| 3 | toenail fungus | bloating, loss of appitie, my left hand for no reason goes numb, i am anxious alot. and i have currently having right upper quadrant pain. | F | 23 | 15 days | 1/6/2009 | 3 | Toenail infection | No side effects at all | Have taken Lamisil for over 2 months. My doctor told me i need to take it for 3 months. He said I won't see any vivisble results until Christmas, Its not September. I'm not sure if this medicine is working. However, if anyone wants extra help to cure them from this bad infection, say a prayer to Saint Jude. Sometimes it's easy to loose faith but don't stop believing and say a prayer to St. Jude | M | 23 | 7 weeks | 9/6/2006 | 2 | Toenail fungus | Initially, I noticed loose stools and gas, which was fine and did not worry me. On day 20, I noticed red hives on my arms and now on my feet and around my waist. Around the same time, I also noticed some abdominal pain on my left side. Doctor recommended I stop treatment and I requested a blood test at that time, but I haven't gotten results from it yet. | I read all these comments before taking this medicine, but figured chances are I would be okay and I would make sure to get frequent blood tests. I am not happy that I will still be stuck with nail fungus, but I do feel much better that I have stopped the medication. I am going to try using Vicks VapoRub which many people claim works. I am very skeptical, but there aren't too many other choices. | M | 23 | 20 days | 4/1/2005 | 2 | Toe Nail Fungus | After taking the generic pill for 2 months I have developed really bad hives that have been going on for over 2 weeks now. I stopped taking the pill 4 days ago and have seen no improvement, but I am pretty sure that the Lamisil is cauing it. I have also had headaches, but never thought the pill caused them until now. | My toenails already look better and I have hated them for yearm but I would rather put on toenail polish then have hives as bad as I do. | F | 23 | 2 months | 9/1/2009 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Digestion Problems, Nausea, Diarrhea, Anxiety, Depression, | Have been on the medication for a while and would go through on & off anxious and depressive symptoms. Kept taking the medicine because I could see new nails coming in and could tell that it was working. Eventually my anxiety and depression got so bad one day I met with my doctor and was told to get off the medicine. Have now been off the medicine for the 6th day and the symptoms have finally gone away. What I thought and went through was not worth finishing out the final days. I had not ever felt these anxious and depressive feelings before taking this medicine. I would definitley recommend taking an alternative option. | M | 23 | 55 days 1X day | 11/21/2014 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Hair loss | I experienced severe hair loss and thinning within 2 weeks of taking this drug. By the 3rd week I knew the cause was because of the medication and stopped taking it. For a few more months I continued shedding and miniaturization of my hair. It has been 8 months since then and I continue to shed hairs albeit not as severely. I have not experienced regrowth and it looks worse than it did at the peak of the shedding. It's so depressing and I emplore you explore other options before taking this drug. There ARE other options. My confidence is ruined and I'm basically on a fast-track to being completely bald. | M | 23 | 21 days 5mg 1X day | 10/11/2022 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | I was thoroughly unhappy with having 3 toe nails totally taken over by disgusting fungus. I tried topical...didn't work. I was convinced that lamisil was the product for me. Boy, was I wrong. It took me 3 months to get my insurance (MVP) to actually get the expensive crap covered. FInally when I gave them all of the evidence I could supply them(short of cutting my damn toenail off and mailing it to them) I was able to pick up the medication. I have only taken the pills !TWICE! and woke up this morning with a severe hive breakout. Itching, unsightly, disgusting. I am stopping immediately. Plus, I don't want to lose my sense of taste, get depressed, gain weight, get hepatitis, get dizzy, get swollen or die. Thanks lamisil, you made my life very easy. | TAKE IT OFF THE MARKET. AWFUL. | M | 23 | 2 days | 5/3/2005 | 5 | Toenail fungus | I didn't get any side effects , Thank God ! .I was so scared of taking these pills cause of all the negative reviews. I prayed every time i took it =).I didn't drink any alcohol either. If you're on the fence about taking the pills try it out it's the only way you'll know if it works for you .Im glad i took them.. | My Podiatrist performed pinpointe laser and gave me a 3 month supply of lamisil for the same price, just to make sure i got rid of the fungus for sure .. So im not sure which one worked more effectively. Its been 3 months since i started taking the pills and they do look clear,but not how a regular nail looks ill give it more time to grow out the bad nail.Im scheduled for another pinpointe session in December.But so far every things good. | M | 22 | 3 months 250 mg 1X day | 9/28/2012 | 4 | Toe nail fungus | I had bloating and gain a little weight. I didnt have other side effects. | It did work for Me I have clear nails and no fungus . | F | 22 | 5 months 250mg 1X day | 11/18/2010 | 4 | 22 | 5 days | 2/2/2009 | 2 | fungus on/in left big toenail | i developed a really bad rash 1.5 months into the treatment. it started on my legs and i didn't associate it with lamisil; i just thought i was having an allergic reaction to something i used in my bath water. i continued to take lamisil and of course, the rash got worse. now it's pretty much all over my body except for my upper back and shoulders. the