| 3 | toenail fungus | So far, not bad. Some diarrhea which I had attributed to my diet, but now it makes sense. If that is the worst, it's ok. Not sure how my nails are doing. Getting polish off this week. Will keep you posted. I have tried every home remedy there is and nothing has helped. | F | 61 | 6 weeks 250 mg | 9/30/2014 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | This drug requires commitment and endurance, but if you can make it through it works well. I did it twice, 2 years apart. I had severe fungus on all 10 toenails for 30 years. My first treatment was 2012 for 3 months -- it cleared up 8 toenails. I went a second round for 3 months this year and it cleared up the remaining 2 toenails. I endured all the usual symptoms -- loss of taste, pruritus, itching, metallic taste. I found what worked for me was to take it before bedtime and try to swallow w/water without touching the tongue/tastebuds. I'm glad I found this board so that I see my experience was typical. It works, but just be sure you understand the potential side effects before you start. | M | 56 | 3 months 250 1X day | 9/12/2014 | 5 | toe nails_2 big | Extreme diarrhea full 2 months_sharp pain chest 2x 1st week_severe abdominal pain 3 days_fatigue and depression.PLEASE keep your eye on the prize! I am into 3rd month..I will not give up now. Fresh white growth showing ..yaye! Keep in mind you know it will be tough..I found a product..Banatrol plus..awesome ..mix it in applesauce cup...keeps diarrhea at bay for 4_6 hours.Nothing else worked. The other symptoms I just remember what is causing them and move forward. Please don't give up. Temporary.....keep focused on goal. | F | 50 | 2 months 250 mg | 9/9/2014 | 4 | toenail fungus | No side effects | I'm taking terbinafine. Both my big toenails and little toenails are the ones that are affected. My big toenails are growing out with improved color and it's too early to tell on the pinky toenails. | F | 58 | 3 months 250 mg 1X W | 9/2/2014 | 1 | toenail fungus | I had a very minor case of toenail fungus on my big toe. I was scared it was going to get worse so I decided to take prescription Lamisil. I went into a deep depression and had extreme anxiety to the point where I went to an outpatient hospital program for help. I also had extreme headaches every day. There was no reason for my depression. I had just gotten married and returned from my honeymoon. I thought it might be from the let-down but there was no way that would've made depression and anxiety so extreme. I finally went to my doctor who told me to stop taking Lamisil. I've been off of it for 6 days. Depression and anxiety have gone away almost completely but still have a little anxiety. Hoping it will go away within the next few days. | Hoping this review will help someone. This medication is horrible. DO NOT TAKE IT especially if you have history of depression or anxiety. | F | 32 | 3 weeks 20 mg 1X day | 8/25/2014 | 1 | fungal infection | Rash on legs thighs stomach chest and arms very itchy | M | 58 | 1 days 250 mg | 8/24/2014 | 2 | Athletes foot | Extreme headaches, disorder sleep patterns | I have never got headaches this bad before. It's thumping and I have to lie down and eventually slowly dose off. I haven't taken it for a day and the headaches continued today. I can't seem to be able to sleep at night either once the headaches wear off from the pill. | F | 31 | 4 days 2X day | 7/18/2014 | 4 | Ringworm | The day I started taking this medication I thought I had the flu. Turns out that this gave me watery diarrhea the entire time. I know I have to take this medicine to clear up the fungus but I can do without the stomach pains and diarrhea. Sometimes I am afaid to eat because I know I am going to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. | F | 29 | 14 days 250 MG 1X day | 7/17/2014 | 1 | toenail fungus | Major mood swings, fatigue, bloating, diarrhea, depression. Loss of interest in anything. Hair looks limp, and lifeless. This stuff is NOT worth the side effects. I am NOT taking it anymore | F | 48 | 9 days 1 | 7/7/2014 | 1 | Toenail fungus | EXTREME hair loss!! The hair loss began a couple weeks into treatment, but I did not realize it was a side effect of the medicine. I have been off the medicine for a week and the hair loss has not stopped! | F | 42 | 3 months 250 mg | 6/30/2014 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | Anxiety, shortness of breath (similar to panic), depressive thoughts and feelings of low self-worth, poor sleeping, exhaustion, impossible to concentrate at work, foginess, wanting to be alone | Thus drug has been awful for me, taking it for 4 weeks now and been feeling extremely low and having weird, anxious thoughts and feelings about small things that I know don't matter. Couple of times I've hard shortness of breath, I'm guessing similar to what a panic attack feels