| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR LAMISIL | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | TOENAIL INFECTION | Almost none, but immediately after taking the pill I would notice some difference in how my food would taste. This would only last about 10 minutes after having taken the pill and goes away - not much of a problem. Now that I've stopped taking the medicine it is gone. | This is a wonderful drug! I just finished taking my 3 month course and I see results already. I wish I had taken it sooner. I was given generic Lamisil (terbinifine) 250mg. once daily. I tried all the other stuff (vinegar, bleach, vicks, tea tree oil) nothing worked. Trust your doctor. This is the only way to cure toenail fungus because it needs to get treated through the bloodstream. As long as your doctor does a blood check in the beginning and sees that your liver is healthy, it's a perfectly healthy drug to take. I can't wait for summer so I can wear sandals again. | M | 32 | 3 months | 11/26/2007 | 5 | Toenail fungal infection | Chemical taste, dryness in the mouth, abdominal pain | On the first place-strong chemical taste that appeared in 2h after taking of Lamisil, second- dryness in the mouth. Both those side effects almost disappeared after 2 month of taking drug. Also little bit of hair loss (but it can be as a result my iron deficiency). And abdominal pain during jogging (it stopped after I finished taking Lamisil). I was aware about Lamisil side affects, but decided to try, and think in my case it worthed it. (treatment was successful). | F | 32 | 3 months | 7/18/2008 | 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 | 4 | Toenail fungus | Nausea, loss of appetite, headache, fatigue. | Started taking on a Thursday. Side effects started Monday and lasted through Wednesday, then disappeared. It seems like many people stop taking this the minute side effects appear, but they're worth pushing through. I have 90 days total to take (with liver test halfway) so it remains to be seen if they clear up my nails completely, but the skin on my feet is already showing improvements. | F | 32 | 14 days 250mg 1X day | 2/1/2021 | 4 | two toe nails infected | Fatigue,insomnia,horrible nightmares,diarrhea,confusion,blank staring,spacey,both loss of appitite, and hungry more than normal, yeast infection. | I have been on it for a month and half, and though it has completly heeled my foot, I had two toe nails infected and exstreme blisters that would burn on the side of my foot, and the bottom of my foot the skin would peel in chunks, it was the most painful thing to endure.But I do not feel right, I have self choosen to take my self off the pills. Today is the first day. And now that I see I am not the only one with such horrible side effects, it is a shame that it worked so well, yet the side effects are too much to bare. I want to feel somewhat normal again. Good luck to you... | F | 32 | 2 months | 5/24/2008 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | Nausea, headaches, abdominal pain, gas, bloating, some hair loss, irregular periods, fatigue, weight gain around my middle (which is unusual since I usually gain weight in my hips and thighs). | The abdominal pain went away after I stopped taking my daily vitamins. I also couldn't exercise for at least 3 hours after taking the Lamisil or else I would get abdominal pain lasting all day. I'm a bit worried about my weird periods....it has started 4 days early each month and is extremely light. The gas and bloating is extremely annoying, but tolerable. Overall, the side-effects are annoying but not bad enough to make me stop taking the medication. Although I am very eagerly awaiting my last dose. My toenails seem to be clearing up nicely. I had used over the counter meds for two years and the fungus never went away, which is why I finally decided to go ahead with the Lamisil. | F | 32 | 70 days | 6/22/2008 | 4 | toenail/foot fungus | nausea, fatigue, stomach cramps, occasional muscle and back aches | i've already done 1 liver test and all is good. i'll do another in two weeks. i would rather look too often than not often enough. | M | 32 | 15 days 250 1X day | 3/29/2012 | 4 | toenail fungus | I didn't link any symtoms to Lamisil until just recently. - extreme fatigue (the dr. said I had mono). - decreased white blood cell count to below normal range; low immune system. - lack of desire; don't have as much interest in doing some of the things I loved to do. - urinary tract infections (not sure if this is side effect, but maybe I got due to lower immune system). - lost 15 to 17 pounds; maybe due to lack of taste?!? but, I really didn't notice change of taste. It's been a little over a year since I've been off Lamisil and my white blood cell count is still below normal, but it is increasing. I still feel fatigued often; I've had to quit/cut back on many of the activities I used to love and be involved in....but, I do feel better than I did a year ago. And, I did gain my appetite back - and weight too! ;-) I hope everyone who has had side effects are doing much better now....it's obvious this medicine, as w/ any, affects people in different ways. | I've had toe nail fungus on most of my toes; one of my big toes was really bad. I was on Lamisil for 3 months and it cleared up my toes in about 6 months...however, I'm still having a little problem w/ that same big toe. Now, I keep cutting it back and apply topical treatments, hoping that will work...I don't want to take Lamisil again. I hope this medicine hasn't caused permanent damage to my body....and yours too! | F | 32 | 3 months | 7/1/2006 | 3 | Jock Itch | On Lamisil I experienced about 15 marble sized cysts in my groin area discharging a green mucus. They were TERRIBLY painful. The skin has peeled off about 5 times over with a red soreness which is almost unbearable. Getting off the medication i then experienced severe itchiness to the groin area. It is like a tingling and my hair follicles are ultra sensitive and rub continually causing an unbearable itchiness. Another way to describe it is like ants biting me constantly. No creams or ointments give relief. Now 6 