| 1 | Yeast after antibiotics | First day , bloating , pain and tightress in chest,2nd day terrible burning in lower back and colon, anal and vaginal burning, terrible pain when emptying bowel, on third day in and I am in burning up he'll, don't know when this will end. This stuff is poison. | F | 81 | 1 days 150mg 1X day | 6/24/2017 | 1 | vaginal yeast infection | i took the medicine because i was having a really bad yeast infection .. literally within 5 minutes of taking the medicine my vagina and lips start tingling and got swollen and red. my lips are blistering and burning my tongue is swollen and burning as well my throat is sore and i cannot eat a damn thing. even water burns my mouth | do not take this unless you want to suffer for 2 weeks + | F | 17 | 1 days 150 MG | 6/20/2017 | 3 | Vaginal Yeast Infection | After recent previous experiences with Duflucan, I have concluded that the side effects I experienced were directly associated with the drug. With each subsequent use, I would experience a burning,tingly, itching sensation with notable redness and edema to the upper and lower lip area, as well as to the lower mandible and nose. The sensations are comparable to an onset of a cold sore outbreak. Within days, the skin begins to dry and peel and eventually, heel with no notable scarring or pigmentation. Although it's efficacy in treating yeast infections is promising, the possibility for worsened hypersensitivity upon subsequent dosing remains a deterrent. | Usage should be determined on a risk:benefit basis with consultation of practitioner. | F | 27 | 1 days 150 mg | 6/12/2017 | 1 | Yeast | Nausea, stomach and back cramps, loss of appetite, lightheadness | I had been prescribed two diflucan for a yeast infection following augmentin. It didn't work. The doc prescribed two more, it didnt work. Then he prescribed 4 pills to take everyother day. Feeling horrible. Hope this passes through my system quickly. Not sure yet if it worked. Still experiencing burning. | F | 53 | 8 days 150 | 3/30/2017 | 3 | Valley Fever | At first, dry chapped, peeling lips. After about a month my scalp started itching. I've tried many OTC shampoos for it from inexpensive to expensive and none of them have helped. My hair is thinning. I have to clean my hairbrush daily. My eyelashes are thinning too. I'm hoping that I can get off of this drug before I lose so much I have to wear a hat or buy a wig. | Valley Fever is dangerous. I know I need this medication, but am stressing out about the hair loss and insane itching. There was no mention of these side effects with the drug. More research needs to be done, or honesty from the pharmaceutical company. | F | 48 | 4 months 200 1X day | 3/11/2017 | 1 | vaginal yeast | full body hives that required trip to medical treatment facility where I was prescribed oral steroids as treatment. | I have used this drug for over 20 years and this is the first reaction to it. After reading similar accounts I wanted to post this. | F | 46 | 1 days 150 1X day | 3/8/2017 | 1 | Yeast Infection | Felt fine until few hours after taking. Got bad dizzy spell in store, but was luckily holding onto cart or would have fallen. Then, felt flushed, queasy very cold and generally not well. It seemed to dissipate for a bit. I was shaky with chills and felt like had a fever. My body was very weak even in morning unlike anything I've ever experienced. I have taken in past many times and never experienced an issue. I'm feeling better since it's been 24 hrs but still not 100% | GP refused to prescribe bc of dangerous side effects with antibiotic, but GYN did prescribe as she said safe. Apparently GP was right! DO NOT take this drug! | F | 39 | 1 days 200mg | 3/5/2017 | 1 | Vaginal yeast infection | Swollen bottom lip, red rash around bottom lip, blisters around the rim of my bottom lip. | I took this medication before about 5 years ago with no problems. I had a 2 dose prescription. 1 now and the other in 3 days.I did not take the second dose.My doctor seems to be unaware of this reaction. My bottom lip is both itchy and painful. I have taking benadryl hoping that this symptoms subside.I will not be taking this medication again. | F | 38 | 1 days 150 | 3/5/2017 | 5 | Candida systemic | I can admit many days the side effects are numerous and difficult but that is a clear sign that it is working. Spinning, confusion, mood swings, cotton mouth, frequent urination and even blood clots (thrombosis) Unable to function some days. These are symptoms and effects of candida die-off not the medicine. The fungus is to blame, just look up acytlehyde (might be spelled different) and then get excited you feel like heck because it is working. Most of my effects went away when I started drinking water one and half gallons per day. | I do want to reserve right to change my review as I still take the medication. You are able to contact me about my experience, so I hope you do and I hope you are blessed good health and prosperity. | M | 43 | 1 months 400mg per | 2/27/2017 | 1 | Yeast infection | Swollen face red burning patchy rash mainly on my face but also patches on arms and swollen sore eyes | F | 47 | 1 days 150mg | 2/20/2017 | 1 | Yest infection | Spinning for hours, eyes hurt, feel like throwing up. | Would never take medicine again. | F | 33 | 1 days 150 | 2/11/2017 | 1 | Yeast | I have taken this drug my whole life but the last time I took it I got hives and red cheeks and a gross blister