| 4 | toenail fungus | I expereinced no side effects whatsoever | I can see it working and it is getting much much better than before. | F | 17 | 10 weeks | 6/6/2007 | 2 | toenail fungus | i've only been on the pill 12 days and i think i'm always fatigued. I think it has something to do with the pills. Anyone else have a similar problem? Like, i sleep all day and am still tired. I'm discontinuing the treatment even though i really want my nail fungus to go away! Also, i'm developing a lot of gas that i think corresponds to the 12 days i've been on lamisil | M | 21 | 12 days | 6/3/2007 | 1 | Toenail fungus | This is my second bout with toenail fungus; I took sporonox a decade ago with good results. This time my podiatrist recommended lamisil; by day 6 (of 90) I was moody and listless, and most concerning, I was experiencing bleeding under my fingernails in the form of black lines (petechiae). Stopped taking it, and everything went back to normal within a few weeks. | Scary little pills, those...I'll probably try sporonox again later this year. Yes I did get a liver/blood test, everything OK. | M | 34 | 7 days | 6/1/2007 | 3 | Toenail/skin fungal infections | Cannot lose weight, despite extremely strict diet. Constant IBS-like symptoms. No other sides. A little tired, but not unduly. I take mine at dinner. Have had increased dreaming, but they are all rather pleasant dreams - so no complaints there. | I am also on a pulse dosage, double dose one week per month for four months. Am disappoined in the inability to lose weight, but will see what happens after the first week is over. Plan to follow up with the VaporRub remedy and do Liver Cleanse and milk thistle between Lamisil treatments. Will post follow up. | F | 43 | 7 days | 5/24/2007 | 2 | Toe Nail Fungus | After taking Lamisil for 3 weeks, I couldn't get the taste of cock out of my mouth. God, I hate the taste of cock. | I stopped taking Lamisil a week ago and it doesn't taste so much like cock now. | M | 55 | 21 days | 5/24/2007 | 3 | nail fungus | the side effects suck!! I should be at work but feel like i have the flu! cant poop- runs -gas-fatigue muscle and joint pain Im stopping this crap today!!! | M | 40 | 62 days | 5/22/2007 | 1 | toes nail fungal infection | I had 3 infected toes nails, 2 smalls toes and the big toe, for at least 5 years now. I got a prescription for this Lamisil Pill from my regular doctor to use . But my podiatrist did not encourage me to take it, he even hesitate. So he and I decided to not take the pill but to remove all of the three nails. I did not do anything else after the nails were removed (nine months ago). So the small nail grown back perfectly normal and beautiful. The second nail grown back decent. The big nail again still had fungus. So my podiatrist just removed again the big and the second nails AND he recommended "as soon as the skin on the nail bed healed, begin to apply topical medicine, like lamisil oitment, Vick Vapor rub, or other fungal cream/liquid to kill the fungus before the nails grown back." i'll let you know how it come out. Does anyone can testify to the effective of the Vicks Vapor rub on the killing of the fungus on the nail? | F | 50 | | 5/16/2007 | 1 | On antibiotics-took to stop yeast | LOOSING MY HAIR! Lots of it! I'm really mad about it now that I've been to this site. The doctor never told me about ANY side effects. Does anybody know if hair will grow back? | DON'T TAKE THIS DRUG! | F | 49 | 5 months | 5/16/2007 | 3 | Severe Case of Body Ringworm | I took Lamisil 250 for 2 weeks and it has been 10 days already since I took the last pill, while taking Lamisil I suffered from severe anxiety, nausea, exhaustion, fatigue, Morning headaches, hot flashes, depression and significant hair loss.. I also developed a rash after one week of using Lamisil which was very itchy and painful it started in my arms then spread into my legs and scalp! I got a one day period only, and I suffered from diarrhea and abdominal pain, I had dark urine and clay colored stool. My tongue was covered with a white layer that wouldn’t go even after I used fungal mouth wash and all food tasted metallic and salty! Now after 10 days of the last Lamisil Pill my tongue and my sense of taste went back to normal but I still feel Anxious, depressed and exhausted, I still wake-up in the morning with a terrible headache, and I still have Diarrhea and clay stool and sometimes abdominal pain, I sometimes get these hot flashes and I’m still loosing so much of m | The Ringworm disappeared but left me with terrible scars, Lamisil 250 cleared my ringworm in 2 weeks which is really good, but I hope something could be done to reduce the drug side-effects because it’s an effective drug that could help cure many people suffering from fungal infections. | F | 30 | 14 days | 5/14/2007 | 1 | toenail fungus | similar to a lot of people here, extreme fatigue, malaise, feeling down, brief rash that resolved within a day -- for some reason, I didn't attribute these things to the drug until I read this site, and kept asking my friends -- what is wrong with me? why am I so tired? I didn't know that these were potential side effects (all I had heard about were the well publicized liver problems) | I am discontinuing this drug as of today -- I am taking a very important test in 5 weeks, and can't afford to be this tired and lethargic. Can anyone who discontinued the drug please email me (or post it here) and let me know how long it for you to go back to feeling normal again? I looked at the half-life for the drug and it said 36 hours, but then