Although Fluconazole brings relief for many people suffering from a variety of fungal and yeast infections, the dangers of the drug are becoming more clear than ever. Due to the euphoric effects of Fluconazole, many people abuse the drug despite the risks. Those who begin abusing Fluconazole on a regular basis are likely to develop a dependence on and/or an addiction to the drug. Fluconazole is extremely addictive because it is derived from opiates, making it similar to morphine and heroin. ​ The greatest danger of Fluconazole​ is a potentially fatal overdose. Fluconazole depresses a person’s respiration and decreases their blood pressure. This can lead to seizures, comas or cardiac arrest (especially when ingesting, snorting, or injecting crushed tablets). Fluconazole is most dangerous and addictive when taken via methods that increase the drug’s euphoric effects, such as crushing pills and then snorting or injecting the powder or combining the pills with alcohol or other drugs.
