«I noticed the effects quite soon after taking. The yellow pills does make me a little sleepy, but not to the point that it interferes with the day to day functions. I have a great deal of runny nose. The congestions has reduced a great deal. However, I missed some doses and I can tell the difference. This products works well for me.»

«The packaging is very easy to open and easy to read. A yellow tablet for the morning and a blue tablet for the evening. It's not much easier than that. I started noticing effects within about 20 minutes. The congestion was breaking up enough that I didn't have to breath from my mouth, which is great. I cannot comment on the longevity of the drugs effectiveness, but so far, so good. I do feel a bit drowsy.»

«Took methotrexate for 6 months after diagnosis for Rheumatoid arthritis, seemed to work fairly well for the pain/stiffness, but I had terrible side effects including nausea, fatigue, mood swings - almost couldn't get to work, coming up stairs felt like my feet weighed 500 pounds each - almost could not function at all. Now going to try in injectable form to see if that will not cause the side effects - hopeful.»

«I have Asthma so maybe it makes it worse . But it came on suddenly with no fever. No change in pulse . Just a cough that hurt the back of my head so bad that it rattled my brain and made me see fireworks in my head . I don't think this z pac worked for me because after laying in bed no energy for 1 week I went to the doc again . This time he prescribed Bactrim and it seems to be working - I'm feeling better. The doc asked if I had a loose stool , no I didn't but my BF has the same symptons and a very loose stool . I just wish he would go to the Doc so we don't pass this back and forth ..Arithamyicin has worked for me in the past but not with whatever this supercough is. Its feeling like nothing ever before is ... I just wonder how contagious it is»

«I was prescribed and took the Azithromycin pack (Z Pack) when I came down with an acute case of Bronchitis. It was the traditional 2 pills at the first dose, and then 1 pill each following day. I started to feel a noticeable improvement by day 3, and was nearly completely better 7-8 days later. The medicine definitely worked for me, however, the side effects were strongly unpleasant. I had severe stomach pains, along with diarrhea, even when I did take the pills with food. Since the pills work for 10 days, i had the side effects for that long too. Overall though, I happy I took the Z pack and it helped cure me quickly.»

«Took the 5 day Z-pack for this bronchitis I have had a month now. After the 1st day I felt great, but then downhill from there. 6 days after finishing it I wound up in the E.R., they gave the Z-pack again...much to my chagrin. I finished it 3 days ago and while I have more energy, my cough is still bad. I know the infection is still there, my white blood cell count is high at 18,000, but they also put me on Prednisone which causes high white blood cell count. So they can't differentiate/determine cause of high white count, if infection or prednisone. Chest x-ray shows bronchitis. Friends who've had bronchitis are suggesting Bactrim, will discuss with my doctor.»

«I had been having a mild sporadic cough for a week and a half before I started having the "under the weather" cold feeling. It started in my chest and was accompanied by body aches, sore throat, and headache from a dry cough. After two days of dry cough and developing Laryngitis from coughing so much, it moved up into my nasal area, where I started finally experiencing mucus. By the third day, I was feeling like crap and had no real appetite. So went to the local clinic. Diagnosed w/ cold, bronchitis, laryngitis. Prescribed a 5 day antibiotic treatment 250mg. The first day I had nausea, diarrhea, racing heartbeat for a couple hrs. I started feeling better after 2 days, kept taking antibiotic, side effects went away & so did the cold. Fast.»

«Had a terrible sinus infection. Got on a Zpack. It takes until day 3 before your really start feeling like it's working. The pack continues to work 10 days after you finish it. I had no tummy problems like I have read on other postings, but I do make sure to eat yogurt everyday when I am on any type of antibiotic. The probiotics in yogurt can keep you from getting loose stools. The one thing that I did notice this time was some dizziness. Never before had that with taking a Zpac. It was not severe dizziness, but enough to make me wonder.»

