| 3 | Yeast infection | Severe dizziness, nausea, near vomitting, stomach pain, headache | I took this pill yesterday and a little over an hour later I thought I was going to lose my lunch. I got severely dizzy (I'm still dizzy today) and sick to my stomach. I got home from work at 3pm and had to immediately lay down. I slept until 7pm and still felt bad. I was hoping this morning I would feel better, but no such luck! It's taking all I have to get my job done. I don't know if I would recommend this medication. I honestly don't even think it's helped my yeast infection. | F | 31 | 1 days 1 pill 1X AN | 5/9/2010 | 5 | penile yeast infection | NO SIDE EFFECTS EXPERIENCED! This drug saved me. | Took diflucan for a penile yeast infection. There have been very few times that I've been as miserable as when the infection was at it's strongest: sharp burning pain while peeing and from affected areas. Ouch. The first dose didn't do the trick. Took another 150mg pill on day three and finally things started to get better. Before this I put topical anti-yeast medication which did nothing except make the irritation worse. I am very anti-Western medicine but this drug really made a huge difference. | M | 38 | 3 days 1X day | 5/6/2010 | 3 | Yeast Infection | I came to this website because after 30 minutes of taking Diflucan (generic) I started getting icthy lips. This happened about two months ago, when I took it for urinary infection (prescribed for 3 days). At that moment I thought that the itching and posterior blistering of my lips was because of fever, or stress. I know realize that the blistering and itching was caused by the Diflucan. I rather use a cream for the yeast infection instead of getting these blisters. I will not use again. | Now, as I write this. I am also getting a headache. I feel like taking a Benadryl to counter the effect of the allergic reaction, but I can not find any comments or contraindications that this can be done. | M | 47 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 5/4/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | Dizziness,nausea,arrythmia, vaginal swelling and burning. Now 5 days past taking pill and still have symptoms. Yeast infection may be gone but it feels like my vagina has been burnd Wold not attempt to have sex in this condition. Would never take this medication again. | F | 69 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 4/15/2010 | 2 | Vaginal Problem | My migraines increased severely. Within an 1 hour I couldn't see, hear, or think. It took away the order, but I would have rather used something else. | I would not recommend taking this pill if you have migraines! You will suffer greatly! | F | 17 | 2 days 100 1X day | 4/7/2010 | 1 | Yeast Infection | I developed red peeling spots all over my head, which burned on the back of my neck. My lips started peeling. I developed more spots on glandular areas, and then on my face. Miserable! And it didn't even get rid of my yeast infection. Total wash-out. | F | 40 | 1 times 150 MG 1X AN | 4/5/2010 | 5 | Yeast Infection | No Side Effects | This is the greatest yeast infection medication ever. I used to be able to just take one and its gone, but my new doctor prescribes two...One today and another 4 days later to make sure its knocked out. I'm very prone to yeast infections (about 3 a year) and nothing works except this. Very easy and quick. | F | 19 | 2 times 300 mg 1X AN | 3/22/2010 | 5 | Vaginal yeast Infection | No side effects. | I love this medication. I never take traditional yeast infection medications anymore. The only thing I experienced was gradually increasing relief as threatment went on. One dose and the yeast infection clears up and is completely gone after 7 days and relief of symptoms occured within 24 hours. Normal external itching caused by yeast infection was sometimes present, but I used a normal external cream for that. | F | 34 | 1 days 150 1X O | 3/19/2010 | 5 | systemic yeast | I have taken Diflucan over the last 20 years when my system gets out of balance. I have taken maybe 7 doses over that period of time. Each time one 150 to 200mg per incidence. This last time I know how I cause my infection. It which was a sugar benge. I started with a yeast infection on my chest under my breast (never had such). It did not go away with normal antifungal. I told my infectous disease doctor that the anti-fungus lamasil didn't work. He noticed as well it didn't work. After this experience I asked that he give me one dose of diflucan and then I'd do a liver cleanse. For me diflucan seems to be the only drug that "resets" my normal flora when it get's out of control. Like always I have had no major side affects. I do notice the red area on my chest increased after showing but it did not itch. In