I started back on diflucan a few days ago for yeast and have felt really rotten the past couple of days.

I'm not on any abx right now.

I wondered if anyone knew if diflucan can make you feel that bad?

Maybe yeast die-off? I've also heard it works on lyme, is that true?

Anyone else had a similar experience?

Thanks.

Diflucan happens to be one of the drugs that makes me the most sick. The die off of systemic yeast is awful. I now take 1/4 pill and I can tolerate it, so I try to work it into the program and will continue to try to slowly increase . . . [Smile] Diflucan CAN make you feel that bad!! But I believe you will feel better afterward--I do.

My son got worse on it, and the doctor and I believe it was a die off. He had absence seizures and headaches the first few days of being on it. He wasn't on an antibiotic yet either.

Ok, I was thinking the same things. I don't mind feeling bad if there's some light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks.

If it makes you sick, gotta be yeast.

Yeast toxins are really similar to alcohol, so watch for dizzyness, fatigue, nausea, weakness, ect...

Must mean it's working! I've had all the above except the dizziness.

I felt awful on my diflucan yeast herx. All my yeast symptoms got worse. Everything itched more. Full body pain. Bad fatigue.

It went away. Hang in there!
