| 5 | toenail fungus | see my post 29 January - liver tests normal, side effects diminished over time. I was expecting full-on symptoms and was surprised at how mild they were. | After 6 months on the drug, and now two months after stopping, MY TOENAILS ARE CLEAR! My misshapen nails are even straightening out. I went to a podiatrist rather than beautician, to have the nails seen to - I recommend that, they know how to "guide" the nail. I HAVE JUST BEEN SHOPPING FOR OPEN TOE SHOES! I could not be happier with this drug - I would believe it or not swap some life expectancy for having presentable feet - they were that bad. | F | 49 | 6 months | 9/27/2007 | 1 | Toenail fungus on one toe | After taking Lamisil for the entire 90 days, I became aware that I could no longer taste or smell. It's been three years since I took the drug and neither my sense of taste or smell has returned. Additionally, my toenail fungus has returned. | If I could turn backthe clock, I would never take Lamisil again. | M | 71 | 90 days | 9/22/2007 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Anyone else have a fever? | F | 24 | 45 days | 9/22/2007 | 1 | 3 toes nails infection | I was so afraid of Lamisil reading all these comments. So, I soaked my foot in 1/2 white vinegar + warm water everyday since middle of June 2007. I had 3 infected toes nails. I soaked while I ate dinner, while I was at my working desk. About 20 minures a a time ar as long as I had time. All of my 3 toe nails are now all healed , no sign of infection any more. Email me if you like. I'll be more than happy to share with you the good news. It cost me about 2 gallons of white , cheap vinegar ($6) after suffering for about 5, 6 years and lots of money on medicines that are good for nothing. IT DOES WORK. Try it and be patient. REMEMBER the vinegar needs to soak into the nail as much as when you get the nail soften by being in the swimming pool. that is when the vinegar really get to the fungus. The infected nails were just so soft and bad that they peeled off after the vinegar got to the fungus. | F | 51 | | 9/17/2007 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Headaches that were severe in the afternoon and night, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and tired eyes all day. | I just stopped taking this pill 2 days ago after reading the comments in this website, I'm very happy I found this otherwise I probably wouldn't known what was making my life so miserable. I think living like this is definetely not worthy just to have a nail look good, I'm making an appointment with my doctor to let her know that I'm not willing to take this anymore and to get something else if possible. If anybody that has stopped this pill has found an alternative for the fungus problem please email me or post it here. Thanks!!! Is a shame that the company that makes this pill, the doctor or the pharmacist doesn't warn you on any of these horrible side effects...and yes after 2 days off the pill my life is back to normal!!! | F | 31 | 16 days | 9/10/2007 | 2 | 1 nail (big toe) fungus | I'm now on day 84 of 90 so I'm going to push through, but had I known that my lifestyle would be altered considerably- due to lack of energy, mood swings, occasional nausea and dizziness, inability to enjoy alcohol with friends (no buzz while on this stuff), and lack of motivation to get out for runs- I'd never have started on it for just one nail. | It ain't cheap either and my doc said it only offered 75% efficacy (not sure if that includes folks who forget to take their pill every day)... anyhow, I'd only recommend this if you have uncontrollable itchiness or have issues with your fingernails. | M | 37 | 84 days | 9/3/2007 | 2 | Toenail Fungus | My doctor told me theres never usually any side effects. The first week I took it I experienced constipation, slight diarrhea, stomach upset. But a few weeks later i got over the symptoms mostly. About 6 weeks into treatment it was working fine, until I went to a party and drank a few beers, i got really drunk like i've never gotten before so i am pretty sure lamisil lowers your alcohol tolerance even though i was never warned about anything between the two(lamisl+alcohol=don't do it). The next day i was sick to my stomach, this is when I first got all of my symptoms for months/weeks to come. I had all kinds of blood tests, and expensive xrays, even a frickin stool sample- but everything looked good, my doctor pressed on my liver and it felt a little sensitive-but many liver panel tests showed no sign of anything wrong.I looked at this website and had a strong feeling it was the lamisil built up in my system. I immediately stopped taking the lamisil the day after the party. The symptom | I think the body takes a long time to get this stuff out of your system since it is a drug that builds and stays in the system for months. My father took this drug also and had no side effects-so this proves everyone is different. Also,I went to Greece/Europe when I had these symptoms and I asked a pharmacist over there about the drug lamisil and he looked it up and said that it is dangerous and very strong and only in America is it usually prescribed. The only reason I give this drug a rating of 2 is because it actually did clear up my toenail fungus but at an unbearable price(feeling like im gonna die for months)-i'll take the fungus anyday. This is a dangerous drug, not recommended. | M | 19 | 6 weeks | 8/31/2007 | 4 | Persistent Toenail Fungus (5 years) | Taste disturbances | I stopped taking the drug at my doctor's recommendation because my nails were beginning to grow out clear and the taste disturbance was really, well, disturbing. (Doctor said I can always start taking the drug again later -- I don't think so.) Loss of sweet tastes and funny metallic aftertaste appeared after about 45 days and it took 3-4 days to lose my taste entirely. I am normally a person who does not miss a meal, and now I can hardly eat. I cannot taste sweet at all, can occasionally taste a bit of sour or bitter. But mostly everything tastes like a cardboard and dirt sandwich. Meat and most proteins are intolerable, leaving a nasty dirt taste. Diet cola tastes like club soda. Here are the foods I can still choke down: milk with