side effects of monistat 1

Guest over a year ago

I am so happy I found this blog when I woke up at 2:30am after using monostat 1 before going to bed the night before.. It is now about 10am the morning after and I feel almost normal! I wanted to give some people HOPE that things will get better! I have NEVER itched and burned from anything so bad in my life! At 4 am I took a Benadryl and filled a ziplock with ice and placed it between my legs (wore sweats too) and FINALLY fell asleep! Upon awaking a few minutes ago the only real side effect is from my Benadryl (sleeply). Thanks to previous posts I knew to do this. it worked and I am beyond THANKFUL! No itching and sleep was heaven! No itching so far this morning either! Thanks to all of you that took the time post things to try!!! NEVER using Monstat EVER again! I'll use the cheap LOWER dose versions in the future that I've always used before With no issues!

I used Trojan Ultra Sensitive/Thin Spermadical lubricated ones. 15$ for a box of 25. It must have been them!

Monistat One - Why is this terrible product still on the market??? Worst idea ever. My hooHa is on fire and feels significantly more uncomfortable than not using it at all. Returning it to the store (Walgreen's) and letting them know it's a terrible product and should be pulled from their shelves.

Totally agree!! I don't know why I even bought the Monistat! Guess b/c that big ole "1" for 1 dose was on the front and I needed this gone. HUGE MISTAKE!! Never ever again will I buy Monistat! Give me the lower dose longer time versions anytime. I did the bath, advil and crying....now my husband is out buying Benadryl at 2:00 am and I'm gonna try the ice trick and add a fan too. Thank you to everyone for their posts. Y'all have truly been a huge help!!

Just inserted the ovule about an hour and a half ago and there is definitely some burning going on. Not as intense as I thought butting is definitely there. I typically have a yeast infection once a month due to my type one diabetes. I thought this would've been a good purchase due to the fact my YIs are VERY intense, but due to the uncomfortability of the product I will never again but it.

I always put an ice pack or frozen veggies with nightie pants on. Pretty soon you'll have no itch.

I'm 51 and have only had 2-3 yeast infections ever. I bought and used monistat 1 today and used the cream externally. In a word....UNBEARABLE. Worst burning pain, redness, swelling, I've ever experienced in my life. And, I even have lidocaine 4% burn relief gel I keep using to numb the area it's so bad. From what I've read, be patient and use the lower dose monistat, it's better tolerated. But even the cream that's supposed to give you external relief burned a lot. It's been about 6 hrs, I'm so hoping I get a lot of relief by morning. I feel for all of you going through this, it's hell!!

Keep reading, I found a solution to the horrible burn from Monistat 1.
Ok, I rarely get a yeast infection but I'm pretty sure an antibiotic given during a recent surgery caused my flare up. I fought it for a few days with the Azo yeast as I have in the past but to no avail. So I decided today to do what my mother had to me years ago to do, Monistat. Now like most on here, I thought the 1 day was a good thing... WRONG. I'm WORSE. I was in the floor of my bathroom just now, crying, praying, begging... I wiped off as much as I could and remembered something I read online about homeopathic treatments for yeast infections. And I have found something that has finally cooled the itch and burn so I can sleep now! Coconut oil! Slather your nether regions with some cold pressed, raw, virgin, organic coconut oil. You can thank me later :)
