 1  toe nail fungus Within 4 hours after taking a pill on the first day of my 6 week prescription, a portion of my upper lip felt numb and puffy. It felt like what would happen if I accidentally bumped into something, but I had not - this was an allergic reaction. I went to do some more research on Lamisil side effects and found this site. After reading of some similar affects and many much worse, I dumped those pills down the toilet and went and made myself try and throw up the 2nd day pill I had just taken. I always became lazy trying a topical solution for my toe fungus. Now I will be dedicated to using it. Using a scary drug like this isn't worth it. I'm glad I paid close attention for any side effects. I can't believe how quickly it affected me - within 4 hours of the first pill! F 45 1 days

 1  Toenail Fungus Headaches, nausea, itchy skin, lack of energy, slightly burred vision, loss of taste, spots, cold like symptoms. Since i started taking it, at best I feel like i have constant hangover and worst poisoned. It really destroys quality of life, which I had before starting. I haven't tried other remedies (e.g. natural ones) so I will look at these now and stop taking this toxic substance immediately. It seems like a sledgehammer to crack a nut. M 42 12 days

 1  toneail fungus Due to the advanced fungus in my toenails, this medication was prescribed for me to use for 3 months by dermatologist. From the second week on, CSR in my right eye has recurred slightly, after almost a decade of healing. In the sixth week of medication there was a lower back pain while carrying a light bucket. It continues for almost fifteen days whereas it had recovered in a few days in the past. I was examined by a neurosurgeon and he said that there was no slipped disc, but muscle relaxant injection, tablets and creams did not work at all. Muscle weakness is a very common side effect of this drug. I absolutely regret having used it. M 40 6 weeks

 5  Ringworm A bit of nausea and drowsy the first week while taking at bedtime. Positive side effects: appetite suppressant (lost 10 lbs), reduced hot flashes to zero! If it wasn't so hard on the liver, I would stay on it. Oh and it cured the ringworm. F 50 30 days

 2  Toenail fungus Stopped taking Terbinafine after 26 days. Was having some success with nails clearing up but it was not worth the depression and anxiety I was feeling. Also had blurry vision and painful bloated gas feeling for almost a week straight and after the first few pills I developed a weird rash on my lips that wouldn't go away. Like extreme chapped, puffy lips that burned.. Decided to not take pills for two day to see if anything got better and my lips started to heal after the first day of not taking the pills.. 4 days later they are still not normal, but getting there. Plus it definitely decreased my libido. Guess I'll live with two ugly nails till I find something else to work F 50 26 days

 3  Toenail fungus First and foremost let me just say that if it wasn't for saving 90% of my nails on my hands and toes I would have stopped this medication after the first couple days. Because I can already physically see new nail growth on my toes and it's only been ten days I'm determined to finish the full 90 day treatment. But as I lay here in bed at 4:45 in the afternoon On a Saturday because I had another sudden onset of dizziness and nausea along with sweat pouring down my face, the terbinafine research led me here.. Feeling faint Feeling dizzy Cold sweats Clammy skin Suddenly feeling like I'm over heating, sweat pouring off my face with extreme nausea Headaches Constantly feeling like you're going to vomit but never actually vomiting so you just have that terrible gross feeling in your stomach Loose stools with extreme stomach pains that would sometimes wake me in the middle of the night having me run to the bathroom There has got to be another option for killing toenail fungus!

 1  Toenail fungus Loss of appetite, slight diarrhea, blurry vision, painful swollen elbow, extreme anxiety I can handle the loss of appetite and diarrhea, but the anxiety was horrible. I had panic attacks. One was so bad I almost called 911. I thought I was having a heart attack. I don't know why anxiety is not a listed side effect. F 56 10 days

 1  Toenail fungus I stopped taking this drug about the halfway point (12 week prescription) due to GI issues that started at week 5. Stomach pain, gas, bloating, loose stools, diarrhea. It became intolerable and not worth it for me. I also experienced occasional headaches, fatigue, vivid and disturbing dreams that would wake me during the night with inability to go back to sleep and anxiety. I may have tried to stick it out longer if not for the GI issues. Definitely disrupted my life. It took 3 weeks after stopping the medication to start to feel like myself again and for my GI symptoms to improve to a tolerable level. This med leaves your system very slowly. I just tried to drink lots of water to get it out, and I started taking probiotics, which I think has helped. It has now been 6 weeks since stopping and I'm still having loose stools and now, what appears to be reflux symptoms, although I'm not sure. I feel like there is something stuck in my throat, and I am burping lots throughout the day. If anyone has had this side effect, please email me. It is driving me crazy! I feel like this med really did a number on my digestive tract from top to bottom. I just hope these lingering changes are not permanent. On the positive side, one of my 2 infected toenails does appear to be growing out clear, however this med was not worth it. I would never take it again. F 51 6 weeks

 3  Toenail fungus Started terbinafine at the start of February. Shortly thereafter, I came down with what is believed to be just a cold. It's April now, and I am now in the 7th week of said cold. Lots of crap coming up from my lungs, a lot of tightness, constriction and burning in my bronchial area, and lying down makes it worse, bringing on spasms that make me feel like I am suffocating. Have read that terbinafine can cause neutropenia, a diminution in the white blood cell count, and those are the ones that fight infection. I am surmising that terbinafine has an immuno-suppresive effect, so don't get sick while taking it! My nails are a little better. Haven't experienced hair loss, or taste loss, or any other side effects that I can recall. M 52 90 days

 1  Toenail fungus Terrible headaches, insomnia, feeling tired but can't sleep, regular exercise hurting, trouble focusing, dizziness, hair loss Used the lamisil spray for 3 weeks without any change to my nails. Doc prescribed tablet for 30 days. It's only been 5 Days but I'm getting such terrible headaches that I don't know what to do. I've never had headaches before. I also can't sleep. I have a toddler so I'm very busy during the day but suddenly I can't sleep. When I do drift off I get about an hour or to at most and then I can't go back to sleep. It's frustrating. F 33 5 days
