 2  Toenail fungus One month through 3 months regimen I began having a terrible taste in mouth and horrible smell in nostrils. Wife assured me I didn't have bad breath. At six weeks of regimen I could no longer taste properly. All foods had a moldy taste. I quit the regimen after calling my doctor and it has been ten days. I notice a slight improvement, but most foods still taste like mold, chalk, or clay. Can't eat enough to avoid hunger pangs, but am supplementing with vanilla flavored Ensure, which is bearable. M 78 6 weeks

 2   Horrible taste and smell. Food smells and tastes moldy, chalky, metallic like zinc or alum. I made a comment earlier, but I should have said that I had already used Lamisil twice over the last five years to good effect and with no side effects. This time it has been horrible; food is disgusting and I can't eat enough without supplementing with Ensure, which is bearable. Have noticed slight improvement after being off the medication for two weeks. Took it six weeks; noticed side-effects after two weeks, but didn't identify the problem until six weeks. M 78 6 weeks

 1  toenail fungus Developed diareah the first week, so I only took ten pills. People said I looked yellow, then I developed itching all over my body. I spent 10 days in the hospital, and the hospital hepatologist said they have seen this before and have even had to do liver transplants as a result of taking this drug. My liver has been damaged from this drug, and I had a normal liver test before taking it. M 75 10 days

 1  Toe nail fungus Joint pain, ear congestion, inability to think rationally, hair loss, flu like symptoms, back pain, radiating to sides, The allergic reaction to Lamissil has been frightening and debilitating. Still have joint pain and muscle soreness after being off this drug for over a month. I am terrified that these side effects will be permanent. Praying that they will soon disappear. F 75

 2  toenail fungus Began with rash on second day, then progressed to depression, severe anxiety and panic, tremors, and difficulty breathing on fourth day, then nausea and loss of appetite on fifth day. That was the day I figured out this was coming from the medication. It took about three to four days for most of these effects to subside after I stopped taking it. Never had this type of reaction to a medication before. Go figure!! F 74 5 days

 1  Fungus rash on backside Night sweats plus loss of strength. Blood sugar was near Max range at 3AM. Barely made it to bathroom. Shortness of breath. The rash still itches and burns. Scared to keep taking it but it's cheap and I hate this rash. Had it for years. I think it's from radiation I had for prostate cancer as it burned my rectum up and had several surgeries getting it fixed. Who the "F.." Pays the medical bills? Insurance is a joke and co payments stop me from calling any doctor now. M 74 3 days

 1  toenail fungus drug-induced hepatitis My 74-year old mother took lamisil for approx. 34 days. Her liver function tests were completely normal immediately prior to starting the drug and she had no prior history of liver problems. Once she started lamisil, however, she progressively became more and more ill, initially with flu-like symptoms. She discontinued the drug and, when she had repeat liver function tests performed, it turned out that her values were through the roof. She's been off the drug for approximately 8 weeks, but her alkaline phosphatase is still well above normal. (Her other values are finally in the normal range.) She has suffered, and continues to suffer, from loss of appetite (w/significant weight loss), severe exhaustion, nausea, chills, itchy skin and bowel problems as a result of the drug. Her internist has diagnosed her with drug-induced hepatitis. As icing on the cake, the lamisil didn't even cure the toenail fungus. This is a dangerous drug that should be removed from the market.

 1  Toenail fungus Lamisil, prescribed by my GYN, reacted with my estrogen, which caused hemorraghing, which led to a D&C, which caused a benign cyst on my kidney to push against a nerve, causing excruciating pain, which led first to numerous tests, then to two attempts to drain the cyst, and finally to a full-blown operation to remove the cyst (which had been there for years without a problem). The toenail continued to curl and hurt for two years following the Lamisil treatment, and has only recently stopped hurting. I told my dermatologist about the effects of the Lamisil and he said he would not prescribe it for ANYTHING, nor allow any of his partners to do so. F 72 3 months

 1  fungal toenail I am now suffering hives all the way up my spine very painful and irritating, can hardly bear to wear clothes can't sleep. Have stopped taking Lamsil. Now on antihistamines. I have seen my DR. asked if my rash could be due to Lamsil he said unlikely! Four years ago my husband had a rash all over his body while taking Lamsil. but the Dr did not connect the 2 things! Don't use it F 72 30 days

 5  Toe nails No side effects Important comment. Consult your doctor about taking Lamisil for one week only, then off it for 3 months, then back on it for one week only, continuing this safe procedure until the fungus is cleared up. This very effectively cured my wife's toe nail fungus with no side effects. M 71

 1  Toanail fungus Loose stools and diarrhea after about 3 weeks which has continued persistenly until I stopped taking the drug after about 55 days. Sometimes I use the bathroom 6-8 times a day. I have also lost about 7 pounds. After being off the drug for 4 days, the diarrhea seems to be abating. I would rather live with the fungus than go through the digestive issues from this drug. I don't know yet whether the drug taken thus far has had any effect on the fungus. M 71 55 days

 1  Toenail fungus on one toe After taking Lamisil for the entire 90 days, I became aware that I could no longer taste or smell. It's been three years since I took the drug and neither my sense of taste or smell has returned. Additionally, my toenail fungus has returned. If I could turn backthe clock, I would never take Lamisil again. M 71 90 days
