User Reviews for Monistat 1 (tioconazole) vaginal

Use of Monistat 1 should be classified as a torture technique! I can't imagine there being a yeast infection bad enough to justify the burning and sheer suffering that ensues after using this product. This needs to be under review by the FDA!

This is a nightmare!!! Pain, Pain, Pain, I cannot sleep it burns so bad. I feel like going to the emergency room.

I felt a yeast infection coming on due to medications. I stopped on Monday to pick this up and used it Monday pm before bed.I woke up during the night on fire!!! So very sore which as of today, Wednesday still continues. The last few days have been terrible. I would not suggest this to anyone. I wish I could get my money back. Today I'm off for pills so I can try to get some control on this.

Fire, Fire, Fire is what my crotch is feeling right now. Sitting on an ice pack never felt so good. This should be banned from store shelves. Buyer beware!!!! Do not use! Infection was 20 times worse after I used this medication. Just pick up the phone and call your doctor!

Within hours of inserting the ovule, i was on fire. i felt like i had acid inside my vagina. i had to go in late to work because couldn't sit still or stand comfortably. i even called my doctor to see if she thought i was having an allergic reaction and she said i wasn't. she said she hears the same thing from her patients all the time and she thinks it should be off the market. next time, i will stick with the 7 day.

Ahhhh! What a nightmare! This stuff is killing me...not literally, but it definitely is a big NO NO for me. I took it last night, forgetting my doc had prescribed me Diflucan. It kept me from sleeping because of cramping, and increased the itching! I had to take aleve and a muscle relaxer this morning to get rid of the cramps. Luckily, my doc said I could also take my prescription today. By the way, one dose of the Diflucan cleared the symptoms in less than 24 hrs, last time I took it. Anyway, I will NEVER use this crap again!!!!!!Read More Read Less

Wow. I really wish I would I have read these reviews. I took this at 9pm last night so I could sleep through any discomfort... the pain was so bad, I woke up and could not sleep. I wanted someone to just knock me out with a two by four. The itching increased dramatically, almost to the point I thought I was going to pass out. It's not 12:00pm the next day and I still have itching and burning... I'm hoping that this is just a side effect and it will start clearing up by tonight. I really don't know that it's worth it to go through this pain caused by this medication. It's absolute torture.Read More Read Less

i didnt ssee any problem just the first time i usedi itched the whole next day but im still very pleased

This treatment was a NIGHTMARE!! I don't know why it's on the market. I've used the three day before with no problems, thought I would try the one day this time. BURNING, SWELLING, misery.

Everyone was correct in saying that it made the condition much worse, BUT that was right before it got better. I did it about 3pm. By 8pm that night i was in terrible pain: burning and itching. But by the next day...NOTHING. the infection felt like it was completely gone. I suggest you buy separate Vagisil wipes. They really helped to numb the pain at night and helped me fall asleep. This drug was painful but it actually worked!

I wish I'd searched for reviews before purchasing. I've always in the past successfully fought yeast infections on my own using natural treatments, some of which came recommended straight from my doctor. However, this infection seemed worse than any other before, so I caved and went for some OTC medication. I figured I'd go with the 1-day since I wanted to over with as fast as possible. Had I known how I'd suffer, I'd have chosen to suffer less for longer. Within an hour of inserting the ovule, I thought I was losing my mind. The itching sensation went from about a 2 up to a solid 10!! I found myself pacing the room, then using a cool damp wash cloth to try to sooth my poor lady bits. I love the statement, "If you have these side effects, discontinue use." That's pretty hard to do there, Monistat!!! Thanks for the taunting! Next time, I'll choose to either do my own treatment or use the 3-day form. This 1-day, make you lose your mind, want to scratch your inside out thing is the PITS.Read More Read Less

Slight infection, used this and the pain was horrible!! Swelling, burning and blistered!! Dr. called in oral meds...2 weeks later still trying to get after effects under control. This made the infection so much worse!! BAD BAD STUFF!!

I WILL NEVER USE THIS DRUG AGAIN!!! This 1 day prescription caused the burning and itching to get a million times worse.. I would not reccomend this to anyone!!! I could barely go to work today!!!

very bad burning,redness,itching DO NOT USE!

Have you ever seen Will Smith's lips on Hitch? This is awful! I almost threw up when I looked at my vagina in the morning!

I agree w/ previous commentors and say go with the 3 day treatment. I took the one day before bed and woke up feeling 2 times worse! Definetly increased the swelling and burning! I could hardly sit, stand, walk, or move at all within the following 24 hours. A friend suggested zinc oxide cream in the baby isle to help the external burning and swelling. Thank god for the suggestion, it helped some. This medication is only good if you enjoy the pain of a yeast infection and want more!

OMG!! I woke up this morning with symptoms of a yeast infection. I called my doctors nurse and she advised me to try this!!! ekkk big boo boo!! i had yeast infections before, once got pills from a doctor, ther other times used a different monistat. THIS ONE IS BAD!! in less than 2 hours of applying it, it feelt and still feels like a war zone down there!! geezeee a little warning please!! its aweful worst than any infection i had before!!!

So basically it's really easy to use - and by "use" i mean burn the crap out of your vagina! I can not believe that this is on the market. I haven't had a yeast infection in 8 or 9 years so was happy to see a 1 day option. But wow...I had to take a friggin' loratab to get the pain under control and thought I might end up in the ER. I wish I had read these reviews before. There should be some MAJOR warnings on this thing. Whomever is responsible ought to be ashamed.

One evening I started to feel a little itching. That next morning I picked up some monistat 1 from the pharmacy. After I used the monistat 1 the feeling went from a little itching to severe burning way worse than any yeast infection I had ever had. I used it during the day and hopefully that was smart because after the burning I wanted all of it to leak out ASAP. The next morning the burning was a little better but still there. I am waiting for it to go away. I called and got a prescription for an oral medication that actually treats the infection without the severe burning...would recommend calling a doctor to get that or using a monistat version that isn't as strong. Never again. Read More Read Less