fact I don't feel any itching at the moment. It's been about 5 hours since I took this one dose. | So I will say although I am aware of the potential side affects I do know that abstaining from sugars -all sugar is one of the major keys to successfully benefiting from this drug. The system really has to have high quality nourishment and it works. After It's done it's work I usually juice for a week after and then use a liver cleanser and I'm good for 2-3 years. I believe the body has to work extra hard to expel the toxins when the diet is poor. Eg fast foods, candy, fried foods and red meat. If you eating whole grain, veggies -steamed along with nuts and deep water fish like tuna, the side effects or minimal to none. Also regulating the sleep for the week after is very beneficial. Eg Sleep at night before midnight and wake in the early morning. I hope this is helpful to others | F | 54 | 1 days 200 1X day | 3/17/2010 | 1 | possible yeast infection | the first pill I took: for one week had soar pinching feeling near liver. 2 days later burning sensation developed in the rectum and bladder. From there on developed Bad gnawing/burning sensation in my bladder couple days before each menstruation. 2nd pill 2months later: no pain near the liver but bladder pain became daily instead of couple days each month. | Went to Gyno for STI, did a wet mount and she said yeast, I tested negative for std's. Monistat made the sti worse..so I'm thinking it wasn't yeast, but took Diflucan shortly after Monistat failed. I didn't have bladder pain before I took Diflucan, but one day after I took it my bladder started having pain and this has been going on almost 5 months!! Then I got yeast culture done and was negative/bacteria in urine and signs of UTI were negative, but gyno kept trying to get me to take more Diflucan. I took 2nd Diflucan pill & it made the bladder pain daily instead of couple days each month. I've talked to a few others who have experienced the same.. Diflucan causing IC. For some ppl diflucan helps but I think it is possible for it to cause chronic IC. I've never had bladder problems in my life until now. The pain is interferes with my daily life. I think Diflucan can be a cause of IC needs to be researched more in this aspect. | F | 30 | 1 days 1X day | 3/9/2010 | 5 | fungal infection/throat/digesitve | i do have some die off reactions..if i have not cleaned up my diet and have had any sugar.. burning sensation thru body..as well as the blistering on lips..and worsening of fatigue initially however..to me this is just the reaction of the body to the yeast being killed.. i have had to take diflucan off and on..and need to stay on it more long term. i had exposure to toxic mold (stachybotris..indoor..several types as well as to the chemicals used in the house..to get rid of the mold. i reacted and should have totally gotten out of the house forever..but tried to live there for a year or more. my immune system reacts now to chemicals..and things that i eat. i get a lot of inflammation..and get problems on the roof of the mouth as well as the sinuses..if i do not stay on diflucan and eat right. | i wanted to say to any of you who are taking diflucan. it is not going to work for you, if you dont start of first by eliminating all sugar..( i mean all)as well as white breads etc. there is a tremendous response by the body to the effects of the yeast die off. the american diet and lifstyle as well as the chemicals in our environment contriubute to very unhealthy imbalances rt yeast..etc. of course you are going to feel sick..from this medicine if you are not properly prepared.. the book "fatigued to fantastic" gives good tips on easing in to this slowly.. also taking probiotics..(not yogurt)..is advised. there are also natural things that can be added. you have to eat super healthy..but it is worth it..if your problems are severe enough. you also need to chew your food well..or it messes with the digestion of food..and can set you up for leaky gut syndrome etc. (i have had problems chewing b/c of some orthognathic issues) i am not able to chew like i should..so i have to puree things often. the best books out there are "the woman and the yeast connection" and "from fatigued to fantastic". | F | 44 | 100-200mg 1X day | 2/26/2010 | 4 | Ha | I was researching this medicine before I took it and came across a very helpful site. The name of the site is strange, but trust me, tons of great info on dif types of yeast infections and dif ways to cure them from Rx to home remedy. I had no idea that diet plays such a huge role in getting rid of an infection. But it makes sense now that I think about it. This site explains it thoroughly, but basically yeast feeds on carbs and sugars. So if you are having a problem with