rash is VERY itchy and comes at me during different parts of the day. i haven't really slept well since the rash developed because i would wake up in the middle of the night scratching. it is very painful and it's pretty much driving me insane. i'd also feel fatigue and dizzy on random days since i started taking it. | i am stopping the pills today (i have 29 pills out of the prescribed 90), and hopefully, the rash would leave me soon because i can't take anymore of it. does anyone know how long it takes for the rash to go away? my toenail looks clear (the new part that has grown out), and i hope 2 months was enough to get rid of the fungus. the other side effects that i read about sound really terrible though. | F | 22 | 61 days | 2/8/2007 | 1 | toe nail fungus | nausea, dizziness, sensitivity to light, fatigue, excessive belching, ongoing GI issues | I am a healthy 22 year old. This drug has effected me so horribly, I could not possibly recommend it to anyone. I took the drug for 5 days before stopping because the nausea and fatigue were so bad. I had bouts of daily nausea, dizziness, sensitivity to light and excessive burping for about two weeks after taking. Now, four weeks after taking the drug, I get dizzy on occasion, I have to drink a lot of water, I have to eat every couple hours, and I have many gastrointestinal issues which I never had before. My doctor even agreed that this drug has been the probable cause to all my health problems. I'll take gross looking toe nails over feeling terminally ill, thanks. | F | 22 | 5 days 1X day | 7/1/2012 | 1 | toenail and fingernail fungus | bloating , water retention, weight gain despite dieting. Constipation. Malaise, some nausea, extreme fatigue (out of breath walking around the block despite running 20 miles per week previously) and daytime sleepiness. Irritability. Slightly blurred vision. lighter periods and no PMS (this was the only side effect i liked) | I weigh myself every morning. I watch my figure and eat healthy low-cal food, but it is really hard to keep the numbers on the scale down and that is upsetting. What really convinced me to stop the drug, though, was the need to sleep for most of the day and being extrememly cranky and tired and irritable when i am awake. I lack motivation to do anything and cannot concentrate (not good for grad school!) I just feel very unwell physically and mentally and this is very unlike me. As of today I am quitting the drug. I just want to feel better and it's not worth it to clear up my nails. I will just get them removed, I don't care. | F | 22 | 3 weeks | 9/14/2008 | 1 | Fungus | Heart beat increase to 112 moving and 100 when sitting. My daughter was taking this prescription. Doctors say she is ok. She was in ER, primary physician and stop the medication. I am worried about my daughter. I hope her heart will heal. I keep monitoring. I will contact a Cardiologist again and the pharmaceutical company that made these drug. Can not cross my arms. I will do whatever will be necessary to help my daughter recover her health | Can work for some people. Not for everyone | F | 22 | 45 days 1X day | 10/25/2020 | 5 | Toe nail fungus | I did not experience any side effect/ only great results | I only have 2 days left on my 84 day treatment of lamisil( the generic form ) my toenail is almost fully cleared just a small bit left to grow out I have had this fungus for like 6 years and am very glad to finally get rid of it | F | 21 | 84 days | 11/30/2009 | 5 | toenail fungus | No side effects, have been on it for 2 out of 3 months and have had no negative effects. | F | 21 | 60 days | 12/5/2008 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | I'm so glad I went thru with the Terbenafine treatment (a.k.a Lamisil). It was worth it. My toenails look like they were never damaged, well just about. My right big toe nail has a little bit more growing to do. People who take this med. are usually on it for 90 days, but I took it an extra 30 days, so 120 total. I wish I didn't because I started getting small chest pains and feeling really sick, but once that started I quit taking it ASAP, and once I did, I felt so much better. But let me tell you, I've never felt this good. Having my toes look normal, and not all gross and nasty. I can wear sandals everyday. Rain or shine. Lifes good (: | F | 21 | 4 months 250 1X day | 6/18/2012 Patient History | 5 | Toenail fungus | Only 2 days taking the pill , and I havent feel any side effects. | I was very worry about taking medicine by mouth. I was grown in a house where we were vegetarians and we basically used doctors and pills for extreme necesary situations. Im telling you I ve tried everything in the natural way or external way. It has not worked. I even tried Homepatia, and it didnt work. I hope this will work and i wont have any side effects. Im very healthy , and I feel weird taking pills. Something that really helps are the blood tests , my doctor is doing several of them as I go in the treatment. Ill keep you post about my situation. The Vegetarian girl | F | 21 | 2 days | 2/14/2007 | 4 | Fungal nails on both big toes | I experienced zero side effects. My liver enzymes remained low. | F | 21 | 90 days 500 mg 1X day | 12/10/2010 | 4 | TN Fungus | I haven't noticed anyside effects from this drug besides feeling really tired. I have been dealing with TNF for about 3 years and after completing my first 30 days on it, ive noticed a more healthy CLEAR nail at the top of the nail. I recommed you put the pill far behind your tounge and then drink it down because this pill is a "soluable" it disolves really quickly and gives you a metalic taste in your mouth. Other than that i pills have worked wonders | I cant wait to get my first Pedicure and not be HUMILIATED! | F | 21 | 60 days 250 1X day | 5/10/2011 |
