| 4 | fungus on 8 toes | I experienced the metal taste in my mouth and it constipated me but i was desperate to get rid of it - i would have done anything | I've been dealing with this problem for 20+ years and i hated going shopping for shoes, especially in the summer because i couldnt wear open toe sandals - so i would have done anything to get rid of it -i took it for 60 days - its been since May and i can see a nice portion of a healthy nail, i'm so excited. | F | 37 | 60 days | 7/31/2007 | 4 | Toenail fungus | Felt dizzy, lethargic for first three days, then felt no side effects through six weeks. Bitter taste in mouth after six weeks and loss of taste for about 3-4 weeks; taste gradually came back near the end of my 3 month treatment. | Some of the side effects are difficult for a few days, but if you keep with the treatment, you will see results. I have had toenail fungus since I was a child, and have tried other drugs like Sporonox. Unlike Sporonox, I can already see the result of the drugs in all of my affected toenails. Whether or not I will relapse is a different question, but so far, the results are there, and I am very pleased. | M | 24 | 3 months | 7/23/2007 | 4 | toenail fungus | nothing severe | after only 30 days, I've noticed a small bit of clear toenail growth. This after 20 years of yellow. Seems to be working | M | 49 | 30 days | 7/17/2007 | 4 | toe nail fungus | Half way through the 3 month treatment, I experienced a very frustrating change in taste, almost as if it were numb--nothing tasted right. However, taste did come back normal after treatment.QUESTION: I have been experiencing HAIR BREAKAGE constantly for the last couple months. Could this be due to the drug? I am very frustated about it and want to know if it will stop now that I am off of it. | Yes, it did clear up my toes. | F | 43 | 3 months | 7/15/2007 | 4 | toenail fungus | I've been off the drug for almost 2 weeks now. I experienced only fatigue and possibly some hair loss. No other side effects but it appears only 3 of 5 nails are growing in normal. It does not appear to have worked for the last two nails. | I was tired all the time despite active/healthy lifestyle. I am happy with the results even though only 3 nails are better. The big toe nail was the worst and is growing in nicely. The worst part was the cost; $1200 for 3 months, not covered by insurance. | F | 41 | 90 days | 6/30/2007 | 4 | Toenail fungus | None whatsoever | I read about all the horrific side effects of this drug and put off taking it for 6 months. My dr did not do a liver test as he said he only does this for people with symptoms or liver disease. I experienced no side effects whatsoever and continued to drink socially again with no side effects...but this is of course different for everyone. I had 3 (minor) symptoms on 3 toenails, 2 of which I know are clear. I finished treatment a week ago and see a spot on my nail that I will have my doctor look at to make sure it's not recurrence. Overall, I'm satisfied as long as the infection is gone. Don't let everyone else's bad experiences scare you-try for yourself and make the decision. It's nice not to worry about wearing sandals anymore! | F | 29 | 90 days | 6/24/2007 | 4 | toe nai fungus | I'm finishing my 1st month on the pill and am beginning to loose my sense of taste. First it was a blessing as I no longer enjoyed sugar or sweet things (good diet for me) but lately regular food has been tasting bland. I haven't experienced any other side effects other than that. | The medication is definitely working. My nail bed is clearly growing out without infection. Being that I see good results, I will continue to take the pill unless I begin to notice any other side effects. | M | 36 | 30 days | 6/12/2007 | 4 | toenail fungus | I expereinced no side effects whatsoever | I can see it working and it is getting much much better than before. | F | 17 | 10 weeks | 6/6/2007 | 4 | nail fungus | rash on my arms the first week, tired, intense dreams. | I've been taking lamisil now for 3 months. My last pill was May 6th. I can see clearer nail growing in about an 1/8 of an inch from the base. It is a very slow process. I've been living with this for 10 years now. I can't go to the beach, the lake, or even swimming at a friends house. People complain about a metal taste in their mouth, I don't care. They say this pill will get rid of it then I'll take it. Will keep you posted on my progress. | M | 28 | 3 months | 5/9/2007 | 4 | Toenail infection | Hives after about six weeks - lasted about a week. No other side effects. | Two toenails were infected - the little toe and the one next to it. After 90 days on Lamisil about half of one of the toenails had new pink growth. The other one (the little toe) hadn't grown enough to see whether it would grow out without the infection. I have now been off Lamisil for 90 days. One toe seems completely cured. On the little toe I am just beginning to see new pink growth. I am hoping that within the next 6 months, it will also be completely cured. | M | 44 | 90 days | 3/31/2007 | 4 | toenail