| 1 | Yeast Infection | Intense itching and burning so severe I couldn't sleep and got up to do some research. After an hour, the discomfort is beginning to lessen. | I have used other products before without side effects. This is the first time I have used Monistat 3 and the burning was so bad, I thought I must be having an allergic reaction. I was relieved to read that this is a common side effect but disgusted that it is still on the market. With other effective products available, I wouldn't recommend Monistat 3 to anyone. | F | 53 | 1 days | 11/1/2009 | 1 | Yeast Infection during pregnancy | I used my first does of the 3-day regiment and I have NEVER been in more pain down there! The burning and itching was MUCH worst after the application of the medication. I would not recommend using this product if you have a fear of feeling like your vagina is on fire... inside and out. I curled up in bed and was afraid to move for fear the burning and itching would get even worse. I could stand about 8-9 minutes before I rushed into the bathtub to rinse the medication off. I will not use this product again. | F | 31 | 1 days | 10/26/2009 | 1 | yeast infection | Very strong burning and itching, feel like I am on fire | I am sure I used this medication years ago for yeast infections but did not have this kind of reaction. I had surgery last week and they gave me antibiotics, and it seems I came down with a YI - at least that was what the nurse said on examination. She recommended fluconazole (which I took) and monistat applied externally to my inflamed vulva (the vagina is not involved, for some reason). The result was almost immediate intense burning. I am sitting with an ice pack down there now! I think I will try to wash this off, I sure didn't anticipate making it worse, I wanted some relief! | F | 58 | 1 days | 10/20/2009 | 4 | YI | I put on the exterior cream that comes with the Monistat 3 Pack and that really burned. I was afraid to do the insert after reading all of these comments since it's basically the same ingredient as the cream, but went ahead and did it and had NO PROBLEMS! In fact, My symptoms are already much better after the first application. Will definitely do the 2nd and 3rd. | If the external cream itches/burns, wash it off. What works much better is Vagisil, Maximum Strength. It relieved all of my exterior itching. | F | 36 | 1 days | 10/19/2009 | 1 | antibiotic side effect | awful itching and burning, can't stand it | should be labeled take if you want discomfort | F | 45 | 1 days | 10/14/2009 | 4 | yeast infection | This medicine helped, but it's the morning of Day 4 and I'm not cured yet. I used the ovule inserts. Much easier and less mess than the cream. I am still having some external itching but it is nowhere near as bad as it would be. I guess I'll have to get another pack. | F | 24 | 3 days | 10/1/2009 | 4 | I started my treatment of the Monistat 3 Inserts with the External Creme. Last night it was really hard to get my mind off the itching and burning, because it was very bad, like jump out of my skin bad. I had to take some Tylenol Pm's to go to sleep finally. But I woke up this morning with very little discomfort. Although when I did use the restroom the creme came out too. I'm not sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. I also used the External Creme this morning before leaving for work and I have had almost no itching or burning all day. So far good, we'll just see how tonight goes, I'll take PM's before so I'll be more relaxed and won't notice the itching and burning part. Good luck with your uses. | F | 18 | 1 days | 9/24/2009 | 3 | yeast infect | Wow and I thought the infections made it burn and itch. The medicine tripled the itch and burn after it is first inserted. The intense itching last about an hour after I first inserted the cream and then started calming down and I could fall asleep.I still have one more application and I am scared. I would probably not use this again. | F | 2 days | 9/14/2009 | 5 | yeast infection | F | 29 | 3 days | 9/5/2009 | 4 | yeast infection | I am prone to yeast infections after taking an antibiotic. I tried the one day before and I did end up with intense burning after inserting it. I have decided this time to try a lower dose and go with the 3 day. I took my first dose about 40 min ago and no problems yet. I believe I caught it pretty early this time and didn't itch myself raw before treating it. I think when it is irritated enough and there is broken skin it makes the burning of putting on a product much more worse. It will cause stinging and burning. I agree also with the lady who mentions tric which