Dear Nathan,
You have TWO anti-depressants?
That could explain the voices.
I am not an expert.....just pointing out a concern.

Yes. My doctor thinks its necessary to have the one to help me sleep and the other for the depression. I think she said they are different types of drugs not like taking zoloft and celexa together.

Nausea is a side effect I assume? Its still here and REALLY annoying. Its just like my early pregnancy nasea- constant and knawing and also feels "in my head" if that makes sense.

Hi,
Diflucan can cause nausea. It can interact with other drugs too.

I've been taking Diflucan 3 pills per week, one week a month for several months now. I even took it WRONG the first time and took 3 months worth in ONE month! (every other day ffor several weeks! But that was a few months ago.) Never noticed this. I will look at your link.

call the dr on Monday

The most common side effect for people taking more than one dose is nausea.

For women taking a single dose ...the most common side effects are abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, and nausea; changes in taste, dizziness, and indigestion may occur less often.

Hmm. Well I DID take a dose today. I also took one Wednesday. I often wonder if EVERy drug does give people nausea, dry mouth, constipation, and ... all the same thing. lol It is the same dose as before and I never noted it. I also have had episodes of spitting up- not exactly throwing up. I think that might be coffee. Just randomly.

I just looked at my sheet that came with my Depakote. It listed dizziness, nausea, and termor which I've had . Unfortunately, it also sas a serious side effect is chest pain which I had yesterday morning but it seemed to go away and I didn't even think of the meds.

I thought diflucan was only used to treat yeast infections...and that it was a once dose prescription.....
not 3xweek ongoing use.
I do not understand this at all.

For vaginal infections
The usual treatment is a single 150-milligram dose.

For throat infections

The usual dose for candidiasis of the mouth and throat is 200 milligrams on the first day, followed by 100 milligrams once a day. You should see results in a few days, but treatment should continue for at least 2 weeks to avoid a relapse. For candidiasis of the esophagus (gullet) the usual dose is 200 milligrams on the first day, followed by 100 milligrams once a day. A dose of 400 milligrams a day can also be taken if your infection is more severe. Treatment should continue for a minimum of 3 weeks and for at least 2 weeks after symptoms have stopped.

For systemic (bodywide) infections

Doses of up to 400 milligrams per day are sometimes prescribed.

For urinary infections and peritonitis

Doses range from 50 to 200 milligrams per day.

For cryptococcal meningitis

The usual dose is 400 milligrams on the first day, followed by 200 milligrams once a day. Treatment should continue for 10 to 12 weeks once tests of spinal fluid come back negative. For AIDS patients, a 200-milligram dose taken once a day is recommended to prevent relapse.

Prevention of candidiasis during bone marrow transplantation

The usual dose is 400 milligrams once a day.

If you have kidney disease, your doctor may have to reduce your dosage.

I see two potential problems with nausea as a

warning:

1) use of Celexa and trazadone has the potential of causing serotonin syndrome:

You searched for interactions between the following drugs:

(Note: Not all drug interactions are known or reported in the literature, and new drug interactions are continually being reported. This information is provided only for your education and for you to discuss with your personal healthcare provider. )

CITALOPRAM (in Celexa) may interact with TRAZODONE (in Desyrel)

Both citalopram and trazodone have an effect on serotonin, a chemical that is found in the brain. Excess levels of serotonin in the brain may cause serious or potentially life-threatening side effects. Early signs of this problem include increased confusion and restlessness. Other possible symptoms may include weakness, fever, nausea, and anxiety. In rare cases, high levels of serotonin in the brain may cause severe complications like seizures, stroke, and even death. If citalopram and trazodone are used together, it may be best to start with very low doses of each drug under the careful supervision of your doctor. Ask your healthcare provider about these drugs and this potential interaction as soon as possible.

This interaction is poorly documented and is considered major in severity.

Since you take TWO drugs that raise serotonin, I would caution against using any cold/cough product containing dextromethorphan (DM), since serious
reactions are possible there too.

Also:
2) Depakote + Diflucan (this is considered a high dose scenario)
Depakote can have a negative effect on liver functions.
Diflucan also:

Quote:

Hepatobiliary: In combined clinical trials and marketing experience, there have been rare cases of serious hepatic reactions during treatment with fluconazole. (See WARNINGS.) The spectrum of these hepatic reactions has ranged from mild transient elevations in transaminases to clinical hepatitis, cholestasis and fulminant hepatic failure, including fatalities. Instances of fatal hepatic reactions were noted to occur primarily in patients with serious underlying medical conditions (predominantly AIDS or malignancy) and often while taking multiple concomitant medications. Transient hepatic reactions, including hepatitis and jaundice, have occurred among patients with no other identifiable risk factors. In each of these cases, liver function returned to baseline on discontinuation of fluconazole.

from http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/flucon_ad.htm

Since both drugs can affect liver functions, this should be aggressively checked with blood tests. The first signs of liver involvement can be nausea.
Your use of Diflucan is considered atypical, and if you have chronic Candida issues, they can be addressed differently. Some Candida can be resistant to
drugs with time. If you have resistant Candida taking the Diflucan exposes you to risks, with little or no benefit. So please discuss this with your doctor.

Nausea can be a simple symptom, and temporary. Or it can be a sign that
yours meds need looking at more carefully.

Yes, the Diflucan for vaginal yeast because it seemed to come just before my period every month and the one dose did not work. This was for 4 months. Didn't use it last month because I guess I didn't have a period OR a yeast infection. This was before adding Depakote or Trazadone.

The Trazadone is supposed to be for sleep but I have not taken it the last two nights. I do feel better at the moment, but now I feel I should've called on the chest pain Friday afternoon. I didn't even think to look at the sheet. Also, my breasts feel bigger and/or fuller.'