fungus | none | I have fungus in my big toenail right foot, and both little toes. I haven't really noticed any side effects, but I have had some weight gain over the past couple of months, about 7 lbs up to 120 from 113, mostly in my belly, and am quite gassy sometimes, but nothing else, no dreams or loss of taste. I am also starting to go thru menopause so weight gain could be a combination of things. I only have 10 days left of a 3 month regimen. I can't tell yet if there is any improvement, doctor says it could take a while for it to show, and may increase prescription another month yet. I run also and some damage of toenails is from my running. All bloodwork and liver tests continue to come back normal. | F | 44 | 90 days | 3/21/2007 | 4 | toenail fungal infection | I have had no side effects in 3 weeks of treatments | Reading the comments really helped me decide to take the medicine and get rid of this infection. I have been taking the pills for 3 weeks and haven't felt any side effects. In two weeks i will go for a blood test to verify my liver enzyme levels to make sure everything is ok. | F | 26 | 3 weeks | 3/15/2007 | 4 | rash on my arms the first week, tired, intense dreams. | i have had very bad case of fungus on my two big toes two and little toes for about ten years now. clearer nails are coming in slowly. im using vicks vapor rub also to kill the fungus from the top. will have pics later. | M | 28 | 6 weeks | 3/15/2007 | 4 | 4 | unusually tired all the time, alcohol doesn`t help at all with the tiredness. | I`ve head some comments about nightmares. I`m recently experiencing that as well. | F | 26 | 15 days | 2/21/2007 | 4 | toenail fungus | headache, dark urine, blurred vision leading to anxiety | my doctor was very reluctant to prescribe this medication for me, and now i can see why! i took it every morning for two weeks, and the last two days of the second week i noticed that my vision was becoming blurred. well, that sent me into an anxiety attack, i threw away the pills, called my doctor to let him know that i was discontinuing the medication, and he was glad to hear it. it's good to know that there are still some honest doctors out there who are genuinely concerned for one's health. months later, the nails (all except for one big toe) grew out clear after just two weeks treatment, and they had ALL affected for many years. i miss wearing sandals, but i just don't think it's worth the risk. i read about loss of taste, and being a low weight as it is, that really scares me. | F | 25 | 2 weeks | 2/8/2007 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | I lost my sense of taste seemingly overnight as well!?! I can taste a *little* bit of sweet things... but tasting salt is very difficult. Chips taste like cardboard. I do feel somewhat depressed, but I don't know if I can attribute that to the drug. Some of my nails are gettings better, some are not showing much signs of improvement. | M | 39 | 60 days | 12/31/2006 | 4 | Fungus in both finger and toe nails | At the start of the 6th week, my tasetbuds went haywire, seemingly overnight, everything tasted like cement (except corn flakes and chocolate pudding !). This lasted throughout the 12 week regimen and I am now off the drug for 8 weeks and I have about 85% of my tastebuds back. I lost 12 pounds since I could only stand a few bites of anything because of the bad taste. | I stuck with it because it did clear up the fingernail fungus, and I 'hope' it has worked on the toe nails, although I can't tell yet because of how long it takes the toe nails to grow in. I can see some clear nail on some of them but I am not sure I can see that on all of them. If I had to do another lamisil treatment to work on the toenails I would think long and hard because of the taste problem, but I might do it again because it would really be wonderful to not have to keep hiding my toe nails. And now I know that my taste buds do come back, albeit a few months after ending the treatment. | F | 46 | 12 weeks | 12/1/2006 | 4 | toenail discoloration | none while taking it 3 years ago. today i found out i have gall stones. any link? googled and found this link. so far no posts on gall stone. i wonder if lamisil has anything to do with my gall stones | took it for 4 months/ not side effect. discoloration disappeared after 4 months. | M | 43 | 4 months | 10/23/2006 | 4 | toe nail fungus | Persistent diarrhea (unexpected, urgent, stinky, watery, daily, not so nice), gas, & intestinal cramps. Probably insomnia & depression. Possibly significant hair loss too. | I've been on the pill for the last 6wks and my nail IS growing back nicely even though the infection was EXTENSIVE, very nasty & caused 1/2 my big toe nail to fall off! So, given the good results, I'm willing to live with a little diarrhea. (but I'm getting a liver test this week just to be sure...) | F | 29 | 40 days | 10/21/2006 | 4 | toenail fungus | mild depression, changes in taste, tired all the time | my toenails are growing in clear. I hate the side effects, not sure if I can finish. | F | 24 | 3 months | 8/8/2006 |