said terminal half life 200-400 hours, so I'm not sure what to make of this. Thanks in advance! I am going to try the Vicks vapor rub -- I've also heard that this works. | F | 33 | 6 days | 5/13/2007 | 2 | toenail fungus | felt tired, really bad insomnia,blurry vision | after a week of taking this i couldnt sleep dont usally have a problem with insomnia and nothing in the pharmacology about this drug indicates sleeplessness but i think more people have experenced this symptom and may have contributed it to somthing else... stopped taking it a week ago and still not sleeping well | M | 45 | 35 days | 5/10/2007 | 2 | Toenail Fungus | Rash, Hives upper chest and middle of back, feeling very airy with my thoughts, Slightly dizzy. I started itching between my shoulder blades about 2 weeks ago no rash. I did not put it together with the lamisil until 3 days ago when I noticed a rash or hives on my chest and began itching like mad. I have been taking benedryl 3 times a day now and it helps with the itching. I did have a liver function test before taking the lamisil and all was normal. I only hope I have not messed up my liver. I took sporenex about 10 years ago with great success and no side effects but was not told that you could become infected again. | Pros. Started clearing my nails I can see new fresh growth at the base of both of my big toes. Cons. very itchy rash covering my upper torso, trade unsightly rash for nails not an even trade. Recomendation. is to spend 6 months putting vics vapor rub on your nails twice a day. | M | 38 | 33 days | 5/10/2007 | 1 | Fungus under skin | Only took for two days. Immediately started having upset stomach, headache, high blood pressure, and general fatigue. Felt like I was getting the flu. After reading this website I quit taking it. | M | 53 | 2 days | 5/10/2007 | 4 | nail fungus | rash on my arms the first week, tired, intense dreams. | I've been taking lamisil now for 3 months. My last pill was May 6th. I can see clearer nail growing in about an 1/8 of an inch from the base. It is a very slow process. I've been living with this for 10 years now. I can't go to the beach, the lake, or even swimming at a friends house. People complain about a metal taste in their mouth, I don't care. They say this pill will get rid of it then I'll take it. Will keep you posted on my progress. | M | 28 | 3 months | 5/9/2007 | 3 | toe fungus | I bailed out after 2 months. The constant salt taste in my mouth was too much and scarry. | I am in excellent health. I have never had a problem with any medications whatsoever and believe me, in my 51 years, I've had plenty. That is up untill now. 7 weeks into taking Lamasil my mouth began to feel as if it was coated with butter. Not too bad untill about the third day when the "butter" turned to salt. Everything is salty...even sodas. The worst is plain water. I feel like I'm drinking the ocean. Eight weeks into the program and on day 7 of these symptoms I bailed out. I just hope I haven't screwed up something other than my tastebuds. | F | 51 | 8 weeks | 5/9/2007 | 3 | Internal Candida | I've been taking Lamisil for 2 weeks now, I feel fine except maybe more anxious and very low. I asked for Lamisil but for 2 weeks another GP gave me Nizoral (which has horrendous liver damage associations apparently) So, I've been on anti-fungals for 4 weeks. I know my candida is going, however, I had ring worm appear under my arms which spread and the tablets seemed to do nothing, so I tried lamisil spray and it seems to be working. I'm aware of the liver damage potential and all the side effects listed on the info sheet, but didn't know about some of the other effects people are experiencing. Do what I did - inform yourself first, then discuss with your GP what you want, at least you'll know more than he/she will tell you (and possibly more than them per se!) | F | 39 | 2 weeks | 5/9/2007 | 3 | toe fungus | nausea, diarrhea, constipation | Can anyone give me an idea of what MG I should be taking of Lamisil? | M | 56 | 55 days | 5/6/2007 | 3 | toe nail fungus | HAIR LOSS. It's really bad I'm loosing soooo much hair i'm afraid of going bald by the end of the treatment. The hair loss started about a 1 month into the treatment. I'm also experiencing fatigue, depression and intense hangovers. It's about 2 months into my 3 month treatment and I have decided to stop b/c of the alarming hair loss. | However,lamisil did smooth out the dry skin on my feet. My Dr. said that was fungus too and that lamisil would cure that as well, and it has so far. | F | 25 | 57 days | 5/3/2007 | 1 | nailfungus | No physical effects. | Very very expensive, 90 days taking it and my nails are worst than I commenced to take the medicament. | M | 29 | 90 days | 5/3/2007 | 3 | toenail fungus | I've been on the drug nearly 3 months. Initially I took it at bedtime and had trouble with bad dreams and waking up during the night (very uncharacteristic for me) I switched to taking it in the morning and found I have terrible headaches and even an increase in my blood pressure (had been well controlled with medication for 12 years) I guess for me there is a downside to either schedule. But, I have severe fungus on all my toenails and feel committed to staying on long enough to clear it up | For me the toenails haven't grown out as quickly as I would have liked. After 3 months I'm just now seeing new clear growth, but my nails grow very slowly. I wish I could know "when" the fungus has been killed off sufficiently to stop the drug, which I'm looking forward to. | F | 46 | 3 months | 5/2/2007 |
