The only other thing i can recommend is what worked for me - that was terazol3 CREAM (not the suppository) -my doctor said the cream tends to be more effective - it is prescription only - so have your doctor prescribe it - but not the suppositories! Have them prescribe with several refills. I actually stil have remaining refills b/c i had a 6.

for me i had to take two prescriptions worth over two weeks to get rid of it. it is stronger than diflucan apparently and definitely stronger than over the counter which didn't work for me either. i got rid of a recurring 6 month yeast infection. You may need to repeat this treatment more than twice though.