reoccurring infections, I would def try this diet. | Hope this helps someone ;-) | F | 28 | 0 days 150MG 1X O | 2/16/2010 | 5 | yeast infection | OMG took it last night, and I dont feel any yeast infection symptoms whatsoever!! It works! | F | 27 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 2/10/2010 | 1 | vaginal thrush | Nerve type pin pricking pain around eyelashes, on face, lips and all over scalp and inside my ears and nose, and on arms,and itching in mouth. Burning in mouth. Liver pain. Passing out, loss of balance, fevers. Huge hives type rashes in thick lines on buttock, inside elbow and under arms towards back. Still like it two days after taking one tablet. | Please do not take this. I intend to take a good quality lactobacillus capsule internally daily for a few days to make sure this is gone and to go back to having a daily supplement and a live yoghurt every day. I stopped doing this last week and as I have no spleen and am getting older, believe this is why I got the thrush so quick. | F | 49 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 2/7/2010 | 3 | Yeast Infection | Headache, Dizziness, extreme abdominal pain/bloating, aches all over, unable to focus, fatique. | Ive taken this 4 times, and the side effects get worse every time. I guess its not the best med to get rid of yeast infection for good, but it does help after about a week of feeling side effects. | F | 19 | 1 days | 1/30/2010 | 4 | Valley Fever | In the first two weeks I had trouble sleeping, a very low appetitite and had fast spiky fevers, like hot flashes. My lips blistered and peeled. After that I was fine. It wasn't really as bad as it sounds, just annoying. All medications have their side effects and I need to take this long term. It's been three weeks now and I am starting to get a little relief from the Valley Fever, coughing less and breathing a bit easier. | May have to take this drug 6 months to a year, depending on results. | F | 52 | 3 months | 1/26/2010 | 3 | chaser after antibiotics | i took generic diflucan a little over 24 hours ago and have been feeling increasingly drained. now my joints and body ache all over and i cant sleep(hence the research and review). i think the antibiotics gave me the worst headache for 5 days now that is still lurking so i'm not sure if the diflucan is contributing to that?(probably) i have taken this many times in the past and usually not many side effect, though i do remember getting the sick feeling. these muscle aches are awful, i can't get comfortable, my back aches, my elbows and knees are killing me. i was fine before.she prescribed another dose if i needed it. i've already missed a week of my life from pills. wont be taking it. | body aches, i hurt all over especially my joints. | F | 41 | 1 times | 1/17/2010 | 4 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | Vaginal itching and burning. | I took this medicine once before but I only got it in one dose. My yeast came back to my doc gave me three doses to take every three days. It's my first day into this regimen and the only irritation is that it makes my vagina burn and itch more than the actual infection. I expect it to do it's job, though and I won't be seeing anymore yeast! | F | 17 | 1 days | 1/13/2010 | 1 | yeast infection | Within 30 minutes of taking the medication I experienced burning and itching in my lips, mouth, vagina and anus which gradually increased for about 3-4 days. What I thought was a severe cold sore developed on my bottom lip. My lips, mouth, lymph nodes, vagina and anus swelled. I have blisters inside my mouth, and on my bottom lip. The mucous membranes (skin)inside my mouth and on my bottom lip began peeling off, leaving the tissue raw and exposed. In addition, it began to bleed and is extremely painful. I cannot eat, the only liquids I can drink is water through a straw. | I took Fluconozole which is the generic form of Diflucan. I WILL NEVER USE THIS MEDICATION AGAIN! | F | 35 | | 1/10/2010 | 1 | Twice,after taking one oral Diflucan tabletfor vagina yeast infection, I had severe red, extremely itchy, panful rashes in my fingers, then I had painful blisters inside my mouth, my tongue was coverd by a white layer.Extremely painful experience. First time I did not make the connection to Diflucan. But the second time I took Difucan, I broke out with the same painful rashes in my fingers within twenty minutes of taking Diflucan, then my lips swelled, everywher inside of my mouth and tongue became covered with extremely painful, white blisters, and the tongue covered by a white layer, making it impossible to eat anything except liquids. | Please make doctors, as well as the public more aware of this very painful and horrible side effect of Diflucan!! | F | 59 | | 1/7/2010 |