next to my mouth, but thought hmm, lemme try this again like an idiot... Well here I am Covered in hives with oozing blisters on my face, I'm totally red, my cheeks are burning, I'm a MESS... is there sulfa in this now??!! Is the formula changed? Anyways, antihistamine isn't doing anything, so it's suffering time... | Never again will I take this drug, damn you diflucan | F | 43 | 10 times 150 1X M | 2/8/2017 | 1 | prescribed for toenail fungus | Not while I was taking it but delayed reaction a few months after I stopped taking it I lost a tremendous amount of hair. It was the only drug I was taking. Lost about 1/2 to 2/3 of my hair and it never grew back normally again. | It didn't work for the reason it was prescribed. | F | 49 | 6 months 1X W | 1/29/2017 | 1 | Yeast infection | Brain Fog, weak feeling, no energy. | Symptoms started 1 day after I started taking it and so far has lasted about 19 days. Symptoms are not improving at all. I'm scared!! | F | 41 | 1 days 150 | 1/17/2017 | 1 | vaginal yeast infection | Rash/blister on finger | I was prescribed Diflucan for a yeast infection. Soon after taking it, my ring finger started to tingle followed by itching. It then became inflamed and sensitive to touch. I was told that it was cellulitis. I was then put on prednisone, which causes a yeast infection so I had to take ANOTHER dose of Diflucan and the same exact thing happened again to the SAME finger. I explained to the doctor that this is not cellulitis and it has to be an allergic reaction to the Diflucan. I was then told that if that is the case I wouldn't have the same reaction in the same place. Boy was he WRONG! He also told me that all anti fungal medication has the same agents and that there was no substitution. So instead of taking the prednisone to heal my finger...I just had to endure the discomfort which lasts for about a week! I know physicians have a degree but they should pay close attention to their patients for we know our bodies! Diflucan has DEFINITELY changed!! | F | 41 | 1 days 150 MG | 12/26/2016 | 1 | Breast fungal infection | -eczematous red plaques around eyelids and other areas of face/cheeks/upper chest - patches of dry skin appeared on day 5 of therapy - full blown dry, flaky, inflamed, thickened skin rash on face in shape of butterfly that appeared on day 8 and looked purplish in color - swollen eye lids - skin peeled with fluids | I started diflucan 400 mg on 11/21 for breast fungal infection due to pumping and noticed tiny red bumpy rash on my torso and arms, which I thought was my pregnancy rash that's coming back. OB put me on prednisone 6 day dose pack and day 3 of prednisone (day 5 diflucan), I noticed spots of dry patches appearing on my face. I thought it was the original rash, but it flared up 3 days later to covering my entire upper chest and face. I stopped day 6 of prednisone thinking it was reaction to it, but rash still remained and didn't improve. Finally, stopped taking diflucan yesterday 12/4 and I'm seeing a slight improvement in the rash. This was a delayed reaction since prednisone burst suppressed the rash until my dose was low enough that the rash emerged. | F | 34 | 2 weeks 200 mg | 12/5/2016 | 1 | Yeast infection | Hives, blisters, itchy red patches on my arms, chest, face, and legs. I have been to the ER 3 times from the side effects of this drug. I wish I had been given facts on this drug before taking it. | F | 48 | 1 days 150 mg | 12/1/2016 | 1 | Yeast infection | About 20 minutes after taking the medication my left palm starts to tingle and get hot. It also gets really itchy for days, when the itchiness goes away it burns and turns into a blister. It's always on the same hand on the same Palm, and follows the same pattern / outline. The skin peels off a couple weeks later and I'm left with new skin underneath that is extremely sensitive to be touched,cold or hot temperaturesauce. It's absolutely miserable | F | 29 | 1 days 150mg | 11/28/2016 | 3 | valley fever | nausea, food tastes funny, insomnia, blood pressure went up (losartan and fluconazole don't play nice together) lightheaded, dizzy, lack of appetite fatigue, muscle and body ache, chapped lips that peel. Generally feel like I have the flu every day,, | I was put on fluconazole 1 year after I was diagnosed with Valley Fever (PET scan and lung biopsy confirmed) my pulmonary doctor decided to wait on treatment of the 15mm nodule and see what it did. After 1 year of CT scans every 3 months the nodule started growing and he put me on the meds. I have an appointment with the Mayo clinic this week to see a doctor in infectious disease. The weird thing is I feel way worse on the meds than I did before. | F | 51 | 45 days 200mg 2X day | 11/20/2016 | 1 | Thrush caused by antibiotics | After a few hours of taking the single 150mg dose fluconazole, just under my bottom lip i felt like it was burning, it was quite red and i noticed tiny clusters of blisters in that spot, then the burning sensation was accompanied by an intense constant itchiness. my cheeks glowed red, and i have been going through dizzy spells on and off, today is my second day after taking the tablet and i feel generally unwell, lack of energy,tired sort of similar to a hang over. | I have taken Diflucan a number of times in the past and have never had any form of negative reaction to this medication...have they changed the formula or what's going on there? | F | 29 | 1 days 150mg | 11/8/2016 |
