| 4 | Yeast Infection | F | 29 | 2 days | 12/28/2008 | 5 | Monistat 3 | I can see why some of you ladies would complain about using the applicator to insert the Monistat into your vaginas. Although the applicator is not as smooth as I would have ideally liked it to be, it was not entirely unbearable. All in all, it was NOT painful to use Monistat. | Right before my man walked in the door with the Monistat 3 (sweet guy went to the grocery store to purchase it for me because I was being a baby about the whole yeast infection experience), I started freaking out about using the medication altogether because I was reading about all the negative comments on this site. I think people have a tendency to over-exaggerate and embellish their stories. Please do not let the comments here discourage you or frighten you from a medicine that could potentially help you get relief!!! Try it yourself and form your own conclusions! | F | 23 | 1 days | 12/18/2008 | 5 | yeast infection | mild itching, just a little burning (normal) | I would like for those that used this product and had a horrible reaction to it to understand that there are ppl out there that are allergic to this product. And just because it didnt work for you doesnt mean it wont work for others. If you had read the instructions well it told u to cunsult a doc before using. For the mos part this product is still being sold because it works!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was a first time user and i was very satified. At first was scared to use it because of some comments that were left but consulting my doc and using monistat 3 i was relieved both mentally and physically. | F | 23 | 3 days | 11/9/2008 | 5 | Yeast Infection (antibiotics) | With the first application of the cream, there was a burning sensation, which I see a lot of people have experienced. However, the skin down there is broken, so helloooo, of course it's going to burn! After the first application, I went to sleep. Once I woke up, there was no more burning, itching, or irritation whatsoever. I even put some of the cream on just in case...but that didn't burn the second time. Ladies, please do not be so dramatic and scare people away from a product that works! | F | 21 | 3 days | 11/3/2008 | 4 | Yeast Infection | Horrible itching and burning; it was so bad I thought I was having an allergic reaction, although it did get better after the first night. | All in all, the product worked pretty well; yesterday was my last day taking it, and I think I'm good, so yeah. The only thing is, the medicine seems to be coming back out of me, and I'm not sure that's normal. Has anyone else experienced that? | F | 19 | 3 days | 10/31/2008 | 4 | Yeast Infection | I agree with the other women that after inserting the medication there is a burning and itching sensation. My yeast infection was mild, so the side effects were not as bad. Monistat works, but if you can have your GYN call you in a oral medication, diflucan. My GYN also recommended using 3 day or 7 day for best results. | F | 22 | 3 days | 10/27/2008 | 3 | Yeast infection | Any time I take antibiotics I get a yeast infection. I always get Monistat 3 or the store brand equivalent. Even though I KNOW I'm going to SUFFER. This product does work, I'll give it that, but within minutes of inserting the cream I get the most horrendous uncontrollable torturous ITCHING that does not stop! I just want to shove a piece of sandpaper inside of me to make it stop! This is just AWFUL. WTF don't they sell Diflucan over the counter?! I give this product a 3 because it works, but it is negative one MILLION on the side effects. Absolutely horrible!! | F | 35 | 1 days | 8/12/2008 | 4 | Yeast infection :( | Mild itching after applying. Nothing too bad. | I actually took care of this as soon as I had symptoms. The prefilled cream ones. Night 1 of medication I experienced minor internal itching. It didn't last long. The next morning I was feeling a little better. Not all better though. Night 2 It did not itch. Night 3 is tonight. My symptoms are gone but I will complete the 3 day process. Overall I recommend this product, However If you really didn't catch your infection early on, maybe something stronger should be used. I've had yeast infections in the past and waited a day or two to take care of it and it just got worse. The worse it is the stronger the medication I guess. I've used Monistat 7 in those cases and that usually worked in about 5 days for me. | F | 29 | 3 days | 8/8/2008 | 5 | yeast infection | Some burning, but tolerable when compared to the burning/itching of the actual infection. Also the applicator tube (I got the prefilled tubes, NOT the "pill" suppositoriess) were wide and scraped me on the inside - still bleeding a little from that. | I used the Target brand which is manufactured by Perrigo pharmaceuticals. My only complaint is that the applicator tubes have a rough edge and ended up scraping me on the inside when I applied the internal cream, resulting in some bleeding which is still going on. Next time I will use the "pill" suppositories. | F | 34 | 8 days | 7/28/2008 | 5 | I had a yeast infection | Burning and Itching | When I first took the medicine, i was burning and itching like crazy the morning after. i thought something was wrong so i called the 800 number and they let me know thats the medication working. So i took it for the second day and it was not much itchng, nor for the third day and now its been about 5 days and i am completely cured. The itching and burning was bad but the results are worth it. Trust me, i would recommend this to anyone so long as you know the HORRIBLE itching and burning is okay lol. Just be prepared. any questions you can email me id be glad to help. I'm very satisfied. | F | 19 | 3 days | 7/23/2008 | 5 | Self Diagnosed Yeast Infection | Very little itching, no burning. Nothing any worse than the symptoms of the infection. I had a very little bleeding the morning after but the insert says that you may have that. | When I was in high school I had a very mild yeast infection & don't really remember what I took or how I felt. This is my second one but I caught it at the very start. Before using the first aplication last night I read most of these postings & almost didn't use it because some of the experiences these other women had. