For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I'm sensitive to medication side effects, so I took it after eating. I was given 2 doses of 150 mg, one on the first day, then again 3 days later, for a yeast infection after antibiotics for a kidney infection. Day 1: drowsy, dull headache, severe bloat/upset stomach, feeling diarrhea-ish, worst smelling gas of my life (yay). Infection symptoms dissipated within 1/2 day but returned on and off. Today, 7 days later, I took a 1/2 dose. Bad gas, some bloating and upset tummy, but not as severe. Symptoms gone within a few hours of taking it. I'll finish the other half in another day. Maybe it's better to take it at night. Seems somewhat effective so far."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "Had the odd yeast infection, usually after antibiotics or too much beer and sugar. Always taken an oral pill, and easily sorted. In NZ, chemist gave me fluconazole. A few hours after taking it, appetite went, 5 hrs, severe nausea, 10 hrs I woke up and vomited the most disgusting, chemical bile. Spent the next day feeling like I'd been hit by a train. All my joints and limbs were aching, bad headache, no energy at all. Started feeling better the next day as nausea was subsiding, then on day 4 I started bleeding with uterus pain. Fresh blood as period wasn't for another 2 weeks. Day 5, bleeding, still itchy, still sore. Rubbish!!"

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I am one day into treatment, and the side effects are wiping me out! I can hardly get out of bed, I’m so fatigued, body aches, headache. Not sure if that is normal, plus after about 12 hours, no results, but that is probably normal. Side effects are a real trip, though, I had to cancel going to work."

Fluconazole for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Treated for candida infection, 3 strains, and had lowered immunity. So had Canesten and Diflucan prescribed, 150 mg, fine for 1st day. Next day, severe migraine-like headaches that have lasted every day on and off, bar last 2 days. Off balance, anxiety, and severe nausea for 2 and a half, nearly 3 weeks now. Thrush has cleared up, but couldn't get my GP's surgery to give me an appointment for a couple of weeks. I've had this tablet before, no issues. Never again, feel really ill on it. I'm 65 and normally very active, have had to suspend my gym membership for a month as I feel so unwell. Do not take this drug."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "First off, the pill form is super convenient and leaves no mess behind. I did experience a slight headache, however, I will take anything over the messy creams."