weeks after taking Lamisil the doctor has no clue what to give me and I am continually in pain. | Going back I have had jock itch for some 10 years. I would rather the jock itch anyday than the itchiness I have now from this medicationI find no relief from the side effects of itchiness!! I would not recommend this medication!! | M | 32 | 40 days 250mg 1X day | 7/4/2011 | 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 | 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 | 2 | Nail Fungus | Hair thinning, metallic taste in mouth. | Between the noticeable thinning hair and the bad taste in my mouth I was miserable during the last month. First 2 months were fine. I had 6 pills left, but flushed them down the toilet as soon as I link Lamisil to hair loss..... | M | 32 | 3 months 250 1X day | 3/9/2011 | 1 | Toe Nail Fungus | Weigh the side effects carefully: I thought my endocrine system was shutting down. Fatigue set in and I actually considered having my doctor run a mono or epstein bar bloodtest. Metallic taste in mouth, BEYOND Fatigue, Body aches, vertigo, cannot sleep, headaches - I literally thought I was going to die earlier this week. I am stopping this medicine 7 days short - I cannot justify another week because I am too scared that the side effects will never go away - my vision is also blurry. Poison. Poison. | Some toe nail clarity at base of nail - had 3 toe nails affected. Honestly, I will NEVER do this again because I'm scared I destroyed my health permanently. I would rather have all 3 toe nails removed and sport no toe nails than to feel this dead. | F | 32 | 82 days 150 1X day | 5/23/2011 | 1 | Athlete's Foot | Extreme fatigue, heart palpitations, anxiety, blurry/double vision | I was warned that about potential side effects, but the fact that I'm extremely healthy was supposed to virtually eliminate the risks. The side effects came on slowly, starting with the mono-like fatigue, growing anxiety and heart palpitations, but they were bearable if it meant getting rid of the rash. I finally discontinued taking it when my vision suddenly changed (right eye seemingly worse) and the symptoms included: double vision, blurry vision (it would cut in and out) and halos around lights at night. I stopped taking it two weeks ago and my energy level has increased, heart palpitations have stopped and anxiety has largely dissipated. Unfortunately, my vision has not come close to fully returning to normal and I'm hoping that it will completely recover with additional time. I cannot find much in regard to vision changes being temporary or permanent, so if anyone has had vision issues (esp if they have proven to be temporary), please let me know. | M | 32 | 6 weeks 250MG 1X day | 11/3/2010 | 1 | Fungus in one toenail | tired all of the time, metal salty taste in mouth, complete loss of taste | I started this medication and last week stopped taking it due to the horrible side effects...I had taken it for 6 weeks when i stopped.Its been a week and I can still taste nothing and have the nasty metallic, salty, dry mouth and it is awful...I'm a little worried about how long it seems to take to get your taste back after reading all of the comments on here...its pure hell smelling all the food and your stomach growling but u can't eat it because its so disgusting! I've been living off french vanilla nestle carnation good start for the past week as thats the only thing that tastes remotely normal...i would never recommend this drug to anyone, I would rather live with the infected toenail forever than to deal with this! | F | 32 | 90 days 250 mg 1X day | 9/15/2010 | 1 | toe funghi | severe upper abdominal pain , constipation, gastric issues | Shame I have been on it for 10 weeks now not long to go but what is happening with my stomach now is actually scary. | F | 32 | 70 days 250 1X day | 3/3/2012 | 1 | Toe Fungus | Constipation, joint pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, bad taste in mouth, loss of appetite, and anxiousness. If you have ever had a bad reaction to any other drug, DO NOT take this medication. My symptoms came on slowly until I couldn't take it. Then it took five days to feel almost normal. | F | 32 | 10 days | 7/13/2012 | 1 | Toe nail infection | Horrible rashes all over my body | Horrible rashes all over my body after 4 weeks of taking this tablet. I did not associate the rashes with the tablets at the beginning. And my doctor said if i am allergic to this medicine then I would have the rashes right away (not after 4 weeks). I believed him and continued to take the tablets for another week. Then I had to stop. The rashes spread to all over my body - itchy and hot. I could not think of another reason that I have rashes. I never had an allergic reaction to anything in my whole life. I've stopped taking the tablet for 3 weeks now. The rashes become less and less. I did not see any obvious improvement on my toe nail infection. You should definitely be very careful when taking this medicine or not taking it at all. | F | 32 | 35 days 25 1X day | 7/17/2011 | 1 | toenail fungus | sleep all the time, had a few days with no sleep at all, increase in irritibleness, pain, tingling, and numbness in both hands and arms, gaseous for about a week, feeling like someone reached inside my chest and was squeezing for about a week, metalic taste, can taste some sweet things, other things not at all, noticed extra pain and itching in toenail (may have been associated with having ingrown nail removed). | Side effets should have been studied more. Doctor told me I would have to take for about 6 to 9 months before seeing results. NOT!! Only took for about 2 months. I'm Italian, so not being able to taste is a fate next to death for me, especially since Christmas is 6 days away. I will be consulting other doctors and an attorney. | F | 32 | 2 months | 12/19/2005 | 1 | Nail Fungus | I can't taste and everything tastes salty. I can't look at the computer monitor very long at work. Today I was stuck at a train and I got dizzy watching the cars go by. I am having trouble speaking fast. My chest hurts. I am stopping this. This stuff is evil. | M | 32 | 7 days | 5/31/2005 |
