Seems like sometimes when I take my Diflucan, I feel a rush a symptoms..

Within 10 minutes, I hurt all over, feel nausea, aggitated, flu-like..then later feel all better.

Is this a possible herx or just all in my mind? Anybody? [confused]

Diflucan causes a die off too....of yeast which releases toxins. So yes

You can herx on it. I have.

It is also a recommended protocol for lyme...

I am on a diflucan protocol right now.

Hugs,

I've noticed that my symptoms seem worse after starting Diflucan about 20 days ago(been on anitbiotics about eight months).

Hurting all over, nausea, agitation, and flu-like symptoms are not all in your head! I herxed to the extreme on diflucan before knowing I had lyme. My doctor gave it to me for systemic candida, but I'm certain it also killed lyme.

I couldn't function and I was in massive misery, but my doctor told me to stick with it. I wanted to get well so badly, that I did. Later I learned that kicking one's self to the gutter during treatment is not necessary nor helpful. Needless to say, I have a new doctor now. But, yes, it can cause herxing.

Take care.

I just started diflucan 5 days ago.. I didnt think I had a yeast problem at all.. but now I have a yeast infection, which I have never had one before.. I guess its part of a die off.. I didnt think you can have die off with diflucan.. its really good to know that Iam not going crazy
