DiFlucan, Candida, What is wrong with me?
by JCmcc, Apr 11, 2007 12:00AM
Does anyone on here know anything about Candida?
My physician is both an ND and an MD therefore he believes in and treats Candidiasis.
He has prescribed DiFlucan and I have been on it for a week and a half.
The first side effect, after 3 days, was a corpus callosum headache which spread to both cerebral hemispheres. It was ugly.
And then, massive fatigue for a day and a half.
As of yesterday it went to horribel constipation, a steel gripping stomach, and odd gas.
Belching, which nearly leads to vomitting, and the smell is hurrendous.
It smells like a sewer, a toilet, and that is a mild description.
Flagellation comes out like an air bubble being decompressed and sounds like a bomb.
Am I dying here? Should I stop DiFlucan? Is this normal for Candida?
HELP!

Well candida has many names but is commonly known as a yeast infection. Diflucan is the most common treatment for a yeast infection. It should only be 1 dosage by oral treatment. What did you Doctor actually give you? Do you have the name of it? Is it Fluconazole? Some adverse reactions and side effects to this pill are: headaches, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, nausea, and vomitting. If you are taking any antidepressants or anything with benzodiazepines it can increase the effects from this medication. If this is vagubak candidiasis then it should just be a 150mg -single dosage. If any of your symptoms have gotten worse or if you notice any dark urine, unusual fatigue, if your diarrhea becomes pronouced, abdominal pain becomes unbearable, fever, nausea or vomitting do not improve after a few days of using this medication, please see your physician again as soon as possible.
I hope this helps in some way!
Feel Better!
