I would like to know any and all side effects to this particular medication. I have been experiencing stomach ache, headache, low back ache, palpitations, taste, nausea. Are these normal side effects? and if not, should I stop taking them. Of course, you can't reach a doctor over the weekend. I have taken 9 doses in 10 days. I forgot to take my normal dose on Friday night and felt great the next day but took one last night when I realized that I had missed a dose, and woke up in the middle of the night feeling sick again. This has been going going on for the last 3 or 4 doses. The reaction usually occurs 4-6 hours after taking the pill.
You poor thing, I only had to take 2 doses of it. I can't imagine taking it for that long. The pharmacist had told me it could make you feel sick and if it does to take it with food. I did find this online though:
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose. What happens if I overdose? Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. Symptoms of a Diflucan overdose may include confusion or unusual thoughts or behavior. What should I avoid while taking Diflucan?

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. What other drugs will affect Diflucan?

Wow, I guess there isn't much I need to add, thank you for providing that excellent information.
i took one 150mg tablet and 4 hours later i had a seizure! iv never had one before and am sure it was a reaction to this drug. if the same happens to you, please report it online to the drug regulator site as this is a dangerous and scary side effect!
