| 4 | Toe Nail fungus | Nails continue to improve. Hopefully will look normal in a few months for the first time in 20 years. | M | 56 | 150 days 250mg 1X day | 8/26/2011 Patient History | 4 | nail fungus | rash on inside of arms, chest, and back. Very itchy, making it difficult to sleep, I stopped taking the drug after approx 60 days. Finally, approximately 90 days after I stopped taking it, the rash faded and the itching stop. The good news is that the nail fungus appears to have been cured, but I doubt that I would go thru the experience again if the fungus comes back! | I found that extremely hot showers--using a detachable shower head to target my rash, would give me relief for 2-3 hours. I would wake up several times a night to take such showers. Also, at times, I would use a hair dryer, putting it on the "hot" position and holding it only a few inches from rash areas. This worked too, but not as well as the showers. | M | 66 | 60 days 250 mg 1X day | 7/17/2011 | 4 | nail fungus | Instead of the problems with weight loss some have reported, I have gained a little weight since taking it, although it might not be related to Lamisil. Otherwise, nothing noticeable. | I was aware of some risks of using this, but over many years, my toenail fungus grew worse, to the point where the nails on my big toes were extremely brittle and occasionally slightly painful. They were also getting very tough to trim. After taking for 90 days, the nails look better (although not dramatically.) I have been told it takes a while for them to grow out. However, the nails are much stronger now, and at least are not painful any more. I am not sure cosmetically how much better they'll look, but now they are easy to trim, and don't hurt any more. | M | 49 | 90 days 250 MG 1X day | 7/14/2011 | 4 | scalp fungus | None | Well I take terbinafine and had the worsted fungus on my scalp and its clearing up very nice and praying it never comes back | F | 39 | 4 weeks 250 1X day | 6/10/2011 | 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 | 4 | toenail fungus | after 2 1/2 months I suddenly experienced a major loss of taste. I did not research lamisil until 4 days after it started. now that i know that it is the medicine, I don't know what to do. | 50 | 3 months 250 mg 1X day | 4/30/2011 | 4 | toe nail fungus | no side effects | Almost did not take this drug after reading all that was written here. Have had no side effects at all. I take this every night before bed with water and do not let it touch my tongue like someone on here had suggested. To early to see if it is working but will continue to take until the 90 days is up. Have had toe nail fungus for many years and cannot wait to wear sandals and flip flops again one day soon! | F | 41 | 14 days 250 1X day | 3/4/2011 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | I had lower back pain if I didnt drink enough water with the pills. | I had the nail fungus on all 10 nails. I took Lamasil and the first few weeks were hard due to slight change of taste, then I realized that if I took the pill at night before bed with a full glass of water, my taste was fine. So I continued with that. Now my 3 month course is over and more than half of each toenail bed is healthy and growing out. They seem to be growing fast. I love this medicine and I cannot wait until summer to wear flip flops again. TIP: Dont read too much into these things. Its really in your mind. If you get all panicked and start thinking it wont work for you, it wont! Everyone is different, just go with it and if it doesnt work then stop but dont stop because you get scared of what happened to others. Nothing happened to me, had my liver checked 3 times, and I'm perfectly fine. My toenails are looking great. Just remember what seems to help a lot of people: TAKE THE PILL AT NIGHT WITH A LOT OF WATER! ;) | F | 26 | 90 days 250 1X day | 12/17/2010 | 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 | Toenail fungus | The only side effect so far is back pain | when i first started the drug i would take it in the middle of the day with a meal and i noticed my tongue was feeling funny, so i researched and when i came across this site i got scared, but continued anyway, TIP - TAKE THE PILL BEFORE NIGHT WITH A FULL GLASS OF WATER - AND DONT LET IT TOUCH YOUR TONGUE..haha that has been my trick and no loss of taste at all, I have clear nails growing in and its awesome. The only thing is my back hurts but other than that I'm good. | F | 26 | 74 days 250mg 1X day | 12/2/2010 | 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 | Toe nail and fingernail fungus | Bloating, constapation,stomach cramps,headaches, itch in right hand. Dry throat, coughing. But the worst is muscle and joint pain in my right arm and hand: some back pain as well. Have NOT lost sense of taste. | I would like to say that I have had toenail fungus for about 20 years and nail fungus for about 10. I have used other treatments , such as topical ones. that did not work. I am currently taking the generic for lamisil. I have to admit that this drug is very powerful and I have struggled with it for almost 10 weeks, but it does work. My finger nails are clearing up. My toes look somewhat better,but it's to soon to tell. Nothing in life comes without a price. I don't want to have to cover my nails with nailpolish for the rest of my life. It's humiliating to have this condition. It has effected my life. No one knows I have it because I cover it up. I say take it and give it a try. | F | 42 | 70 days 250mg 1X day | 8/28/2010 | 4 | Toenail fungus | Metallic taste in mouth somewhere between weeks five and six. Initially it was pronounced when eating/drinking some foods or liquids. However, it seemed to come and go in the remaining weeks of completing this medicine to where it was really not noticeable. I completed the 90 day treatment early August. I did notice some additional hair shedding a few weeks into the treatment which stopped after about two weeks. Hair loss of this type is not permanent as it is a response to the medicine, the same way going under anesthesia my cause some people's hair to shed. The hair will regrow. | I was concerned about taking this drug as my family physician would not prescribe it because she felt it was very dangerous. My podiatrist felt otherwise. He believed it safe so long as a person had no signs of liver issues. Since he was aware of my concern, he said I could have my liver checked again after the first 30 days, then again after 60 days to help ease my fears. I felt this was a safe and acceptable option. As my initial liver test was good, I opted to have my liver function retested half way through at 45 days. Again, the test test came back good. During this time, I did consume wine in modertion. I have no health problems and experienced no other side effects than what I provided. I rated this a 4 only because I am having trouble determining if it was fully effective as toenails grow out slower than fingernails. I had fungus on five toenails. The fungus did not discolor my nails, only thickened them making them uncomfortable and requiring me to file them down, so it is harder for me to tell if it is working. I believe the new growth may not be thickening up, but think it will take another few months to be sure. | F | 55 | 90 days 250 1X day | 8/20/2010 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | Dull minor headache on day 1 & 2. Not bad enough to impact daily activities and may not be due to medication. | I am really hoping this medicine works with little to no side effects! Everything good so far! | F | 30 | 3 days 250 MG 1X day | 7/12/2010 | 4 | Toe-nail fungus affecting 8 toes | Frequent Nausea and liver / abdominal pains after 3 weeks, irregular bowels, lots of wind - both ends! and towards the end big fatigue. Tonic water helped reduce the nausea and I cut alcohol, milk products and sometimes coffee. Each time the side-effects occurred I stopped the treatment (after about 3 weeks each time) then recommenced when I felt okay again so it's taken about 6 months covering 3 periods of 3 weeks treatment to complete the dose, but it does kill the fungus. Although this last period the nausea has continued longer and i stopped the treatment with about a week to go. I wouldn't want to take it again. | It does work but I discovered through the web that tea-tree oil and "Vicks" are effective so I'm using these daily / alternately to finish off the remaining millimeters of fungus on the big toes. This also works, if you file down the nail surface so it can penetrate. Thanks to the Lamisil and these two products I've new clear nails after about 10 years ! But Lamisil is not good for the body so precautions should be much stronger. | M | 58 | 6 months 250mg 1X day | 5/11/2010 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | Vivid, crazy dreams | Have been taking it for about 60 days and my toenail fungus is definately clearing up! | F | 39 | 90 days 1X day | 3/26/2010 | 4 | Toenail fungus on 2 toes | I have blamed it on my thyroid but my last thyroid test came back normal at the same time I ended my 90 day treatment. Only 2 days later and I feel 100% better! I have been suffering from being tired all the time and having a general feeling of being hungover--not able to concentrate and forgetting things(all symptoms of underactive thyroid also).... Glad to be done with this as I feel like a new person. Oh, my nails look great--first time in last 8 years! | I would recommend but beware of feeling hungover all the time! | M | 44 | 90 days 20 1X day | 3/2/2010 | 4 | Tonail fungus | Diarrhea the first couple days. Not much else. | I had my toenail removed due to an injury to it. At the time my doctor wanted me to take Lamisil for 30 days and use clearly confident cream during the healing. After speaking with my mom who works for a podiatrist, I went with their advice not to take the Lamisil. Over a year later the nail grew in only halfway and became thick and slightly yellow. I went back to the Dr and this time he offered a low dose method of 8 days on, off for 6 weeks, and on again for 8 days. I decided to take the chance as the nail looks awful. After my first 8 days I did not have much in terms of side affects except a little diarrhea the first couple days. Now I have to wait 6 weeks to take the other 8 and see what happens. | F | 34 | 8 days | 1/25/2010 | 4 | Toenail fungus on one toe | I am thirsty (dry mouth) and occasionally have a slight metallic taste, but nothing else. | I caught this early, so I expect great results. I drink rarely and when I do it is one drink. I am also swabbing my nail w/hydrogen peroxide every night, and it seems to be helping. Who knows... All and all I am happy. | F | 39 | 27 days | 1/8/2010 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | Very few side effects. Slight stomach discomfort and mild constipation for the first week. | My toenail fungus is clearing up! I just wish toenails grew faster. | M | 38 | 84 days | 11/28/2009 |