like. Also, had trouble sleeping (disturbed sleep where I keep waking up with a strong thudding anxious heartbeat), feeling exhausted and it's been really difficult to concentrate at work or keep my mood levels up. Took me a while to realise that these symptoms coincided with me starting to take the terbinafine, as I originally assumed it was due to general stress and life changes (wife is pregnant and am happy so feelings are extra weird - thought it was maybe "sympathy" pregnancy at one point:-)!) but am convinced it is the drugs after reading the rest of these comments. Incidentally, toenail is slightly better after 4 weeks but no way am I carrying on taking these horrible pills. These pills could probably be used for people who want to experience the mind of a depressed person (e.g. to understand a loved one with the condition) | M | 33 | 4 weeks 250 1X day | 6/25/2014 | 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 250 1X day | 6/21/2014 | 1 | toenail fungus | I started losing hair badly during the second month. I completed the three months and the hair loss continued. I had headaches and terrible depression to the point where I was considering suicide. I also gained about 20 pounds even though my diet and exercise routine didn't change. | I've now been off the drug for six months and I'm still losing hair badly. I have noticed some of the hair growing back but it's taking a long time. The depression and headaches have gone away. My toenails barely look better. Applying tea tree oil, lemon oil, and soaking my feet in apple cider vinegar seems to be more helpful than Lamisil. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. | F | 18 | 90 days 250 MG 1X day | 6/11/2014 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Severe rush, clusters of hives were developed on neck, shoulder, abdomen, hands and legs. Skin around neck and on shoulders are extremely inflamed. | I was taking Terbinafine HCL 250 mg (generic for Lamsil). My doctor told me to stop this drug immediately and prescribe prednisone 20 mg two tablets daily. How long does it takes for body to be cleared from this drug? | M | 61 | 4 weeks 1X day | 6/6/2014 | 1 | Toe nail fungal infection | First week nothing major apart from a bit of lethargy and panicky episodes lasting approx 10 seconds. I decided to change the time of taking it from AM to PM to hopefully sleep through side effects. No such luck. Day 8 I noticed sharp pains in the centre of my chest lasting a few seconds but leaving me feeling anxious after each pain. Day 9 to 12 I suffered headaches, lethargy, constant pain in right breast, joint ache and broken sleep, anxiety, sweating, a general lack of focus. I definatly have noticed an improvement in the toe but I cant continue taking this as I have kids to look after and a job to do....cant function like this so Im stopping them today :( goodbye to the Havainas flipflops I had ready for summer | Apparently there is an over the counter chemical nail remover which does the trick. I just cant believe they give out this medication like sweets when the side effects are worse than the condition. | F | 35 | 12 days 250 1X day | 5/7/2014 | 4 | toenail fungus | I took took lamisl in 2008 and I was having bad headaches and diarrhea so I stop taking it it only cleared up one foot so im trying it again buy one thing is im having bad watery diarrhea alot making me want to quit but im not cause this medicine really work but you have to stick it out I am this time I just hope my side effects go away | F | 38 | 2 weeks 250 | 5/5/2014 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | Dizzy/vertigo, foggy, nausea, strong anxiety, poor concentration | After 14 days I went off if this awful stuff. It's been 6 days and I still feel terrible!!! I hope this poison leaves my body soon!!!! | F | 40 | 14 days 250MG 1X day | 4/29/2014 | 1 | Toe fungus | Had an panic attack when I went to get an MRI felt trap in the tube. I had to stop after two months couldn't Finish the third month. This drug really messes up your logical thinking of anxiety | M | 48 | 2 months 250 | 4/29/2014 | 1 | Fungal on toes | While taking Lamasil 250, one week before finishing my 3 month course, started feeling stitch like feeling under my left rib. Only when im walking and when bending down. Although it isnt constant. I feel my stomach is grumbling at times and feel like I need to burp/hiccups. Felt also some anxiety even after getting of them. Experiencing lower back and left kidney discomfort. Feeling worried about all of this side effect! If anyone is experiencing the same symptoms please email me. Having an Ultrasound tomorrow on my upper abdominal. | F | 44 | 3 months 250 | 4/23/2014 | 1 | Toe fungus | Anxiety, depression, shortness of breath...other wierd stuff...like my ears felt like they were burining and my face was pinkish. | F | 43 | 10 days | 4/8/2014 |
