| 4 | Six toenails with the fungus | I didn't experience any side affects. I had my liver function tested prior to beginning treatment to make sure I wasn't at risk. | Blue Cross of California has denied me health coverage because I took this medicine. My wife left her job to take care of our newborn and we are faced with getting new insurance. Blue Cross won't cover me until at least 12 months after having taken Lamisil due to liver damage risks. So you might want to consider this if you see changing insurance in the future. | M | 37 | 90 days | 7/10/2006 | 4 | toenail fungus | I didn't link any symtoms to Lamisil until just recently. - extreme fatigue (the dr. said I had mono). - decreased white blood cell count to below normal range; low immune system. - lack of desire; don't have as much interest in doing some of the things I loved to do. - urinary tract infections (not sure if this is side effect, but maybe I got due to lower immune system). - lost 15 to 17 pounds; maybe due to lack of taste?!? but, I really didn't notice change of taste. It's been a little over a year since I've been off Lamisil and my white blood cell count is still below normal, but it is increasing. I still feel fatigued often; I've had to quit/cut back on many of the activities I used to love and be involved in....but, I do feel better than I did a year ago. And, I did gain my appetite back - and weight too! ;-) I hope everyone who has had side effects are doing much better now....it's obvious this medicine, as w/ any, affects people in different ways. | I've had toe nail fungus on most of my toes; one of my big toes was really bad. I was on Lamisil for 3 months and it cleared up my toes in about 6 months...however, I'm still having a little problem w/ that same big toe. Now, I keep cutting it back and apply topical treatments, hoping that will work...I don't want to take Lamisil again. I hope this medicine hasn't caused permanent damage to my body....and yours too! | F | 32 | 3 months | 7/1/2006 | 4 | toenail fungus | Dizzy, nausea, anxiety, nightmares, coldsweats,vision problems, stomach problems which still havent gone away. THIS STUFF IS REALLY BAD FOR YOUR SYSTEM! STAY OFF OR GET OFF. | I have converted to Sporanox and let me tell you all this stuff is awesome. I have no side effects maybe feeling fatigued. I have only gone through one pulse therapy(1 week on 3 weeks off 400mg a day. So i dont know what the results are going to be but i have to say this stuff is 100% better then lamisil. LAMISIL should be taken off market! The fungus came back, hopefully sporanox does the job. :) The reason for Lamisil being so popular is bc of marketing techniques and contracts with doctors to use there product. | M | 24 | 3 days | 6/24/2006 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | Depression around week 2 and lasted about a week. Also had a slight rash on my arms, very itchy. That's when I first found this site. It's now been 9 weeks and I'm getting the metallic taste in my mouth. | Despite the side effects, it is working. | M | 33 | 12 weeks | 6/8/2006 | 4 | Toenail fungus | Loss of appetite & extreme loss of weight, mild depression,constant tiredness | I have been taking Lamisil for 3 months now, and my toes look a lot better almost back to normal | F | 34 | 3 months | 4/21/2006 | 4 | toenail fungal infection | Loss of taste (not a big problem), thirst (ditto), diarrhea (first few weeks), tiredness, malaise and nausea (most of the time), visual disturbance (once last week), dark urine (no one else has noticed!) No rashes(thanks goodness for small mercies). | Tried all sorts of creams, nail varnishes etc, nothing worked. Had the problem for 2 years. Tablets seem to be working, fresh clean nail growing. At least 7 weeks to go, can I put up with the side effects? Is it worth it? 2.8% suffer from side effects! Laughable! Everybody I know on the tablets have some side effects. | M | 54 | 5 weeks | 2/9/2006 | 4 | toenail fungus | Loss of Taste, at 9 weeks. started with a metallic tinge then complete loss of "sweet" taste. Imagine taking a spoonfull of sugar and it tastes like sand. | M | 35 | 12 weeks | 1/30/2006 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | None. | I