| 4 | toenail fungus | nausea, weight gain, bloating, excessive flatulence, swelling, mild depression | This drug completely cleared up my toenails (they look normal, clear and beautiful now) but I am not convinced I would take it again...the physical side effects were too much to deal with. | F | 50 | 90 days | 11/18/2008 | 4 | Fungus on Finger Nails | Rash on legs, went way in 2 days, food ...tongue was prickly.. Don't eat spicy foods. Food tastes great at Crave, taste sweets w/o any problems. Vision, concentration, bloating, Sleepiness 12 hrs./nite still wiped out. Exhaustion notable..Computer system/work load partially responsible. Increase fluids or difficult to urinate. Winded and exasperated, no fungus after 4 1/2 week. May go off it for a while. Got blood tests to check my chems and will notify work if it is physical or mental exhaustion .. could be realted to drug or it could be a coincidence. Generic form used. | I took the generic form. | F | 50 | 1 months | 6/20/2009 | 4 | toenail fungus | after 2 1/2 months I suddenly experienced a major loss of taste. I did not research lamisil until 4 days after it started. now that i know that it is the medicine, I don't know what to do. | 50 | 3 months 250 mg 1X day | 4/30/2011 | 3 | toenail fungus | I found that I was having joint and muscle pain after a few weeks, but just chalked it up to exercise. What bothered me more was that I gained 10 pounds in six weeks, with more exercise and no change in food intake. My toes look great. All the new growth is good. So I think I'm going to take a break. BTW,I haven't had asthma for 30 years. I've had two attacks in the last month. | F | 50 | 50 days | 7/7/2006 | 3 | Fungal toenails | Nil | The medicine did help however the fungal infection returned about one month after completing the 6 month course of the tablets. | M | 50 | 6 months | 9/15/2004 | 3 | Toenail fungus | Insomnia, gaseous | Does anyone have anything positive to say about this drug? I've been taking it for 19 days now and I haven't had any serious side effects. I got for a blood test every two weeks to see if there was any change in my liver. So far, there hasn't been any change. | F | 50 | 19 days | 1/7/2009 | 3 | Toenail fungus | Head aches, sometimes nausea, back muscle pain, severe anxiety... | I just had a blood test to see if my liver functions are ok and they are. Is it possible to experience so many side effects despite no liver damage ? :-((( | F | 50 | 2 months 250mg | 11/16/2019 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | dry cotton mouth, loss of taste, tingling/numbness of tongue and lips, skin itchiness | Took generic version (Terbinafine). Was going well until the 7th week when I started to lose my taste. Didn't realize right away it was from this and ended up taking it for another 2 weeks on and off. Then started noticing that after taking it my tongue and lips began tingling and were numb. Been off it now for about a week and the tip of my tongue is still somewhat numb and tingling; still have a dry mouth, and have altered taste. Everything takes on a somewhat salty taste. It's horrible! From what I've read, appears to take a very long time for things to return to normal. Hopefully they will! Would NOT recommend this drug to anyone! The only upside is that my toenail fungus has definitely improved. Hopefully I had enough meds to clear it up. Am trying a natural method right now....using coconut oil, and hoping that will finish clearing it up. | F | 50 | 9 weeks 1X day | 4/17/2015 | 2 | Ringworm hands | It mostly got rid of my ringworm BUT... I have lost a lot of hair from Lamisil! I'm almost bald. I have circles of baldness & major thinning hair. I stopped the med 2 weeks ago but it's still falling out. I'm afraid it will be permanent. I am searching the internet to see if people have experienced the same...and IF THEIR HAIR GREW BACK? !! Please tell me your experiences. Thank you so much. | I'm praying my hair grows back. | F | 50 | 30 days 250 mg 2X day | 2/25/2021 | 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 250MG 1X day | 5/22/2017 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Besides making me very nauseous and lightheaded my biggest problem with the drug was losing all the hair on my legs... | With this drug I always feel very dizzy and nauseous. I dealt with confusion. I have stopped taking Lamisil and it has been two weeks now and I am hoping that the hair on my legs will grow back. . | M | 50 | 0 months | 3/22/2018 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Diarrhea severe on days 11 & 12, discontinued. | Not worth it. 12 weeks was the plan, but in 12 days sick with diarrhea. | F | 50 | 12 days 250mg 1X day | 3/9/2020 | 1 | Big toe nail | First day tasted something funny and had tickle in my throat second day had sore throat and flu like symptoms 3 rd day was in bed couldn't get up cold sweets so bad! now I remember why I stopped talking it before | We can send people to outer space and back but we can't find a safe gentle on body treatment for nail fungus. Oh snap!! | M | 50 | 5 days | 6/22/2015 | 1 | Fungus on one toenail | Vivid nightmares | I have had nightmares frequently while taking the generic form and will stop taking it. The discoloration of my toenail is not worth the horrible dreams. | F | 50 | 14 days | 1/24/2010 | 1 | toe fungus | constant nausea, numbness particularly in the face, mouth, arms, legs, and a feeling of spaciness | i took this drug for 5 days over the summer and these side effects arose soon after. my doctor said it was not lamisil. in the meantime i took numerous blood tests, and had a complete neurology exam but nothing. the side effects went away and like a dope i started using lamisil again this time for a month and sure enough the side effects came back over Thanksgiving and still have not gone away. Avoid this drug, it is bad news. I curse it everyday. | M | 50 | 30 days | 1/10/2009 | 1 | my .dr. said i had ringworm | itching, burning all over, anxiety or panic attacks, feeling of pressure in my head, loss of appetite, rapid weight loss, fatigue,just feeling bad | this is a very dangerous drug. i even asked if my problem could be the lamasil dr. said no. reading this website has been wonderful i now know what is wrong with me. i have seen every one of my symptoms mentioned. after a fungus test i did not have ringworm. it has been a month since i stopped and i still have symptoms. how long can this stay in your system? | F | 50 | 4 weeks | 11/11/2008 | 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 | toenail fungus | Horrible side effects including diarrhea, nauseous, disorientation, tingling in hand and tongue, headaches and worst of all, complete taste disorder. Quit 3 weeks ago, and although slight improvement (constant salty taste is not as strong), I still can't taste food. I hope my sense of taste returns. | Be careful, and consider the cost/benefit before taking. I hate toenail fungus, but would take it any day over the loss of enjoyment that food used to bring. | M | 50 | 45 days | 12/4/2009 | 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 | 1 | toenail fungus | It took 63 days for me to relate my symptoms to the Lamisil. I cannot sleep, very depressed, constipated, metallic taste, lethargic, low back pain (worse than my usual back pain), and nauseous. I have gained at least 5 pounds, but eating less. | I would recommend having a toenail removed rather than taking this medication. This medication is not worth the risk to your liver. | F | 50 | 63 days | 9/16/2006 |
