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 | 1 | Vaginal yeast infection | A week ago I took the generic form called Fluconazole and noticed a headache for two days. A week later I took another dose of150 mg which was yesterday and this morning I woke up and couldnt walk a straight line because of severe dizziness. I felt like I was going to vomit. It has lasted all day I feel horrible. | I called my doctor and he said it was so rare to feel like this however after doing my own research I see it is not rare at all. | F | 48 | 1 days 150 mg 1X O | 10/15/2011 | 5 | Yeast Infection | No side effects. | Took one tablet which effectively decreased my yeast infections. Second tablet (4 days later, as prescribed by my doctor) fully healed my infection. I'm not sure why so many people have ill reactions but I had a pretty cut and dry case. Oh, and to the woman complaining that it gave her oral herpes... well, I think we all know the truth about that one. | F | 28 | 2 days 20 1X day | 10/4/2011 | 1 | Candida | terrible rash/purple blisters | Within 45 minutes of taking this my right side would start itching along with my right lower eyelid. Two hours later I developed a terrible rash/blister all over my stomach, back and the back of my neck. | F | 40 | 1 days 100 mg 1X day | 9/20/2011 | 1 | Recurrent Yeast Infection | Nausea, diarrhea, headache, felt horrible, dizziness, fainted, stomach pain - if I stand for any length of time, the dizziness leads to almost fainting | First time to take this and I will never take again. Day 2 of feeling bad with ALL these side effects....how long do these last? I am NOT taking the second pill that came with my Rx. | F | 45 | 1 days 1X day | 9/2/2011 | 5 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | I had no side effects other than some stomach pain and nausea. Nothing too bad. I have used this at least 5 times and it always works. However, this last time I got severe die off symptoms. My doctor recommended I try a cream along side this, but according to many sources online, that would only make it worse. Be aware of Yeast Die Off. I also have regular yeast infections, so this medicine may be why, not sure. | F | 22 | 2 weeks 1X W | 9/1/2011 | 5 | Vaginal yeast infection | Some pronounced and unusual dizziness/fatigue after drinking a glass of wine (avoid alcohol while on this medication) | While on a course of antibiotics I developed some very unpleasant symptoms that, as I found out two weeks later at the doctor, were caused by my first ever vaginal yeast infection (awful experience). I took one 150 mg fluconazole (generic Diflucan) tablet that day; I experienced relief within 24 hours and my symptoms were mostly gone within 5 days. I took another 150 mg tablet 10 days after the first one, and all my symptoms were completely gone within two days of the second tablet. Fluconazole was very effective at getting rid of my yeast infection without me having to deal with OTC creams or suppositories, so overall I'm quite happy with it. | F | 22 | 150 mg 2X M | 9/1/2011 |
