Guest guest Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 My daughter was switched from Nizoral to Diflucan about 10 days ago. First 5 days I did not notice any changes, so I reported back to Dr.Goldberg saying that I did not see any changes. But next 5 days... She seems to be very agitated and extremely stimmy. Yesterday, we could not even work with her, she flapped her hands up to 70 seconds non-stop and we could not interuped it. She had a very bad sleeping pattern to start with (2-3 hours to fall asleep but at least she slept through the night). Benadryl seemed to help a lot. Last 5 days even Benadryl does not help. Two days in a row she sleeps for about 3-4 hours. Today she missed school because I could not wake her up (fell asleep at 1:00 AM, woke up at 4:00 AM and was up until 7:30 AM). I am not sure if any of it has to do with Diflucan or all of it has to do with Diflucan. Is it possible that her body got used to Benadryl and it does not work any more? Can it be that Benadryl and Diflucan do not work together? How can it be that first 5 days I did not see any changes at all? Can it be that it is not Diflucan at all? Did anybody else had experience with swithing from Nizarol to Diflucan? ________________________________________________ Responsibility for the content of this message lies strictly with the original author, and is not necessarily endorsed by or the opinion of the Research Institute.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 Bella, I am not a doctor nor do I have medical training. See a physician for medical advice. When taking Diflucan (to treat for fungus, I presume?) You can sometimes see what is called the Herxeimer affect (I think it is spelled) which is a die off of the fungus that increases the toxin level in the patient's system and manifests itself as increased stimming and Autistic behaviors. Ask your doctor if this could be what you are seeing. It should be a temporary phenomena as the the rest of the fungus is eliminated. J. P.