is another infection that can cause itching and will NOT go away using any yeast infection product. You will need to go see a doctor to get you on some antibiotic to cure it. | On day one and so far so good. Much better than the 1 day for me. | F | 31 | 1 days | 9/2/2009 | 2 | yeast infection | ITCHING! | If you thought the itching because of the yeast infection was bad, just wait until you get the itching because of the medicine! Seriously, it's the middle of the day (day 2) and I'm sitting here itching myself like crazy and it won't go away. The cream doesn't do a damn thing! I'm sticking with the 7 day! | F | 20 | 2 days | 8/27/2009 | 4 | Yeast Infection | Just took the monistate 3 ovule a few hrs ago, and unlike the other cream stuff i used to use, i do not feel any horrible burning or itching with this ovule like i did with the cream. | I think this will work. I used to use the cream version and everytime i did it would burn sooo bad i couldnt sit still i had to do something to take my mind off it. I think mild burning, however, from any medicine for yeast infections is perfectly normal. But as i was saying, the monistat 3 ovule is good for me, no itching, burning at all, and it is a lot more comfortable to insert than using the cream tubes. | F | 21 | 1 days | 8/23/2009 | 4 | yeast infection | I had a really good experience with this product. | I was quite reluctant to use Monistat 3 after reading all of the past reviews, but I was quite pleased with the results. I didn't experience any burning or itching after using it and the infection cleared up quickly. | F | 18 | 3 days | 8/16/2009 | 2 | Yeast Infection | Intensed burning and inflamation. | This was my first experience with Monistat 3; I normally use Monistat 7 without any problems so I was extremely surprised and disappointed when I started having the side effects. Seconds after I inserted the medicine I felt extreme burning instead of relief. My whole vaginal area became inflamed and irritated. An ice pack gave me temporary relief, but I still could sleep until I got in the shower and used the showerhead with hot water to thoroughly rinse the area. After that I was able to sleep without the irritation. I had mild burning when I awakened. I will not be using the rest of this medicine, I would not recommend it to anyone, nor will I ever buy it again. | F | 36 | 2 days | 8/2/2009 | 5 | The last time, Monistat 1 | Ladies, there is another itching problem that happens to us women and that is trichomonas. If Monistat doesn't heip you, ask your doctor to recheck you for that. Believe me, I'm 76, and I've probably had both of these infections more times than you are old. They are a plague for women. I've had to take a lot of antibiotics over the years and each time I end up with the yeast infection. In fact, I am going to have to get some Monistat this week because I am on amoxicillin right now. God bless all of you and get well soon. | Monistat 3 worked for me without any reactions. | F | 76 | 3 days | 7/14/2009 | 3 | Yeast Infection | I suffered a lot of discomfort, burning, itching. It was terrible. | I used monistat3 right before going to bed. Right away I suffered a lot of itching and pain, worst than regular monthly camping. It was really bad. I don't think I will use it again. | F | 26 | 3 days | 7/5/2009 | 3 | yeast infection | burning | this is my 1st time using it and its day one, after inserting it i felt this incredible burning, it hurt soo much i couldnt sit for a long time, i couldnt fall asleep, but i did take a hot towel and put it between my legs it helped soothe the burning so i was able to sleep | F | 17 | 1 days | 7/4/2009 | 2 | yeast infection | about 20 seconds after i used first application i got extreme itching. its five minutes later and still going. what is going on? | i was worried but i see other people experienced this too so im not as worried. just dont know what to do about the itching the anti itching stuff isnt working either. | F | 17 | 1 days | 6/30/2009 | 4 | yeast infection from antibiotics | The first night, somewhat relief. The second night, intense itching and burning woke me from my sleep. I took some advil, put some cream on, and went back to bed. I'm on my third night, and I look forward to using it to see the results in the morning. I was glad to hear that it is the medicine that causes the itching. I almost thought that I needed to go to the doctor. Things are feeling better, so I would certainly advise you to just suck it up, and follow through. | F | 34 | 2 days | 6/20/2009 | 3 | yeast infection | burning and intense itching upon use | this sucks | F | 26 | 2 days | 6/13/2009 |
