| 1 | Yeast Infection | Itching, burning, extreme discomfort | I started taking this on day 1 of my infection (what I consider day 1, right when I noticed the symptoms) I had my hubby go get me something that would help quick because it was Thanksgiving and everywhere was closed. I used the topical cream first and there was a little bit more itching and burning than was there originally but it subsided quickly, used the internal dose and it was fine. The next day I used the topical just like it recommends and the same thing, slightly more discomfort then fine, the night dose was intense but only lasted for 10 minutes with itching, burning, and a throbbing sensation, 3rd night was horrible!!! felt like I was sitting on a candle and nothing helped. I will not use this product again and will not recommend it to anyone I know!!! | F | 25 | 3 days 200 1X day | 11/28/2010 | 3 | yeast infection | This was the first time I have used Monistat 3 cream and I will never use it again. I have not had any issues at night when I insert the cream and I have not used the external cream at all. After the second treatment I felt the burning and itching the following morning. And the morning and afternoon after the third treatment was unbearable. I felt that my parts were on fire….it was so painful I couldn’t even sit down for long periods of time. | F | 34 | 3 days 200 1X day | 11/19/2010 | 1 | I have not took this medication yet | F | 14 | 0 days 0 1X day | 10/24/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | I used the generic version of monistat 3 and have experienced terrible side effects such as extreme itching and burning. The first night I thought it was possibly related to the yeast infection itself even though the infection itself only bothered me slightly during the day. The itching and burning was unbearable. I got out of bed and used the bidet for 20 minutes or so the first night and that helped. The second night nothing seemed to alleviate the itching. I had a very difficult time falling asleep and was so upset to wake up this morning still burning and itching. Maybe the ovules are better for me than the cream......... | F | 49 | 2 days 30 mg 1X day | 10/23/2010 | 5 | I had very mild discomfort, I guess you could call it burning, for a very short time, like minutes. Then I went to bed and slept fine and woke up today feeling like the infection's almost gone! For the first time my own urine did not sting my private. I'm very excited! | F | 31 | 1X day | 10/20/2010 | 1 | I can relate to most comments on here. It is middle of night and same horrible burning, irritation that most are complaining about. This is truly the worst feeling to go through. I researched other home remedies and found that inserting a clove of garlic into vagina has worked magic. The burning has subsided tremendously. | F | 29 | 2 days 1X day | 10/12/2010 | 4 | Yeast Infection | Crazy burning and itching! | The first night I used this product about 5 minutes after I got into bed I started itching like crazy! I just tossed and turned all night hoping that it would go away! The external cream made me burn worse then the actual yeast infection. Then the second night I decided not to use the external cream and I still itched like crazy. Tossed and turned all night and then when I woke up it started to itch again! Only got better after I put a cold, tucks wipe on a pantyliner to cool everything down! I don't think I'm going to do the third night. This is crazy! :( | F | 38 | 2 days 200 1X day | 10/2/2010 | 5 | minor yeast infection | I WAS PETRIFIED after i read the ratings, and had already taken my first dosage! However, I believe that a lot of the infections being treated were applied to broken skin because of itching. My skin was not broken,as i caught the infection after the second day, and started Monistat 3 immediately. The external cream was awesome! I sincerely believe that some of the ladies waited until they were 4-5 days into the infection, before they treated it. Anyway, the product is awesome, and I would definitely use it again!!! | F | 52 | 3 times 1X day | 9/29/2010 | 2 | yes | External creme made it worse immediately, suppository may have help infection BUT extreme burning/itching/pain | This was my first time using monistat 3, the first day burned a little but i accidentally took it during the day instead of at night and i think thats why it wasnt so bad.The second day that i took it i did it right before bed an in less then 5 mins i was in a mad rush to flush my vag of any of the creme inside,def would rather shove a gallon of yogurt in my vag for a day then ever do that again.THE CREME was the worst, as soon as i put it on my vag hurt even worse then it did before an i gave it like 20 mins before i was fed up with that too. | F | 19 | 2 days 200mg 1X day | 9/29/2010 | 1 | yeat infection | WOW. The cream ITCHED like crazy!! I had to rub, scratch and wiggle to relieve the itching. Next, I tried to apply an icepack to no avail. My only solution was to take a warm bath and wash myself throughly to remove the cream. After, that I was A-OKAY. I do not recommend that anyone use MICO-3!! I will stick to the AZO and Probiotics....plain yogurt inserted works wonders. Oh how I wish I would have used the yogurt first!! GOOD