«I haven't taken an antibiotic for several years because I haven't had a bacterial infection. Over a month ago I came down with a virus but in retrospect it soon evolved into a secondary sinus infection. I respect the avoidance of antibiotics unless symptoms clearly point to bacterial infections, and I was not running a fever, and what my sinus produced did not look foul enough. However, when this didn't abate after close to 5 weeks, even my internist agreed it might be a rare low-grade bacterial infection and gave the green light to try an antibiotic. I started it the day before yesterday and by last night it was the first time in 4 1/2 weeks I got relief from the non-stop post-nasal glob driving me crazy. It couldn't have been more dramatic.»

«I was prescribed this to go along with an antibiotic for a bad case of bronchitis and the beginning of a sinus infection. It made it much easier to breathe and made my flu-like body aches go away within a day of taking it! I felt so much better! As for side effects, I suffer from panic disorder, and taking this medication did make the physical symptoms of that intermittantly worse. I experienced shortness of breath, a few heart palpitations, and felt jittery after taking each pill. As long as I took a small amount of my anxiety medication, I was fine. One very unexpected side effect was a striking increase in my libido. I normally have a very low sex drive. I felt like I was a teenager while on this. I wish I could take this everyday.»

I took a Vicodin an hour ago and it hasn't helped. I'm NEVER using this product again!»

«Used Monistat 1day and like the previous comments I experienced the itching, burning and blistering on day two after usage, symptoms felt better but blistering was still there, for the blisters use pure vitamin e oil .This will help the blisters go away and your skin will heal a lot faster , Just rub it all over vagina, it works like a charm!!»

«I have had a bad yeast infection for a few days, and my mom recommended this. Inserted the one day or night treatment and was hit but 100x more pain and itchiness than before! I was crying and had to dig it out. Going to have to try a different one.»

«Not my first YI rodeo. First time using the ovule.. Intense burning.. Where is the sandpaper when you need it! I was on fire before, but OMG! I sucked it up, the next day was better. Today day 3 very minor symptoms. I guess if you want to only use a one day cure there will be more medication and it seems like more burning. So if you can't handle it use the 3 or 7 day treatment.»

«I'll just discuss the repercussions of this OTC medicine. Without doing any research I purchased Monistat 1 ovule & I regret making such a big mistake. Twenty four hours after using, I had severe swelling, soreness, itching and irritation of the entire vulva. Indescribable pain when I urinated bc my skin had ruptured in certain areas. I thought that I just had a resistant yeast infection, but after seeing my OB/GYN I came to the realization I had an allergic reaction. She thought I had herpes based on my symptoms & an examination, but it's not possible bc I'm married and my husband and I have been faithful. I was basically bed ridden for three days, in debilitating pain. It's been almost a week now and my "lady business" is still healing.»

«I've used Monista 1 Day multiple times in the past. First time ever using it, yes my vaginal was on fire! I wanted to rip my entire section down there out. But the weird thing about Monista is or it could be the severity of my YI, every experience was different for me. There were times where after use of Monista 1 Day for my YI, my infection quickly turned into BV (on two occasions) and in other times I had just mild burning sensation others no symptoms at all. I think the product is most definitely doing its job when there's severe burning and itching but I absolutely believe it depends on you too and the severity of your YI. If you had one bad experience with it, I highly suggest to get the oral pill prescribed by your doctor instead.»

«This is my very first YI. I'm 16 and about 20 minutes after putting the bead in I'm getting lots of discharge which means it's working I think. But it also has began to burn and itch a bit so I go for the anti itch cream and put it on... it immediately is making the burning and itching way more intense. I take a shower because I couldn't stand the feeling. It is still just as bad so I thought I jumped maybe it was t the cream that made it worse. I put the cream back on and it is just a little bit more intense. I've been trying to stick it out the past 20 minutes but it hurts so bad. Would not recommend.»

