Miconazole topical "I have read through many comments. I have been using Monistat products for years. It takes three days. No matter which product you are using, for a yeast infection to start clearing up and 7 days for completion. So whether you are using a pill, egg, cream, garlic, oil, or oregano... three days. Upon insertion on the first day, you will get backlash fire pits of hell feeling. This is the medication attacking the yeast infection. It will burn, sting, throb, swell your lips, and itch 10 times more. Do your treatments at night. Wear a thin panty liner. Use the lotion 3 times a day. Be brave... lol come on, ladies."

Miconazole topical "Ugh! First time ever experiencing a YI so I did the day 1 the ovule! I couldn't hold my pee in and some cream came out! I was going crazy and thinking it wasn’t going to work. Moments later the burning and itching started! The only thing that is making me feel better is reading all these comments knowing I'm not alone! Also first time using Monistat don’t think I'll use it again"

Miconazole topical "I am so happy to see these reviews! Not happy for everyone, just glad to know I am not alone! I used Monistat 1 last night before bed (June 3rd). So it has been 24 hours. Today around lunch, I started itching like CRAZY!!! I ended up going back to the store for Vagisil cream and wipes just for some extra relief. I am still itching, but they help. How long does it take to stop?! I've read between 3 and 7 days? Anyone on the tail end? Feeling relief? Please tell me it gets better... wow! Good luck, ladies!!"

Miconazole topical "I had to take a 7-day course of antibiotics for a UTI and started noticing that dreaded itch and pain down yonder. I decided since this has happened in the past, to use the tube filled cream inserts. At first, it was uncomfortable just sticking anything up there, but I didn’t feel any worse. I went to bed and woke up around 2:30 am to pee, but when I got back into bed, HOLY MOLY! I’m guessing being upright and sitting on the toilet let some of the cream run down, and NO ONE IS EXAGGERATING!! I thought someone doused my insides with acid! I've sat here reading and laughing at all your reviews in between pulsating rounds of hell, knowing I was not insane all the while clutching at my vag, trying hard not to scream in pain. It’s now 4 am, and although sleep-deprived and traumatized, the burning and pain have subsided gradually. Stick it out if you can, if not, you’ll eventually pass out from the pain and get some sleep"

Miconazole topical "I used the Equate generic brand of the Monistat one-dose egg, same exact dosage and ingredients compared to Monistat, along with the external cream that comes with the egg. Two hours after inserting it, an increase in burning and itching happened. It wasn’t unbearable like some of these reviews are saying. I was able to fall asleep still, and when I woke up the next morning, I had no itchiness in my vagina or yeast infection feeling. It’s been a week now, and my infection is gone. If you are sensitive and can’t handle an increase in uncomfortability, then I suggest you see a doctor. If you don’t want to end up with a bill, just use Monistat over-the-counter and be a little bit more uncomfortable for a few hours to kill off your yeast infection. 10 out of 10, I would recommend it to someone to use."

Miconazole topical "27 weeks pregnant with a yeast infection. My doc recommended that I use Monistat 7. My first day burned like lava!! I almost went to the ER. 2nd day not so bad, but now I'm on my 3rd day and the burning with intense itching is back!! So uncomfortable, I can barely stand it... I honestly don't know how I'm going to get through the whole 7 days..."

Miconazole topical "I was TERRIFIED of using Monistat after reading the comments, but fortunately I didn't have the horrible burning. I had more problems getting the suppository inside. After about 2 mins, it started itching, but I just used the cream on the outside, and all was good. I laid down and waited what seemed like forever for the burning to start, but it didn't. I felt a few tingles but no burning. Just try it for yourself, everybody is different."

Miconazole topical "The only thing getting me through this literal nightmare of a situation is reading these comments and knowing I’m not alone. I took Monistat 1 when I was younger and I’m not sure if my pain tolerance has lowered after childbirth, or if they changed the formula, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. Unless you want to be up at 2 am holding yourself with a wash rag trying to search ways to get the demon out of you."

Miconazole topical "This is insane! The excruciating burning and swelling I am going through is 10 times worse than the itching and burning from the infection. There is no way in high heaven that a female doctor had anything to do with this menace to vaginas everywhere. I am lying in bed after trying to wash off as much of this as I could, and now with an ice pack directly in between my legs! This should not even be on the market anymore because I've been reading these awful reviews from last year. What the heck? Monistat, take us seriously! Do not use this product if you value your sanity and are not into self-torture."

Miconazole topical "I am on the third hour of my first night taking Monistat 3, and I’m ready to rip my lady parts out. The burning and itching intensified by 10,000 five minutes after inserting it and is VERY SLOWLY calming down, and it’s driving me insane! I wish I would have read the reviews first. Not recommended."

Miconazole topical "I get yeast infections frequently, and I have always just used generic brands. I never had a bad experience. Yesterday, I bought Monistat for the first time ever, and I will never use it again because it put me in so much pain. Usually, I just insert the generic brand and go right to sleep, but not even a minute after I started feeling a burning/scratching sensation, and it kept getting worse. I wasn’t even scratching myself, and my lady bits started to swell. I tried to get as much as I could out of me, and then the only reason I was able to fall asleep was that I laid a cold compress on myself. I even woke up this morning, and right away, I felt fine until I went to the bathroom, and the burning sensation started again, and I began to swell. I will never use this product again, and I don’t think any women should. Any girl reading this, you need to just get a generic brand because you will get rid of your yeast infection pain-free."

