| 1 | thrush in my throat | exhaustion, loss of appetite, stomach pain, dry mouth/nose, low blood pressure, anxious/anxiety | I've taken both this and nystatin before for thrush and other than being anxious I was okay. This time around I first started taking nystatin and it gave me racing heartbeat and just feeling like crap so I called and they switched me to diflucan and now I feel worse. I'm tired and lightheaded(so I'm assuming my blood pressure is low), my nose and my mouth are so dry, I've lost my appetite, and I get short of breath when I'm doing too much(assuming because of the low blood pressure again). I hope I never have to take this ever again. I do have a doctor's appointment later today I'm wondering what she's going to say. How long do these side effects usually last??? | F | 36 | 3 days 10mg 1X AN | 10/1/2020 | 4 | Yeast infection | Heart palpitations. On the 2nd day severe stomach cramps. They were so bad I was doubled over in pain. Headaches, dizziness, nausea, insomnia, bloating.... | F | 36 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 9/25/2020 | 2 | Tinea Versicolor | Raw tongue; hard to swallow; itchy skin; red bumps, hives | Not sure if it actually worked but the side effects wasn't worth it | F | 22 | 1 days 300 1X day | 9/17/2020 | 3 | Sinus surgery recovery | Had sinus surgery and was prescribed this medication to take for 14 days. I also had to take a z pack, which I finished. But today I had a real bout with some vertigo or dizziness. I have diarrhea, and nausea. At first I thought it was because of thezpack bc the side effects are similar to this medicine fluconazole. Then I realized that it could be this medicine bc I’ve never felt like thus when I took a zpack in the past. The episode was so bad, I really thought I might need to call an ambulance. Because the dizziness is so bad if I lay down, I’ve been sitting up all afternoon. I know the medicine is prescribed for fungus but I just can’t tolerate this medicine for a long period of time. I’m calling my dr tomorrow to let them know. I also too have had weird dreams while taking this medication. | F | 50 | 14 days 200 mg 1X day | 8/26/2020 | 3 | Yeast infection | Nausea and diarrhea bad stomach pain, I was given 2 pills , take one and a week later if I still had pain to take another , I'm on day 4 , I was feeling perfectly fine until two days ago bad diarrhea and stomach pain, and now today nausea , so I took something for the nausea cause it's bad like if I'm pregnant. I can say that today I do have a lot less pain in my vaginal area I feel like it's starting to work ! | Hope I don't have to take the second pill I didn't think I would feel this sick and I just wanna feel better | F | 31 | 4 days 150 1X W | 8/20/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | I've taken this drug on a 1-3 day dose before with no problems. The 2 week dose has sent me on a wild ride. Headache, nausea, rapid heart rate, trip to the ER for chest pain, diarrhea | F | 41 | 14 days 100mg 1X day | 8/14/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection following abx | Burning | I've taken this plenty of times with no side effects. But now this has happened twice now so I know it's the drug. This is unbearable. I took Benadryl in hopes it would help, it may have shortened the time of the effects but I don't know. | F | 28 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 7/30/2020 | 5 | Systemic Candida and Malassezia infection | Lack of sleep at first and then all of the die off symptoms. The first 2 weeks were pure hell. I had so much energy after but then I developed thrush and a yeast infection. So the 3rd week I'm physically exhausted, itching...randomly throughout common infection sites afterwards, loss of appetite. Eyelash and hair loss. We will see what the 4th week brings but I can't wait for this to be over with. | I recommend supplementing with Mary Ruth's Candida Cleanse supplements. The enzymes help break down the cell walls of yeasts and the probiotics protect the lining of the digestive system so yeasts can't adhere. Heal the gut. And then buy a lactobacillus probiotic and mix with water and spray all over the face, hair, body after you shower. It will rebuild your skin's protective barrier. Unless you do these 2 things you will be reinfected with time. | F | 28 | 1 months 200mg 1X day | 7/24/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | I had horrible heart palpitations for 