Last night thinking I might have a yeast infection I went to Walgreens. After spending several minutes looking I decided to buy MONISTAT 1. BIG MISTAKE! HUGE MISTAKE!!!! I came home inserted the ovule then got on the computer and started researching Monistat just to see if I had made the right choice. OMG, there was review after review on hundreds of web sites about the negative side effects. I was skeptic and thought it can't be that bad so I left the ovule in and went to bed. About 2 hours later I woke up with the worst burning in my huha that I have ever had in my life!!! I tried to sleep with my legs open and washed with cold water. Being an idiot I went work and suffered a few hours before calling MONISTAT. They acted like this was normal and no big deal and told me to use cold packs and it might go away in a few days! WTF, my huha is going to be burning like it had been saturated in battery acid and cayenne pepper for 3 days!!!! ARE THEY CRAZY? I ended up having to go to the Dr. they had to give me a steroid shot. I will warn every female I come in contact with DO NOT USE MONISTAT1 and please warn all the females you know. I'm really worried about the long term side effects. I totally agree with the 1000's of other women who have had the same experience, this stuff should be pulled from the shelves and ban! Don't trust any positive review of MONISTAT1. Really, you have NO idea until you experience the pain.

I came to WedMD to find out any reviews about the Monistat 1 treatment. I started not to take it after reading some of the reviews. But my symptoms won out over my fears.

I bought it this past Thursday and applied it that night. At first there was initial discomfort but it didn't burn as women on here stated. For me it felt like a tingling like a minty feeling. After a couple of hours it stopped and so did my symptoms. I am still using the vulvar cream, which doe initially have the same reaction at first. But at least I know it's working, it seems as if my yeast infection has cleared up. I would definitely use this product again:))

Personally, I didn't have the terrible pain and burning that everyone is talking about. After reading these reviews I was terrified and it took me a good while with the medication in my hand before I could convince myself to insert it.

Maybe it's different for everyone but I did not have any pain what so ever. It was of course itchy, but only an annoying itch. I would suggest using the cream for the outside of the vagina to help with the itchiness because I think that's what might have helped me. So don't be afraid ladies! It might not be that bad for you.

I decided to try monistat after repeated use of fluconazole to treat my months long yeast infection. I was immediately scared after reading reviews but soon found that after a slight "burning" sensation, that hurt no more than my actual yeast infection and lasted a few hours,I felt normal again within 10 hours. Excellent product!
