Fluconazole Side Effects (Page 3)

I would like to know any and all side effects to this particular medication. I have been experiencing stomach ache, headache, low backache, palpitations, taste, nausea. Are these normal side effects? and if not, should I stop taking them. Of course, you can't reach a doctor over the weekend. I have taken 9 doses in 10 days. I forgot to take my normal dose on Friday night and felt great the next day but took one last night when I realized that I had missed a dose, and woke up in the middle of the night feeling sick again. This has been going on for the last 3 or 4 doses. The reaction usually occurs 4-6 hours after taking the pill.

There are other methods to get rid of candida overgrowth, Get with a naturopathic doctor that is specialized. C in candida, get on the Gaps diet which is basically eliminating sugar, flour, dairy and carbs, There are very powerful natural ways to kill candida . Caprylic acid punctures holes in the cell wall of candida. Diflucan has fluoride in it so do your research in fact flouride causes . lowered IQ, it effect thyroid it replace the good iodine in your thyroid, it causes all types of side effects, Portlanders got smart they voted it out of their water it was a landslide victory Portlander are big organic food and water purists! Flouride it is not permissible in many countries to even have in the toothpaste. My Chinese Medicine doctor said that herbs will kills candida/fungus, however it is not as fast acting as Diflucan, but the herbs are equally effective, My MD is also and ND and he told me the same thing, that he felt Diflucan was fast acting and since I was having intense stinging itching ,from candida overgrowth. The overgrowth was a result of antibiotics so I took Diflucan, Diflucan worked in 14 hours, I halved my dose because my liver was hurting , The reason pharma companies cannot offer anything gentle is because they cannot patent things in nature they would not make all of those billions of dollars off of us and fund doctors research to peddle their medication ,....so don't look to them or to your MD to give you something natural , gentle ,organic stuff with no side effects, look to the ND homeopathic, or Chinese Medicine doctor for a gentle natural cure, Of course if you have some serious health issue going on run to the MD and take the medication

I bought fluconazole for thrush as a single dose tablet over the counter several times, and each time I get very painful blisters on my lip, hands, bottom of my back inside a star tattoo, and finally got a diagnosis other than herpes simplex 1.

I have had what is called a "fixed drug reaction" where the blisters are coin shaped lesions. I have been prescribed steroid tablets it's that bad. I was told that it was stress, fatigue and herpes because it was on my lip, but having not come into contact with anyone who has hsv1 I was still looking for the answer.

My doctor was absolutely fascinated with my lesions and he said I had made his day because he's never actually seen it himself but heard lots about it. Apparently it can manifest itself into scar tissue and tattoos, which explained a lot of things to me.

I will never be able to take it again. Each time I have taken it over 3 years i have had this problem 6 in total now. Hopefully this may trigger someone else's reaction go to the drug, as i would like to hear from anyone who had the same horrible blisters and associated tingling and incessant itching!! (calamine lotion/ibuprofen helped with this as well as cetrizine, however the cetrizine was not very effective and so I now have prednisolone 30mg a day for 7 days. )

i took 1 dose of 150g to combat a yeast infection that was in itself a side effect of antibiotics taken to cure strep throat. i broke out in an extremely painful rash on my neck - it's been 5 days now and is progressively getting worse, the skin is actually breaking, is such a deep red it's nearly purple and is very hot and painful. i've also had nausea for the past 3 days. i'm hoping that it gets through my system in the next day or 2. this seems to be quite a strong and dangerous drug and i'm instructed to never ever take it again, as side effects will increase exponentially now that i have a sensitivity to it. next time i'm just getting through the strep.

Wow-- I was prescribed 150mg one single dose for a yeast infection-- and I had the worst side effects ever! This medicine made me crazy-- constant headache for 5 days, fatigue, weakness, nausea, horrible ANXIETY, no appetite! I think it worked get rid of the infection but next time I will do over the counter yeast infection meds! I was in such a constant brain fog from just one dose-- had to even take a week off work-- could barely function. My body has never done well on antibiotics and I am allergic to most of the common ones, maybe this is the reason for such a strong reaction.

I was taking Diflucan for seven days 100 mg then my yeast infection went away and came back so I was put back on it for 200mg for 20 days, By the fourth night I was having a very odd feeling I did not feel like myself, i unusual thoughts, fear and panic my heart was feeling really odd, insomnia I felt like I was losing my mind, I was so scary. I took some charcoal to get it out of my system. .I instantly thought it must be the medications since I'm generally a really calm person. Stopped the Diflucan went straight to a naturopathic doctor and was put on gentle and natural formula with no side effects

I have been taken the medication for 4 years now and the only thing I have noticed is that when the dosage is lowered more hair grows back. But because I'm still taking the medication my hair still continues to break off and is very brittle. My scalp and skin are always excessively dry. I hope this helped a little

I too have tachycardia and take atenolol for it. I took 1 Diflucan yesterday for the first time ever for a yeast infection. 9 hours later while sleeping I woke up with my eyes doing a strange flutter while shut and heart racing. By the time I talked myself into getting up and checking my pulse it had calmed down to 70bpm but heart still pounding. I had no idea this pill could cause this and now reading it could last a while. Oh boy...not good. Going to call doctor this morning to see what I can do to calm the heart down.

I took three doses of Difuzole (Fluconazole) on three consecutive days. My last dose was taken 5 days ago. I am still besides myself with the itchiness it has caused. Feel like I want to climb the walls! Antii-histamines /cortisone has done nothing to help. Please advise if there is anything else I can take to stop the itching?
And does anyone know how much longer it is going to take for this nasty drug to work out of my system?

1 dose of 150mg Diflucan/Fluzonazole caused major abdominal and testicular pain for me.

3 weeks later, I am still dizzy and fatigued. It is a dangerous drug. I would avoid it if at all possible.

Nystatin is an alternative and many doctors don't know about it. Try a candida-free diet if you don't want to do another drug.