LUCK...... | F | 29 | 3 days 1X day | 9/18/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | Incredible burning and itching, internally and externally | The first night I used this I didn't notice problems until about 2 hours after application, then I had horrible itching, worse than I had had with just the yeast infection. It took me hours to go to sleep, after taking a nighttime excedrin to combat the pain and putting an ice pack between my legs. Tonight within minutes of applying the 2nd dose I had horrible burning and itching. I tried to tolerate it for about 10 minutes, and then I did my best to wash it off. I am still burning, and I will NOT take the 3rd dose. | F | 34 | 2 days 1X day | 9/9/2010 | 4 | Yeast Infection/Irritation | Mild Burning and Itching | First Off everyone has different bodies and reacts differently to drugs so we cant all rely on each others words about this medication, but we know what we COULD expect from using it. I did experience some mild itching and burning on the outside after applying the external cream, but no problems with the internal cream. I woke up with less itching than the day before. I think of the burning experience as the medication working, and getting rid of the yeast infection.... i mean sometimes when people are prescribed antibiotics they may vomit or feel and upset stomach... not all medicines are pleasant but they just may be strong. Just suck it up and if it works then it was worth the pain. I have used monistat before, experienced the same symptoms while using it, but its all worth it in the end when my YI is gone. | F | 23 | 3 days 1 insert 1X day | 8/25/2010 | 2 | mild yeast infection | So I think I put it in wrong, and it slipped and got all over the outside. And as soon as it touched it just started burning. And I tried to wipe it off, but it hurts even more now. When will this go away? I can't sleep it hurts so bad. I wish I hadn't have taken anything. The mild itch wasn't that bad to begin with. But I sure am glad I found this website. There wasn't any warning or anything on the box that this might happen. I read all over this. I had no idea what to do. | F | 18 | 1X day | 8/19/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | OMG ! THE PAIN WAS HORRIBLE. I FELT LIKE MY INSIDES WERE BURNING. LIKE I WAS ON FIRE. I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD THAT I COULDN'T EVEN WATCH. I HAD TO SIT UNDER A FAN WITH MYFACE DIRECTLY INTO IT. I PRAYED AND PRAYED AND ABOUT 2HRS AFTER INSERTING IT I FINALLY COOLED DOWN ENOUGH TO TALK ON THE PHONE.. ONCE I FINISH THIS I WILL GO TO 5O DOCTORS BEFORE I MESS WITH THAT CRAP AGAIN.THE INFECTION ITSELF DIDN'T FEEL THAT BAD. I WILL DEFINAETLY GET MY DIABETES UNDER CONTROL NOW I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS DRAMA AGAIN. WHATS IN IT ACID??? | F | 33 | 3 days 1 ovule 1X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | Extreme burning and itching. I cannot go to sleep it hurts so bad! | F | 51 | 1 days 1X day | 8/15/2010 | 4 | Yeast Infection | Mild to moderate cramping, the itch relief cream caused some burning. | I did not experience any of the horrible symptoms many people described when using Monistat. I had a little painful cramping during the night and the next morning. Also, when I used the included itch relief cream, it caused my skin to burn a bit, but not an extreme amount. Now I just have to see if it heals me completely! | F | 19 | 3 days 3X W | 8/11/2010 | 1 | Monistat 1 | OMG!!! The burning is so bad, about 5 mins after I started treatment the burning and itching started...I feel like I'm on fire. I even sat in a tub of cold water and still felt like I was on fire. The external cream was making it feel worse so I wiped it off. I took some pain pills and now I'm waiting and hoping that they will help with the pain. I will never use this product again. There has to be something else out there. The treatment is more painful then the infection. I don't think I'm going to be able to work in the morning, it's already 5:56 am now. | F | 28 | 1 days 1X day | 7/31/2010 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Most intense burning sensation imaginable | The second I inserted the medicine I instantly had the most excruciating itching/burning ever. It only been ten minutes and it has made me want to just die! It is so painful. I have taken monistat before with no problems. I don't know if I can continue the treatment but YI's are the most dreadful things on the planet and I want it to go away! | F | 19 | 1 days 1X day | 7/27/2010 | 4 | Yeast infection | Bleeding in between period | Reading all this stuff scared me! But luckily i havent experienced the extreme pain or burning that everyone else has. This is my first time trying it (normally i go to my gyno and get diflucan...im a diabetic-used to multiple yeast infections) and so far i like it. Taking it with probiotics and oregano oil...seeing if this cream speeds up the process though! So far its working, very pleased. | F | 18 | 3 days 3X W | 7/23/2010 | 2 | Yeast infection | Burning!! | I had to search online for side effects bacause the burning is rediculous! It feels like burning...fire burning! It's bitter sweet knowing I'm not alone. | F | 26 | 1 days 30 mg 1X day | 7/9/2010 |
