| 3 | Toenail fungus | I am so glad I found this I thought I was going crazy and my doctor blew off my symptoms. DEPRESSION! Sometimes I dwell on things to the point of being obsessed and I was never like that before. I am dizzy like I have had a few drinks. Fatigue so bad that most days I can't get out of bed. Tingling in my arms, hands and across my chest, ocassionally not all the time. Itching! I itch all over. I thought I had a yeast infection, but the test said no and the doctor said the Lamisil would cure it if I did. I have gained weight. I am always thirsty. My feet burn. Gas and diarrhea. My half way liver test came back normal. | The toenail on my left big toe was so thick I used a little sander to thin it. I couldn't wear closed in shoes even in the winter, it was too painful. When I got the courage to get the nail removed the doctor talked me into taking the Lamisil. My toenail is so much better I bought shoes and I can walk without pain for the first time in years. I am pretty sure I will continue. Now that I know the symptoms are from the pills, I feel better. | F | 57 | 8 weeks | 4/28/2006 | 3 | Finger nail fungus | No side affects at all until the beginning of the fourth month. I then noticed lesions developing on my chest, back, arms, and legs. My dermatologist took me off the lamisil five weeks ago and the lesions are still horrendous. They are not painful but sometimes itch. My internist thinks I may have vasculitis. Blood tests were taken with the results due next week. | I was on the medication for three months and two weeks. Due to the lesions my dermatologist took me off. It helped my nail fungus but after reading articles on vasculitis I am very concerned about my overall health. | F | 57 | | 10/26/2006 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | A fuzzy mental feeling, not a headache but a pressure in my head including anxiety. | I've heard many scarry side effects of lamisil and want to discontinue because of my side effects but I feel like continuing on a half dose (every other day instead of one each day) to lessen my symptoms. One toenail is coming out healthy, the other one is still infected. I got the prescription for about 1/3 the price at Costco ($42 for 90 day supply instead of $380). | F | 57 | 1 months | 10/2/2007 | 3 | Toenail fungus | Bad taste in mouth, some hair loss initially | One thing to consider when reading the comments on this site is that people who were dissatisfied with the product are the ones more likely to comment. Lamisil is the only medication that had a noticeably positive effect on my condition, and the side effects for me were relatively minimal. After the second course of Lamisil, the fungus had totally disappeared. Unfortunately, it came back, so now I've just finished my third course and hope it will clear up permanently. | F | 57 | 3 months | 7/20/2008 | 2 | toenail fungus | I am worried. I had a strange experience today while eating lunch. I took two bites of a salad and my throat started to swell. I stopped eating, drank water and the amount of swelling stayed constant. After a few hours my mouth under my tongue began to swell. I don't know if this is related to lamisil or not. I am on day 40 and have decided not to take tonight's dose until I talk to my doctor in the morning. | F | 57 | 40 days | 5/8/2005 | 1 | nail fungus | loss of taste, headaches, loss of weight, very weak from not being able to eat because of loss of taste, loose bowels and depressed. | After 3 weeks off of lamisil, still did not get taste back. Was told it may take longer since I smoke. Dont know if this is true or not. | F | 57 | 40 days | 3/28/2005 | 1 | Loss of taste completely on day 33! Discounted the drug, all foods tastes like cardboard, cannot tolerate anything slightly sweet, have loss 4 pounds in one week. No appetite, try to eat but it is terrible when food tastes like nothing. Very salty taste in my mouth, salivating constantly. I am 5' 4 | F | 57 | 33 days | 6/22/2004 | 1 | Toe Fungus | First of all, I would tell anyone taking the drug to stop immediately. I took the drug for two months, it did not heal my toe fungus. Later I had trouble breathing and it kept getting worse until I finally went to another doctor. Ater taking a CT Scan, they found a mass as large as a football on my liver. I had to have surgery and lost one half of my liver. It has been a year since my surgery and I am still recovering. Ibelieve lamisil was the cause of this. | F | 57 | 60 days | 10/21/2006 | 1 | toenail infection | loss of taste after about 6 weeks on the medicine | Stopped taking Lamisil and my taste returned (fortunately!) after about 6 weeks off the medicine. I found that eating without tasting impacted my life hugely. It's depressing to have eat mechanically with absolutely no enjoyment. | F | 57 | 6 weeks | 3/21/2006 | 1 | Trichophyton rubrum,montegrophyte | After a couple of weeks lost taste slightly, developed a