| 1 | Nail fungus | Lost complete taste after 2 months of 3 month prescription. Finally getting it back after 4 weeks off. Still no sweet Taste at all. Cold and flu like symptoms. Went to ER with heart attack symptoms. | If I had known of these side affects I would have never taken it. Not being able to taste anything can really be depressing. | F | 47 | 2 months 250 | 12/4/2016 | 1 | Toenail fungus | The most distressing side affect has been SEVERE hair loss, hair thinning, hair quality not related to the normal and expected mild hair loss due to aging. I have spent a fortune on blood tests for thyroid, hormones, etc and they're all normal. I've been to a naturopath as well. My hair was always thick and volumous but now my hairline is thin, see-through and I have kept some of the clumps of hair that have come out. I am angry and devastated. I wish I had just gone for laser treatment - 2 fungus toenails have not been worth the cost and distress terbinafine has caused. Not all information lists hairloss either!!! I could tolerate the dizziness, stomach disturbance, sleep disturbance, etc. But hair loss - especially on a woman - is horrendous. | Look for other options before using this medicine. | F | 45 | 2 months 250mg | 11/23/2016 | 1 | My mom, 89yrs old had toe fungus | My Mom, 89-dizzy, lost appetite, tired, nausea, constant urinating, rash, can hardly walk-hospitalized. What foods,vitamins will HELP? | I'm so scared for my mother!She's in rehab-any natural vitamins or herbs she should take? Help! | F | 89 | 10 days 250 mg | 11/22/2016 | 1 | Toes | I thought it was fine till the middle of the third week. I had tremendous gas and my chest hurt. Bones ached and I had a fever . Horrible panic attacks, feeling like I was going to pass out. Dark urine . I would never recommend it. I was aware these were possible side effects but they said "rare"so I was only looking for rash and upset stomach. Never this .It may be fine for some people , but not me . | F | 68 | 3 weeks | 10/30/2016 | 1 | Didn't have much side effects during except bloating constant.and depressive mood.after I stopped taking this posion my taste for sweet went for almost 10 weeks.now it has been my hair is falling out I really wish I never touched this stuff.i am suffering even after stopping.i also had diarrhea for 2 weeks after stopping and Toton it of my nail looks the same.exterme angry | Warning pure posion don't take | F | 2 months | 10/15/2016 | 1 | Toenail fungal infection | In the 4th week became very itchy all over, hives, random lip swelling, looked like I got in a fight and was punched in the mouth. Also headaches, joint pain and a feeling like there is a knot in my chest like I swallowed a large marbel that's stuck and won't go down. Diarrhea , abdominal pain. | So disappointed. Was really hoping I could have a normal nail but it's not worth it. Will try homeopathic or other natural methods. Do not recommend this drug 😔 | F | 46 | 4 weeks 250 1X day | 10/14/2016 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | I have noticed two quarter size bald spots in my hair. I have never had a problem with hair loss. | It's the worst thing out there for fungus infections. I know there are better solutions, but the doctors only care about money! I'm done with my doctor!!!😠😠😠😠😠😠 | F | 37 | 3 weeks 250mg | 10/7/2016 | 1 | Toenail fungus | All of them | Horrible worse than cancer treatment | M | 70 | 1 days 250 mg | 9/16/2016 | 1 | Toenail fungas | Rash Back and hip pain Ligament damage | Awful drug! | F | 49 | 6 weeks | 9/11/2016 | 1 | Fungal Nail infection | Truly awful. Sudden and extreme tension headaches, continual tiredness with bouts of total exhaustion, skin rash, occasional dizziness and difficulty in focusing on objects, unusual pains in chest, abdomen and armpit/arm. Terrible effects on stomach right the way through to colon. I've never experienced any problems with digestive system but I feel like my stomach is being poisoned. They have worked, the new bail growing is normal. However if your reading this and wondering should I - Don't. Pull your nail off with pliers, anything but Terbinafine. | This drug IS NOT FIT FOR HUMAN OR ANIMAL CONSUMPTION | M | 33 | 4 months 250 | 9/8/2016 | 1 | For fungal finger nail infection | I Had Dizziness first few days then over time extreme bloating low mood.after I decided to discontinued use I had lost of taste still ongoing it has been 5 weeks since I stopped.had extreme salt taste in my mouth even while drinking water for around one month. | Not worth it I thought I got away with just mild side effects.after stopping I had diarrhea for 2 weeks.i still can't drink milk in my tea which I use to love I can't taste sweet things some things I can but it depresses me to not taste