So I got my prescription for a 6 week dose. I took all of the pills without noticing any extreme side effects until week 5. I had a very bad anxiety/panic attack that I attributed to some work related stress, went back to the dermatologist shortly after the 6 weeks mark and was prescribed another 6 week dose. That Friday I noticed a slight pain in my throat that started. It gradually got worse, and by that evening I felt my throat begin to constrict and it became more difficult for me to create vocal noise without applying more effort than normal. In the next two weeks, I had another anxiety attack, came down with flu like symptoms, and my will to go about my day vanished. I didn't want to do anything other than be by myself and be in bed all day. My appetite decreased, the constricting feeling/voice issues continued. I made an appointment with my GP, I asked for a blood panel, talked about the medication and received no acknowledgment. Was told all my numbers were fine. Week 7…I quit on the 23rd of January, and that afternoon I sat in the shower trying to come down from a panic attack for 45 mins and had suicidal thoug M 33 28 days

 1  Toenails Day 1 headache. Day 2 felt fine.Day 3 mild joint pain. Day 4 swelling of hands and feet. Day 5 all symptoms plus swelling of face and skin felt like it was on fire -- which caused severe anxiety and depression. I was hopeful in using this especially when day 2 I felt great. I tried to push through the side effects but as you can see by day 5 it was just to uncomfortable. Took 2 days off to feel more normal again. Still slight swelling and joint pain but at least not as severe and my skin does not feel on fire. F 53 5 days

 1  Toenail fungus I started experiencing joint pain early in the regimen and by day 75, it was unbearable. I stopped it finally a few weeks ago and the joint pain is not subsiding. I have constant pain in my elbows, ankles, knees, wrists and shoulders. It has significantly impacted my ability to exercise and I'm so worried it's not going to go away. I would never have taken this drug had I known about this side effect. F 43 75 days

 1  Toenail Fungus Hair loss I experienced severe hair loss and thinning within 2 weeks of taking this drug. By the 3rd week I knew the cause was because of the medication and stopped taking it. For a few more months I continued shedding and miniaturization of my hair. It has been 8 months since then and I continue to shed hairs albeit not as severely. I have not experienced regrowth and it looks worse than it did at the peak of the shedding. It's so depressing and I emplore you explore other options before taking this drug. There ARE other options. My confidence is ruined and I'm basically on a fast-track to being completely bald. M 23 21 days

 1  Toenail fungus Weight gain, horrible bloating of entire abdomen that hasn't gone away. Months after I stopped this medication I'm still suffering from side effects. Horrible abdominal pressure inside. If I don't eat and have empty bowels I can stand the pressure, otherwise I have to stretch my body out horizontally to relieve enough pressure to breathe. Dr. Said I must have GERD. (Never had it before) and gave me antacids. Hasn't helped. Going back to doctor tomorrow! F 51 20 days

 4  Toenail infection I noticed the 3 day on it I became depressed and unmotivated. Didn't want to leave my house and felt guilty and depressed about that.. I had diarrhea the 1st and second day but that cleared up. I've read a lot about his drug and it's side affects but the only one that I can truly attest to is the depressive symptoms. It's been pretty bad but the medication is working well on my toenails. I just hope I feel normal after stopping in 7 days. I thought about stopping half way through and decided 90 days of depression is better than a lifetime of fungus toes. I tried all the topical remedies for years and nothing worked. It's easy to see why people wouldn't want to take it. M 37 83 days

 1  Toenail fungus I took this before 15 years ago and don't remember any side effects.; However, this time anxiety and depression are off the charts after a week. I feel like crying on a daily basis and feel that life has no meaning. I was thinking that I was just under a lot of stress from buying a new house, but starting to feel scared because I don't feel like myself. Decided to make an appointment with my doctor about my new anxiety and depression. Will stop taking this medicine immediately now that I realize it is most likely the cause of my depression. Also, have extreme fatigue… napping everyday which didn't seem to be a big deal but.. putting all of the side effects together, this is a big deal. Talk in depth to your doctor about the possible side effects before taking this! F 58 7 days

 5  toenail fungus Heartburn, occasional. Mild stomach cramps. This is my second time on this drug, the first was back in 2010 or so. It successfully cleared up my toes but the fungus came back eventually after I had neglected to treat it creeping back into my feet. Lamisil works but it is a serious medication. Your doctor usually should check your liver enzymes before and during the use of this drug. Keep in mind, and I don't think many people know this, but terbinafine is a pretty strong CYP2D6 inhibitor. This is an enzyme that actually breaks down many things, including a lot of drugs. It usually isn't a huge deal, but it can make a difference. A good example of one is caffeine. I have found that on Lamisil, one cup of coffee can sometimes end up feeling like 3. Also, amphetamine is affected by this, too. I have been on Adderall for ADHD for many, many years and found that my dose had to be lowered on this medication. Just something interesting that should be mentioned. Overall, this drug does what it is supposed to do, but it requires being on it for a few months for the toenail thing, and it can affect some other medications, etc. M 33 90 days
