 1  Post op yeast infection This is the 4th time I've gotten red patches that turn to huge blisters on my feet and hands. Also on my vagina.I just realized it was the diflucan because I was taking other meds before. One hour after taking it, I knew because those old spots (yes, I'm scarred on my hand from this)immediately became inflamed. They've given me prednisone and after 4 days I'm still in agony! I've had to miss work in the past for this,and get tested for an auto immune disease, etc...The company should really have to pay for all of these hospital visits. Saddest issue is the medication stays in your system for up to 2 months (per Poison control) and no way to reverse the medication. Not worth the risk! Nothing works for relief. F 41 1 days

 3  yeast infection Within 10 minutes of taking Diflucan, I experienced extreme tingling and burning on my lips and nose. I then took a Benadryl tablet and placed an ice pack over my face. An hour later, I have severe swelling of my lips, nose and cheeks. I also have a black bruise on the tip of my nose. I have taken Diflucan in the past and it has worked great. I have never had an allergic reaction til now. My doctor said she has never heard of anyone having symptoms like mine after taking it, but I see after reading these comments, there are a lot of others experiencing the same thing. I don't know if they changed or added something to the pill, but I hate it. It cleared yeast infection in a day though, so that is one positive. F 28 1 days

 1  Yeast infection Extreme dizziness, head pain, weak, extreme tinnitus, blurry vision, felt fluish, slight temperature, could not move felt like hit by a truck, dry lips. I have taken this med before and never had a reaction. This was horrible, and the worst part is it is time released and delivers in your system for at least three days. Nothing to do but suffer each day through the hellish side effects. I will NEVER take this medicine again. They have changed the formulary , and now it is like poison. F 1 days

 5  Systemic candida Most of the reviews I have read for this drug seem to be "yeast die off" reactions and not allergic reactions. This is speaking from experience of fighting systemic yeast for 5 years and trying 12 different anti fungal treatments. A simple google search "herxheimer symptoms" will explain that most of these negative diflucan reviews are from patients that have a serious underlying yeast problems, that blame the drug for doing what it is designed to do: kill yeast in every area of your body. I am thankful for flucanazole, no other treatment penetrates deeply into most all tissues of your body to stop the yeast. The last straw for me, to seek RX treatment was fungal arthritis. It has worked perfectly. Sad that doctors don't know much about " herxing." It sounds like a lot of the patients would have benefitted from this drug if they did not run away at the first reaction. Dealing with yeast is a bit like a behavioral intervention, things get ugly , loud , worse, then they get better than ever. One month into treatment Good side effects: as much energy as when I was 20 years old. Don't need caffeine, sleeping much less at night, joint pain is gone, no more carbohydrate cravings, emotional stability that I haven't experienced in years. Negative side effects: localized and temporary itching at various infection sites (legs, face, eyes, arms). A few sharp but brief headaches ( Google "Alzheimer's candida"). A few sharp but brief pains internally. Side Note: also taking 600 mg daily of OTC Allicin (garlic derived), as studies have indicated synergism when fighting yeast. M 33 2 months

 1  Vaginal Yeast Infection After the 4th time taking this drug with only great results I started feeling like my blood was boiling throughout my body. I would get red bumps around my lips, nose, ears that would itch. I tried this pill a 5th time thinking it must have been caused by something other than Diflucan since I had never had any reaction prior, but the side effects only got more intense. I have never tried it again because I am afraid I may have an even more severe reaction next time. F 38 5 times

 4  Yeast infection I've take this medication. Several times over they years. This year everytine I've take. It my tongue swelled & got very sore the last few times then I took 1/2 2!times a day for 2 days. 4 days ago. My tongue swelled & sore then my bottom lip developed a swelling & blister sore 3 days ago now it is raw & bleeding where the sore erupted. I ve never had cold sores before. I thought I had scrapped my lip or burnt it but it is so sore & bleeding now everytine I eat. I just linked it to difluconozole after reading sake of the side effects. It's scary! I won't be taking it again due to the reactions to it as they get worse with each dose. F 54 1 days

 3  Vaginal yeast infection mild Since 2007, everytime I have taken Diflucan 150mg, my left ring finger always swells, turns red & itchy, becomes blister, then peels. It has caused that area of my future wedding finger discoloration that's very noticeable. It took the vaginal yeast infection away but instantly caused burning and itching to my ring finger. I have lupus not sure if that matters F 37 1 days
