So, stayed home and rested, drank fluids, ate right. Two days later took second pill and felt the same the following morning. But i was fine in a few days, and cleared up. | I had to take 2 rounds of antibiotics and it gave me a yeast infection and athletes foot. So I took 1 pill, then 3 days later took another. The yeast infection is gone and so is the athletes foot, but I think I may take one more dose to make sure it's gone. It was miserable and the Diflucan worked. | F | 62 | 2 days 200 mg 1X day | 6/18/2021 | 1 | fungal | On-going battle with dermatitis all over body. Helped with fungal infection but destroyed my skin in the process. Two months have passed and rash continues to spread. Went to a dermatologist and no progress has been made with topical anti-steriods and moisturizers. Nighttime itch horrible. Feet, legs, back, privates, arms, neck ripped up with rash. All of these skin problems are new and clearly were precipitated by this quack drug. | M | 70 | 7 days 150 1X day | 6/7/2021 | 1 | Rare vaginal yeast | Suddenly had a pounding heart during work that turned into a panic attack. My heart rate got up to nearly 140bpm... I could see the spike on my fit bit. Chest pain. Very tired, blurred vision. I took it yesterday and felt fine. I want it out of my system asap. | F | 36 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 5/31/2021 | 3 | Yeast | Fast heartrate, extreme anxiety, upper and lower back pain and chest pain almost like gas bubble in chest, tinnitus. I have taken in the past didnt feel a thing. This time took and feel very anxious, fast heartbeat and upper chest and back pain. Feel really off while taking it too. Not myself. I dont think i will take again ...a little scary and unreliable | F | 37 | 1 days 150 1X day | 5/28/2021 | 1 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | I had a severe allergic reaction to this medication!! The past two times I've taken it I have gotten severe thrush in my mouth, rashes all over my body, and swelling in my face! Skip this medicine and just use the cream! Do yourself a favor! | AWFUL | F | 23 | 1 days 150 MG 1X day | 4/26/2021 | 1 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | The first time I took this drug I had a severe panic attack, heart racing, dizziness, throat swelling, bruising all over my body and constipation that put me in the hospital. I had no idea it was the diflucan that caused this until I took it again some months later and the EXACT SAME reactions occurred and I wound up back in the hospital. This medicine is absolute poison. It is prescribed so flippantly if you're on antibiotics so please be careful. | Try the Mobistar first or natural remedies for yeast. Advocate for yourself when you're at the doctor. There are other options than this drug. | F | 27 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 4/10/2021 | 3 | Yeast infection | I have NAFLD and normally feel fine. Within hours of taking this dose of Diflucan my liver was tender. Left side of stomach was tender. Feeling achey, queasy and tired. Called my Ob/gyn for some topical meds and creams. | Just a very sudden turn of events. I had heard cautionary tales, but wow - knock me out. | F | 54 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 4/2/2021 | 2 | Fungal infection | Dry lips (feels shriveled n starting to get painful and chapped), dry mouth, dehydrated, nausea occasionally. It's been just over 2wks since I started taking this and I am having increasingly dry lips, no amount of lip balm will help them. Today I'm now dealing with dry mouth and feeling dehydrated even though I'm constantly drinking water in addition to the very dry lips. | I've never taken this before. | F | 47 | 30 days 100mg 2X day | 3/28/2021 | 1 | Yeast infection | My face is swollen, I feel like I am having an allergic reaction to it. Feel needles all over my body, especially my hands and feet. Threw up after 30 minutes of taking it, so I hope it left my system. Overall feel bad and I am really worried. Might end up going to the ER in the middle of the night. | Not worth it. Avoid it | F | 22 | 1 days 150 1X O | 3/24/2021 | 1 | Yeast infection | I've taken diflucan for years whenever I would get a yeast infection with no problem. This time was very different. I took one pill for my YI and I developed a blister under my bottom lip, a cold sore like blister in the corner of my mouth. Blisters inside my bottom and top lips, a blister between my back gum and tongue and a very bad sore throat. I am in so much pain its rediculous. I can't eat anything.... I can barely swallow - just a little water to stay hydrated. I'll never take anything oral for my YI again. The creams are messy and takes a week but at least I don't get this reaction. | F | 46 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 2/22/2021 | 1 | Candida Glabrata | Muscle and joint pain, muscle twitching, vaginal swelling (worse than infection swelling), vaginal burning and intense cramps, vaginal dryness, intense stomach cramps, constipation, gas, bloating, stomach gurgling, no appetite, nausea, dry heaving, low heart rate, palpitations, chest pain, brain fog, dry mouth and dry lips, dry itchy eyes, headache, dizziness (almost like low blood sugar) sleepiness, intense anxiety and panic attacks, insomnia (bad enough i wouldn't sleep), inflammation, and feeling warmer than usual, but no fever. There are some of these that are still ongoing. | My story about this is pretty similar to most women who took this for the purpose of a yeast infection. I have a certain type called candida glabrata that is actually resistant to this medication. I knew this before hand, but went along with what my doctor told me to do, thinking she knew what she was doing. I have done extensive research on vaginal candida glabrata and found that flucytosine and boric acid are the only things that work. Anyways, I took the first 200mg dose and that night I started to cramp up horribly bad. The second day I took the 800mg and that night the cramps were unbearably bad. I started to feel like crap pretty quickly and knew it was the medicine. The next day I took my 800mg dose again and developed intense swelling and pain in my vagina, while the other symptoms started to occur. My doctor told me to take this for 7 days. I only made it 4 days and went to the ER due to the side effects and the infection. I was prescribed the flucytosine as a compound cream and bought some boric acid. The side effects are still bothering me some what, but they are slowly getting better. It has been 4 days since my last dose and I still have some problems. I am never going to take this medication again because monistat can work for a regular yeast infection, and so can boric acid vaginal suppositories. Be very careful if you plan on taking this medication for a yeast infection because it is extremely dangerous in my opinion, but everyone reacts different. | F | 28 | 4 days 800mg 1X day | 2/3/2021 | 3 | Fungal infection | I was prescribed Diflucan for fungal infection in bikini area. 1 pill (150 mg) then another 2 days later. I was ok until 2 days after second dose. I now have bad abdominal pain that comes and goes, gas pain and chills (no fever). Fungal infection no longer burns or itches, but stomach pain is awful. If I eat or drink anything, I start cramping. Not worth it! I haven't slept in two days due to stomach pain! | Although I think it's helping the fungal infection, I wouldn't ever take this medication again. I will just see if just a cream works. If I'm worse tomorrow, I may need to go to doctor (good luck during Covid-19). | F | 55 | 6 days 150 mg. 2X W | 1/27/2021 | 3 | vaginal yeast infection, ath. foot | have developed hive on face before, dizziness, fatigue, but not every time. Helps if I take it before bed with benadryl. After being back on pill, have had recurring yeast infections. Took it in morning without benadryl, eyes itching. By 72 hours later when I had to take 2nd dose, eye felt like it had stye, painful to blink, pressure behind eye. went to eye dr. no bacterial infection. finally realized that diflucan is only difference in my routine this week. Eye is painful and itchy. Lid is completely swollen. | For a lot of American women on birth control for years, I wonder if being prescribed this 1-2 times per year for 20 years has been too much. I never had allergic hives until after taking this for 14 years. We need a safer alternative, as I don't find monistat to be helpful anymore, or Yeast Arrest. And I take the pill for endometriosis repression. Sometimes, depending on when I take a yeast remedy in the cycle, it comes back, if I take it before the pill period. | F | 41 | 3 days 150 2X W | 1/18/2021 |
