| 1 | Toenail Fungus | Dizziness, loss of appetite, dry mouth, insomnia, fatigue, diarrhea, tremors, anxiety, depression | First couple of days were okay. I experienced a little dizziness and a slight loss of appetite. If I forced myself to eat when I took the pill the dizziness went away. Third day I began to experience some slight anxiety. The anxiety increased on the fourth day. I began questioning my relationship with my boyfriend (whom I love dearly). Thought it might be hormonal. The fifth day I woke up with diarrhea and severe dry mouth (I've probably drank a couple gallons of water today and am peeing like crazy because of it. Probably good to get it out of my system quicker). Throughout the day I experienced a lot more anxiety. Tonight I became very depressed and even contemplated suicide to get away from the sudden and confusing anxiety and depression. Had to call my mother to come sit with me in my apartment so I wouldn't hurt myself. I've struggled with anxiety here and there (nothing severe), but this is unlike anything I've ever felt. I made the connection to Lamisil when I stumbled on this site. I'm not going to continue taking the medication! Currently I'm experiencing terrible insomnia. It's now 1:30 AM and I haven't eaten for 12 hours because I can't keep anything down/I have no appetite. It's too early to tell if the medicine is doing anything for my toes. Even if it did, I'd rather have nasty toenails than crippling depression or any of the other horrific side effects! I do not recommend this drug!! | F | 21 | 5 days 1x/d | 1/18/2016 | 2 | toenail fungus | Severe panic, shortness of breath | Not worth it | F | 49 | 10 days 250 | 1/15/2016 | 1 | Big toenail discoloration | After taking this for 2/3 weeks I started getting horrible diarrhea. Wake me up in the middle of the night diarrhea. On top of that I also started getting panick attacks/ anxiety/ rapid heartbeat. All and all I was just miserable. I stopped taking the meds and we are now about 2 months further and I'm still trying to heal my digestive tract. The diarrhea is gone, I do still have soft stools and I can't eat wheat/gluten etc any longer. My stomach wakes me up in the middle of the night because of loud rumbling..... Ugh if I had known this, I would've never taken this. Completely disrupts my life. | F | 42 | 2 weeks | 1/15/2016 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | Omg....terrible panic attics. .fear,fear ,fear | I took lamisil last year for 3 months and was very sick went from 133 pounds down to 104 within a few months diarrhea extremely could not eat anything without throwing up. In extreme extreme extreme panic attacks and didn't know why. Since the medication didn't work the first time the next year they put me on it again for 90 days the first two weeks the panic attack started again and I started to investigate on the internet and found that is one of the main symptoms is anxiety and panic attacks I would not recommend it for anyone that suffers from depression or ending mental illness or even normal people I live a normal life and then in fear for the last two weeks of my life and didn't know why. But now I do. I will stop taking it tonight. | F | 47 | 2 weeks | 1/9/2016 | 2 | Toe nail fungi | Joint pain, fever and shivering, elavated white blood cell counts, flu-like symptoms, anexiety to the highest level, panic attacks, skin rashes, increased heart beats, malaise, agitation, mood swings, depression and many more! | I had no problem for the first two weeks, then suddenly I couldn't walk due to a sever and never experienced heap joint pain plus I had flu-like symptoms and this was worsening until become like malaria or something like that symptoms. I went to see my GP, she thought I might have rose river virus, malaria or dengue fever. The tests came back negative, but I had elevated white blood cells for no reason. My GP prescribed antibiotics and some pain killers. She had no idea about the lamisil side effects niether did I! Then after sixths week, one night, I woke up in a very bad mood and suddenly felt really anxious, my heart rate went to may be 180. I went back to my GP, she thought it's due stress, then she asked me whether I still take those pills, I said yes. Then she searched online and she said actually those pills (lamisil) have some side effects and one of those is anexiety!!!! Then myself, I came here to see what are the side effects, now I realized what happened. All these problems suddenly came up due to this horrible lamisil. I still have three weeks to go and won't give up until I finish them, as my toe nails are growing back nicely. But if I would know all these side effects in the beginning, I wouldn't risk all these side effects!! | M | 38 | 3 months 250mg | 1/3/2016 | 4 | Toe nail fungus | Some nausea at first and hair shedding. | Works but is a slow process. | F | 45 | 90 days 250 1X day | 12/29/2015 | 4 | Fungus of big toe and nail | Tinnitus, dizziness occasionally, some malaise. No depression, sleep problems, or vomiting. I have slight nausea sometimes--not very bad. No other side effects at all. | I read about possible side effects before taking it, so I decided to start the medication by taking half a tablet for 4 days, taken at bedtime. The side effects can be somewhat bothersome at times, but I can already see improvement so it's worth it to me. I would NOT suggest pulling it off the market as others have suggested. Reactions are different in different people. I can only say I am mostly happy with Lamisil as I have not finished the full course of treatment. | F | 69 | 2 months 250 mg | 12/16/2015 | 2 | Toenail Fungus | Pronounced side effects include malaise, loss of appetite, and lethargy. Other side effects include abdominal discomfort, body aches, sleep disturbances, abnormal dreams, and anxiety. | I am sure Lamisil works great for curing nail fungus, but I'm not sure I'll be able to tolerate the dreadful side effects for two to three months. There must be another way. | M | 29 | 7 days 250 | 12/7/2015 | 1 | toe fungus | After using Lamisil for 1 month, I totally lost my sense of taste. Have been miserable and not being able to enjoy food. Anything that I eat literally turns