How To Cure Yeast Infections Due To Antibiotics While On Adderall?

Adderall is causing my yeast infections! I ve heard of doctors telling women that its not common, but now that I have spent alot of time researching this, I have found I m not the only one. Antibiotics with adderall is not something to be mixed. I don t want to take antibiotics anyways, because prior to taking adderall I had chronic yeast infections; I was rx antibiotics many times and the result has been that I have developed a super resistant yeast infection. The infection has been impossible to kill. I m open to just going off the adderall for a couple weeks to doctor my yeast infection with antibiotics and being persistant in taking probiotics after I (hopefully) kill it. However, I m concerned about what to do after that. I m not going to go off my adderall permanently. Adderall has changed my life for the better, I m not even the same person, and I m in love with the new person I ve become: I even got a 3.9 GPA, with the help of adderall. Things I have tried: I drink at least 3 bottles of water a day, I typically stay away from dairy (I might have cheese on things, but I never consume lots of milk, ice cream, yogurt, etc.), I ve tried to do the probiotic yogurt to help good yeast grow (however I only helped the super yeast bug come back and become much worse). I have had success with taking garlic pills (natural supplement that kills yeast), but it also kills good yeast. How can I maintain a healthy vaginal chemistry while on adderall? Is there a combination of garlic supplements and probiotics (pills, yogurt) that I could take on a regular basis?

Buddy I appreciate your concern.I know few people who come to clinic use ADDERALL.I generally prescribe it for ADHD(attention deficit hyper active disorder) or in cases of Narcolepsy(excess daytime sleepiness,loss of muscle tone suddenly).But the drug components of ADDERALL(amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) are having abusive property.I think you are going through the phase where adderall made you worried and the yeast infection is nothing to do with it.So please follow the suggestions

1.Take FLUCONAZOLE (150) twice a week for first week,then once a week for subsequent 4 weeks.Alternatively ITRACONAZOLE(100) capsule can be used once daily for 10-12 days.

2.A complete blood work is needed to review any underlying condition.Like COMPLETE HEMOGRAM,LIVER FUNCTION TEST,FASTING AND PP BLOOD SUGAR,HIV 1 & 2.

3.If you are on steroid,get rid of it in a slow manner.

4.Use alternative drugs,which boost your memory,make you think clearly,your academic performances.MODAFINIL(200/400) is a very good alternative with minimal side effects.

5.Do a lab test to confirm yeast infection.Bacterial vaginosis can also leads to vaginal discharge.And do a culture sensitivity test(c/s).The c/s result confirms the sensitive antibiotics.

Hope this will help.STAY HEALTHY,STAY BLESSED.THANK YOU
