I'm now on an anti-depressant, barely eating, sleeping weird hours, not working at all, can't concentrate, can't think or remember well, don't enjoy life, and can't wait until I stop taking Lamisil so my world can start going back to normal (knock on wood)... | F | 9 weeks | 11/16/2006 | 3 | candidosys | gases, mild stomach pain, hair loss, heart malaise | I took it for only four days.

Shoulders and arms hurt. Acid reflux feeling. Unable to work or focus. Fatigue. | This is poison and I am furious at my doctor from Kaiser is Los Angeles for prescribing it. I’d rather have my toes removed than feel like this again. I have been off it four four days after only taking for six and I still feel terrrible. I’m desperate for these symptoms to go away. | M | 6 days | 9/23/2018 | 1 | For fungal finger nail infection | I Had Dizziness first few days then over time extreme bloating low mood.after I decided to discontinued use I had lost of taste still ongoing it has been 5 weeks since I stopped.had extreme salt taste in my mouth even while drinking water for around one month. | Not worth it I thought I got away with just mild side effects.after stopping I had diarrhea for 2 weeks.i still can't drink milk in my tea which I use to love I can't taste sweet things some things I can but it depresses me to not taste milk chocolate.i hope my taste comes back to normal soon.doctir prescribed me three months and my nail was not that bad I damaged it from work outside and that's how I git this it is distressing as it doesn't look any better I'm now using medicated nail paint.i pray to God I can feel normal again please I'm warning you do not take lamsil it is pure posion. | F | 2 months 250 | 9/2/2016 | 1 | Hand nail fungus | Stomach pain cramping diarrhea... | Only 10 days it's horrible hope I'll be ok. | F | 10 days 250 | 4/2/2017 | 1 | Didn't have much side effects during except bloating constant.and depressive mood.after I stopped taking this posion my taste for sweet went for almost 10 weeks.now it has been my hair is falling out I really wish I never touched this stuff.i am suffering even after stopping.i also had diarrhea for 2 weeks after stopping and Toton it of my nail looks the same.exterme angry | Warning pure posion don't take | F | 2 months | 10/15/2016 | 1 | Onychomycosis | Many side effects, the worst of which has been loss of sense of taste. | In terms of side effects, there is not a way to know if you will have an adverse reaction before beginning treatment. Losing your sense of taste is devastating and occurs with enough frequency that it is not worth risking, especially given lack of hard data about when, or even if, you will recover the sense. I believe the risks far outweigh the benefits of this toxic medication. Other commenters have indicated they would rather live with the fungus than with losing one of their senses. | F | 47 days 250 mg 1X day | 11/26/2014 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Hair thinning. Can't taste foods. Foggy thinking. Anxiety | I would never recommend this drug! I have fine hair to begin with so, thinning of fine hair was very worrying. I did not notice this til after the 3 mo. was past. Also noticed that I do not taste foods like I used to. Most foods taste bland. I also have noticed dizziness and some anxiety plus mild depression. My Dr. never ordered blood work to be taken while on this medicine and only said not to drink while taking it. Very disappointed that most Dr's do not seem educated on the harmful effects of these drugs, or the face that perhaps they just don't care! | F | 3 months 1X day | 1/8/2014 | 1 | slight toe fungus | An itchy rash that started on the back of my head. Then it came out on my back, right in the middle, of course. Went to four dermatologists - NO ONE KNEW HOW TO HELP ME. Never take prescription drugs - especially this one. I have had this rash for four (yes,FOUR!) years now and probably will have to battle it the rest of my life. | Should be banned in the United States. | F | | 3/10/2008 | 1 | toe nail fungus | Fatigue, lethargy, muscle and joint pain, intense weird dreams,insomnia, muddled thinking | It took me 3 weeks to finally realize that it was this DAMN, HORRIBLE drug that was making my life miserable. My character changed so much on Lamisil.In general, I am extremely health and go the the gym regularly with a zest for life.I have stopped taking it for only one day now and feels so much better-almost like I have my life back. What is freeaky is that both my GP and Dermatologist and Pharmacist offer little warnings about the complications of this drug. STAY AWAY from this stuff! | M | 3 weeks | 1/5/2008 | 1 | toe fungus | loss of taste | Could anyone who has gained a sense of taste after losing it please write to this list? Perhaps there is something that you did that triggered a regain of taste, and knowing this, even if it is anecdotal, rather than scientific, might help others searching for ways to trigger a positive response. | F | | 2/6/2006 | 1 | toe fungi | Bad reaction that happened after 5 pills of Lamisil 250. Bad rash all over my body, burning sensation and itching. Started with severe rash up my legs that turned red, itchy and resembled welts. Dermo ordered to stop taking the s..t and began treating the effects with anti-biotic ointment, burn ointments and vinegar soaks and washes. It has been close to a months and more of the rash comes up now and then but in lesser intensity. Skin burning is also going away, scalp itching is subsiding and there is little hair fall out. Disgusting stuff especially if you are over 40. Do not use if you value your health and well being. Pharmos should be put on trial for this!!!! | DANGEROUS TOXIC S..T!!! | F | 5 days | 11/29/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | severe itching / hives | This is an updated to a comment I posted a couple weeks ago - went to Allergist yesterday- have had incessant itching and hives for three weeks with no relief. Allergist explained that it isn't an allergic reaction, rather, the Lamisil likely triggered my histamines and it started a cycle that needs to be broken. He said that there is a war between histamines and anti-histamines and whichever is better represented, will prevail. In my case, there was more histamine. Anway, he said to take 2-3 zyrtec tablets every day until you are not itching for 2-3 weeks, then scale back the zyrtec until 1 tablet a week until you are off. That should take care of the itch / hive problem. I am now on my first day of being 99% itch free in three weeks. Hope this helps any others out there suffering the same. He said it is safe to considerably more than indicated on the box but you may get drowsy. Drowsy beats itchy by a long shot! Good luck. | F | 7 days 250 1X day | 7/4/2013 |
