| 1 | fingernail fungus | Loss my sense of taste, sour mouth, vision altered. | Horrible, effecting my daily functions. | F | 45 | 5 weeks 20 mg | 8/3/2015 | 1 | Ringworm & toenail fungus | Chest tightness, muscle aches, joint pain, headache, nausea, anxiety, lightheadedness, sore throat. | I took this drug for six of the 30 days it was prescribed and on the morning of the sixth day I felt a tightness in my chest. It emanated from the center of the chest and spread half way to each shoulder. I stopped taking the medication on day six. Following the chest tightness I experienced a tender area on the front of my forehead that resulted in headaches. The upper part of my left arm had sporadic aches and I experienced joint pain in the left elbow. Lightheadedness and dizziness followed on the second day after stopping the med. I called the dermatologist's office and the nurse recommended to stop taking the drug (duh) and when I asked about the chest tightness she said it should go away that day. It didn't. I visited my regular doctor and reported the chest pain, numbness in the arm, and headaches. He ran lab work for kidneys and liver and administered an EKG. The tests were normal. It has been four days since I stopped the medication and the symptoms persist. I read an article online that suggested the medication remains in the system for 200-400 hours after the last dose. I am hoping for some relief over the next two weeks. I will NEVER take this medication again and if anyone asks me about it I will deliver a resounding NO. RUN. Find another course of treatment. The topical crème works effectively for the ringworm and I would use it again but NEVER EVER the oral medication. | M | 60 | 6 days 250 1X day | 7/17/2015 | 2 | toes | It broke down my whole system. Got a ear section, throat infection, urine infection my cell count was really low . Didn't know how it would work with me . Was really depressed also. And fatigue with anxiety. | F | 42 | 1 months 30 mg | 7/14/2015 | 3 | Fingernail | Severe headache, nausea, anxiety, insomnia, depression. | On the generic. Even though I've had all of the above symptoms listed prior, nothing else worked..... So would I take this again? Probably if I had some warning this time from my Dr so I was better prepared for it. | F | 39 | 5 weeks | 7/3/2015 | 1 | Foot rash | Anxiety and severe depression. Dry mouth and bad taste in mouth. | I have struggled with anxiety for the past year and about 4 days after starting oral terbinafine my anxiety started increasing. On the 11 th day I started feeling this dark, hopeless feeling. I have had small bouts of depression in the past but never anything like this. I also had this preoccupation with suicidal thoughts. It wasn't until I took the last of my 14 pills that I decided to look at the side effects. Sure enough, changes in mood, and anxiety and depression are right there. Then I found this site and am seeing that other people have experienced a very similar situation. I took my last dose about 36 hours ago and am still having extreme symptoms. I am now just holding out hope that as the drug leaves my system I will begin to feel better. Feedback from anyone who has experienced something similar would be very reassuring! | F | 27 | 14 days 250 mg 1X day | 7/1/2015 | 4 | fungus in throat, esophagus, & ear | at 6 weeks started to get a metallic taste, and occasional nausea | Yes it helped the nail fungus, but it's the only thing that has truly decreased the fungus in my throat, esophagus, and ear. I'm not all healed yet, but I hope to decrease the dosage in the near future and retain the healing of my tissues | F | 52 | 7 weeks 250 1X day | 6/28/2015 | 5 | Toe nail fungus | I've had no side effects. Toe is healing, I've had fungus for the last 15 years and Lamisil is the only thing that helps. | F | 45 | 2 months 250 | 6/25/2015 | 1 | Big toe nail | First day tasted something funny and had tickle in my throat second day had sore throat and flu like symptoms 3 rd day was in bed couldn't get up cold sweets so bad! now I remember why I stopped talking it before | We can send people to outer space and back but we can't find a safe gentle on body treatment for nail fungus. Oh snap!! | M | 50 | 5 days | 6/22/2015 | 1 | toenail fungus | Second day i started having a mild rash on the face and a weird dizziness as if my head was numb! Third day was much worse the dizziness was so bad. Blurry vision numb tongue and numb head and a bad itchy rash all over thed face... am still waiting for the side effects to clear up! 36hrs and counting | F | 32 | 3 days | 6/22/2015 | 4 | Toe Fungus | Minor lingering headache for a couple days about a month after starting. | 2/3s of the way done and starting to see a lot of improvement. Have had it for 10 years at least on 8 toes and am very happy to see it disappearing. | M | 26 | 60 days 1X day | 5/25/2015 | 4 | toenail fungus | some metallic taste for a short period of time but went away | This stuff definitely does what it's supposed to do. I took it for 3 months with very little side effects and I'm happy to see my toenails are growing out