into mud in my mouth. To date my sense of taste has dissappeared for 6 weeks. If I had known about this side-effect , I would never have taken Lamisil | F | 53 | 1 times 250 | 12/4/2015 | 4 | Toenail fungal infection | Sore throat,cold like symptoms, insomnia anxiety and slight sickness | I'm on the 4th month of taking this drug and i must agree with other comments on side effects.I have had my bloods done twice since I started taking this drug to check my liver is fine to continue, because of this there was a slight gap when waiting for my results only by 4 days but OMG Imside effect are worse now!! Sore throat and flue like symptoms came up straight away and terrible joint pain but iv kept taking it and my throat is going down and a lot less joint pain but iv all of a sudden gained insomnia which is driving me crazy! But uv had my toenail infection for 10 years and I can defiantly see that it's slowly working so I'm gna fight through! I have 7 weeks left on this then will need bloods I assume then the last month in going to try make sure their is no gap this time so hopefully the side effects don't get worse again..if the insomnia doesn't get better I will maybe stop taking after I finish this course.You just have to weigh up the pro and cons and see how you react I would eater struggle through for a few more months to know that there is more of a chance of this Inge toon clearing | F | 25 | 4 months 250 | 11/12/2015 | 5 | Fungal skin rash and toenails | Loss of appetite, slight nausea, headaches, exacerbation of depression and anxiety symptoms. | I just have to say that I've read a lot of the reviews, and all of the other reviewers are unfairly giving this medication a bad review because they didn't like the side effects. No medication in the world is going to be free of side effects, and if you were a well informed patient and not only discussed the medicine with your doctor but read the info that you were given by the pharmacy then none of these would come as a surprise to you. Stop blaming a "bad" doctor or "bad" medication for your willful ignorance and refusal to educate yourself about what you put into your body. Also, none of you seem to know how to follow basic instructions, as none that I've seen have correctly put in their dosage info. Makes me wonder how any of you were bright enough to even submit a review, as your reading comprehension skills and basic common sense seem to bee missing with most of you. | F | 32 | 3 weeks 250 mg | 10/15/2015 | 1 | toenail fungus | This drug was horrible for me! My sense of smell is ruined. Everything smells like oregano and sometimes even like wasp spray. And my taste is off. Sometimes drinks taste like cotton candy and then there is an aftertaste that is bitter. I wake up with the taste as well. My sleep is interrupted by waking all night and I ache all over. | I would never take this drug again! My toenail hasn't changed. I haven't taken the drug for a month and my smell and taste have not improved. Stay away from this one! | F | 65 | 3 months 250mg 7X M | 10/5/2015 | 5 | Toe fungus | Bad Rash, headaches, vomiting, itching, and insomnia. | F | 43 | 10 days 250 | 10/2/2015 | 1 | Fungal infection on leg. | Nausea; extreme diarrhea after a week; mild depression; exhaustion for no reason. | I would not recommend this drug to anyone ever! Avoid this medication at all costs and find an alternative method for treating a fungal infection. In the end, my rash caused by fungus cleared up by using an anti-fungal cream mixed with a steroid. Lamisil is not worth it! | F | 44 | 9 days 30 MG 1X day | 9/15/2015 | 2 | toenail fungus | Feel absolutely exhausted. Want to sleep all the time. No energy and put on weight. | so far no improvement but will keep on going and hope it works. | 46 | 7 days | 9/13/2015 | 1 | Fungus | Extreme fatigue, chest pain, trouble breathing, headache, body aches, anxiety! | I have been on lamisil for 17 days and could not figure out why I have felt so sick. I thought I had the flu. My head just pounds and I have shortness of breath. Starting tomorrow morning no more lamisil for me. I would never recommend this drug to anyone! | F | 57 | 3 weeks 250 mg | 9/6/2015 | 4 | Toenails | Within a half hour of taking the first pill I felt very queasy. I learned quickly that I need to take the pill with food. | My toenails overall are a lot better. However, they are not completely cured yet, there are still small areas. I plan on taking the medication as long as it takes for my nails to be completely clear. It's been over half a year, and the only thing I still notice is that my urine sometimes smells like penicillin. | F | 52 | 7 months 250 MG 1X day | 8/31/2015 | 1 | toenail fungus, athlete's foot | depression, itching of the groin and upper thighs and an unprecedented severe flare-up of athlete's foot that included swelling and skin peeling with open sores on toes. The side effects are much,much worse than the problem. | I've treated athlete's foot symptoms before with topical products with success.The only reason for taking this drug was for the yellowing and somewhat peeling toenails. The doctor said (after 35 days with Terbinafine) that the drug had not yet eradicated the problem. I have made the decision to discontinue. | M | 64 | 40 days 250 1X day | 8/30/2015 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | Flu like symptoms | About 12 hours after taking my first dose of Lamisil, I experienced a mild headache and felt a little run down. By day two, I felt like I had been hit by a bus. Terrible headache, joint pain, body aches, sore throat, sores in my mouth and on my tounge, slight dizziness and as if all that wasn't enough, I had anxiety. I would strongly discourage anyone from taking this medication. PERIOD! | F | 30 | 2 days 250 mg | 8/30/2015 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Horrible throat tightness, tried to muddle through this to see if my toe fungus would go away but at 12 days got a TERRIBLE itchy rash on my arms and legs. Went into a brief state of anaphylaxis from this drug. Rash is still persisting 3 days after stopping medication. | Do not take this medicine, it's horrible to your body. | M | 20 | 6 weeks 250MG | 8/20/2015 |