rash and was told it would go away when medication ceased. Subsequently developed grade III oesophagitis and damage to pancreas so that I have to take Creon to digest food! | It cured the fungus appearently but left other disabilities. After a year I am still have taste disturbances, rash, gastrointestinal disturbances and a fat soluable vitamin deficiency. (There may be other deficiencies not diagnosed) | M | 57 | 150 days | 2/6/2006 | 1 | Toe infection | Bloating, gas, diarrhea, runny nose, dizzyness, heartburn, aches and pains, insomnia & tired. | M | 57 | 8 days 250 mg | 8/3/2013 | 1 | May 2012 | Update to previous email; Question for other users...has anyone ever gotten their taste back? I am in my 10th week after stopping Lamisil...I have lost a total of 20lbs... it is very hard to eat anything, my regular doctor has tested my liver, all is good, put me on Zinc, but no change yet, would someone please respond to my email address and give me hope? [email protected] pray everyday that I will be able to eat something anything again, this is a very bad drug, tell everyone not to take it, it is not worth not being able to enjoy food. Please tell me someone has recovered from this nightmare we are all going thru, I pray you have. | F | 57 | 1 weeks 1X day | 8/13/2012 | 1 | Fingernail fungus | I hav been of the drug for 40 days now. This morning my coffee tasted like coffee instead of warm salt water. The salty taste is slowly going away. My bones still hurt and I am swollen | taste is returning slowly | F | 57 | 50 1X day | 12/21/2011 Patient History | 1 | nail fungus | green stool, bad taste in mouth, abdominal pain, pain in hips and legs, rapid heart rate | F | 57 | 2 months 250 1X day | 3/5/2012 | 1 | toenail fungus | debilitating fatigue, SOB with exertion, dizziness the first 2 weeks, Got a sore throat the first week and then an URI. Went back to my GP and was Dx with Bronchitis and took 1 week of Avalox. Felt no better. Fatigue and SOB worsening. Went back the following week to GP. Still did not connect my symptoms to Lamisil. Had CXR that was normal. EKG-Nornal. Lots of labwork. Checking especially for reaccurance of my connective tissue disease of PMR. Was in bed tonite when a light went off in my brain, I felt the SOB the sames as I had previosly from a drug reaction to Methotrexate. That left my on O2 for 3 months. I really did not realize the ramifications from this med. I am stopping immediately and will call my MD tomorrow. I am so aggravated by this. | F | 57 | 23 days 250 mg 1X day | 9/12/2011 | 1 | TOENAILS | Swollen tongue; loss of sense of taste for around 3 months; abnormal blood count- still not back to "normal" 12 months later | not worth risking | F | 57 | 6 weeks 250MG 1X day | 3/20/2010 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | 6 days into this medication I began having bad stomach pain. Eating made it worse. I've missed 3 days of work now and stopped the medication yesterday. | F | 57 | 1 weeks 1X day | 4/27/2017 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Hideous drug. Headaches, fatigue but bizarre inability to sleep, frightening numbness of one side of lip and cheek, finally ghastly diarrhoea and anal inflammation. Just a very bad medication. I've never had a bad reaction to medication | Be very alert for side effects!!! I should have stopped after one week I did NOT realise side effects could be this pronounced | F | 57 | 3 weeks 30 | 4/9/2016 | 1 | Fungus | Extreme fatigue, chest pain, trouble breathing, headache, body aches, anxiety! | I have been on lamisil for 17 days and could not figure out why I have felt so sick. I thought I had the flu. My head just pounds and I have shortness of breath. Starting tomorrow morning no more lamisil for me. I would never recommend this drug to anyone! | F | 57 | 3 weeks 250 mg | 9/6/2015 | 1 | Toenail fungus | After a couple of weeks I started to experience malaise, aches and just a weird mental feeling, difficult to describe. Shortly after that , still feeling bad, I had a pretty severe ache in my left arm. For some reason I kept going and made it to about 6 or 7 weeks when I lost my sense of taste. The only taste I have is a weird, bitter, salty sensation. Flavors of food is severely altered. I quit right away when that happened. Aches and pains are bad enough but losing the sense of taste is really depressing. It's been two weeks and it's still the same. I read all of the bad reviews before starting this "poison" and was very reluctant, yet my podiatrist told me I shouldn't worry about the reviews and take the meds. I really can't believe that so many doctors completely disregard how dangerous this drug is and still recommend it. There must be hella kickbacks for docs to sell this to patients.. I don't know. All I can say is, what ever you do.... DO NOT TAKE THIS‼️⚠️👎💀 | Terrible drug...poison. I'll take my chances with natural remedies. | F | 57 | 1 days 250 | 1/5/2015 |
