4 | yeast infection | I experienced fatigue,tachycardia(rapid heart beat),and gastroalgia(stomach/adbominal pain). | I had the yeast infection for about two months and my doctor prescribed diflucan and besides the side effects its worked like a charm =) the smell is gone and there is rarely any discharge.! | F | 18 | 5 days | 11/24/2009 | 2 | Yeast Infection | Horrible rash/hives, burning ears, depression: Gyno prescribed me 14 doses of diflucan due to chronic yeast infection. It was the 3rd time I had to be on the meds during the past year. She wanted to try an aggressive approach. After 6 days I broke out in a really itchy horrible rash/hives all over my body. First my ears, then forearms and wrist, then legs and now stomach and neck. It's been 11 days since I last took diflucan and I still have the rash/hives and yeast infection. | After my bad reaction to the medication, I was placed on steriods but that has not counteracted the med effects yet and I still have the yeast infection. I had tried diflucan in the past but taking it over 8+ times in year I guess was too much for my body. Now I have to battle this rash plus the yeast infection. If I would have known that taking this high of a dose would cause this type of reaction, I would not have taken it. And, my Family doc said there could be some damage to my liver. I suffer from chronic yeast infection and now that I am having a negative reaction to the diflucan, I don't know what else to do. It's really the only pill out there for yeast. creams never work for me. This sucks! | F | 41 | 6 days | 11/16/2009 | 1 | yeast infection | it's been 5 days since I took the one dose/150 mg pill; since then I have had muscle aches, chills, lightheadedness and fatigue; called pharmacist and doctor they said it sounded like flu or a virus rather than a reaction to the drug, however, I had NO symptoms like this until AFTER I took Diflucan | F | 37 | 1 days | 11/11/2009 | 3 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | I did not have side effects, thank GOD! I just took the single dose 150 last night, and at first itchy just a little before I took it. Tonight my vajayjay is so itchy I've rubbed it irritated with wipes and finally decided to coat my inner walls with vaseline and this helped. I think this medicine will work eventually, but I need cream in meanwhile to soothe itch. | I did not develop any rashes, experience any vomiting, or blisters think this may be due to other medicine or medical issues. I am a healthy young female just having a yeast infection. | F | 29 | 1 days | 11/5/2009 | 5 | Vaginal & Anal Yeast Infection | Nothing major - bit of white discharge several days after taking pill - assume this was system flushing itself out | This is my second time taking the 1x dose (I took one last year as well for a vaginal yeast infection). I was scared to see all the negative side effects on this site, but I have honestly not experienced anything other than a little extra vaginal discharge after taking the medication (which I assume is my system flushing out the bad stuff!). | F | 41 | 1 days | 10/22/2009 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Horrible Nightmare! This one time pill drug has ruined over a week of my life more than once! Within 30 minutes of taking it I developed extreme tingling nerve pain and swelling around my mouth. Then a red ring around my mouth. my face blew up and my throat tightened-went to the ER. Treated with prednisone went home. Nerve pain that made me want to commit suicide for 2 days then blistered the outside and inside of my mouth. im on day 9 still recovering and still bleeding. I thought I had a bad case of cold sores no it was Steven Johnsons Syndrome from this pill! | Horrible Nightmare! This one time pill drug has ruined over a week of my life more than once!

I thought I had a bad case of cold sores no it was Steven Johnsons Syndrome from this pill! email me at [email protected] if this has happened to you I am going to sue the hell out of this drugmaker for the damage to my skin this has caused! Don't take this drug! I would rather have a yeast infection for the rest of my life than ever take this pill again! | F | 30 | 1 days | 10/21/2009 | 1 | yeast infection | within a few hours of taking this drug, I started having red and itchy hives popping up on my chest, arms, back and legs..itching was terrible. Use the OTC creams..NOT this drug! | F | 58 | 1 days | 10/9/2009 | 1 | Yeastie Beastie! | Severe migraines, all over body aches, could hardly move. And major nausea, with abdominal pain -- this all developed within 5-6 hours after first pill (and i shall say, my last pill). | This is the first drug I've ever had common side effects with. I just trusted my doc with his 'treatment'. He could of atleast mentioned the nasty side effects of Diflucan. Afterall, and I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about, when it comes to getting a pain reliever or a xanex script, they have everything to say about those! Script says to take every 3 days, -- doc gave me 5 pills, am i supposed to take all those every 3 days, or as symptoms develop? I'm also on an antibiotic drip every 8 hours, since Feb 09 from MSSA infection that developed in my left knee which was totally replaced in 07. The two antibiotics work on their specfics. 