Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hello Everyone, Has anyone ever had a problem with Difucan. We had been off for awhile. When we started up again things seemed fine. However looking back now I think we also started having more OCD and Stimminy behavior at the same time. We had gone such a long time without this it is upsetting. Any thoughts would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 , One you might want to do is find out if the Diflucan has been made with different ingredients (i.e. a different filler) than before. Could it have come from a different manufacturer? Also could your child be coming down with an illness? Or could the ingredients have been changed in one of the foods she eats?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Did you use a different generic maker for Diflucan? Is there a difference in the color? Do you use a white pill or does it have pink? How long have you been back on? Is it getting progressively worse (even if subtle)? Although kids can be sensitive to Diflucan itself, it's pretty rare and unusual. More often than not, it's the dye in the med. Also, resistance is possible. What dose are you doing (age and weight too)? Was anything else added at the same time, like a change in probiotics? Lactobacillus can increase OCD. Other naughty gut flora can as well, so it's also entirely possible - and maybe more likely - that when starting back, the gut flora 'balance' was altered, and perhaps re-colonized w/a negative flora (not necessarily a bad one). Were you previously using another antifungal while off the Diflucan? Options - look for dye-free version if not using already, or have compounded dye-free. Trial of erythromycin to see if there's a reduction in symptoms. Change probiotics to straight acidophilus if on anything else, or add if there are no probiotics. There's also the possiblity that strep or mycoplasma are present despite the timing of the switch. I've had lots of times that the timing of something threw me off because I associated the change in behavior due to a change in med. Same thing w/diet ... I don't always question things that I never associated a problem w/before. It can be very frustrating. In my experience, OCD is going to come and go. Just about any bacterial infection is going to set it off, with the occasional respite when the body is 'cooled down'. Be sure to reduce stress and provide some relaxing and deep-body stimulating activities w/a lot of 'proprioceptive input' (carrying heavy objects, stretching, swinging, hanging from a bar or holding upside down by feet, 'wheelbarrow', etc.) to help manage behavior and calm the body and brain. Hope some of that helps find the link. If it hangs in too long, you'll definitely want to do a journal to track it down. --- dazseaton@... wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > Has anyone ever had a problem with Difucan.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 , My son was switched from Nizoral to Diflucan last August and it was HORRIBLE. He HAD TO open-shut/slam doors CONSTANTLY and when he wasn't doing that, he was whining or screaming. For DAYS. Then, it ended, and he was the sweetest, calmest little thing with great eye contact and more language. I have heard deactivated charcoal can be helpful, but we have not tried it. Hang in there!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hi all, I use activated charcoal all the time when my son reacts to a food or is having die-off symptoms. It really works well. He swallows the capsuls without anyone trouble now but in the past I would open the capsules and mix them in pear sauce. We call it monster sauce and he thinks it funny. Good luck if you decide to try it ! >From: " Kristy Nardini " <krnardini@...> >Reply- >< > >Subject: RE: OCD (difucan) >Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2006 07:41:10 -0800 > >, > >My son was switched from Nizoral to Diflucan last August and it was >HORRIBLE.