«Yes it burns, but that's how you know it's working! This is my third time using this particular one and I recommend it over the Monistat 3 or 7.

Worst pain of my life!
«I applied before bed instant burning and stinging like I got bit by fire ants in my vaginia I could only take it for 1 minute before I realized I couldn't take it anymore I jumped in the shower and washed out as much as possible applied some wheat grass lotion to my outer labia took some Tylenol and after a few hours went to bed, woke up with a perfectly healed labia but the inside of my vaginia was swollen and full of red hurtful bumps as well as painful to pee at first, I cried on my way to work and thought omg this is the worst pain ever I have the worst yeast infection ever, day went on and pain subsided, night two same thing that's when I looked online and realized it's the product, I'm throwing this torture cream out!»
Ashjr97
«DONT USE THE CREAM UNLESS YOU WANT TO BURN! The suppository is amazing, it has been clearing everything up great! I got my period the day I started using it, so things have been a bit messy but other than that it's amazing!! However right after putting the cream on after taking a shower and laying in bed the burning started, I've been a bit red and irritated down there(from all the wiping...) so I figured it would help with that and the YI, but oh lord was I wrong. It's hell. I had to go to the bathroom and take another shower just to get it to stop burning. Never use the cream.»
CarrieAnne12241978
«I used this product a few days ago. I didn't experience any pain from it until day 3. The first 2 days just involved a lot of itchiness - extremely intense, like fire ants. The third day was when I experienced pain. It was like a heaviness coupled with an extreme burning. It was very unpleasant, but tolerable. I think the severity of pain and itching directly corolates with how bad the infection is, and I think a small amount of pain is to be expected. If it's serve though, do not continue it, just go see your doc. There are alternatives. Also,don't forget that some std's mimic YI's. If it keeps coming back, it might not be a YI.»

I saw these reviews, but again, no choice. At 1st it wasn't bad, but after 6 mins, it was severe itching & I wondered if I could safely scratch inside with the applicator. I didn't do it, but i was SORELY TEMPTED. There wasn't too much pain, but maybe it's bc I caught mine early. The only reason I fell asleep is bc I'd been awake for so long. Otherwise, there is NO WAY I could have. I'm hoping tomorrow is better. I will try to come back and post again since I have no real choice about taking it.»

I applied the cream, inserted the applicator, etc and brushed my terth. Everything was fine til I laid down, now I'm in utter agony!

«So just as I've read everyone is stating there horrible symptoms.. For me after incerting the application I instantly felt a itching, causing me to freak out and Google if it should cause itching, leading me to this sight. I have a slight pain/ burning, but I removed some of the cream, and will douche the rest out as soon as my boyfriend comes to save the day. My pain is at a 3 more uncomfortable then anything but from reading the comments I thought it would be in my best interest to remove the rest before the pain gets worse.. WOULD NOT RECOMEND AT ALL»

«I was welcoming to a 3 day cure. I was looking forward to getting home, and starting the journey to get rid of the recent issue. It was my first serious yeast infection. I showered. Waited for bed to insert the first application. At 10 I was well now is good as ever. I inserted it. Hard to do because it hurts to actually put in. I'm not sure why, could be it awfully dry. You'd think they'd consider that. But let me TELL you, a discomforting insertion was nothing for the hell I was about to endure. It's a terrible burning sensation. It literally made my legs twinge. It'll fade out and it'll come right back. Fingers crossed it gets the job done with one application because I don't think I can endure another. Good luck to all you ladies!»

«I would never use this product. It took me to the second day before I realized the SEVER itching I felt was from the product and not the yeast infection. I just spent 2 hours in the shower dying from the itching trying to wash it out. Now that I have tried practically everything to get rid of the itch I decided to try the anti itch cream it came with (I didn't want to trust it) and found that it actually works. But just to make sure your not allergic put a bit on so you can wipe it off if it starts to make things worst.»

