| 1 | Toenail fungus | Extreme alcohol intolerance. Intense headaches. Insomnia. | Like a lot of other people on this site, my husband was never told about these potential side effects and now he feels like he is dying! We went to a friend birthday last night and had a few beer. He started puking almost immediately and still feels horrible. He's been on the medication for four days and has had a severe headache the entire time. He is also suffering from insomnia. | M | 28 | 4 days | 10/21/2007 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Nausea if not taken with food. | I LOVE the stuff. The only bad taste issue I've had, is when I don't take a big enough gulp of water and the pill gets stuck to my tongue. I'm actually on my 2nd round of it. I had toenail fungus in 2 toenails 12 years ago, and took Lamisil using the pulse method. It cleared it up entirely. 10 years later, after living overseas it came back FAST and in all 10 toes. This time I'm taking the 90 day course, and here I am, on day 82, and my nails are already halfway grown out PERFECTLY NORMAL. I can't wait for this summer to get here so I'm not stuck spending my days filing down the thick nails and painting them so they look normal from far away... I'll be able to go polish free! | F | 27 | 82 days | 1/19/2009 | 5 | Fungal Toenails | Loose stool, Headaches | I've had fungal toenails for over 10 years now, (believed to have gotten the infection from my father, who had awful feet) and at the age of 27 decided enough was enough. It wrecked my self esteem and I couldn't bring myself to wear sandals in the summer or get in the pool with friends because of how ugly my feet were and talk about a relationship killer. I had become skilled in filing them down and painting them so that on a quick glance you couldn't tell what my nails suffered from, but I couldn't do it anymore and decided the risks were worth it so I asked my doctor to put me on the treatment. I was so scared and read i think every review on the internet, fully expecting to have all the bad side effects like liver failure and loss of taste. I feel I have gotten lucky !!! My DR put me on a 3 month treatment, but I did my own sort of pulse method with one week on, one week off. So far out of 2 of the 3 bottles, I see pretty pink nails coming up even on my big toe which I was the most concerned about! It's working a LOT faster than I thought it would especially because my condition was so severe and toenails grow extremely slow, seemed even slower on the medication. The only side effects I have experienced so far is loose stool (tmi, but for the sake of the review I'm being honest) the entire time i've been on it and some really bad headaches. I chose to take my pills at night so that I'd hopefully sleep through most of the side effects, but would wake up each morning with a | F | 27 | 90 days 250 1X day | 11/15/2014 | 5 | Toenail fungus | Been on the meds for two weeks and have not experienced any side effects yet. Still hoping it will work!! | F | 27 | 14 days 250 mg 1X day | 5/19/2010 Patient History | 5 | Toenail Fungus/Athlete's foot rash | Malaise, depression, fatigue and chronic headaches plagued me toward the middle of 3 month treatment. I am now nearing the last two weeks of treatment and considering stopping the medication. The side effects seem to worsen through the treatment. I'm also quite bloated, gassy and retaining water. It really makes me quite ill. All of these symptoms are uncharacteristic of my body before taking Lamisil. | The medication has worked as described and the fungus is off my foot and nearly grown out of my toenails. I'm very happy with the result, it's just a difficult med to physically tolerate. | F | 27 | 3 months | 4/5/2007 | 5 | toenail fungus | Occasional mild upset stomach/gas pain; occasional headache; lethargy; upper back pain? | Had toenail fungus on 1 toe - little toe of left foot - for over 15 years. It wasn't simply a cosmetic problem for me. The toe was always red, itchy and swollen, and got recurrent athletes foot infections. The whole toe would itch including deep below the nail. This was a daily annoyance. Topical treatments (over-the-counter and prescriptions) would help with the itching somewhat as long as I used them, but never cured the problem. Also tried "vinegar" treatment for several months with no imrovement besides lessening the itch during that time. During the whole 4 months on Lamisil, physically I did not feel like my usual self. Thankfully no chronic taste disturbance, although the pill did begin to taste worse and worse going down. After completing the 4 months (continuous dosage), the itching & redness were gone, but the nail was still growing out just as thick. Podiatrist said to wait and see if heals. Over the next 4 1/2 months, the nail grew out completely healt | M | 27 | 4 months | 4/30/2006 | 5 | Toe Fungus | numbness from the waist down, vivid, horrible dreams of death, nausea, spotting | non signs of it working so far | F | 27 | 4 weeks | 2/6/2007 | 3 | nail fungus, primarilty on big toe | after 30 days of taking the meds, I have extreme itching on my head, shoulders, arms, neck, back, torsal and inner thighs. Aftert the 45days, I've had nightmares and feel tired. | I know 2 people who have taken Lamisil and have been VERY happy with the results. Can I take 6 more weeks of these side affects? Is it worth it to have clear nails? YES!!, atleast for me. As long as I don't scratch, I'm ok. I have been dealing with this infection for over 6 years now, so 6 more weeks is nothing. | F | 27 | 50 days | 4/5/2005 | 3 | Fungal nail infection | headache after the first day. feeling very dehydrated in the mornings. most importantly - libido disappeared!!!! this was very abrupt and otherwise unexplainable | the effect on the nail infection was rapid - within days there was uninfected growth showing at the base of the nail but the effect on my sex drive has meant I cannot continue with it. | M | 27 | 4 weeks | 4/10/2008 | 3 | Fingernail fungus and toe fungus | Minor rash on right hand, by the thumb, palm, and wrist. I also wake up late at night with dry throat. Called doctor and she stated