| 1 | TOENAIL FUNGUS | HEAVY JOINS PAIN. | IF YOU CAN FIND AN OPTION DIFFERENT THAN LAMISIL TAKE IT. AFTER TAKING LAMISIL FOR 90 DAYS I'M GETTING JOIN PAIN IN MY ARM, LEGS AND ANKLE. PLEASE BE AWARE THE PRICE TO GET NICE NAIL ARE TO HIGH, TRY OTHER SOLUTIONS. | M | 31 | 90 days | 11/24/2007 | 1 | fungus toenail infection | Hair loss, bad salty taste | Awful. After 11 days only I experienced a dramatic hair loss with this drug. On top of it I had an awful salty taste when coming sweet things. 5 days after stopping the drug: the bad taste went away. But I am still waiting for my hair back damit. | M | 31 | 11 days | 10/20/2009 | 1 | Toenail fungus infection | Hair loss, shedding, thinning, salty taste | AWFUL.I would not recommend this drug to anyone: my experience was just awful. My hair has become significantly thinner than it was before, and also I have noticed a significant hair loss. God, I really hope it will get thick again and grow back. Ugly salty taste appeared on the last day of treatment, but went away as soon as I quit the drug. | M | 31 | 11 days | 10/20/2009 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Hair loss (huge) | 2 weeks weeks after quiting treatment, still loosing hair. Is the hair loss induced by Lamisil reversible? How was it for you? I am already balding but I have never lost so much hair in so little time! | M | 31 | 15 days | 11/3/2009 | 1 | 1 toe nail fungus | Horrible side effects.. first week, severe diarrhea, stomach pains and more. And then they gone away, I felt much better and then the pharmacy forgot to give me 2 pills and gave me them when I picked up another prescription. I ended up getting it mixed with my meds and took a double does of it. It about killed me. And 3 days later I have had to go to urgent care and get test done because I believe my gullbladder has had a flare up or something with my liver. The pain is horrible and now I see everyone else has had horrible issues as well.. pull this drug | F | 31 | 2 months 250 | 5/17/2015 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Complete insomnia, by day 3 I had no ability to sleep at night at all, I'm writing this at 4:45 am because there was no reason to lay in bed any longer. Additionally, slight dizziness, somewhat difficulty in concentrating, and very minor flu-like symptoms in my throat and chest. | Atrocious drug. I'm definitely going to give alternative therapy a serious go. 6 months of this hell is completely unimaginable. I would not recommend this garbage to my worst enemy. Stay away from this poison at all costs. It will be weeks before my sleep cycles are back to normal. | M | 31 | 3 days 250 1X day | 4/6/2016 | 1 | fungus | brain fog all the time.change my life.almost destroy my life | dont take it | M | 31 | 50 days 1X day | 12/6/2021 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Headaches that were severe in the afternoon and night, fatigue, dizziness, nausea and tired eyes all day. | I just stopped taking this pill 2 days ago after reading the comments in this website, I'm very happy I found this otherwise I probably wouldn't known what was making my life so miserable. I think living like this is definetely not worthy just to have a nail look good, I'm making an appointment with my doctor to let her know that I'm not willing to take this anymore and to get something else if possible. If anybody that has stopped this pill has found an alternative for the fungus problem please email me or post it here. Thanks!!! Is a shame that the company that makes this pill, the doctor or the pharmacist doesn't warn you on any of these horrible side effects...and yes after 2 days off the pill my life is back to normal!!! | F | 31 | 16 days | 9/10/2007 | 5 | toenail fungus | after living with the infection on 9 of my toes for nearly 10 years and trying nearly every topical liquid/cream and every other treatment i had heard of, i gave in and tried lamisil. i was very concerned prior to taking this medication having heard the side effect potentials. i talked with my doctor quite a bit about the possibilites, did my own research and had the upfront blood work. while taking the medication i was very strict about following all my doctors advice, particularly the alcohol. i cut it to an extreme minimum. at the half way point i had the additional blood analysis, and everything was cool. it was around this time that i noticed the first signs of new, clean growth in the nails. i have now completed the 3 months of the medication and the progress appears to be continuing nicely. | M | 30 | 3 months | 12/17/2004 | 5 | toenail fungus | none really... was maybe a little more thirsty that usualy at first, so i drank more water..nothing wrong with that though. | after living with the infection on 9 of my toes for nearly 10 years and trying nearly every topical liquid/cream and every other treatment i had heard of, i gave in and tried lamisil. i was very concerned prior to taking this medication having heard the side effect potentials. i talked with my doctor quite a bit about the possibilites, did my own research and had the upfront blood work. while taking the medication i was very strict about following all my doctors advice, particularly the alcohol. i cut it to an extreme minimum. at the half way point i had the additional blood analysis, and everything was cool. it was around this time that i noticed the first signs of new, clean growth in the nails. i have now completed the 3 months of the medication and the progress appears to be continuing nicely. | M | 30 | 3 months | 12/17/2004 | 5 | Nail Fungus (big toes) | Mild burning in my stomach, remedied by taking with food. Nothing worse than that. I feel the need for a tums more often than I used to, but I could use the calcium supplementation anyway. Took Generic. | Definitely helped. I've had this fungus for 10 to 15 years now. I tried having the nail removed with no cure. This has all but the tiniest sliver gone. I read that Lamisil stays in your nail bed for a while after you stop taking it, but I may visit my doc anyway and get her opinion. I heard pure cranberry juice is good for your liver, helps to clean it out. I can't reasonably afford that, but I bought the no sugar added variety from Ocean Spray and drank 8 oz of that every day. Kept away from alcohol. Wore open-toe shoes to prevent recontamination (ideally). Eating a larger variety of veggies, too (also heard that was good for the liver). I can't avoid painkillers and other things that aren't good for the liver (except alcohol) because I get migraines a few times a month and "can't live" without my meds. Very healthy, otherwise. The only other pill or drug I take regularly is birth control. I don't even take a vitamin. | F | 30 | 4 months | 7/20/2009 | 5 | Toe Nail Fungus | Mild headaches when I first started taking the generic brand of Lamisil but they are gone now. I take it at night so that if there are any side affects they are minimal. | After reading all of the other comments on this page about this Medication I realy didn't want to take it because I was scared, I have been on the generic brand (Terbinafine) for 2 months now and I have had no other side effects. I had a blood test done to check my liver before I started the medication and 6 weeks after to be sure that my liver was not being damaged by the (Terbinafine)everything came back OK. Two of my smaller nails on my right foot & my big toe on my left foot all had the fungus, they hurt in my shoes and even while lying in bed. My nails also looked bad and I like open toed shoes. Now the pain is gone and the two small nails almost look normal again, My big toe nail is starting to grow out and looks much better. I would definitely recommend taking it. | F | 30 | 2 months | 3/9/2009 | 5 | toenail fungus | none | i had someone bring me some from mexico. worked for me. email me if you have any questions. | M | 30 | 3 months | 7/9/2008 | 5 | Toenail fungus | Been taking it for almost two months as the fungus spread on almost all my toenails, so far i have not had any of the symptoms that could arise from taking this medication. Keep in mind everyone will react differently to this medication. | I can see lamisil is doing good progress on my toenail, on my left foot which was less affected by the fungus it is approximately two thirds clear and healthy but on the right foot as it was the most affected by the fungus it is taking longer to clear, only about one third is clear. Again, everyone will react differently to this medication and so far I've been lucky that i have not had any adverse effect with it. | M | 30 | 2 months | 7/30/2008 | 4 | nail fungus | I feel like I've drank too much coffee. | M | 30 | 7 days | 8/8/2005 | 4 | nail fungus | none | I had to take 2 separate times in 2 years, all nails are clear except 1 last toenail and 2 new fingernail problems that just crept up. | M | 30 | 180 days | 12/21/2001 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | Dull minor headache on day 1 & 2. Not bad enough to impact daily activities and may not be due to medication. | I am really hoping this medicine works with little to no side effects! Everything good so far! | F | 30 | 3 days 250 MG 1X day | 7/12/2010 | 3 | toenail fungus | I'm tired ALL the time. I can't keep my eyes open most of the day. I always feel dizzy and lightheaded when I stand up and walk around. I feel very weak and the taste changes are horrible. Im done taking it now and hopefully I get good results and the side effects go away. | F | 30 | 3 months 250 1X day | 7/12/2010 | 3 | fatigue, dizzy, mild headache. Tired over all. | I wish I can say this medicine works. But it doesn't. Tried 2 three month courses and saw minimal improvement. Took generic version. The toenail sample comes back negative everytime. BUt the podiatrist is sure it's fungal the thing is lamisil is only effective against certain types of fungi. IT is not effective against candida which a majority of toenail infections are the drug sopranos is used in that case but it is one of the most dangerous drugs I have tried. It works great but always comes back with a vengeance after discontinuation. Its important to get a positive diagnosis antifungals aren't to be taking lightly they can do irreversible damage to ur liver take lamisil for longer then the 90 days preferably for 180 bc u only have one shot to kill it after that fungus becomes resistant to lamisil and it will never work the same again. | M | 30 | 90 days 250 mg 1X day | 6/7/2011 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | Dizzy heartburn. Some joint pain | I have used Lamisil in the past 3 times. While on Lamisil i never really noticed a change until maybe 3 -4 weeks after taking the course of treatment. I think i realized why. Most toenail infections are caused by Candida Albicans google it. I am minimizing my side effects by going on an anti candida diet and it has worked wonders. I hope with the anti candida diet and Lamisil i am finally able to beat this. I also used the Pinpointe nail laser costed 900.00 didnt work one bit. Don't waste your money. | M | 30 | 90 days 250 mg 1X day | 9/13/2012 |
