Hi Liz, You should not go about treating yourself for yeast infections or taking any other medications (even if your doc phones them in ) unless you have been visually examined and tested. You may have some kind of std like trich or something. Go to your gyn/doc and demand that you are given a pap, an std test and a yeast test, as well as another test for bv. All of your medications were prescribed on the basis of speculation, and only a test can determine exactly what the problem is and can guarentee treatment. Good luck.