'sigh' deb in michigan | F | 52 | 1 times | 9/18/2009 | 4 | nipple thrush | tired, little dizzy, fatigue very sleepy and having trouble getting out of bed in the morning. | I am breastfeeding so I take it before bed and then experience the side effects the next day. As I am taking them every second day I am fine for one day then back to the side effects. this is my 4th lot, the first 3 times I took them for 3 days | F | 34 | 5 days | 8/30/2009 | 2 | recurring yeast infections | no side effects...just not getting rid of yeast infection. i have had them 8 months straight now.....i have been on for 30 days straight. | is there anything i can use? | M | 30 | 30 days | 8/25/2009 | 1 | oral thrush + vaginal yeast | I had no side effects. Was prescribed one pill, then a second pill 3 days later if symptoms not 100% improved. Took the second pill after no improvement whatsoever with the first. | Absolutely no benefit whatsoever! Useless! The doctor subsequently administered a gentian violet treatment of my oral thrush and my vaginal yeast infection, but that, too, proved useless. Next she put me on Nystatin Swish and Swallow for the thrush, and after 10 days on that I am FINALLY seeing the thrush disappearing. Monistat-7 took care of the vaginal yeast infection. Two drugs I will NEVER take again: Flagyl, and fluconazole (Diflucan)! | F | 55 | 6 days | 8/22/2009 | 5 | Vaginal Yeast | Overall weakness, muscular weakness in legs, fatigue, dizziness when standing up too quickly. | This really has helped my yeast infection after about 36 hours from the 150mg single dose of "fluconazole." It is worth these side effects for me. | F | 64 | 2 days | 8/19/2009 | 3 | yeast infection from antibiotics | swollen left ear lobe, rash in left nostril, swollen upper lip that turned blood red in color. i've taken the drug many times and only experienced this the last two times. | F | 22 | | 8/11/2009 | 3 | Yeast infection | None after first single pill dose. After second single pill dose: Severe nausea, lack of appetite, and occasional vommiting | Took first single pill dose, which cleared up all the yeast and itching within about 3 days. My doctor had given me a second single pill dose to use incase the yeast was still there a week later, it was all gone however i took it to be on the "safe side". Had the worst nausea of my life for 2-3 days. | F | 16 | 2 weeks | 8/4/2009 | 3 | yeast infection | After one Diflucan the following day I was constipated which lasted for 5 days of hell in which i finally needed medication in order to numb my anus in order to go. I honestly don't know, however, if it was definitely the medication as I was on antibiotics (reason for the yeast infection) a week prior to this experiencce and that also had begun to harden stools. However, it wasn't until after the Diflucan that I could not go at all so I am thinking it was related to the Diflucan. Took generic brand once years ago and didn't have a problem so I really can't tell. Did seem to treat the yeast this time. Did nothing for it time before... Listed as a 3 because I am really not sure how to rate this medication | F | 35 | 1 days | 7/31/2009 | 2 | yeast infections | Took this medication several times for yeast infections without any side effects. Then one day... bad allergic reaction. Big open ulcers in my mouth (tongue, gums, back of throat), in my nose, on my lips, on face next to eyes, and blisters on my wrist. Felt as though I was getting the flu. STEVENS JOHNSON SYNDROME | This drug worked well for a year or so until I had a reaction. | F | 41 | 4 times | 7/17/2009 | 4 | fungal infection | Extreme fatique, slight nausea, dizziness/equilibrium off balance, inability to concentrate... | After a treatment of a very strong antibiotic, my face broke out in the most severe rash and a vaginal infection developed as well. Knowing antibiotics cause fungal overgrowth, I requested diflucan from my doc. After a few days, my infections/rash started to clear, then when the dose was over, symptoms came back so she gave me a longer dosage time. The infection was severe but I stuck it out and everything is much better. I see where everyone is saying that the rashes and sores are the fault of the diflucan/flucanazole and for individuals very sensitive, it may be, but when my doc prescribed diflucan, she said "It's going to get worse before it gets better".. It was clear in my case, at least, that the first few days the diflucan was expelling ALL of the yeast/fungus in my body. Rash, discharge, throat, tongue were inflamed, but now, my body is healing and psychologically I feel much better as all symptoms are clearing. The side effects are worth it, for me. | F | 45 | 10 days | 7/8/2009 | 4 | Yeast infection | Raised, itchy patches on face for 1-2 days within a few hours of taking this medication. Patches then become very dry and peel for another 1-2 days. This reaction has happened the last three times I have taken this medicine. | Helps with the yeast infection but not sure it is worth the side effects I am experiencing. | F | 37 | 1 days | 7/7/2009 | 1 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | Extremely Vaginal and anal itching probably 20 min. after taking Diflucan. then itching on hands, nose, and feet, and in mouth. | I THOUGHT I WAS ALLERGIC TO YEAST...BUT IM ALLERGIC TO DIFLUCAN BECAUSE EVERYTIME I TAKE IT FOR MY YEAST INFECTION, 20 MIN. LATER IT TURNS INTO MAJOR THRUSH THROUGHOUT MY BODY. I CAN'T STOP ITCHING AND IT LASTS ABOUT 11 DAYS. I'M MISERABLE. WHAT DO I DO TO COUNTERACT THA DRUG....I'M MISERALBE. | F | 31 | 3 times | 7/7/2009 | 5 | fungal infections | none | I have had tinea versicolor, athlete's foot, and fungal infections on my chest for several years. This stuff cured it flat. I had to take a 2nd dose a while after the first but between the two of them I have had no fungal infections for years now. This is the only thing that worked. Lamisil did nothing for me. | M | 35 | 3 times | 7/1/2009 |
