hi, f21 here. i was prescribed diflucan for a yeast infection after taking metroconazole for bv, which later turned into yeast. i took it may 13th, had really bad dizzy spells, anxiety, nausea, fatigue, rapid heart rate, and just out of it.

i read that the drug was supposed to last 7 days. it’s been 8 now and i still feel terrible mentally. the yeast is gone, but i feel so disconnected, disoriented, and still dizzy. my vision is messed up and i cant focus on anything im doing, making work extremely difficult. im extremely forgetful, have no motivation, i feel like im literally in a dream. i never felt this bad before. did it cause a deficiency in something? what can i do?

any answer would be extremely appreciated because im so scared i messed up my brain by taking this.

hello, f21 here. i’ve been on lithium for about 9 years now. 300 mg, no issues. but i recently was prescribed an antibiotic called diflucan when i went to the med center. 2 days after taking it, i started experiencing the worst symptoms of my life: i can’t concentrate, i don’t feel real, im so dizzy and nauseous, my mind won’t stop spiraling, i don’t want to do anything, im exhausted, my anxiety is sky high.

it has been 7 days since i took the diflucan and i am still so dizzy, nothing looks/feels real, i can’t focus or think. it should’ve stopped by now. my work life is deteriorating.

has anyone have anything life this happen to them after an antibiotic? is this something to go to the ER for? i’m genuinely scared and feel like i’m losing my mind, im praying i am hopefully not going into psychosis or something.
