 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 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

 3  Candida muscle weakness, stomach aches, gastronomical issues, extreme hair loss!!!!!, If it wasn't for the extreme hair loss I would never think of discontinuing my use of this drug. I take it so often because it has even helped with my depression. At this point i do feel like I am addicted to this drug thats how good it works for me. At times it can make me feel a little lethargic; but I just feel extremely laid back and calm with no anxiety. Although, after using it for 6 months straight I am experiencing thinning hair and it is devastating . I am now so depressed because Diflucan has been beneficial to me in treating my ailments even colds and apathy; but the hair loss I cannot take. I have even gone to the point now of putting monistat on my scalp hoping that will decrease the shedding because I figure that if I have a history of candida infection then maybe I need to treat the scalp and this will work to combat the hair loss. Now I believe that I am having negative side effects from that, such as headaches and foggy thinking. It seems like I can't win for losing….but if you are planning on taking Diflucan for a short period of time I definitely recommend the drug. It is when you take it for long durations past 2 and 3 months that you will experience the hair loss. It can be such a miracle drug that it cleans your organs and can even help with weight loss; I find it to be an energy booster ; -- I just wish it didn't cause you to lose your hair!!!! ------ F 34 1 years

 1  Yeast infection 10 minutes after taking Diflucan my lips started to tingle and swell, the turned into blisters all over both lips and half way down my chin. I also took Diflucan a little over a month ago for the same reason and the same thing happened to my lips, and my eye also swelled up. I didn't put it together till it happend again this time. I have in the past taken Diflucan with no side effects at all so I don't know why all of a sudden I'm allergic to it. I have also developed a rash/hive under my breasts and have red sore bumps on a few of my fingers and wrists, but I'm not sure of its related to the Diflucan or not. M 32 1 days