«I am using the 3 day Combo pack of the suppositories and cream. I was able to go about a week not knowing what was going on. I finally went to the doctor who said to try the 7. I'd like to say that the area was raw, but not from itching/ irritating it myself. I believe many are having issues with burning because of that. I took a shower, laid on my bed inserted the suppository, put on "granny panties" and a light pantyliner and laid there and waited for the pain to start. NEVER happened. Around 30 minutes later I rolled over and went to bed. DID NOT put on the cream though just to not experience double burning. When i woke up in the morning I felt better down there and only had small amount of leakage.Try the suppositories instead of cream»
Can't sit still for long
«I can't believe I paid good money for a product that made my vaginal discomfort A LOT worse than it was before I inserted the cream. Within 5 minutes of inserting it, I got an awful burning sensation in my vagina and on my vulva -- a problem I did not have with the YI. The burning and itching were terrible -- not "you may experience a mild increase in itching and burning" like the product leaflet says -- "mild" MY ASS! I will not be taking the second dose tonight -- that's for sure. Probably head over to the store to pick up some yogurt to soothe things down there. If things aren't better by Monday I'll call my OB/GYN then to hopefully get some relief.»

I can't sleep and I have an ice pack between my legs. My stomach hurts so bad!!! This is worst then the yeast infection it's self. I really hope it works, I also hope this melatonin kicks in soon so I can just pass out. I should have just gone to the doctor because I'm in so much pain.»

I am laying down with my legs open and the itching does seem to kinda die down ! I'll wait and see how I feel tomorrow, I hope when I use the 2nd applicator I don't feel like this. I have hope.»

«Let me share.. A fee days ago I noticed slight irritation at the top of my vaginal opening. I didn't think to much of it as I had changed my cleaning habits and was sure I washed way to hard and to much.. The next day it was itching.no discharge no odor but itching.. I got some anti itch cream and hoped for the best.. Today comes and it's not better but now I have discharge and that's when I knew.. It was a yeast infection..oh goody.. I was already very depressed and this just added to my sadness.. Any who I went and grabbed monistat 3..I've read all the reviews and I was nervous but hey.. I figured no pain no gain.. I am currently lying in bed.. It's been 8 minutes since insertion.. I feel a tingle but I also used the cortisone no pain..yet»

«I read so many horrible reviews of this that I almost didn't try it. Fearing the excruciating pain described by such a majority of reviews, I tried natural remedies. I even tried the "put a clove of garlic up your hooha" method! None of the remedies worked. This medication was a godsend. Please do not fear it. I experienced no pain with this, and it killed the infection dead within a day or two. I was amazed. Many people write about burning pain worse than childbirth, but I want to tell you that I experienced nothing like that. It was easy, painless, and, most importantly, extremely effective. Yeast infection is finallyour gone!»

Seriously, it is the second time that i get an infection, and the first time i took canesten 3 days treatement... this time i tought.. hey why not try this one instead, the pharmacien said it could cure it too.... BIG MISTAKE... my VaJayJay was literally on fire... it has been 4hrs since i took the first pill, and it is still burning... it is unbearable... the itching got 100X worst than the infection itself... it shouldnt be in the market... pure poison...»

«Monistat 3 sucks. I am up right now at 2:56 am writing this review so that you all know not to buy this product. I am currently laying in bed with severe burning down there! I am not pleased at all, this is my first out of 3 days, I don't think I will follow up the "treatment". I read that eating yogurt can clear it up, I'd rather try that then go on with this product.»

«Used the one day ovule pack a couple years ago and had no problem. This time I used 3 day cream... Worst feeling ever. I thought my insides were on fire or bleeding. It will Make you cry yourself to sleep from the pain. Never again. NEVER. Remove this product from The market.»