have had toenail fungus since about 1966/67. I was afraid of this medication for years before finally taking it. I have been on lamisil for 60 days now and toenails are looking better already. Maybe this summer I can wear sandalls and not be embarrassed by the toeanil fungus.I would have given the med a 5 but because I am not thru with it I can't say it has cure the infection.I will report more when the meds are completed. | M | 62 | 60 days | 1/11/2006 | 4 | toenail fungus | Tired and thirsty. I began taking the med in the morning but noticed that I could barely get through the rest of my work day without feeling like I needed a nap so I switched to taking it at night, which is better. I come home everyday and take a 45 min nap and usually need to go to bed by 11. My eyes feel tired in the afternoons and people have told me that they look cloudy. 7-1/2 hours of sleep doesn't do it for me anymore. I supplement with a probiotic to try to "intensify" the treatment. Although my doc says drinking is ok I've cut down on alcohol a lot b/c I'm not a big fan of liver transplants. I will also begin supplementing with liver enzymes. | I will stick it out b/c it is working as expected and so far I'm happy with the results. 1/3 toes is half-way healthy already. Good Luck! | M | 28 | 31 days | 12/22/2005 | 4 | toenail fungus | It seems that there is some speed or something in this drug. I feel like Spud in Trainspotting when he takes a dab of speed for a job interview. I have weird dreams and wake up feeling bushed, not refreshed at all. | I will be satisfied if the infection clears. I have begun to wonder what it will be like to not be on Lamisil again. | M | 31 | 67 days | 10/6/2005 | 4 | Toe nail fungal infection | M | 43 | 4 months | 8/13/2005 | 4 | nail fungus | I feel like I've drank too much coffee. | M | 30 | 7 days | 8/8/2005 | 4 | Nail Fungus | After Day 30, started to feel Malaise and Tired, with more headaches than usual. After Day 40, started losing sleep (Possibly the Caffeine interaction, I drink coffee). After Day 50, a mild but constant depression, with brief moments of extreme depression. | After nearly completing the 60 Day regimen, I still have all of my side effects, but the affected (Big Toe) nail is 1/3 grown in by now, and looking healthy; Four Years of other attempts hadn't worked - The toe had become infected after it was smashed bloody against a chair in the dark (Don't ya hate that?). I hope the Malaise clears up quickly. It's been severe enough to sap the energy I need to take care of my family and work responsibilities. I'm glad I will quit it in two days - Apparently the residue will now remain in the Nails to finish healing the Toe. | M | 49 | 58 days | 7/23/2005 | 4 | I had infection on my toes one foot | I felt very very depressed, not realizing what it was from, so i went on line to see if depression was a side affect of Lamisil and it was. Now I cant wait to get off the medication. | F | 39 | 45 days | 7/16/2005 | 4 | toenails | I never experienced any side effects....I took the pill for the recommended 3 months. | The lamisil worked, but a 4 months later the fungus is coming back in my big toe. | F | 52 | 3 months | 6/30/2005 | 4 | Infection on arm | I only need to take the pills for 14 days. After 7 days I have a pounding headache, low energy, and have had vivid, weird dreams. The skin infection is clearing up though, so I think I'll be alright and it be worth it. Ointment alone was not working. | F | 46 | 8 days | 3/31/2005 | 4 | fungal infection | loose stools , frequently , tingling in right hand , seasonal allergies a lot worse presumaably because it negates the effect of allegra , I was not warned about any side effects altho my doctor reuired a bllod test in advance | M | 51 | 2 months | 10/14/2004 | 4 | | 4/3/2004 | 4 | Fungal nail infection | Loss of taste, Nausea, tingling in 2 fingers in left hand headaches, difficulty breathing...all in alll pretty nasty. | It did however cure the problem..... | M | 48 | 6 months | 3/16/2004 | 4 | nail fungus | none | I had to take 2 separate times in 2 years, all nails are clear except 1 last toenail and 2 new fingernail problems that just crept up. | M | 30 | 180 days | 12/21/2001 |
