 5  Fingernail fungus I took the generic terbinafine. Numerous side effects, but the worst were fatigue and gassy stomach issues. But - this med is the only proven cure for fingernail fungus. There is the Pinpointe laser alternative for toenails but nothing for fingernails. I'm almost done with my 6 weeks, and I can't wait to have my normal energy back! Being constantly tired is the worst. F 69 6 weeks

 3  Foot/toenail fungus Have been struggling with severe confusion/brain fog/inability to concentrate and fatigue for weeks and couldn't figure out why. Can barely drive or work. Now I see others have also had this so I will stop taking it immediately before I either get in a car wreck or get fired. Some people dont have side effects and you can try it but be careful.

 1  Toenail fungus This is the second time I have used terbinafine. The first time I took it for three months for a finger nail fungus, the finger nail fungus disappeared at the end of that period, and the side effects were not too heavy. Now this time I only have a mild fungus on my feet, and not fully recovered toonails so my doctor advised me to do another three month cure. After one week of taking this I realize I have extreme anxiety, I am writing this wide awake in the middle of the night. I was sweating, my body feels itching and I have a sore mouth and mild headache. And during the day I felt depressed and anxious on and of. You have to understand that I am an athlete, I eat healthy and I have a healthy sleep rythme. I threw all pills away and I am going to call my doctor tomorrow to tell him I am not continuing. I hope these effects will disappear soon and I really regret taking this for the second time, especially because there was no real need for me to take this. FOR NAIL FUNGUS I WOULD RECOMMEND, HOWEVER IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY SIDE EFFECTS I WOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY. M 29 7 days

 1  toenail fungus Constant diarrhea, nausea, and alot of abdominal gas and bloating. I have only take this for 4-5 weeks and I am going to stop-I cant tolerate the constant loose, watery stools and just want to feel normal again. Although my toenail is responding well, i regret taking this medication and hope my diarrhea clears up! Dont take it! file that nail down as thin as you can and use the lamisil cream... this just isn't worth the gastrointestinal upset and feeling like crap all the time. F 43

 1  Toe nail fungus Do not take this drug! I took it for toenail fungus. At first no side effects, at five weeks started to feel anxiety and waking up in the middle of the night with panic attacks. Began to feel depressed and lost interest in working out and doing activites I once enjoyed. Have been off now for 10 weeks and I still have problems sleeping and feel irritable during the day. I would absolutely say don't take this drug it will make your life miserable!!! I'm praying that I can come out of this. M 38 6 weeks

 1  toenail fungus Insomnia, Anxiety, loss of appetite, stomach burning, dark urine, muscle pain after exercise, weight loss Took 16 pills over 18 days. Today is 40 days off the pills and still have terrible insomnia. Appetite became better and stomach pain stopped about 33 days stopping med. Muscle pain also diminishing, but still cannot get to sleep or stay sleeping for more than 2 hours without some sort of sleeping aid. Had to go on and off Ambien twice now, cannot take for more than 2 weeks or else you become addicted. Even the Ambien only gave me about 5.5 hours sleep. This drug has such a long half life, a post by one person recently mentioned that their doctor said it would take 8 weeks for side effect symptoms to get better. My memory is terrible at this time and hoping it will recover. So many days I cannot fully function or drive due to fatigue. F 56 16 days

 1  Toe nail Forgot doses on some days but ended up taking 26 pills. Have horrible stomach pain that came on pretty sudden. Mostly residing in lower pelvic area. I assumed all related to menapause and had a complete check up with doc. All clear. Then went to my regular soc and she couldn’t figure out why I was having unexplained constant stomach pain. Feel very much not myself. Felt anxiety that I have never had before. I stopped the pill but didn’t put it all together till I came across this site. I have been to a GI and still dealing with constant tummy pain. Sleeping is the worst. Wake up and feel the discomfort. Trying to find someplace to read how to make this go away. Just had blood work done for liver. I am pretty terrified as I have 2 small kiddos and I don’t know what is happening to me. Pain on right side now and mid back. Joints ache in pelvis area. This is the worst. I was never warned of all these side effects. Do not take! F 51 26 days

 1  Fungus Rash covering entire body. Took meds on the 22nd of January woke up next morning with a rash. Got worse through the rest of day until today while I am writing. Took terbinafine from January 7-22 I recommend getting tested to see if drug is safe for you. They told me my reaction happens to less than 2% of people. I tried reporting to fda and got an email about them delaying their response because of government shutdown. So we will see if my rash will go away or if my condition worsens. I do not recommend.

 1  Toenail fungus Severe joint pain, depression, headache, anxiety, mild GI symptoms, body aches I honestly thought I was going crazy until I came here. I felt like I was falling apart all at once until I came here. I may be still but, it's comforting to see I am not alone. I stopped after 22 days, STILL feel awful 5 days later, doing bloodwork tomorrow, SO SO scared. DO NOT TAKE THIS. F 47 22 days

 1  Toenail fungus Back of head terribly sore. Horrible joint pain. Shoulders and arms hurt. Acid reflux feeling. Unable to work or focus. Fatigue. This is poison and I am furious at my doctor from Kaiser is Los Angeles for prescribing it. I’d rather have my toes removed than feel like this again. I have been off it four four days after only taking for six and I still feel terrrible. I’m desperate for these symptoms to go away. M 6 days