«I would never use this product. It took me to the second day before I realized the SEVER itching I felt was from the product and not the yeast infection. I just spent 2 hours in the shower dying from the itching trying to wash it out. Now that I have tried practically everything to get rid of the itch I decided to try the anti itch cream it came with (I didn't want to trust it) and found that it actually works. But just to make sure your not allergic put a bit on so you can wipe it off if it starts to make things worst.»

«If you ever use this you are just asking to torture yourself. The monistat itches and burns more than the actual yeast infection I do not recommend this to anyone»

«I am using the 3 day Combo pack of the suppositories and cream. I was able to go about a week not knowing what was going on. I finally went to the doctor who said to try the 7. I'd like to say that the area was raw, but not from itching/ irritating it myself. I believe many are having issues with burning because of that. I took a shower, laid on my bed inserted the suppository, put on "granny panties" and a light pantyliner and laid there and waited for the pain to start. NEVER happened. Around 30 minutes later I rolled over and went to bed. DID NOT put on the cream though just to not experience double burning. When i woke up in the morning I felt better down there and only had small amount of leakage.Try the suppositories instead of cream»

«I can't believe I paid good money for a product that made my vaginal discomfort A LOT worse than it was before I inserted the cream. Within 5 minutes of inserting it, I got an awful burning sensation in my vagina and on my vulva -- a problem I did not have with the YI. The burning and itching were terrible -- not "you may experience a mild increase in itching and burning" like the product leaflet says -- "mild" MY ASS! I will not be taking the second dose tonight -- that's for sure. Probably head over to the store to pick up some yogurt to soothe things down there. If things aren't better by Monday I'll call my OB/GYN then to hopefully get some relief.»

«I have had a YI for about a week, my friend recommended I should try Monistat.. I went to rite aid today & bought it for $18!! I just used it about 40 mins ago & as soon as it was done it started burning worse than it was before, I am in so much pain now. I wish I would have read these reviews before I used this product. :(»
Lord help me please
«I've used this product before, I always get yeast infections when I have to take antibiotics, but OH MY GOSH!!!! MY VAGINA IS ON FIRE I SWEAR, I cried for an hour and screamed into my pillow. I can't sleep and I have an ice pack between my legs. My stomach hurts so bad!!! This is worst then the yeast infection it's self. I really hope it works, I also hope this melatonin kicks in soon so I can just pass out. I should have just gone to the doctor because I'm in so much pain.»

«I've had a Y.I before and I used a store brand cream and it went away, I didn't experience any burning or itching after applying the cream, well I got a yeast infection again, this time I got the Monistat 3 day pack, and I applied it and I swear I'm feeling more itchy than I did before I even used the treatment, I did read that its bound to happen, but shoot I felt like I was better off with out it! I am laying down with my legs open and the itching does seem to kinda die down ! I'll wait and see how I feel tomorrow, I hope when I use the 2nd applicator I don't feel like this. I have hope.»

«Let me share.. A fee days ago I noticed slight irritation at the top of my vaginal opening. I didn't think to much of it as I had changed my cleaning habits and was sure I washed way to hard and to much.. The next day it was itching.no discharge no odor but itching.. I got some anti itch cream and hoped for the best.. Today comes and it's not better but now I have discharge and that's when I knew.. It was a yeast infection..oh goody.. I was already very depressed and this just added to my sadness.. Any who I went and grabbed monistat 3..I've read all the reviews and I was nervous but hey.. I figured no pain no gain.. I am currently lying in bed.. It's been 8 minutes since insertion.. I feel a tingle but I also used the cortisone no pain..yet»

«I read so many horrible reviews of this that I almost didn't try it. Fearing the excruciating pain described by such a majority of reviews, I tried natural remedies. I even tried the "put a clove of garlic up your hooha" method! None of the remedies worked. This medication was a godsend. Please do not fear it. I experienced no pain with this, and it killed the infection dead within a day or two. I was amazed. Many people write about burning pain worse than childbirth, but I want to tell you that I experienced nothing like that. It was easy, painless, and, most importantly, extremely effective. Yeast infection is finallyour gone!»

