I was prescribed this diflucan to take 1 a day for 3 days. Today is day 2 and itching has begun to clear up. Also- advice for those with recurring yeast infections or those who get them every time an antibiotic is taken: TAKE A PROBIOTIC DAILY This will help prevent yeast infections & can safely be taken daily without any drug interactions. The one I've used that works best for me is "Dr Ohhira'...

Had to take amoxycilin after surgery, and I got a horrible yeast infection. Went to my gyno afterwards, and she said that particular antibiotic is known to cause yeast infections. So she prescribed 2 doses of Diflucan. First dose made me nauseous, but I thought, "hey, what's a little nausea if it clears this up." Gave me a little relief. Took the second dose 4 days later, and while there was no n...

I have taken Diflucan in the past after antibiotics, and never had a problem before. But it seems like since having Covid, I have a lot more adverse reactions to medication. I finished Keflex last week for a UTI with no problems. Then a few days later, could feel the beginnings of a yeast infection, so I took the diflucan. I feel horrible, like I’ve been run over by a truck. Migraine headache, no appetite, nausea, bad stomach pain, diarrhea, and every muscle aches. I can’t get comfortable enough to sleep. Last time I take this.Read More Read Less

I had an ear infection and took Amoxicillin, which lead to yeast infection. Dr prescribed Diflucan. I have been through hell for a week now with parasthesia, palpitations, hyperglycemia, and other symptoms. I am writing this as a warning to be cautious. The infection cleared up, but these side effects have been horrible. I will never take this again, will stick with creams!

Terrible side effects after one pill. Nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, vomiting, loss of appetite. Third day after stopping the pill and finally feeling a little better. Will never take this medication again.

I took Diflucan 2 years ago and have documented that within an hour of taking it, I got a stye on my left eyelid. Fast forward 2 years and I took Diflucan again and within 30 minutes, I got an itchy stye on my left eyelid again. So weird!

I was prescribed this med along with Amoxicillin for Strep. About 4 days into the antibiotics I began to get yeast infection symptoms. I took my first diflucan and had relief within a few hours. After a day or two, I noticed a bloated feeling and bad cramps when I stood like I had done 100 crunches. After another day or 2 I took my second dose and I have thee worse upset stomach and gas. My cooter feels fine, but my stomach is miserable!

When I got off the antibiotics I started itching crawling zapping sensation. All.Over.Biopsie were so sister with Grovers disease.. no sure just a bunch of treatments and prednisone that doesn’t work. Furring this I gained about 30 lbs. about a more nth ago I thought I had a yeast infection and took one. The next day the really awful itch stopped. I lost all of the weight in about a week! It was very weird.i was like a druggie calling all my docs trying to get Fluconazole. I am now on 100 mg a day for six weeks and I. Ever want to get off of it. I hope this helps someone it is not a dangerous drug and It’s the only thing that has helped meRead More Read Less

Took diflucan for a week due to oral thrush. Worse case of heartburn I've ever experienced. Sent me to emergency. Ended up with gastritis, insomnia, and depression. Will never take this medication again.

I developed so many tiny sores inside my mouth, inside my cheeks, on the roof of my mouth and on my tongue. I was in pure hell for a week. I thought it was the flu and then a sinus infection before we figured it out. I currently take Adipex for weight loss and had started occasionally vaping. Well I guess my body didn't like that and then I was diagnosed with Oral Thrush. I requested liquid Diflucan because I could not eat or drink. I was told to take it for 14 days. I'm on day 11 today. I have a slight constant headache, am more dizzy when I first stand up, am constipated and it tastes horrible. However, the Thrush was hell so I welcome a little discomfort that comes along with this medication. Read More Read Less

I have not experienced any of the horrible side effects like some other people on here. However, I don't think the medication is working or killing the candida.

I used Diflucan successfully multiple times over several years. Then,when I was in my young 30s,I used a dose a friend had that had expired, and got large maroon skin hives(rash) on my face and neck. I didn't attribute the spots to the diflucan until abut the 3rd time I got rash, which was worse each time. The 2nd time I'd used unexpired generic fluconozole, the 3rd time unexpired Diflucan. I don't know if the reaction had anything to do with that one dose being expired, or if my body's tolerance just changed, but I can't use it anymore. So don't take a chance on an expired dose!Read More Read Less

OTC treatments have never worked for me. I am extremely susceptible to vaginal yeast infections. Anytime I take an antibiotic I�m sure to get one. Plus I am diabetic and high blood sugars also cause them for me. And when I get one it�s 100% awful and really bad. 1 pill and I�m cleared up in a few days. The day after taking it I usually already feel the difference. I usually take a second one a week after the first one is taken for the just in case factor. I would recommend this medication to anyone. Women who are allergic to it, I feel so sorry for. This medication works miracles for me. Read More Read Less

I had a bacterial infection so the doctor prescribed me Metronadizole. It gave me a terrible yeast infection , the kind that is real dry & irritating. The doctor called in Diflucan & I took it about 3 days ago. It just start clearing up today. My discharge isn’t white anymore it’s becomibg more clear. I haven’t had discomfort all day today. The medication is working but i’m going to wait a couple more days a couple more days before having any sex with my boyfriend. Overall this medication really works. I’m so relieved.Read More Read Less

I was put on Augmentin (antibiotics) and got a yeast infection, so the dr prescribed this. It has made me miserable. I have had the worse diarrhea for the past two days. Last night I had major chills and couldnâ??t get warm. I still have a bit of a yeast infection- Iâ??m hoping it clears up soon.
