 5  toe nail fungal on both big toes I did not have any side effects, however, I do not take any other medication. I am very happy about the product, I always have had toe nail fungal infections and for the first time in my life I had healthy toe nails. I lost my two big toe nails again after a accident and I am starting a new course today. I tried the medicated nail varnish to treat the problem but it did not help. F 29

 4  Toenail fungus None whatsoever I read about all the horrific side effects of this drug and put off taking it for 6 months. My dr did not do a liver test as he said he only does this for people with symptoms or liver disease. I experienced no side effects whatsoever and continued to drink socially again with no side effects...but this is of course different for everyone. I had 3 (minor) symptoms on 3 toenails, 2 of which I know are clear. I finished treatment a week ago and see a spot on my nail that I will have my doctor look at to make sure it's not recurrence. Overall, I'm satisfied as long as the infection is gone. Don't let everyone else's bad experiences scare you-try for yourself and make the decision. It's nice not to worry about wearing sandals anymore! F 29 90 days

 4  toe nail fungus Persistent diarrhea (unexpected, urgent, stinky, watery, daily, not so nice), gas, & intestinal cramps. Probably insomnia & depression. Possibly significant hair loss too. I've been on the pill for the last 6wks and my nail IS growing back nicely even though the infection was EXTENSIVE, very nasty & caused 1/2 my big toe nail to fall off! So, given the good results, I'm willing to live with a little diarrhea. (but I'm getting a liver test this week just to be sure...) F 29 40 days

I know I have to take this medicine to clear up the fungus but I can do without the stomach pains and diarrhea. Sometimes I am afaid to eat because I know I am going to wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. F 29 14 days

 3  toe nail fungus I thought I did not get any side affects but by the 10th day of taking lamisil tablets my ankles started to swell but my left ankle more than my right. In the morning when I wake up my ankles are back to normal but by noon they swell up again that has never happened to me before so I think it is the medicine. I have a doctors appt. tommorow and I will go ahead and ask him if it is the medication which I am almost positive it is, I had high hopes to get rid of my yellow thick nails once and for all but i am assuming the doctor will probably say I should not take them anymore.

 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

 1  Toenails The first day I experienced dry mouth only but after a week I had extreme nausea, anxiety, vivid nightmares and depression. I've stopped taking them for almost 4 weeks now and still have horrible dry mouth, not interested in food, anxiety that comes on for no reason and horrible nightmares. How long will this last?

 1  Toenail fungus This is the second time I have used terbinafine. The first time I took it for three months for a finger nail fungus, the finger nail fungus disappeared at the end of that period, and the side effects were not too heavy. Now this time I only have a mild fungus on my feet, and not fully recovered toonails so my doctor advised me to do another three month cure. After one week of taking this I realize I have extreme anxiety, I am writing this wide awake in the middle of the night. I was sweating, my body feels itching and I have a sore mouth and mild headache. And during the day I felt depressed and anxious on and of. You have to understand that I am an athlete, I eat healthy and I have a healthy sleep rythme. I threw all pills away and I am going to call my doctor tomorrow to tell him I am not continuing. I hope these effects will disappear soon and I really regret taking this for the second time, especially because there was no real need for me to take this. FOR NAIL FUNGUS I WOULD RECOMMEND, HOWEVER IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY SIDE EFFECTS I WOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY. M 29 7 days

 1  foot Fungus I took one tablet I felt nausea, I left it for one week becasue I had caught cold in that time, I thought nausea is because of miss-matched with other antiobotics that I was having for flue. one week later I tried again Lamsil for 4 days. I had nausea , upset stomach and gassy stomach. I quit it, one week later, I tried to take half lamisil every day, however, my side-effects were getting even worse only by having it just for 2 day. now that I am writing this I have nausea and fever!but I can say during that 4 days that I could had Lamisil I was feeling my symptoms were getting better. this is absolutely poison , it may kill you before kill the fungus!

 1  1 Toenail infection After 3 bedtime doses, can barely stand up due to severe dizziness and disorientation. Woke up feeling as if I'd partied all nite. Normally very happy and energetic but suddenly feel very sad and depressed. Shallow breathing,gas and upper abdominal pain as well. No way I'm staying on this. I'll deal with the fungus until something better comes along. Its 3 and out for me. M 29 3 days

 1  ugly toe nails Only one week of taking this medicine, and I want to cry. I am feeling so depressed and anxious. For the past three afternoons, all I want to do is sit in a chair and cry. I am being mean to my children and I'm confused why I feel so sad. I also feel like I am going to vomit, and I keep going to the bathroom to do so (but I haven't yet). This morning, I didn't even want to get out of bed. I was too sleepy and my head feels bloated. I have the metallic taste in my mouth also. I think I am going to stop taking this medicine and see if I go back to my normal, happy self. I would never have thought that a medicine could effect me in this way, but after finding this website, I think it would be wise to stop taking Lamisil. F 29 7 days
