"No side effects at all, 33-year-old male with candida in groin, on my 2nd dose and I see and feel a big difference. The candida is going away, I might need one more dose, in case, to prevent. But no side effects on me, and I'm on Lexapro, beta blockers."

"After nine years with a fungal infection on the skin, I was given 100 MG/week for a month. I already took the last pill of the course, and all it has done so far is turn the spots pink and make them slightly bigger, and some itched more often (although one looks like it's starting to disappear)! But the side effects! Oh, the side effects! After the first pill, I felt extremely dizzy, headachy, and nauseous for an hour after bedtime. The next day, I had little appetite that only recovered that evening. The next two times, I took two Rolaids, which helped with the nausea. That left the headache to contend with all day the day after I took the pill. I took two ibuprofen three times to combat the headaches on the last pill. What a joke!"

"This is a very harsh drug... that I do not wish to ever take again... and I cautioned anyone that takes this drug. It made me dizzy... very tired... I took it for a whole month three times a week... my doctor says the symptoms should go away... but I still feel tired and do not have the energy that I did before I took it. I also have severe bloating and gas. It has been weeks and the symptoms have not gone away... I'm getting very worried that it cost me damage to my liver... again, I will say I do not think the drug should be on the market... I regret ever taking it... took it for scalp eczema... because I am going through menopause... believe me, the scalp eczema is nothing compared to the side effects... caution everyone to do not take this drug!"
