| 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 | 5 | Yeast Infection | Mild Nausea/stomach pain | F | 40 | 1 days 200MG | 1/16/2012 | 2 | chronic yeast infection | tiny flesh colored bumps on my face, by my eyes and neck!! I have taken it before and never got those. Has anyone else got bumps or hives on their face and neck? | F | 23 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 1/9/2012 | 5 | Fungal Meningitis from Valley Fever | Initially my nervous system went crazy, leg shaking all the time, unable to sleep AT all. After two weeks I was able to sleep. The vibrating leg thing has subsided over the year I have been on it. Chapped lips that never get better. Loss of body hair (what woman doesn't want that though) | I have a lot of pain in arms, shoulders, neck but I'm not sure if that is the drug or the disease. | F | 56 | 1 years 600 MG 2X day | 12/19/2011 | 1 | oral thrush | please be wary taking this drug...evil side effects..this took a whole week of my life.originally tried nystatin for the thrush but didnt work so dr put me on this..had to discontinue it after 4 days because of the terrible itching,burning skin and rash but the real side effects started on day 3..exhausted.literally couldnt get out of bed for 5 days...really though i had something really bad,didnt eat..no energy,felt depressed on this med.horrible horrible..didnt even have the energy to reply to my hubby when he spoke to me..ive never cried so much as felt so so ill.like the worst flu ever but so much worse,i hope this dosnent happen to anyone else..wouldnt want anyone to go through this.dr said the drug stays in system and can make you ill for up to 7 to 10 days after you stop taking it.6 days after stopping it the itching and exhaustion eased..on the upside the thrush is gone although it took a while and ive lost nearly a stone.please please be careful with this and if you feel any s | evil nasty medication..please be wary.. | F | 41 | 4 days 50mg 1X day | 12/16/2011 | 2 | Vaginal yeast infection | I was supposed to take the pill once a day for 14 days, but on day 7 I broke out in hives on my abdomen, on day 8 I developed a rash on my face, and on day 9 the sunshine through my car window hurt the skin on my face like a sunburn, and I began to wheeze, so I stopped taking it on day 10 as I put my symptoms down to the diflucan. | I read everyone's comments here, and I can't believe how prevalent the negative side effects are. I will use this site to check on other prescribed drugs before taking them! I pray these symptoms will go away soon,cand I caution others who may think taking it for a longer term will improve their results. | F | 52 | 10 days 100 mg 1X day | 12/10/2011 | 5 | yeast infection | Only some white thick discharge which I'm sure is completly normal. The symptoms of a yeast infection literally dissappear in a couple hours ! This drug is an absolute miracle ! I wish everyone could tolerate it well, cause it really works wonders! And fast and no messy creams ! | F | 25 | 1 days one pill | 12/9/2011 | 1 | Oral Thrush | severe hives, migraines, blurred vision, bruised/itchy skin, swollen glands, blisters on tongue, chapped/peeling/burning lips, burning sensation all over body, unsteady heartbeat, horrible fatigue, feeling unbalanced physically and emotionally, can't even begin to list it all, TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE! | I felt fine when taking my 10 day (twice daily) round of Fluconazole(the generic Diflucan) but the day after I was finished I started feeling as if I was coming down with the flu and developed hives on my stomach and back. I figured I was having an allergic reaction to something in my clothing/in the air/ etc so I took some Benadryl and went to bed. The next day the hives had spread to my legs, tops of my feet, arms, chest and Benedryl didn't seem to be helping. By the next day it had spread up my neck to my face, ears, scalp, and mouth and started to resemble a severe sunburn that itched and burned. My tongue developed blisters and felt like it was burning. My lips were chapped and peeling and chapstick offered no relief. Then the headaches and the tickle feeling/swelling in the back of my throat began. I now have a cough because of the tickle that isn't helped by drinking water or medicine etc. At one point I thought my airway might close up. Now 95% of my body is covered in a burning/itching/bright red rash. Unfortunately, this all started on a weekend and my doctor has been straight booked so I will finally get to see her first thing tomorrow. I'm concerned she is going to brush me off but I know this is from the Diflucan. This is my first and last time taking this medication. I rarely take meds for anything but recently had my wisdom teeth pulled and had to take an antibiotic to keep from getting any infection which caused me to have oral thrush and a vaginal yeast infec | F | 27 | 10 days 200 mg 2X day | 12/6/2011 | 1 | Oral Thrush | Sores inside mouth, tongue