I actually didn't let myself read the side effects until I had been on it for several weeks. The only thing I recognized was a slight taste thing...a minor price to pay for the fungus FINALLY going away! | try it "blind" for a few weeks, THEN see if any symptoms match. I bet it won't be as bad as all these warnings if you don't know what you're looking for. | F | 43 | 90 days | 9/26/2009 | 5 | Toe fungus | Bad Rash, headaches, vomiting, itching, and insomnia. | F | 43 | 10 days 250 | 10/2/2015 | 4 | Toenail fungus | Anxiety, shortness of breath, elevated blood-pressure, VERY offensive flatulence during sleep especially, hot and cold sweats, don't know 'bout the liver issue - Dr. says liver function normal at start of program. | Starting final 30 days of 90 day prescribed program to eliminate really uncomfortable and malformed fungul small toenail on one foot. Not convinced stopping the treatment as prescribed is warranted at this point. My physician and their physician's assistant were both very forthright regarding the possible side-effects. Two major notes here: Quit smoking after 21 years within 30 days of starting prescribed program and approximately 35 lbs. overweight at 5'9", 246#, 8 3/4" wrist, 39" waist, 18 1/2" neck, 48" chest - - normal weight is 211-222#, 34" waist, 17 1/2" neck, 46" chest. TREE STUMP is the usual nickname due to short and stout stature. VERY healthy all my life despite the smoking, probably due to the high level of physical activity I've maintained snow and water skiing, baseball umpiring, soccer referee, basketball ref - you get the picture - active, but smoker?! The shortness of breath is very concerning and has elicited an emergency | M | 43 | 61 days | 8/10/2008 | 4 | toe nail fungus | extreme fatigue, weight gain no matter how much I exercised, stomach bloating, reatining water, irritable | I was on Lamisil for 120 days, It has been almost a year since I have been off the drug and still experience stomach bloating, and the weight has not come off no matter how much I exercise. | M | 43 | 120 days | 1/25/2008 | 4 | toe-nail fungus | none | I read comments on this board before taking and was worried that I would lose my taste or worse...but 75 days into 90 day regimen, I have not had any side effects mentioned. I did have a headache with aura once at first but I occasionally get these and don't think it was related. The big toe is growing out clear and white, the little toe affected is hard to guage at this point. I have no regrets with the regimen. I am taking the lamisil generic terbinafine. | F | 43 | 75 days | 4/22/2008 | 4 | Toe Nail | Loss of Taste. I am about 30 days into it; this is the second time in my life I have taken the Oral Medication, but the first time I have any side effect. It feels as if I just ate a huge bag of salty potato chips. You know that feeling you get in your mouth about 30 minutes after eating too much salt? That's the sensation. Sort of like the salt-mouth taste you get after swimming in the ocean. | Unfortunately, once you get a case of Onychomychosis, you are likely to develop it again. This is the second time in 12 years that I did the program - but it is the first time I had a side effect. I can taste, but I wonder how long the recovery will take... | M | 43 | 90 days 250 1X day | 10/28/2011 | 4 | toenail discoloration | none while taking it 3 years ago. today i found out i have gall stones. any link? googled and found this link. so far no posts on gall stone. i wonder if lamisil has anything to do with my gall stones | took it for 4 months/ not side effect. discoloration disappeared after 4 months. | M | 43 | 4 months | 10/23/2006 | 4 | Toe nail fungal infection | M | 43 | 4 months | 8/13/2005 | 4 | toe nail fungus | Half way through the 3 month treatment, I experienced a very frustrating change in taste, almost as if it were numb--nothing tasted right. However, taste did come back normal after treatment.QUESTION: I have been experiencing HAIR BREAKAGE constantly for the last couple months. Could this be due to the drug? I am very frustated about it and want to know if it will stop now that I am off of it. | Yes, it did clear up my toes. | F | 43 | 3 months | 7/15/2007 | 3 | Toenail fungus & athlete's foot | A slight rash on the top of my affected foot and on my side for a few days at week 2 | So far, I have had no problems. After the first 4-5 weeks, my athlete's foot completely cleared up. Have been directed to take it for 6 months to get rid of the toenail fungus, though am not too keen on being on it that long. So far the blood work has been fine so no apparent impact on my liver. I have gained weight, but am not sure if it's the Lamisil, though I suspect it might be as I'm generally not prone to weight gain. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied so far and have not had any of the side effects described by others. I almost didn't take the drug as the testimonials scared me, but am glad I've at least taken it long enough to get rid of the athlete's foot (which I've had off an on for more than 20 years). | F | 43 | 8 weeks 1X day | 3/3/2011 | 3 | Slight fungus on both great toes | For the first 2 weeks I had extreme nausea, fatigue, insomnia, and a metallic taste in my mouth that could not be attributed to anything else because I do not take any other medications. Those side effects diminished a little in the following weeks, but there would be days where my tongue felt as if it were burning. My doctor claimed she had never heard of side effects such as I was describing, so I referred her to the Internet! I did stay on the medication for the entire 3 months prescribed by my doctor. My LFTs were never abnormal; they were checked every 3 months and were fine. However, the fungus is still present on my left great toe at the point of entry. My toenails have grown a good bit over this time period, but the area on the left edge of the left toe has not changed. It just grows back in looking exactly the same as it did when I started. I am now experiencing the pinching sensation again as well in that area. The right great toe looks fine. It is back to the docto | F | 43 | 90 days | 1/29/2008 | 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 | 1 big toenail fungus | About two weeks into taking Lamisil I started having severe headaches, neck cramps, tingling in the scalp, neck and under arms, and burning sensation on the scalp and forehead. About one month in my hair started feeling course and looking dry and dull, and then it started thinning. The worst so far is, this morning, two months into taking Lamisil, I noticed a two inch circular patch of hair missing! The medicine seems to be helping with the new growth of my toe nail; however, this will be the last day I take Lamisil. Please contact me with any information you may have. [email protected] | F | 43 | 4 months 250mg x1 | 4/8/2013 | 2 | fingernail & toenail fungus | sore throat, itchy, itchy rash | I just started taking Lamisil 4 weeks ago after growing disgusted looking at my fungus filled fingernails and toenails. I was doing just fine (excepting the occasional strange metallic taste in my mouth), until yesterday evening. The hives started behind my ears and less than 24 hours later, is on my scalp, my butt, my wrists, my ankles, my waist and a few near my eyes. I didn't even presume it could be the Lamisil since it was nearly a month into the prescription. Judging from what I've read on this site, this is normal. What a relief! My doctor is going to call me back today to try to figure out "Plan B", but the current instruction is to not take the drug again. Sounds like a good plan to me! :) However, I'm kind of wondering now if my screaming sore throat over the past 4 days has something to do with Lamisil, too . . . | F | 43 | 27 days | 9/30/2005 | 2 | toenail fungus | Everything tastes salty, hair loss, blurry vision, abdominal cramping and bloating, constipation, stomach cramps, itchy skin on back, fatigue, loss of appetite and eating less but gaining weight?? Very strange | At this point, I'm thinking about getting off the drug, the side effects are not worth having pretty toe nails; though I am tired of having the infection (which I've had for 8 years now) Just not sure what to do | F | 43 | 22 days | 12/1/2005 | 2 | Massive Toenail Fungus | Abdominal gas, greasy bowel movements, change in taste | I am suffering from a massive toenail fungus. Took Lamisil over 4 years ago and it went away, but within the last year it has come back with a vengeance. I am starting 60 days into the treatment and I have yet to see any new growth in my nails that show the fungus being arrested. My health insurance plan does not pay for the laser treatment, so I hope this works. All 10 of my toes are affected. I don;t understand why I am prone to this disease. | M | 43 | 30 days 250 1X day | 8/12/2013 |
