Fluconazole "Amazing drug. After trying everything for a week to get rid of the worst yeast infection of my life, I was prescribed Diflucan. Within 15 minutes, no lie, yeast started dumping from my body. Kinda gross, but that's what was making me feel so horrible and frustrated. I had waited a few days after Monistat didn't work. But word to the wise, drink lots of water after you take this; there are so many toxins that get released into your body when yeast dies off, especially that fast. I drank a lot of water and didn't experience side effects or headaches with this med."

"I was prescribed fluconazole 150 mg for a Candida urinary tract infection and also oral thrush. It has caused terrible side effects such as chest pains, chest discomfort, panic attacks, anxiety, side pains (lower left above hip & upper right under rib), dizziness, lightheadedness, pale skin (I look like a vampire), constant nausea but no vomiting, lower back pain, vaginal burning. I hope this med leaves my body soon because I feel like a walking zombie with lots of pain. It's actually causing my fibromyalgia to flare up like crazy, so more pain for me, yay. I will never take fluconazole ever again! Even if my life depended on it. Oh, I also stayed up all night with chest pain hoping that it would go away, but then it caused the panic attack because I thought I was going to die on this pill. Never again!"

Fluconazole "It would have been very nice to have known beforehand that Diflucan contains fluoride, which messes with iodine. I have thyroid problems and bipolar, so it has been real fun puking my brains out while having a complete breakdown. This stuff also has the added plus of switching your yeast infection to a bacterial infection."

"If you have a yeast infection, I definitely recommend fluconazole. I took the pill, and within three days, all signs of the yeast infection were gone. The only side effect I had was that I kept urinating every 10 minutes."

Fluconazole "I was prescribed just 2 pills after getting antibiotics for a UTI and an ear infection “just in case.” They were to be taken 7 days apart. The morning after taking 1, I had nearly all the side effects mentioned for this drug. I didn’t read the side effects beforehand and psych myself out. I just wondered why my stomach was so bloated, painful, miserable gas, constant BM, 0 appetite, and worst of all, I had shortness of breath! Then, 24 hours later, I remembered I had taken this the night before and looked up negative side effects. I will not be taking the other pill! If I ever get a true yeast infection, I will use the 1-day ovule that has no side effects! Can’t wait till this leaves my system, which says it stays in your system for several days :("

"I'm a 30-year-old male, and I recently picked up a painful candida infection. Ironically, this was worsened by the doctor prescribing me antibiotics in the initial belief that it must be a bacterial STI. Men can and do get thrush! Anyway, this medication eased the burning immediately and cleared it up entirely after 7 days."

Fluconazole "Two months ago, I started feeling burns on my penis, so I didn't take it seriously. But these days, it became so bad that I couldn't sleep, then I searched for it on Google today. I bought Diflucan, and it's been 4 hours, and I have no burning or itching, just a few wounds."

"Took 1 pill (150 mg) and a few days later got terrible abdominal pain, testicular pain, headache, and dizziness. Three weeks later, I still have dizziness and minor testicular pain and swelling. The side effects are worse than the original symptoms. I would avoid this drug. It should not be over the counter and should be prescription only."

Fluconazole "I was prescribed this drug for a fungal UTI. I have lost most of my hair. I started losing it about a week or so after I finished the medication. I now have started saving it along with videos. I have 2 qt. size zip lock bags of it and am still losing it by the brush full almost 2 months later. My hair was very thick, now you can see through it. I will never take this drug again."

"I took 150 mg for 2 days in a row. It works like a charm. I'm a 73-year-old female and seem to get UTIs more often, but the 150 mg of fluconazole works great for me. I would definitely recommend it. It's a 10 for me."

"I had a UTI, got put on Bactrim. My only symptom: frequency to urinate and pressure on the bladder. After that, symptoms never went away. Went back, urine was clean for bacteria infection, so they swabbed me and said I had a yeast infection. But I have no symptoms, but the same one from my UTI the whole 3 weeks??? Been on fluconazole now for 2 days, hope this works!!"

"I am a single mother of 4 at the age of 36, and I had a yeast infection. My doctor gave me this medication for 7 days. I took only one and stopped because the next morning my urine color was very bright fluorescent yellow/orange and abdominal pain! It’s day 3 since I’ve taken that prescription, and my pain in my abdomen and now my eyes are glassy, and I don’t feel right at all! Tomorrow I’m going to the Emergency Room if I don’t see a change! Please, God, help me! I don’t want to die! I trusted my doctor to get rid of my yeast, not my liver too! I’m so scared! Please pray that I survive and get better! For my babies!?"

"I am a 38-year-old male who had a possible yeast infection. My nurse practitioner gave me this on a whim to see if it cleared up a possible yeast infection because a round of antibiotics didn't work. I am currently on a blood pressure medicine that I was told it wouldn't react with. Let me just say this: I took only one 150 mg tablet, and as of 3 days later, I am still extremely fatigued with nausea and some dizziness. The BP medicine I'm on is called Bystolic 5 mg for anyone's reference. This medicine stays in your system entirely too long as well, especially for one pill. I don't know if anyone knows a way to get relief or not, or if they can even answer here. I thought I had COVID, these side effects are so bad. If I was coughing or had a fever, I would have literally gotten tested."

Fluconazole "I am still having problems with a bad taste in my mouth, no appetite, nausea after taking a single dose over a week ago. I suffered a very bad headache for 3 days after the dose. It was miserable."

Fluconazole "Okay, umm... I was diagnosed with candida in 2014 and was given different antifungals, which seemed to work for the meantime. Then, in 2015, I had a reinfection, symptoms were similar to the last one. So, Diflucan was recommended: 150 mg single dose and ketoconazole cream. On taking the single dose of Diflucan, I got a lot better after 3 hours, it was such a relief. The itching, burning, and inflammation stopped. This is 2020, and I am currently on another dose, and it's working perfectly... I recommend this drug 100%."
