| 1 | yeast infection | Burning, itching, red raised patches,swelling of the eyes and mouth, pain, and permantly dark spots | F | 22 | 1 days | 1/15/2015 | 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 150 1X day | 1/2/2015 | 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 150 mg | 12/28/2014 | 1 | yeast infection | No side effects but also no improvement. Took the one time pill twice and nothing improved. Went back to docts and was given it again for 100mg once a day for three days and STILL no improvement. Very frustrating. | F | 23 | 5 days 100mg | 12/27/2014 | 5 | vaginal yeast infection | Absolutely no side effects. | I have taken this before and it continues to work like a charm. | F | 17 | 1 days | 12/18/2014 | 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 1X day | 12/11/2014 | 5 | Yeast infection | Experienced diarrhea stomach pain and a little nausea | This is a miracle drug.. noticed relief of burning and itching within hours. Still felt itchy after the third day so took second dose. My only complaint is the nausea but I would take that over a yeast infection any day | F | 41 | 1 days 150 1X day | 11/12/2014 | 4 | Yeast/candida infection | Day 9 & 10 feeling a little nauseated and stomach discomfort, went away on day 11, after finishing meds. Felt really surprisingly good taking Diflucan, even an improvement in my joints, a bonus for me. My energy was ok too and it cleared all the infection. | I am NOT a medicine person, I do all things natural & herb, however after taking antibiotic for strep throat I got this bad candida yeast infection, and struggled with it for months, tried everything!!! I am so happy that I finally gave in and took Diflucan, it has helped me get my life back, a few side effects was expected and the benefits worth it all. I would do it again. | F | 44 | 10 days 200 mg 1X day | 10/29/2014 | 5 | Vaginal Yeast | None! :D | This medication was a BLESSING!!!!! My downstairs was on fire, itching so horribly I couldn't focus on anything. Took it and the symptoms started fading away. Now 2 hours later there is no itching!!!! The only complaint I have about this medicine is that it doesn't seem to completely clear redness - though I have very sensitive skin so for the average user it should work fine. First medication to work properly for me after a disastrous course of antibiotics. | F | 18 | 1 days 150 MG 1X day | 8/27/2014 | 3 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | Took first pill and 24 hours later, my lips were dry and chapped. Took the 2nd pill 3 days later and my lips started to burn and swell. Lips were on fire and nothing I put on them took the pain away. Face started to tingle and burned when I would touch my skin on my chin and right cheek. Developed heartburn as well. | 2 weeks after that last pill, it's slowly getting better but still burning. What kind of nerve damage did this med do to me? I had taken it before without any problems but for some reason, this time I was not so lucky! | M | 52 | 2 days 150 mg 1X day | 8/23/2014 | 1 | Yeast Infection | I have tooking it lots of times and the last 3 time i took it my mouth had sores and blisters on it. I thought my yeast infection had gotten. Out of control so i took it for the 4 time I had the same problem so with the blisters on my feets and hands. And i wasnt like that untill they game that pill i wont be taking it nomore | F | 35 | 4 days 325 | 8/21/2014 | 5 | Systemic Candida, oral thrush | Slight Headache (not migraine), General malaise, diarreah, stomach pain, upper back and neck stiffness, waking up at night, hot flashes and chills | I have been getting migraines everyday where I am incapacitated.(10 yrs) I told I tested positive for connective tissue disease. They put me on meloxicam & I got thrush. I called my rheumatologist who said that it probably was not thrush. I went to urgent care, and they prescribed 2-3 diflucan twice, it didn't work. I then went to the infectious disease specialist who seemed to think I had HIV, so he tested me. It was negative.He prescribed diflucan for 2 weeks. Afterwards, I told him, "The thrush is still there, I can feel it" He said, "No, its not, you are all better now." I told my neurologist I wanted 6-12 weeks of diflucan. He would not prescribe it. I had had thrush for 2 years now. I was taking herbs, Caprylate complex, grapefruit seed extract, even douching with white oak bark tea. I stopped all sugars and breads and rice etc. Still I had thrush. Finally went to my family doc. I showed her the print out from Joseph Teitelbaum's website about treating yeast infections. She agreed to put me on the fluconazole. Within 3 days my migraines were gone! I have not had a migraine since I started fluconazole. My joint and back pain has improved greatly! No side effects the first 2 weeks. For some reason now I am having the chills, etc, I am worried I won't be able to complete the treatment. However, the side effects are NOT as bad as my migraines and joint pain were. I want to make it thru the 6 weeks so I can be sure that the yeast will be gone! BTW | F | 45 | 6 weeks 200 1X day | 6/14/2014 | 1 | Skin rash/fungus. Versicolor | Same day mouth was tingling. Palms itched! 2 days later under tongue broke out in severe sores. This is the second time this has happened so I KNOW it's related to the drug. But it had never happened before. | F | 36 | 1 days | 6/11/2014 | 4 | Had a rash on body. | Taking the full 150 MG had weird side effects but read additional comments. | If you will cut the 150 MG tablet in half and take half in morning and half at evening it works great without known side effects. Otherwise taking the 150 MG at one time it made me have bad thoughts and my level of anger was high. | M | 64 | 7 days 150 1X day | 6/7/2014 | 1 | vaginal yeast infection | i starting itching on my back and then under my arms. Went to dinner and was miserable. Came home took 50 of Benedryl and used a topical cortisone cream and went to bed. I woke up and I have welts on the front and back of my thighs, my buttocks, back, & chest and have just called doctor. I have NEVER experienced this kind of reaction, to a drug, EVER! | F | 63 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 6/2/2014 | 1 | i had some fungal infection on feet | It caused for me to get alot of blisters on my toes, itching, heart rate fast, hallucinations, depression, hysteria. I even ended up with a panic attack. I was so scared that i thought i needed to put on antifungal cream. Even though i actualy didnt have anymore. But blisters keep coming out. | F | 23 | 1 weeks 200mg | 5/14/2014 | 1 | Yeast infection | Swelling of lips, chills, hives / rash all over body with severe itching that has lasted 48 hours now. | F | 41 | 1 days 150 mg | 5/13/2014 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Swelling of lips. Numbness & tingling of lips, chin, nose and around eyes. Difficulty swallowing. | I have taken this before with no problems. Now I have all these side effects and I still have the yeast infection. | F | 40 | 2 days 150mg 1X day | 5/10/2014 | 1 | Yeast Infection | In 3 days I had a rash and itching on my arms. Two days later my whole body, except my face, was covered in hives. that itched terribly. I saw a Dermatologist. | It was determined I'd had a severe reaction to the Diflucan and was put on reduced doses of Prednisone. 4 10 mg. for 4 days, 3 10 mg. for 4 days, 2 10 mg. for 4 days and 1 mg for 4 days. I'm only half way thru this. I see the Dermatologist again in two days. The rash has subsided somewhat but the itching and peeling skin is awful. I have never been so uncomfortable in my life !! I will never take Diflucan again! | F | 77 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 4/20/2014 | 3 | Vaginal yeast infection | I wasn't experiencing any external symptoms of a yeast infection but my GYN said I had a lot of yeast intravaginally. I felt better before I took the Diflucan. It is interesting to note that other people I've talked to personally had no problems with it, but a lot of people writing reviews had similar side effects as me. | F | 33 | 1 days 150 1X day | 4/16/2014 |
