 1  Toenail fungus Belching, sour stomach on day 27. Called dr. And discontinued on day 28. I would recommend to NOT take this drug! I am concerned that there’s it even this drug on the market. I have had diarrhea continuously for over seven months. I am currently taking probiotics and I am on the BRAT diet to try to curtail it. If I had my Way, I would sue this company. F 61 28 days

 3  Toenail fungus The first weeks of daily use were accompanied by dizziness, but this eventually went away. Sometimes slightly blurred vision. However after ca. two months of usage I developed increasing joint and muscle pain, up to the point of not being able to walk without pain anymore (I am fit and used to walk 5km daily). This has been lasting for four weeks now and I only now got that it might be due to the drugs. Stopped using it now by the doctors recommendation and should wait and see if the symptoms subside. Took it for 14 days daily, then once per week like recommended by my doctor F 34 75 days

 4  fungus on toenail Extreme tiredness, foggy head , dry mouth and LOW SEX drive. I stumbled across this site and thought it was really helpful reading the comments on how people are finding being on this drug. I have found most days now I need to take a nap as I can't seem to shake off the tiredness ( unusual for me as I am normally very active) The only really annoying side effects so far is loss of sex drive. Most of the other side effects I can cope with like the foggy head and tiredness. Has anyone else suffered loss of sex drive ? F 38 90 days

 1  Toenail fungus Headaches, rash, swelling and the worse was the terrible hot flashes! I was so hopeful when my Dr. said side effects were minimum, just not the case for me. I will buy (Essential oils) toenail fungus treatment on Amazon. Fingers crossed! F 48 9 days

 3  Toe fungus Headaches and anxiety but after some calming exercises it has gone away. Also getting miles/freckles?? I've been looking everywhere to find out if Terbinafine causes moles and freckles. Can't find anything! I'm taking the medication now and since it's practically summer I have been outside but way less than normal. My brown skin complexion never has had freckles before but I've noticed a spot by my elbow that has freckles. Is it the medication? Anyone experiencing the same thing? Please reach out to me. Thank you! F 31 8 weeks

 3  Toenail fungus So far, 90 days in, zero side effects at all, and normal liver enzymes after 90 days. It honestly feels like I'm taking a placebo for how little difference I feel in myself. Possibly just making my birth control less effective. Affected toenails grow really slow so only just seeing a sliver of growth after 90 days, but I am optimistically thinking it is looking more normal. I hope it works after all this dedication! I've re-upped my rx for another 90 days. 35 90 days

 1  Toenail fungus Weeks after taking this medication My anxiety went through the roof. Could not sleep at night. I was having stomach aches and diarrhea. Sore throat and shortness of breath. I have stopped taking the medicine for about a month now and still have anxiety and shortness of breath. Was prescribed Lamisil cream instead and my toe nail fungus is clearing up. Slowly but surely 29 50 days

 4  Toenail fungus At first it was fine. Around the second month or so I noticed I was not sleeping and had a bit of brain fog and anxiety. I am not an anxious person and it was becoming intolerable. At day 75 I started with diarrhea. I stopped the meds and still have diarrhea. I am sleeping better and feeling much less anxious. I had some success with the fungus clearing but it is not worth the side effects. I have never experienced anything like this before. F 64 75 days

 1  Fungus in big toenail Severe suicidal thoughts, severe depression, anxiety, acne I tried this medicine years ago and took it faithfully. I noticed I was severely depressed but didn't put two and two together. I tried this again recently because the fungus never went away. I became so depressed that I had thoughts of suicide so I just stopped taking it. I also had acne cysts pop up out of nowhere. I am now two days off of it and my mood has greatly improved. F 40 10 days

 1  Fungus rash in ankle Within 4 days, I had stomach upset, bad headache, and numbness on my face. I am stopping this. I will use a lamisil cream and seek naturopathic ways such as oil of wild oregano to kill fungus. No thanks. The bad side effects are horrible! F 54 4 days

 1  Toenail fungus Was prescribed generic Lamisil for toenail fungus - third prescription in my lifetime. After approximately 10 days, I started to have signs of anxiety that grew steadily worse by the day. I did not at first connect that they might be related, and continued the medication. After about 30 days on the meds, the anxiety had steadily increased to the point that I thought I must be dying, and went to the emergency room. The ER did multiple tests, and found nothing wrong. They did suggest stopping the pill, and revisiting my normal physician. After about a week, I started to feel better, and after almost a month, about 90% of the anxiety went away. It’s still (8 weeks later) worse that at any time before I took this latest prescription, but significantly better than while I was taking it. I am 100% that the medication caused the anxiety. M 41 30 days

 2  Fungus on foot and belly Itchy spreading rash, joint pain,minor- brain fog, sleep problems Desperate to stop persistent rash started 3 months ago due to pedicure exfoliation (damaged skin allowed fungal entry) 2 weeks into 4 week course for skin fungus that turned to granuloma on foot, spread to belly. Tried putting raw garlic on foot (DONT-garlic burns the skin off like acid) made it worse. Terbinafine now doubled the rash size and the quarter size spot on belly is almost entire torso and thickened like elephant skin. Creams were not working but this medicine doesn’t seem to be either, hoping is the medicine pushing out the deep embedded pathogens but afraid of all these other horror stories. Welcome any advice. The fungus is unbearable I’m willing to endure the side effects of it gets rid of it F 44 14 days