«I was on antibiotics for a UTI which gave me a yeast infection. I've had them in the past and they haven't been too troublesome, although I'd never used Monistat to treat them. I applied some externally and immediately it BURNED. Within minutes it felt like someone had rubbed a ghost pepper on my bits or like there were thousands of tiny needles stabbing me. The itching and stinging was unbearable and lingered for hours after I had removed the cream. I could only tolerate 2 days of it. I took one dose of Fluconazole which was a godsend and almost immediately resolved the itchiness but I'm still a little irritated down there. Find 2% Miconazole Nitrate gel in some other form-- do NOT use Monistat unless you want a bad time.»

«I had used this product before and never had a problem. It seemed to help clear up the infection quite quickly. But I recently got another yeast infection and decided to use the product again. I would not reccomend it at all. I got intense burning in my lower region. It got so uncomfortable within about 5 minutes that I had to take a shower and wipe all the medicine out. Afterwards I was still in pain. Do not get monistat. At all. Yeast infections already itch and monistat made it 100 times worse, plus insane burning. Hopefully I won't have any rashes or swelling like the others. Definently go see a doctor and get a prescription.»

«You guys this was rough for me! First time having a yeast infection and first time trying this product. I was in agony! After the first 5 to 10 minutes of application I burned and itched soooo bad!! It took me about an hour behind flushing my girl with water, washing with a mild glycerin bar soap and finally packing with ice and a washcloth before I experienced relief. I would not recommend this product. The cream that you apply on the outside of the vagina seems to provide a measure of comfort for itching but the application insert definitely burns! I can't do the full seven days. 2:25am 8/24/16»

I still have some inside me, which I can tell since there's still a slight itch & burn, but omg never again. worst pain of my entire life!!»

«Thank you so much, ladies, this thread practically saved me last night. I haven't used it the product before and did not know what to expect. I used it yesterday before going to bed. Omg, it was itching and burning so badly that I could not sleep!!! I can't even imagine what is happening when it is 1 or 3 day treatment?! After 20 minutes of rolling and jumping I started reading reviews, and I was shocked to see how many women experienced the same! So, it made me feel a little better and after an hour of hugging an ice pack I passed out. Half of the next day I still felt some burning, not that intense, but i decided not to use Monistat again just for my own sake. Got Clotrimazole today - no itching and any discomfort!»

«I had a yeast infection for the past 3 days, went to my doctor and be gave me the one time pill that usually relieves symptoms in 24 hours. It didnt so I bought monistat-7. I did exactly as the instructions said and waited to insert before bed. I layed down immediately after and instantly the itching was intensifying by the second. I had a burning sensation. I'm in tears rolling back and forth in bed. I took a shower and tried to push the rest out and it helped but it definitely didn't go away. I work at 6am and it's almost 12am. Wish me luck!

«Worst pain in the world. I used only one applicator from the monistat 7 pack and it burns like hell. The need to want to take it all out and rip off my area. Im in tears over the burning. Is it supposed to do that ? Is there a way of soothing that burning sensation from the treatment.? Totally not a happy camper .»

«Within 3 minutes of inserting the 7 day cream, I started to experience burning. It increased by the minute until it was unbearable burning. I took a shower trying to get all of it out, that didn't help. At this point it was 2 in the morning and I was experiencing one of the worst pains of my life. The extreme burning was actually causing pain. I ended up going to the ER. Not ever using Monistat again. Really recommend researching before using any topical cream.»

It was only a minute after applying the treatment and I was in excruciating pain. Burning and itching. Rolling on the bed holding myself while crying. The worst of it was over relatively quickly. I decided to get in the shower and try to get most of it out and 30 minutes later it is tolerable. Still some itching but much better now. I'm not sure if it's painful because it's working or not but I do know I will not be continuing the treatment. Going to call my doctor and see if they recommend anything.»