milk chocolate.i hope my taste comes back to normal soon.doctir prescribed me three months and my nail was not that bad I damaged it from work outside and that's how I git this it is distressing as it doesn't look any better I'm now using medicated nail paint.i pray to God I can feel normal again please I'm warning you do not take lamsil it is pure posion. | F | 2 months 250 | 9/2/2016 | 1 | Athlete's foot | I'm positive this stuff destroyed my joints. I used to be a runner. One day was prescribed this stuff for a severe case of athletes foot. It worked while i was taking it but within months my joints har worn and degenerated so bad i couldnt run anymore. I surmise the lamisil suppressed basic healing and recovery processes necessary for joint maintenance. My joints have been permanently damaged. I've been waiting years for my joints to recover but they havent. Too much damage was done. Now i'm already experiencing symptoms of arthritis at my young age and running of any type is pretty much out of the question. Knees, ankles, hips and neck. This stuff pretty much ruined my life. Dont take it under any circumstances. The fungus came back and turns out it responds much better to less sugar and regular doses of bitter orange tea. | M | 34 | 3 months 250mg qd | 8/25/2016 | 1 | nail fungus | Headache immediately with severe nausea. | Will not recommended | F | 35 | 2 days 250 | 8/15/2016 | 3 | Fungal infection on big toe nail | Extreme tiredness. Regular bloating sometimes extreme. (Never experienced stomach complaints previously) Occasional irritability. Heightened general anxiety. Unusual muscular and joint aches. Find usual exercise regime sometimes impossible sometimes possible with extreme exertion. Last time I exercised I had what I believe was a tension headache, very sudden very painful. Had to walk 4 miles back! Aside from these issues the poison seems to be resulting in unaffected nail. My opinion is get the nail cut off its not worth the hell. | M | 32 | 7 weeks 250 | 8/7/2016 | 4 | Toenail fungus and skin fungus | Very little side effects. Very slight upset stomach...almost unnoticeable. | I'm on month 5.5 out of 6 and no problems. I was very worried about taking this medication but my dermatologist was not. He was right. Unless you have a history of liver problems in your family you should go ahead and take this drug. It started killing the toenail fungus at around 2-3 months, so my doctor put me on it for a total of 6 months. The worst thing about it is...you will need a blood test almost every month...and this is mucho expensive if you don't have coverage. The medicine itself is only about $75 per month, and that is if you have no insurance. Don't be afraid of it...go ahead and take it...and if you somehow are one of the minority who who has problems just stop the medication and tell your doctor, there are other medications he can give you to kill toenail fungus, but Lamisil is the most effective. By the way I also had a fungal rash on my hand (what a big issue this was for years) and the Lamisil started killing it after only a month. The toenails took longer. | M | 51 | 6 months 1 pill 1X day | 7/15/2016 | 2 | Toe nail fungus (big toe) | Dry mouth, dizziness, nausea, stomach discomfort, Bloating | I've had dry mouth and nausea since day 2 of this medication. I feel bloated all the time. I have stomach discomfort and dizziness on a regular basis. | M | 32 | 2 weeks 1 tab/ day | 7/10/2016 | 1 | toenail fungus big toe | This medicine is helping the fungus but I'm afraid I'm going to have to stop taking it. I've developed depression and anxiety and started having pinprick sensations all over my body along with itching. Also when I'm in the sun my skin feels like it's burning. | F | 39 | 3 weeks | 7/2/2016 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | When I started this medication, I had dizziness and headache. It was like I was sleepy all day at work. Have pain all over the body. Burning also started in my esophagus and mouth on the 4th day. I continued it. Now I have blood coming out of my mouth. | Will never take it. I hope there was different and safe treatment for toe nail fungus. | F | 37 | 7 days 250 mg 1X day | 6/20/2016 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | I wouldn't take again on a bet!! Severe itchy rash ALL OVER my body! | M | 59 | 3 weeks Don't reme | 6/4/2016 | 1 | Toe nail fungus on big toe | Bloody mucus fron my nose, chills, fatigue and the worse..I'm losing so much hair. I stopped taking it 10 days ago and all side effects have gone away except I am still losing a lot of hair. My hair has a completely different texture and getting very thin. | I would never recommend anyone to take this stuff. | F | 44 | 18 days 250 mg 1X day | 5/20/2016 |
