| 4 | Toenail fungus | Felt dizzy, lethargic for first three days, then felt no side effects through six weeks. Bitter taste in mouth after six weeks and loss of taste for about 3-4 weeks; taste gradually came back near the end of my 3 month treatment. | Some of the side effects are difficult for a few days, but if you keep with the treatment, you will see results. I have had toenail fungus since I was a child, and have tried other drugs like Sporonox. Unlike Sporonox, I can already see the result of the drugs in all of my affected toenails. Whether or not I will relapse is a different question, but so far, the results are there, and I am very pleased. | M | 24 | 3 months | 7/23/2007 | 5 | nail fungus | rash, intense dreams at the beginning and tired. the rash lasted 1 day and the dreams only happend twice. REMEMBER, FILE FILE FILE DOWN TO WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE BLOOD RUSH TO YOUR NAIL BED WHEN YOU PRESS ON IT. | i had bad toenail fungus. i took lamisil in febuary 2007 and it is working great. i also filed my nails down to where you can see my pink nail bed. that was the most important part of the progress. now topical treatments such as tea tree oil and vicks can now get through and kill the fungus. my big toes were the worst and they are almost back to normal now. my middle toe is taking some time but in addition to taking the pills use topical. | M | 29 | 3 months | 7/20/2007 | 1 | nail fungus | Extreme fatigue, fogginess, stomach hurts all the time. The worst it seems is after I eat something, clay colored stools. Sometimes, I just can't get our of bed! My wife thinks I'm depressed but I swear to her its this medicine. | I am generally very active but I seem to be stuck in first gear! Please, if anyone has experienced this, please email me. The only thing that has subsided is the stools. | M | 44 | 13 days | 7/20/2007 | 4 | toenail fungus | nothing severe | after only 30 days, I've noticed a small bit of clear toenail growth. This after 20 years of yellow. Seems to be working | M | 49 | 30 days | 7/17/2007 | 4 | toe nail fungus | Half way through the 3 month treatment, I experienced a very frustrating change in taste, almost as if it were numb--nothing tasted right. However, taste did come back normal after treatment.QUESTION: I have been experiencing HAIR BREAKAGE constantly for the last couple months. Could this be due to the drug? I am very frustated about it and want to know if it will stop now that I am off of it. | Yes, it did clear up my toes. | F | 43 | 3 months | 7/15/2007 | 2 | toenail fungus | I've had nearly every possible side effect already listed on this page: mood swings, depression, horrific nightmares, hair loss, itching, hives, tingling, blurry vision, nausea, exhaustion but insomnia, etc. | After experiencing all these and more symptoms, I simply couldn't take it anymore. I decided to stop a 3-month course of treatment after 50 days. The side effects were interfering with every aspect of my health and well-being. I've noticed some new, healthy nail growing in, but the risks are too great and the side effects are too debilitating. I agree that the pharmaceutical company is not being forthright in disclosing the true nature of the drug and the awful side effects. I've been lamisil-free for three glorious days. I did experience severe headaches for the first two days of going clean. I'm natural cure instead. | F | 38 | 50 days | 7/9/2007 | 1 | Toefungus | Lost my taste after approx. 8 weeks - horrible experience since 1 week's sudden loss of taste, everything tastes bitter, salty and chemical. I wish I'd done better research first - I do not recommend this medicine. | M | 50 | 60 days | 7/7/2007 | 5 | toenail fungus | Experienced no side effects other than slight nausea after taking pill. | Healthy new growth began to appear after about five weeks. It's been six months since I stopped taking Lamsil and fungus has not returned. | M | 53 | 90 days | 7/5/2007 | 2 | Toenail fungus | Rashes/hives - Started on the breast, then spread to chest, addomen, back, upper arms, thighs and lower back. Stopped taking after three weeks. | F | 41 | | 7/4/2007 | 3 | toenail fungus | None so far | I haven't noticed any side effects yet but have noticed that the bottom of my toenails look better. Honestly, I would put up with most of these side effects in order to have it just go away. The reason I looked up this drug is because I've been pretty depressed lately...not like suicide depressed but just sad when I'm normally pretty happy, and I thought it was probably unrelated until I got to this page. | F | 19 | 30 days | 7/2/2007 | 1 | toenail fungus | hospitalized for six days puss oozing out my skin.nausea you name it i had it. | its been a year and my skin is scared forever.i look at my skin and i regret ever taking lamisil for what the incompetent doctor thought was a nail fungus which eventually turned out to be a mole. i am still facing medical bills alone because i have to get tested every 3 month for after effects. i am also using medicated skin cream to lessen the effects of the scars on my skin. | F | 33 | 6 days | 7/2/2007 | 1 | jock itch | My chest hurts inexplicably which I think it due to severe acid reflux. I went to the