that if rash extends to just take Benadril (it might be a minor allergic reaction), but if it worsen to immediately go to Urgent care. | I've been battling with toenail fungus since I was 10-12 years old. I have tried Lamisil cream, tea tree oil, tough acting Tenactin to no avail. Finally decided to take tablets when my insurance approved my prescription for four months of the generic Lamisil at $10 a 30 tablet bottle. Blood work was done and my liver enzymes were fine. I will be monitored every month when I go in for a refill. I'm using the tablets and at the same time applying Tineacide cream. I hope it works, my nails were starting to hurt when I ran. | M | 27 | 4 days | 8/24/2007 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | I am taking the generic version of lamisil. So far, so good. I'm almost two weeks into it and I noticed a looser stool this morning. | I have had the fungus for about 5 years on my big toe. I really want this fungus to go away. I tried to take the drug 2 years ago but about 20 days into it I noticed some upper right abdominal pain and discontinued use. I had and am still really paranoid about taking this drug because of the comments on this site. I'm trying to use the power of positive thinking. That's how bad I want it to go away. I'll keep you all posted. | F | 27 | 12 days | 7/4/2008 | 2 | toenail infection | After taking the drug for about three weeks, I experienced alot ot itching and periodically broke out in hives. I have since stopped taking the drug. It has only been about 3 days, but the itching and breakouts are yet to stop. | After reading some of these other comments, I am glad that I had these symptoms occurr early on. | M | 27 | 21 days | 11/5/2004 | 2 | Toenail Fungas | Diareha, slight blurred vision in right eye. Both knees have significant aching. | After starting this medication I started noticing spoty vision in my right eye. I also encountered major pains in both knees. The pain isnt always in the same spot and sometime bounches from knee to knee. I'm unsure if this is connected with lamasil, but after seeing a doctor and physical therapaist and doing blood work everything came back to be normal. I'm a young fit healthy 27 year old and never had any knee pains prior to taking this medicine. I discontinued use last week and the pain almost instantly went away. My muscles are sore from the physical therapy but I believe all knee pains are gone. My physician didnt go over the side effects of this drug and I wish he had. Each pinky toe had fungus and a quarter of my right big toe. I could have lived with it no problem. | M | 27 | 100 days 250mg 1X day | 12/16/2010 | 1 | ringworm | rash, very thirsty, bloated | I have gone off the lamisil after only four days and opted for a topical cream after breaking out in a rash on my butt and back so itchy it is actually painful. The rash has continued to spread even after discontinuing the medication. I have also been much thirstier than usual. I really hope my hair doesn't start falling out. I can't believe my doctor didn't warn me about these side effects. | F | 27 | 4 days 1X day | 2/16/2011 | 1 | Gross looking Nails. | So both big toes, both index Fingers and both ring fingers. So 30% of my collective nail count. Each being equally affected (30% disturbance, Lacking healthy curve, thick, yellowish) It's all good until day 10. I was given a 10 day regiment by my GP as she was aware of the side effects associated with the 90 day plan. Needless to say here I am at day ten and BAM! rash, dry mouth, depressed, anxious, increased heart rate, itchy and scratchy like a Simpon's episode, mouth feels like sandpaper. Thank God I still have my sense of taste! | M | 27 | 1 days 250 | 9/12/2012 | 1 | Toenail fungus on 9 toes | After only taking 1 lamisil tablet I noticed severe itching the next morning and remember that I had been itching in the night. Later that day I started to get the metalic taste in my mouth and thats what prompted me to find this site. I ceasesd taking anymore tablets and have since noticed a slight numbness thoughout my entire body not sure if this is related or not though. | Not worth the risk to me. I shall wait for science to come up with a safer meathod of irradicating this embarressing condition - roll on nano-technology :-) | M | 27 | 1 days | 2/13/2007 | 1 | Foot rash | Anxiety and severe depression. Dry mouth and bad taste in mouth. | I have struggled with anxiety for the past year and about 4 days after starting oral terbinafine my anxiety started increasing. On the 11 th day I started feeling this dark, hopeless feeling. I have had small bouts of depression in the past but never anything like this. I also had this preoccupation with suicidal thoughts. It wasn't until I took the last of my 14 pills that I decided to look at the side effects. Sure enough, changes in mood, and anxiety and depression are right there. Then I found this site and am seeing that other people have experienced a very similar situation. I took my last dose about 36 hours ago and am still having extreme symptoms. I am now just holding out hope that as the drug leaves my system I will begin to feel better. Feedback from anyone who has experienced something similar would be very reassuring! | F | 27 | 14 days 250 mg 1X day | 7/1/2015 | 1 | for 1 toenail | nausea,joint problems,weight gain,rash,trouble eating. | i would not reccomend taking this drug i am still trying to recover months down the line. | F | 27 | 2 months 200mg 1X day | 4/27/2015 | 1 | Ringworm | Bowel movements more than usual (like 5 times a day), generally feeling ill, fatigued, low libido, mildly depressed and generally feeling down, I had a sudden dizzy spell today when I was driving (!) and thought I was going to pass out. When I got out of my car I had trouble walking straight. It was terrifying. I'm stopping this medication now, especially after reading the other reviews. | F | 27 | 8 days 1X day | 5/4/2016 | 5 | Nail fungus | This medication worked for me. I had no side effects and my nails are growing out. It has taken about 5 months and my nails have grown out about 80%. | F | 26 | 30 days 1X day | 3/10/2011 |
