Tooth pain-fluoride varnish. | F | 45 | 8 months 400-600 1X day | 1/6/2013 | 5 | fungal meningitis | hoarseness of voice, dizziness, headaches, nausea | Had fungal meningitis twice in my life. First time around, I took Diflucan for 4 years. Second time around, (recently), I have been taking Diflucan for two months, 800mg both times. I am going to be decreasing intake to 400mg, for the rest of my life. | M | 45 | 800mg 1X day | 1/4/2013 | 4 | Yeast infection | None | Diflucan usually does a pretty good job of clearing up a yeast infection. Occasionally the infection won't go away with one pill and I have to repeat a pill 2 days after the first. That almost always knocks it out. I've never had any side effects from the Diflucan. | F | 34 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 12/15/2012 | 2 | Yeast infection | After 2 hrs the sides face were tingly & itchy , went to the pharmacist right away.. Allergic reaction.. Took a Benadryl symptoms subsided.. Woke up through out the night face started burning red blotchy again the next morning.. Went to the dr. She said stay on the Benadryl for 3 days... It has always worked for me in the past.. Tingly face happened a couple of times but not like this. Will not be taking it anymore I'm allergic ... Now what? | F | 48 | 1 days 150 | 10/30/2012 | 3 | oral fungus infection | I was taking one pill a day for 5 days(200mg) for possible oral fungus infection. Experienced dizziness and nausea especially the first day. Also some fatigue and raised heart rate. But the side-effects diminished every day. Also am using a medicated mouthwash. Hopefully I will be cured soon! | Every drug gives you side effects....but this one is not really bad!! | F | 61 | 200 1X O | 10/26/2012 | 4 | Valley Feaver | dizzyness, sweating, tightness in chest and stomach - somewhat similar to the feeling you get after eating a lot of food. | Diflucan definitely helped get the fungus out of my lung. Was diagnosed with pneumonia 2 times over the course of 2 years before it was found that fungus has been growing in there, so the infection was pretty severe. After a month, I had no more pain. Wheezing went away after 2 months. I had no side effects for the first 3 months. During the 4th month, side effects got really bad to the point where I had to wait until I had a few hours after taking it where I could relax under a fan. | M | 26 | 6 months 200 mg 2X day | 9/15/2012 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Severe hives, angioedema (swollen eyes, lips, and forehead), swollen glands, difficulty breathing. | The day after the 1st day of a 2 day dose, I developed a small case of hives that I thought was a food allergy. However, within hours, I intensely broke out into hives, and my face began to swell. I did not take the Diflucan on the second (and the last day of the prescription) because I was taking Benedryl, still unaware of the cause of my hives, but not wanting to mix drugs. I woke up to angioedema, to the point where I could hardly see, my eyes and lips were horribly inflamed and the hives rash was unlike the kinds I get from food allergies. The hives were on my legs, torso, arms, knees, back, and feet. My hands and feet felt swollen (although they looked normal) and I could have sworn that there were hives on my palms and the bottoms of my feet (even though I couldn't clearly see anything). Since the hives were severe, I refrained from hot baths, applied ointment, drank water, and tried to ease the symptoms with Benedryl. The only time I felt good was when I was asleep, but the symptoms would wake me up at times and I struggled to get rid of the burning sensation. After the 4th day, the sweeling in my face subsided, but the hives became aggressive, now covering my forehead, ears, scalp, neck, shoulders, torso, underarms, trunk, buttocks, legs, knees, and the tops of my feet. The rash was also much larger and more painful than the hives I'm used to experiencing. It was then that I realized it wasn't a food allergy (which typically lasts a few hours up to a day | F | 37 | 1 days 200mg 1X day | 7/29/2012 | 1 | vaginal thrush | Had taken it before with no problem. The last 2 times I have suffered horrific side effects. Swelling of the throat, eyes and lips. Day 2-my eyes began to weep yellow fluid constantly as well as being extremely fatigued. Day 3, eyes still weeping, burning pain in genital area, mouth and lips red and sore. Day 4, eyes STILL weeping, cant lift my arms to shoulder height. Day 5, eyes still weeping and getting stabbing pain behind my left eye. Genital blisters. The skin around my mouth looks badly burned and blistered, EXTREME fatigue. Day 6, weeping eyes becoming better, fatigue remains! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!! I would rather have thrush!!"! | F | 43 | 1 days 150mg | 7/15/2012 | 3 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | Took the medicine for 7 days in February, got a nasty cold sore. Took 1, 150mg tablet in early June, no cold sore but it didn't cure the infection. Took another dose of 100mg for 7 days, cold sore again. | Dr said it's "not common" but it sounds like people can develop these symptoms. The last time around they tested me for HIV (I'm thinking, so it's more likely that I have HIV than the medication is causing this?). I was Negative. they want me to test again in 2 weeks. | F | 24 | 7 days 100 mg 1X day | 7/8/2012 | 1 | Yeast infection | I had swollen top lip and it left a dark mark, which everyone notices :( | F | 27 | 2 days 150 | 6/22/2012 | 3 | Chronic yeast infection | None so far but I am only halfway through. | I am not sure this is even working. I don't feel any different. | F | 45 | 30 days 100 1X day | 5/18/2012 | 3 | Yeast Infection | I took Diflucan a few months back and woke up in the middle of the night because the soles of my feet were extremely itchy and my lips were itchy and swollen. Coincidentally, that day I used a new face wash and lip balm, and had my carpets cleaned so I thought it was one of those things that I was reacting to. I had previously taken Diflucan without issue so didn't think twice about it being the cause. My feet were itchy and tingly for days. Fast forward to tonight -- I took another dose to treat a YI (6 months after the first reaction). I am now experiencing itchy lips and have put two and two together and have realized that I have an allergy to this med. I took a Benadryl so hopefully it will prevent the itchy foot reaction. | F | 37 | 1 days 150 MG 1X day | 4/27/2012 | 2 | Yeast infection | Stopped working after the 3rd time I took it. The doctor started doubling up on my prescription to the point I was taking 3. Absolutely ridiculous. It also gives me stomach aches and i believe it doesn't work if your too far into the infection. Never again | F | 19 | 1 days | 3/21/2012 | 3 | Thrush | More tired than usual | I was scared to take it after reading all of the reviews, but other than feeling tired I had no side effects. It took until day 6 before I saw any results | F | 23 | 7 days 150mg 1X day | 3/10/2012 | 1 | Recurring Yeast Infection | Headache, Nausea, Dizziness, Light-headed, High Blood pressure, Elevated Heart rate, Muscle weakness, Fatigue, Chest pain... BEFORE TAKING THIS DRUG BE VERY AWARE OF THE POSSIBLE NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS!!! | I am perfectly healthy and I ended up in the ER from taking this prescription and missed several days of work. It has been 6 days since I took the last pill and I still don't feel normal. I would NEVER take this again. | F | 23 | 4 weeks 150 MG 1X W | 3/9/2012 | 5 | vaginal yeast infection | Within a few hours of taking the first dose I developed these strange little bumps on my face and arms and felt a little lightheaded and breathless. I don't know if it was hives or not but I took an antihistamine and felt better. They have since cleared up. Also, I've had a bad taste in my mouth. Food has tasted a little strange but I'll take that over the awful yeast infection any day! | I had a bad yeast infection and was very uncomfortable with lots if itching and soreness. I had taken Diflucan before so I knew it would alleviate the symptoms quickly with no mess. I was prescribed 2 150 mg pills. I took the first on day one and the second three days later, today. I know my body is still clearing the yeast infection but my symptoms have already dramatically improved. The itching was reduced within a few hours, and each day I have noticed improvement. I was prescribed an external cream for itching but haven't even needed it. | F | 27 | 2 times 150 1X day | 3/1/2012 | 5 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | None at all | F | 18 | 1 days | 2/17/2012 | 1 | Yeast infection | Severe vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headache, chills | F | 36 | 2 days 150 mg | 2/9/2012 |
