 4  vaginal yeast infection nausea, stomach pain, vaginal discharge I had some really really mild nausea and stomach pain, but nothing unbearable. I also had some discharge, which I'm guessing is from the die off of the yeast when the antifungal gets to it. I took one 250 mg pill and then three days later, one more 250 mg pill. It was effective in getting rid of my yeast infection and it has not come back so far. I'd take it again, there were barely any side effects, and the ones I had were very mild. F 20

 3  Vaginal yeast infection I had taken this in the past and had no problems, it worked great for yeast infections. Took it a year ago before I left for a trip to Mexico. After being out in the sun I would feel like my skin was on fire and like I was going to faint and more but thought I had just caught a bug during the traveling. Tried it again for a pesky vaginal yeast infection. 1 200mg every 48 hours then 1 every week for 6 months. I took one M,W, forgot Friday so I took it Saturday and then Sunday. Felt awful. Nausea like with morning sickness, low sun/heat tolerance, stomach pains, very loose stools at times, dizzy, and rapid heart rate. Went into see my family dr. My heart rate and blood pressure was super high for me along w all the symptoms I had felt on my trip. The only similarity is that I was taking Diflucan then and I'm taking it now. Stopping it and trying Monistat 7 days. I didn't feel any of these symptoms before getting on Diflucan again. It has been so nice to find this website and know that I'm not the only one out there. My obgyn had never heard of anyone having any side effects to it. My family dr was much more reassuring in saying that it definitely could be the med. I'm a healthy female who's in great shape and works out regularly. Hope this review helps someone else! F 35 4 days

 3  yeast infection scalp, back and face are extremely itchy today (one day after last dose) and I did experience a weird moment of mild anxiety that went away. My infection hasn't totally cleared up unfortunately. But am glad to read that my side effect symptoms aren't too serious. After reading the other comments I will try some benadryl for the itching.

 1  vaginal yeast infection Drowsiness, anxiety, trouble breathing, dizziness stuffy nose, nausea. I'm a daily Xanax user. Within 10 minutes of taking Diflucan, I had a panic attack, so I took an additional .25 MG of Xanax to calm down and that made everything worse. After a long night, I found out that there is a severe interaction between Xanax and Diflucan. Since then, I've reduced the amount of Xanax I take, and every time I take it, I get delirious and dizzy. I don't know why my doctor of pharmacist would allow me to take this. It's been 48 hours since I took the Diflucan. Good news is my yeast infection has cleared up, but I will stick with the nasty creams and suppositories for my care now. F 25 1 days

 4  mild vaginal yeast infection Anxiety, fast heart rate, palpitations, felt tired, lethargic, depressed, sleep disruptions, brain fog, short term memory loss, constipation, thirst, some hair shedding, liver area felt tender to touch, sound sensitivity. I've been getting these recurring yeast infections since playing around with a bioidentical estrogen gel. Worked great at killing the infection, but it made me feel like crap halfway into treatment. All I want to do is hide under a rock. My doc gave 3 pills each to be taken 3 days apart. I weigh 112 lbs and have a heart murmur which became worse when taking Diflucan. It also gave me a hypoglycemia type of anxiety. Also, memory problems. I was searching around for my drinking mug, minutes later I realized I was holding it in my hand. I'm hoping it will kill the yeast once and for all. Next I'm going to try out homemade kefir using kefir grains. It has 4-6X more strains of bacteria than store-bought kefir and cheaper too.

 3  Vaginal yeast infection Blisters on roof of mouth, mouth numbness I have had to deal with this reaction many times. I get yeast infections often, and the only thing that cures them is the diflucan/fluconazole. The mouth blisters and numbness are only on the roof of my mouth, and they are an annoying, but go away after a few days. F 30 1 days

 2  yeast infection Stomach pain/cramps, diarrhea, bloating, slight nausea I took one dose of diflucan for a yeast infection over a month ago and experienced a lot of stomach bloating and cramps, as well as a bit of diarrhea. I waited five days without experiencing any relief from symptoms before finally calling my doctor, who advised I try Monistat-7 -- that gave me relief within a few days and completely cleared the infection by the end of the treatment. I just finished a week and a half round of antibiotics and was prescribed three rounds of diflucan to go with them to try to avoid a yeast infection from the antibiotics. Took one pill at the start and one pill for two days in a row at the end; each time I took it I wound up with bloating, stomach pain or cramps and diarrhea. After the two day dose I also felt slightly nauseous and a day after taking the last dose I still have the diarrhea and stomach cramps. I was at the doctor yesterday and they did check for a yeast infection, which I did not have, so it apparently did it's job this time, but with the side effects, I'd almost rather have the yeast infection and go the Monistat-7 route.

 1  Vaginal Thrush Face itchy with a burning skin, break out of hives and swollen lips within 20 minutes of taking. I am now on predisnolone as after three days still have issues with hives that don't seem to be going. I took the Diflucan single dose treatment. I have a vasculitis disease and I will not be happy if this puts me in a flare. My GP was surprised that I purchased this drug OTC. I still have the thrush but now have a presciption for Cannesten cream. I will never take this drug again and it looks like it has a bad history. This drug needs to go back to trials I think, not safe. F 60 1 days

 2  Taking antibiotics Within 15 min my lips felt like they were on fire. Then my lips became swollen and painful. Soon my nose, and eyelids were also red, itchy and swollen. I rather have a yeast infection as a side effect than what I'm experiencing at this moment. I had taken this pill years ago and never had this reaction. Earlier this year the same occurred I just didn't put 2 and 2 together till now. F 31 1 days

 2  yeast infection Takes like 10 days for symptoms to be relieved. After an hour of taking it my lips felt really hot and started burning. The next day my lips were swollen, burning, and itching bad. I had a quarter sized red rash in my palm and my nose swelled and turned red and eventually started to peel.. I looked online and it appears angioedema is a side effect sucks that I may have to go back to yucky creams M 40 1 days