emergency room one night recently because I thought I might be having a heart attack. It wasn't a heart attack but probably severe acid reflux combined with a panic attack. I also had an outbreak of a rash for a few weeks on my face and neck and torso. Never had any of these problems before Lamasil. I'm convinced all of them are related to Lamasil. Also my jock itch did not go away. | Do not take this drug. Very dangerous. | M | 40 | 7 days | 7/2/2007 | 4 | toenail fungus | I've been off the drug for almost 2 weeks now. I experienced only fatigue and possibly some hair loss. No other side effects but it appears only 3 of 5 nails are growing in normal. It does not appear to have worked for the last two nails. | I was tired all the time despite active/healthy lifestyle. I am happy with the results even though only 3 nails are better. The big toe nail was the worst and is growing in nicely. The worst part was the cost; $1200 for 3 months, not covered by insurance. | F | 41 | 90 days | 6/30/2007 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | After reading up on everyones comments, I could not find one that involved smell. After 3 days I have been smelling (24-7) the smell of a persons clothes after they smoked or more like a coffee pot with burned coffee at the bottom. I can put up with the smell for a result I guess. My health is very good; taking depression meds for marriage issues, so no side effects there except the marriage of couse. Just hate the smell, since I used to smoke 2-1/2 packs a day 26 years ago then got married and quit cold turkey, been smoke free until now....lol. Like some people have stated before, we are all different, our bodies respond to meds differently so if you are experiencing "serious" side effects, by all means stop taking it. I think the clue is when your body functions become abnormal. My smell is not interferring with my ability to function, heck maybe I can loose another 25 lbs? and get back to my military weight....ya right!!!lol | So far no change in a 20+ year battle with toenail fungus. When I do, I will follow up here. | M | 49 | 3 days | 6/30/2007 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Listless, always tired,m no energy, dizziness, nausia. | M | 70 | 28 days | 6/27/2007 | 2 | toenail fungus and tinea | Hives and different taste in mouth, dry tongue | It took a year to work up courage to take this drug and now regret it as it was all for nothing. I even took a half tablet to test for reactions for about a week. After 2 weeks of a full tablet I now have horrible itchy hives and am too scared to continue. I have had this reaction for two days now and have stopped Lamisil. | F | 45 | 23 days | 6/26/2007 | 4 | Toenail fungus | None whatsoever | I read about all the horrific side effects of this drug and put off taking it for 6 months. My dr did not do a liver test as he said he only does this for people with symptoms or liver disease. I experienced no side effects whatsoever and continued to drink socially again with no side effects...but this is of course different for everyone. I had 3 (minor) symptoms on 3 toenails, 2 of which I know are clear. I finished treatment a week ago and see a spot on my nail that I will have my doctor look at to make sure it's not recurrence. Overall, I'm satisfied as long as the infection is gone. Don't let everyone else's bad experiences scare you-try for yourself and make the decision. It's nice not to worry about wearing sandals anymore! | F | 29 | 90 days | 6/24/2007 | 2 | fungal rash in groin area | Noticed my arms were itchy and smaall bumps appearing after 10 days, now after 14 days I have spots all over my back and arms, itchy and unsightly. My scalp is very sensitive and itchy. My bowels have not been working as effectively as previously. | I called my doctor yesterday and she said I could stop with immediate effect ( I was only prescribed for 14 days ) I only hope this rash clears up soon, I'm going to try and remain positive. My rash in the groin area has all but gone | M | 55 | 13 days | 6/21/2007 | 1 | no | toe nail fungal infection | I got cure in 6 weeks using vinegar/water. My infected nails are all dropped of, leaving the beautiful white clean nail beds I have nor seen in 5,6 year. After the nail bed healed from the nail avulsion,about 2 weeks after the surgery, I began to soak my whole foot in the 1/2 cheap white vinegar and 1/2 water. This soaking I do as many times a day as I had time, and about 1/2 hour at a time. I have a plastic bucket under the desk in my office and a bucket under my dinner table at home. So while I am eating dinner and working at my desk, I just put my foot in to soak. Give it a try. IT WORKS. | F | 52 | | 6/19/2007 | 4 | toe nai fungus | I'm finishing my 1st month on the pill and am beginning to loose my sense of taste. First it was a blessing as I no longer enjoyed sugar or sweet things (good diet for me) but lately regular food has been tasting bland. I haven't experienced any other side effects other than that. | The medication is definitely working. My nail bed is clearly growing out without infection. Being that I see good results, I will continue to take the pill unless I begin to notice any other side effects. | M | 36 | 30 days | 6/12/2007 |