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't let it scare you into not using this product. I know everyone reacts to medications differently but talk to your Dr first if you have concerns. Its already working & I'm going to finish the treatment. | F | 23 | 1 days | 6/14/2008 | 5 | Bad Yeast Infection | None besides the slight burning which is normal and quite common, from what I've heard. | I honestly searched up this YI Med before using it and came across this website with all these negative comments towards the med... thankfully I did not freak out, instead I tried it myself and by the first dosage, the irritation/symptoms of a yeast infection went away! I was so relieved because it was horrible... I'm finally done all 3, and extremely satisfied with the results, it's unfortunate that some women did not have any good results because it worked great on me. Didn't have to wait at the doctors office to notify him and get a prescription, than waste double the money for antibiotics. This med is awesome, I'd recommend it to any female with a bad yeast infection since my experience was great...nothing negative at all. | F | 23 | 3 days | 3/28/2008 | 1 | Itching - yeast infection | Intense pain, burning and itching immediately upon use. The external creme made it worse!! I washed off as much as I could but in the morning the burning and pain continue. I will NEVER use nor recommend this product to anyone. Why isn't there a stronger warning of some kind with this product? | F | 57 | | 3/28/2008 | 2 | yeast infection | horrible burning and itching | I actually bought the generic store brand -Equate Miconazole 3- (which had the exact same ingredients as Monistat 3) and after inserting this stuff it caused more burning and itching than imaginable! I'm still not sure if I will take the next two doses or not. I DO want to get rid of this yeast infection! | M | 28 | 1 days | 3/27/2008 | 1 | yeast infection | extreme burning and itching | i had no trouble with nights 1 and 2. on this, my last night, i had to get out of bed, the itching was so bad. its now 1:00 and maybe it is starting to calm down some. I will definitely stick to diflucan from now on. this is ridiculous!!!!! | F | 32 | 3 days | 3/21/2008 | 4 | yeat infection | None really, just a little bit messier than taking a pill orally | I actually got really freaked out by reading some of the comments on the page and contacted my doctor before taking it, she said I should be fine and sure enough, I did not experience the extreme side effects of some of the other users. I actually took Monistat 1. No itching, no pain, no side effects at all. I'm really surprised by some of the extreme side effects of some of the other users. I should note that I did catch it very early and have very mild symptoms so maybe that does have something to do with it, also, I think it's very important to get it in as far as it will go. | F | 25 | 1 days | 3/2/2008 | 5 | Yeast Infection | Slightly burning the morning after the application. | It is my first time having a yeast infection. I did a swab to make sure it is a yeast infection, and still waiting for the result. I knew it was because of the symptoms, especially the itching and burning part. Spoke to the nurse and told me to get Monistat. Not sure which one to pick, so I took the 3 day pill. The first try was great!!! Relieved my itching, but still felt a slight burning. I just had my second pill, and after inserting it, lots of yellowy, smelly thick cream like medication came out gushing...that wasn't pleasing at all. I recommend this product knowing that it does work even for the first day! | F | 26 | 2 days | 2/6/2008 | 5 | yeast infection | mild itching right after the first application | This product worked great for me. after one day i felt relief. make sure you wear a pad during treatment because it will leak a little and use it at bed time to prevent leaking. i am very satisfied with this product | F | 21 | 3 days | 11/19/2007 | 4 | yeast infection | just The white"crap"that wont go away | I think if you catch it at the earlier states you wouldn't have the problems. I used it and I have no problems at all. I googled yeast infection because this is my second one and I wanted to know the warning signs. On the package it says not to use if it's your first time and to call a doctor. I called my doctor and I used it until i could go and he said it was gone but to make 100% sure I got some more antibiotics from him. | F | 25 | 2 days | 11/9/2007 | 4 | yeast infection | slight burning and itching | I have a feeling the generics are worse than the name brand. I just took the 1 dose ovule ( have taken the 3 day before)...had to take it twice as the first time I took it during the day (box says you can) and it fell out in to the toilet when I had a BM! :-) Inserted the ovule WAY up second time (and before bed), used cooling wipes and cream IMMEDIATELY (all came in the package) and aside from some short term itching and buring and of course, leakage of the product (wear a pad) my infection seems to be clearing up. I think the name brand may burn less than the generics. Maybe it is worth the extra few dollars? | M | 44 | 2 days | 10/16/2007 |