3-4 days that prevented me from sleeping. Went to urgent care at 4am to be told it was all in my head. Other symptoms were terrible fatigue, dizziness, and headache. It took a full week for the medication to completely leave my system so I could get a full nights sleep without the palpitations. | F | 46 | 1 days 150 1X day | 7/21/2020 | 1 | Yeast infection | I have taken fluconazole every couple months for about two years. I loved that it was a quick pill and I could get back to my life. I used to just get upset stomach. I had a yeast infection last month and took one 150mg then a second pill 3 days later. Now in July I have the worst yeast infection ever! So I got a new prescription. Literally woke up with a fat lip that looks like big blisters on it on my top lip. I feel exhausted, taking Benadryl hoping that my lip swelling goes down. It is kind of scary because I don't know if it will progress. I'm looking up how to naturally keep your body yeast free it's really such an unnecessary nuisance. | Would not recommend at all! It's not worth not knowing if you will have an adverse reaction. It's crazy so many women are affected by yeast infections and it's still a problem the way it is. | F | 26 | 3 days 150 1X day | 7/19/2020 | 4 | Possible yeast infection | I took this drug and felt a pins and needles sensation type of itching but nothing big. | If it stops the vaginal and genital itching from a possible yeast infection, then a great drug, 7,3, or even 1 day cream monistat and other generic brands did not work. | F | 43 | 1 days 150 mg 1X day | 7/9/2020 | 1 | Oral Thrush | Had to go the ER because my heart rate was at 160 bpm. My stomach is so messed up that food goes through me within an hour. Lost 10 lbs in less than a week due to diarrhea that was just water. | M | 50 | 4 days 10p 1X day | 7/3/2020 | 2 | Yeast Infectiom | Red itchy swollen face and lips | I have been taking it every few months for the past 3 years and the last 3 times I took it I've gotten bad allergic reaction all over my face. I dont know if they changed the ingredients or my body has changed and can no longer tolerate it. | F | 32 | 3 years | 6/21/2020 | 5 | Taking it for gastritus | Some dizziness | F | 61 | 20 days 200mg per | 6/18/2020 | 2 | fungus/yeast on upper thigh | Nightmares. Dreams where I know I am dreaming and unable to wake up out of them. I experienced this every single night I took the medication. Heart palpitations. Trouble taking deep breaths at night, which is after I've taken the medication. | F | 49 | 11 days 100 MG 1X day | 6/8/2020 | 2 | fungus on upper thigh | Nightmares, Bad dreams, Dreams where I know I am dreaming and unable to wake up out of them. I experienced this every single night I took the medication. | F | 49 | 11 days 100 MG 1X day | 6/8/2020 | 2 | Vaginal yeast infection | The last 3 times I've taking this I get a horrible red oval on my index finger that has an itch that cannot be comforted. I thought it was a coincidence the last 2 times. So this 3rd time I reminded myself and sure enough I woke up in pain from it just like the last time. From Only a finger hive? Yes! | F | 43 | 1 days 150 | 6/7/2020 | 3 | Yeast infection | My right hand swells it itch so bad and it's just in between my first finger and my thumb the itching is unbelievable it's really tight and it actually hurts to touch yeah I think I'm done with this medicine | 53 | 1 days 150 | 5/29/2020 | 1 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | I have taken the generic version of this drug fliconazole, twice in the past without issue. However, this is my third and LAST time ever taking this drug. I took it on Wednesday at 1pm and now on Sunday, I'm still feeling the horrible side effects. I've had severe nausea, nonstop diarrhea, vomiting, appetite loss, and chills. I want so badly to eat and every time I try I can barely get anything down. I truly feel like I'm dying. Every time I start to feel better, it's followed by a longer bout of me feeling worse. I should have just taken Monistat. And all I took was ONE PILL. Never again!! | F | 23 | 1 days 150 mg | 5/24/2020 | 1 | Vaginal yeast infection | Tachycardia, Vertigo, Nausea, Abdominal pains. | For me, this medication has been like taking poison. The side effects are horrendous. To make matters worse it has a very long half life so I know I am in for a rough ride for many days. I will never take this drug again. | F | 63 | 1 days 150 mg | 5/23/2020 |
