Use the OTC creams..NOT this drug! | F | 58 | 1 days | 10/9/2009 | 1 | Yeastie Beastie! | Severe migraines, all over body aches, could hardly move. And major nausea, with abdominal pain -- this all developed within 5-6 hours after first pill (and i shall say, my last pill). | This is the first drug I've ever had common side effects with. I just trusted my doc with his 'treatment'. He could of atleast mentioned the nasty side effects of Diflucan. Afterall, and I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about, when it comes to getting a pain reliever or a xanex script, they have everything to say about those! Script says to take every 3 days, -- doc gave me 5 pills, am i supposed to take all those every 3 days, or as symptoms develop? I'm also on an antibiotic drip every 8 hours, since Feb 09 from MSSA infection that developed in my left knee which was totally replaced in 07. The two antibiotics work on their specfics. 'sigh' deb in michigan | F | 52 | 1 times | 9/18/2009 | 4 | nipple thrush | tired, little dizzy, fatigue very sleepy and having trouble getting out of bed in the morning. | I am breastfeeding so I take it before bed and then experience the side effects the next day. As I am taking them every second day I am fine for one day then back to the side effects. this is my 4th lot, the first 3 times I took them for 3 days | F | 34 | 5 days | 8/30/2009 | 2 | recurring yeast infections | no side effects...just not getting rid of yeast infection. i have had them 8 months straight now.....i have been on for 30 days straight. | is there anything i can use? | M | 30 | 30 days | 8/25/2009 | 1 | oral thrush + vaginal yeast | I had no side effects. Was prescribed one pill, then a second pill 3 days later if symptoms not 100% improved. Took the second pill after no improvement whatsoever with the first. | Absolutely no benefit whatsoever! Useless! The doctor subsequently administered a gentian violet treatment of my oral thrush and my vaginal yeast infection, but that, too, proved useless. Next she put me on Nystatin Swish and Swallow for the thrush, and after 10 days on that I am FINALLY seeing the thrush disappearing. Monistat-7 took care of the vaginal yeast infection. Two drugs I will NEVER take again: Flagyl, and fluconazole (Diflucan)! | F | 55 | 6 days | 8/22/2009 | 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 | 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 |