soy protein mixed in (chalky but not foul tasting), certain vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, green beans (not sauced), oranges (not sweet but not nasty tasting eitehr), almonds (a little nasty aftertaste but I can stand them). I cannot stand ea | F | 47 | 50 days | 8/29/2007 | 3 | Toenail fungus on baby toe and next | Gas, bloating, stomach pains. Mostly abdominal. No rash, taste disturbances or any other problems so far (crossing fingers). | I am a RN. I am 3 weeks into my treatment. Totally healthy prior minus the toenail fungus. Have had the fungus for 10 years almost and dry, itchy skin (athletes foot). I have tried everything else so I waited for lamisil to become generic ($27 for 3mo tx now). a week away from my LFT which will hopefully be normal. Will update as things progress. | F | 25 | 26 days | 8/28/2007 | 3 | Fingernail fungus and toe fungus | Minor rash on right hand, by the thumb, palm, and wrist. I also wake up late at night with dry throat. Called doctor and she stated that if rash extends to just take Benadril (it might be a minor allergic reaction), but if it worsen to immediately go to Urgent care. | I've been battling with toenail fungus since I was 10-12 years old. I have tried Lamisil cream, tea tree oil, tough acting Tenactin to no avail. Finally decided to take tablets when my insurance approved my prescription for four months of the generic Lamisil at $10 a 30 tablet bottle. Blood work was done and my liver enzymes were fine. I will be monitored every month when I go in for a refill. I'm using the tablets and at the same time applying Tineacide cream. I hope it works, my nails were starting to hurt when I ran. | M | 27 | 4 days | 8/24/2007 | 1 | NAIL FUNGUS | MAYOR RASH ON MY ENTIRE BODY INCLUDING MY FACE, IT became burning hot, was given METHYLPRENISOLONE TABLES: 6 PILLS THE FIST DAY, 5 PILLS THE SECOND DAY 4 PILLS THE 3RD DAY 2 THE 4TH DAY AND 1 PILL THE 5 DAY, I HAD TO DRINK THE SAME PRESCRIPTION FOR 3 WEEKS, I AM HOPING THAT THE RASH WILL NOT COME BACK | EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT, BUT I COULDN'T IT TOOK $300.00 FOR ME TO GET THE PILLS BUT ONLY 8 PILLS TO GET A SEVERE RASH. | F | 29 | 8 days | 8/23/2007 | 3 | Nail Fungus | Small rash on my feet, no where else. There is a different taste in my mouth, but its not too bad. | Reading some of the other comments..the chance of hair loss scares me. I rather have hair and ugly nails. I will keep a watch for it. I did have a blood test before starting the treatment and will have another one in a few weeks..just to be safe. I recommend the same. | M | 30 | 2.5 weeks | 8/22/2007 | 3 | Toe nail | A litle blurred vision. | Only on it for 3 weeks now and no side effects that would get me to stop it yet. Have had infection for about 5 years now and am really anxious to get rid of it. | M | 23 days | 8/22/2007 | 1 | toenail fungus | weight gain, bizzare intense detailed nightmares, HAIR LOSS, taste-loss | I'm going to keep taking the lamisil,even with the awful side effects. I'm desperately hoping it will eventually stop my toenail infection. God, I hope I don't go bald. Nightmares, taste-loss, and weight gain I can handle, but baldness, no way!!! I know serious drugs cause bad side effects (hey, chemo makes you sick and go bald!) but this is not exactly cancer here. Can anyone tell me an alternative drug without hair loss side effects? Don't care about the other side effects, just want to keep my hair, darn it!!! | F | 33 | 22 days | 8/16/2007 | 3 | Nail Fungus 1 hand, 2 feet - Week 1 | Day 2, skin tingling, muddled thinking, noticed inability to find right word(s) during conversations. Day 3 insomnia. Day 4 fine. "3" rating because it's far too early to tell. | 12 week program using generic ($90 per 30 day supply) version of Lamisil. I take it with lunch. Stopped drinking alcohol 1 week prior to first pill and won't start again until Thanksgiving. 27 years since the first nail showed fungus. From day 1 started running 2 miles each day and eating healthier to (hopefully) fend off sides-effects listed by others. Am taking advice of earlier poster by keeping nails trimmed and filed as close to the skin as possible. Will try to give a weekly account of how things go. | M | 46 | 6 days | 8/11/2007 | 1 | Toe Nail Fungus | developed skin discoloration, loss of hair and possible high cholesterol. | If you have ever had hepatitis DO NOT take this medicine. I am going thru a battery of exams because the doctor never warned me that my past medical history could be dangerous. My blood was tested for liver problems however I just recently found out that my previous condition could make the medicine react differently. | M | 42 | 60 days | 8/11/2007 | 2 | Toe Nail Fungus | Headaches, EXTREME nausea throughout the day, and am very sleepy. | I have only been taking it for 7 days now and started feeling the extreme nausea around day 3. I dont know how much more of this I can take but will try to hang in there and hope that the results are worth it. | F | 26 | 7 days | 8/2/2007 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | Vision problems, fatigue, severe to moderate headaches that went away and came back. | This is a good drug, but it kills ya those first couple months. | F | 20 | 2 months | 8/1/2007 | 4 | fungus on 8 toes | I experienced the metal taste in my mouth and it constipated me but i was desperate to get rid of it - i would have done anything | I've been dealing with this problem for 20+ years and i hated going shopping for shoes, especially in the summer because i couldnt wear open toe sandals - so i would have done anything to get rid of it -i took it for 60 days - its been since May and i can see a nice portion of a healthy nail, i'm so excited. | F | 37 | 60 days | 7/31/2007 | 1 | Nail Fungus | MAJOR RASH! couldn't sleep, had headaches, I was never hungry... I only took the medicine for a week and Now I have a rash head to toe.... Extremely bad if you ask me. I've been to the hospital twice and on tons of medicine for the Rash. I stop taking it almost 6 days ago. and I still have it bad. BURNS intensley. Doctors don't know how long I will have the rash. They said it could take up to 3 weeks | DONT TAKE IT! | M | 20 | 10 days | 7/29/2007 |