and lips. | My problem started with being prescribed Cephalexin to prevent possible infection on a cyst removal in October. Needless to say Cephalexin caused problems with the healing process. I was taken off this drug and the incision healed. In November came down with a sinus infection was put on Amoxicillin, next thing I know I have oral thrush. Dr. puts me on Fluconazole 100 mg for ten days. Developed cold sores, dry lips, sore tongue (ulcers) on tip. Please think twice about any prescribed medicine your Dr. gives you. There all toxins and they can play havoc on your system. | M | 61 | 10 days 100 mg 1X day | 11/27/2011 | 4 | Oral Thrush | Headache and some stomach upset, but I know it's because this drug is hard on the liver. | To the person who recently posted that they have chronic yeast problems... if you take birth control pills, stop because that can make yeast infections keep coming back. Also, if you have amalagam (silver) dental fillings, get them replaced with white fillings because the mercury in the silver ones compromises the immune system. Chronic yeast is always caused by a compromised immune system. I have the same problem. I will be getting my amalagam fillings removed soon. | F | 42 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 11/23/2011 | 2 | Precaution from Antibiotics | In the past this has always worked effectively for me. However, this time, my doctor gave me bactrim and diflucan together. I was to take one when I started the antibiotics and the second when I finished. The first time I took it with the bactrim, My mouth felt tingling and throbbing. I could actually feel my blood pressure in my mouth. I felt pricklyna all over my body including my vaginal area. I kept taking the bactrim but with each dose, I felt shaky and my blood pressure rased so I thought I was allergic to the bactrim. I developed a huge blister on the roof of my mouth which hurt so bad, I could not eat or drink anything. After I stopped taking the bactrim, I forgot to take the last diflucan so, a few days later, I took it and the same thing happened. My mouth throbbed, I developed a blister over the entire roof of my mouth, and now, I cannot eat or drink anything from the pain! It hurts so bad. I will not take either of them again. I think they both caused some kind of reaction. | F | 38 | 1 days 150 1X day | 11/23/2011 | 1 | chronic yeast | It made the yeast rise even more. I have been experiencing it for 3 years and no cure. I have also been experiencing bv from time to time and the yeast won't go away. Sometimes I don't experience it. Could it be possible that I could be immune to diflucan? | F | 29 | 2 days 150 mg 1X day | 11/20/2011 | 1 | Systemic Yeast Infection | Naseau, stomach pain, throbbing stomach | I have been off the medicine now for 2 weeks and I still have the stomach pain and throbbing. From what I hear this medication has a long half life and can stay active in your system for a long time. | F | 57 | 19 days 200 mg 1X day | 11/18/2011 | 3 | Recurrent Yeast Infection | I had 3 or 4 yeast infections in the last 12 months. My doctor gave this to me because the last treatment kit didn't completely get rid of the infection. I took this with my lunch yesterday and felt fine until dinner time. I cooked my dinner and started to eat it. Halfway through I couldn't stand the smell or taste of it. This morning I thought I was going to throw up after just a small sip of my coffee. I broke out in a sweat and felt dizzy. I didn't throw up but my stomach still feels funny. I did have some vaginal itching overnight. | So far it has worked othere than the nausea, slight dizziness, and breaking out in a sweat. | F | 24 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 11/17/2011 | 1 | yeast infection | I recently had a minor surgery and was given antibotics. I incurred a nasty yeast infection from it and called my dr. for the diflucan. I know from taking in the past that it has caused a cold sore, however, my lip starting itching and burning less than an hour after taking the diflucan this time. A few years ago I suffered from recurring yeast infections and couldn't figure out why I was all of a sudden having painful and huge cold sore breakouts. It always appears in the same spot so I thought I caught this cold sore from someone else. I then realized it was from the diflucan and will NEVER take this pill again! | I read all of the other comments and was shocked to see I am not the only one suffering from side effects of this medication. Some miracle pill. I remember the first time I ever took it I had no side effects and it worked great. But, the more I took it, now looking back this is the cause of this cold sore and am very upset that a medicine to "heal" you can cause another medical and embarrassing issue to deal with for weeks! Oh the burning and itching in both my lip and genital area is crazy! I hope others will choose NOT to take this "medicine". | F | 34 | 1 days 1X day | 10/27/2011 |
