| 5 | toe nail fungal on both big toes | I did not have any side effects, however, I do not take any other medication. | I am very happy about the product, I always have had toe nail fungal infections and for the first time in my life I had healthy toe nails. I lost my two big toe nails again after a accident and I am starting a new course today. I tried the medicated nail varnish to treat the problem but it did not help. | F | 29 | 250 x 4 1X day | 10/13/2011 | 5 | | 3/15/2006 | 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 | | 12/11/2006 | 4 | | 4/3/2004 | 3 | Finger nail fungus | No side affects at all until the beginning of the fourth month. I then noticed lesions developing on my chest, back, arms, and legs. My dermatologist took me off the lamisil five weeks ago and the lesions are still horrendous. They are not painful but sometimes itch. My internist thinks I may have vasculitis. Blood tests were taken with the results due next week. | I was on the medication for three months and two weeks. Due to the lesions my dermatologist took me off. It helped my nail fungus but after reading articles on vasculitis I am very concerned about my overall health. | F | 57 | | 10/26/2006 | 3 | infected nails on one foot | Nausea, dizziness, fatigue | I didn't feel anything for the first 2.5 weeks, but following that I had three days of strange dizziness, nausea and exhaustion which caused me to stop taking the pills after exactly 3 weeks. That was just 3 days ago, and I haven't decided what to do next. I am still feeling the same effects and they are unpleasant enough that I'm not looking forward to carrying on. I have seen improvement in my nails, but it's definitely not worth possibly messing up my system. I think I'm going to hope that the side symptoms abate soon, see what happens with my nails in the meantime, and then maybe use one of the mitigated regimenes that others here suggest--either half a pill every three days, or go off altogether for three weeks and then on for one week. I'm thinkint that maybe the one dose a day for three months is more than I need since my case is not extremely severe. I am definitely feeling a bit weary of this medicine and just hope that nothing permanently damaging has begun to happen in my bo | F | 36 | | 3/19/2007 | 3 | Toe Nail Fungus | Slightly head aches, a little tired, but I don't know if it has anything to do with Lamisil or the fact that I have a 1 yr old that wants to explore the entire house. | I just started taking lamisil and so far I don't have any big side effects, I'm gonna have a blood test done in like 2 months, so it's just a wait and see thing for now. I'll keep you guys posted. | F | 21 | | 4/6/2007 | 3 | toenail fungus | bloating and weight gain; anal itching (never experienced that before taking this med) | Affected toenail fell off after about 4 weeks of medication. New nail seems to be coming in clear. I am NOT happy about the weight gain/bloating! 15 lbs in a month with no changes in my eating habits (and I am a weight loss surgery patient so I physically CAN'T eat much). | F | 46 | 4 weeks 1X day | 1/28/2016 | 2 | Toenail fungus | Rashes/hives - Started on the breast, then spread to chest, addomen, back, upper arms, thighs and lower back. Stopped taking after three weeks. | F | 41 | | 7/4/2007 | 2 | toenails yellow, thick | I can't remember any side effects at the time because it was many years ago back in 1999. My nails did clear yes, but they never grew back at their original thickness and have remained brittle and sensitive. To stub my toes is excruciating. My fingernails look terrible and I can't grow them long because they break. Not a happy camper. My toenails are still clear but flaky and brittle. | F | 25 | | 8/16/2005 | 2 | Here's list of all recognized side effects, according to the FDA: http://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/2004/20539slr012_lamisil_lbl.pdf | Checkout the FDA's list of side effects: http://www.fda.gov/cder/foi/label/2004/20539slr012_lamisil_lbl.pdf | | 10/21/2006 | 2 | toenail fungus | By the way, a co-worker's (male) doctor told him to try Vicks Vapor Rub...seems to be a buzz about that on the internet and some testimonials that it works. He is using on a fungus on his fingernail, and something is happening...but still remains to be seen. Maybe we should check that out. | F | 44 | | 2/26/2005 | 1 | toe fungus | loss of taste | Could anyone who has gained a sense of taste after losing it please write to this list? Perhaps there is something that you did that triggered a regain of taste, and knowing this, even if it is anecdotal, rather than scientific, might help others searching for ways to trigger a positive response. | F | | 2/6/2006 | 1 | Toenail infection | maybe there's a viable alternative At LAST! www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2110800/Pain-free-laser-banishes-toenail-fungus.html | M | 40 | 250g 1X day | 3/6/2012 Patient History | 1 | Fungal Nail Infection | Now 15 days after I stopped taking tabs and my taste is coming back. slowly but the skin is peeling off my palms & fingers. Don't know yet if anyone else has had this, may be due to not eating proper food. | M | 53 | 250MG 1X day | 7/21/2011 Patient History | 1 | Fingernail fungus | I hav been of the drug for 40 days now. This morning my coffee tasted like coffee instead of warm salt water. The salty taste is slowly going away. My bones still hurt and I am swollen | taste is returning slowly | F | 57 | 50 1X day | 12/21/2011 Patient History | 1 | Fungus on toenail | M | 29 | 1X day | 2/8/2012 Patient History | 1 | jock itch | I'm very angry at the doc for not discussing risks. I would very much like to hear from others that side effects do abate in time. It's been 2 months and I'm still suffering -- fatigue, painful rashes, dizziness. Blood work comes back OK so that's some reassurance, but side effects persist. Can others reassure me that this will abate? | M | 50 | 200mg 1X day | 10/6/2012 Patient History | 1 | I didn't take it. | I have had great improvement from the pinpoint laser 12 weeks ago. Toenails growing out free of fungus. | F | 50 | 1X day | 7/6/2010 | 1 | no | toe nail fungal infection | I got cure in 6 weeks using vinegar/water. My infected nails are all dropped of, leaving the beautiful white clean nail beds I have nor seen in 5,6 year. After the nail bed healed from the nail avulsion,about 2 weeks after the surgery, I began to soak my whole foot in the 1/2 cheap white vinegar and 1/2 water. This soaking I do as many times a day as I had time, and about 1/2 hour at a time. I have a plastic bucket under the desk in my office and a bucket under my dinner table at home. So while I am eating dinner and working at my desk, I just put my foot in to soak. Give it a try. IT WORKS. | F | 52 | | 6/19/2007 |