normal. | F | 54 | 3 months 250 mg 1X day | 5/21/2015 | 1 | 1 toe nail fungus | Horrible side effects.. first week, severe diarrhea, stomach pains and more. And then they gone away, I felt much better and then the pharmacy forgot to give me 2 pills and gave me them when I picked up another prescription. I ended up getting it mixed with my meds and took a double does of it. It about killed me. And 3 days later I have had to go to urgent care and get test done because I believe my gullbladder has had a flare up or something with my liver. The pain is horrible and now I see everyone else has had horrible issues as well.. pull this drug | F | 31 | 2 months 250 | 5/17/2015 | 4 | Toe nail fungus | Difficulty going to sleep & staying asleep; headaches; anger/anxiety attacks; constipation | The side effects are bad, but the medicine is definitely curing my toe nail fungus (3 toes) which I am very happy about. I had tried everything including a very painful laser treatment. Nothing killed the fungus but Lamisil. I have clear nail growing out for the first time in 8 years. Tomorrow is my first day off Lamisil so I hope I start sleeping normally again. | F | 56 | 3 months 30mg | 5/16/2015 | 2 | Toenail Fungus | Initially, horrible nausea, got better after a month, but still is an issue. At the 40d mark, started to notice the taste issues. Everything tastes flat and tasteless, salty, sweet, everything just tastes the same. | Had a liver test at the 30 day mark and everything was fine. But,I am at the 60 day mark and I'm stopping this drug. I was supposed to take it for 80 days, but the issues with my taste buds are scaring the heck out of me. I also am tired of being nauseous all the time. I thought I could hang in there and complete the course, but I really don't want to risk losing my taste altogether. My two toe nails look a little better, so I'm hoping that this has worked, but at this point I don't care. Someone please tell me that my taste buds will return to normal. | F | 59 | 60 days 250mg 1X day | 5/14/2015 | 1 | Toenail fungus | I've been taking it for 9 days and have noticed some awful side effects. The first time I took it at night, I had some weird dreams. While on it, I've had terrible insomnia, body twitches, stomach burns and heart is racing. I can't stay asleep but for an hour or so, wake up in sweat and itchy. I have lost my appetite, feel anxious and very depressed. When I do eat, I feel like I'm going to throw up. My vision has gotten blurry and my joints feel weak. Not sure if I want to continue this medication... | F | 34 | 1 days | 5/10/2015 | 1 | Toenail fungus | After only 5 days on this medication I've experienced a surprising amount of horrible side effects including debilitating exhaustion (to the point that I had to leave work), nausea, anxiety, and the worst of all extreme mouth and tongue pain. My tongue was sore as if I had scalding burns and the papillae was all red, enlarged, and inflamed. It became difficult to eat and drink or simply concentrate, as it hurt so bad. I contacted my doctor and left a message but she was unaware of this side effect. I may be seeking legal advice. | F | 33 | 5 days 250 mg | 4/30/2015 | 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 1X day | 4/29/2015 | 1 | for 1 toenail | nausea,joint problems,weight gain,rash,trouble eating. | i would not reccomend taking this drug i am still trying to recover months down the line. | F | 27 | 2 months 200mg 1X day | 4/27/2015 | 3 | Toenail Fungus on one foot | A bit of a headache, especially the first 2 hours after taking it. It generally subsides after that over then next 8-10 hours. I feel now I may have a bit of a lingereing headache starting to form. I may have felt slightly more anxious about things at work. | It seems to be working and another 3 weeks I'm scheduled for a routine liver function test. I hope to not be on this stuff for more than 4 months if I can help it! I should add that I have never been a big drinker and lead quite a healthy lifestyle (gym 3 times a week). | M | 36 | 5 weeks 250mg 1X day | 4/25/2015 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | dry cotton mouth, loss of taste, tingling/numbness of tongue and lips, skin itchiness | Took generic version (Terbinafine). Was going well until the 7th week when I started to lose my taste. Didn't realize right away it was from this and ended up taking it for another 2 weeks on and off. Then started noticing that after taking it my tongue and lips began tingling and were numb. Been off it now for about a week and the tip of my tongue is still somewhat numb and tingling; still have a dry mouth, and have altered taste. Everything takes on a somewhat salty taste. It's horrible! From what I've read, appears to take a very long time for things to return to normal. Hopefully they will! Would NOT recommend this drug to anyone! The only upside is that my toenail fungus has definitely improved. Hopefully I had enough meds to clear it up. Am trying a natural method right now....using coconut oil, and hoping that will finish clearing it up. | F | 50 | 9 weeks 1X day | 4/17/2015 |