Miconazole topical "First and second nights with Monistat 3 were pure torture. Intense burning. I literally couldn't sleep, that's how bad it was. I used the external cream and thought that was making things worse, my poor vag was hanging and swollen. I could barely walk. I decided to just stick with it. Sitting in a tub of hot water helped, which is weird relief to a burning vag. I only noticed relief when I washed up for bed. I guess the burn means it's working. After the second night, my swelling went down. I could walk without looking like a cowboy. The third night of treatment was the best night in comparison. There was mild burning, but I could get some sleep. I've completed the 3-day treatment. I still have a little itchiness and soreness. I will continue to use the cream on the outside 2 times a day until my itchiness goes away. Despite the lava journey, it seemed to work. They lose major stars for the pain. They need to get back in the lab and develop a gentler approach or at least provide numbing cream. Sheesh!"

Miconazole topical "I used this product, Monistat 7, for three days. The first night I was fine, then night two everything was on fire. The third night I couldn't go through it anymore, so I went to the ER. Everything was five times the size down there, and it was on fire - I was in so much pain. You know what I don’t understand? Why can they keep selling this stuff if there are so many girls saying this is happening to them?"

Miconazole topical "Don't do it! I inserted the Monistat last night at 9 PM and woke up at 4:30 AM and 7 AM with the most intense burning and itching. Sat on the toilet with a washcloth, and reading these reviews is the only thing that makes it better. Praying for you."

Miconazole topical "I have had a yeast infection before and used Monistat 1, which is the pill-like insertion, and it was heaven! It went away so fast, no burning, no smearing, no discomfort. This time I got the infection again, like 2 years later, and I got Monistat 7, and oh my goodness, it's a literal living nightmare. It makes it so itchy, and I was squirming for like 10 minutes because I couldn't stand the irritation. I had to wipe it completely off, and I'm trying to pee it out because it's making it worse. I would never recommend Monistat 7 to anybody, always Monistat 1, ladies!!!"

Miconazole topical "Monistat should be ashamed for putting this on shelves. I took it at about 10 PM and woke up at midnight feeling like someone had sprayed an entire can of pepper spray on my vagina, then lit a match. I literally googled “unbearable burning, itching, and pain after Monistat.” DO NOT USE IT. I am writing this review while laying in the shower, vagina up, trying to rinse this godforsaken stuff out of my vagina."

Miconazole topical "I am no stranger to yeast infections. My grandmother made me use a suppository egg when I was about 12. Needless to say, I was a virgin so that was definitely a no-go. That was a bad experience, so I've always gotten the off-brand suppository creams because they were the cheapest and they worked great. However, tonight I tried the Monistat brand for the first time. As soon as I inserted it and laid down, it burnt like hell all while I'm trying so hard not to scratch my vagina. I immediately googled my symptoms, and here I am writing a review. The pain lasted for about a good hour, but dying laughing at most of these reviews helped me cope with the pain."

Miconazole topical "Same as many, have used Monistat for years and never had it burn like this. They must have really botched a formula change or something. I'd sign up for a class action lawsuit, this is traumatic when one is already awkwardly uncomfortable."

"I'm 30 years old and had my first yeast infection in my life. I wasn't sure what to use, so I bought the Miconazole 1200 mg. About 15 minutes after insertion, I had a terrible itching and burning, so awful I couldn't sit still. I thought I was having a reaction to it until I read everyone's comments."

Miconazole topical "I am abandoning this treatment on day three because it is extraordinarily uncomfortable to use - it basically feels like a combination of ants biting my cervix and a case of poison ivy in my vagina. It is worse than the yeast infection itself. I suffered through the first couple of days, which were pretty bad, but tonight I just couldn’t take it, and I used my bidet to try to rinse as much of this Monistat hot sauce out of me as possible. It was either that or felt like using a scratcher up in there to try to ease the itch and pain."

Miconazole topical "Ok, let me tell you all, I am absolutely squirming. A smoke filled the house. I have been questioned why there is smoke, and I must say it is coming from my Verushka. A tribe has shown up at my house believing there was a smoke signal. It is 1:16 AM, and the fire department has sent in backup."

Miconazole topical "It says that it may mildly increase itching, burning, and irritation, but I swear it’s severe! I was hardly itchy before using this product, like the infection had just begun, and this made it 10 times worse! I would never use this again, I wanted to cry. I couldn’t do anything but lay down."

Miconazole topical "After inserting, I did my nightly routine and went to sleep. I woke up at midnight to pee. I forgot I had the medicine in. Oh my goodness, that pee was the worst pain ever. It felt like I was peeing out lava. Wiping hurt too. I went back to bed with burning! Slight cramping. Now, I have used this product before. It's only day 1, and I can't sleep. My estimate is that it's raw inside my hooha due to the YI. That could explain the burning. Thankfully, I'm not itching as much. The pain is a solid 8.5, and I'm going to take some Advil. Hopefully, that eases the pain a bit. This time, I WILL complete the full 7 days. Good luck to me and whoever else is dealing with this!!!!!"

Miconazole topical "Night one is very intense, burning and itching immediately, makes you want to crawl out of your skin. It lasted maybe 15-20 min, then it subsided. The next morning I felt better, all the symptoms slowed down. You must wear a panty liner throughout the day. Night 2 and 3 were much better!!! Glad to hear I wasn't the only one. It works, but you must suffer a bit."

Miconazole topical "I’ve only ever used doctor-prescribed medication to get rid of a YI. I didn’t have time to go to the doctor, so I went to the drug store and got Monistat 3. I had no idea what to expect, but I inserted as directed. After a couple of minutes, the burning and itching were unbearable. I thought for sure something was wrong, so I got up and read the box. Some burning and itching can occur. It’s a nightmare. But it’s doing its job. Thank goodness for all these comments that let me know that I’m not alone. But I want my YI gone, so I will do this for the other two doses!!!"
