| 3 | Toenail fungus | Depression in all forms otherwise it works great but I cannot take constant depression so no more lamisil. | Liked having a small appetite but the depression isn't with it to live with! | F | 6 months 250mg 1X day | 2/6/2024 | 3 | Toenail fungus | Mainly just have gas as a side effect so far. I take it right before I go to bed at night. Occasionally have insomnia, but had that before taking the pills. | I used a topical lamisil/sporanox liquid mixture for 8 months, on my big toe, prior to taking the pills. My toenail looked better through the middle part, but outside edges were not clear, so started on the pills. It is looking better, but time will tell if it clears for good. | F | 66 | 35 days 250mg 1X day | 12/4/2020 | 3 | Toe nail fungal infection | Intermittent headaches and feeling drained, loss of motivation to exercise as much as normal (normally very active cyclist 10-12hrs/wk) Definite decrease in exercise capacity as measured with a power meter. Poor sleep pattern. Very tired in evenings, needing extra sleep. But worst symptom has gradually appeared after 5-months on it has been anxiety. Never had this before. Can't talk in a relaxed way, in my work environment when under stress without feeling breathless and sweaty. now. Also a few runs of heart arrhythmia (fast rate to 210 bpm) for a minute at at time when exercising hard. Horrible symptoms. Have completely cut out caffeine now, and although it has helped a bit, the anxiety symptoms persist and I can't wait to come off it. Blood tests have been fine. Also take thyroxine and triiodothyronine so suspect there is some interaction here | M | 52 | 9 months 250mg 1X day | 10/3/2020 | 3 | Toenail fungus | The first weeks of daily use were accompanied by dizziness, but this eventually went away. Sometimes slightly blurred vision. However after ca. two months of usage I developed increasing joint and muscle pain, up to the point of not being able to walk without pain anymore (I am fit and used to walk 5km daily). This has been lasting for four weeks now and I only now got that it might be due to the drugs. Stopped using it now by the doctors recommendation and should wait and see if the symptoms subside. | Took it for 14 days daily, then once per week like recommended by my doctor | F | 34 | 75 days 250 1X W | 7/16/2020 | 3 | Toe fungus | Headaches and anxiety but after some calming exercises it has gone away. Also getting miles/freckles?? | I've been looking everywhere to find out if Terbinafine causes moles and freckles. Can't find anything! I'm taking the medication now and since it's practically summer I have been outside but way less than normal. My brown skin complexion never has had freckles before but I've noticed a spot by my elbow that has freckles. Is it the medication? Anyone experiencing the same thing? Please reach out to me. Thank you! | F | 31 | 8 weeks | 6/4/2020 | 3 | Toenail fungus | So far, 90 days in, zero side effects at all, and normal liver enzymes after 90 days. It honestly feels like I'm taking a placebo for how little difference I feel in myself. Possibly just making my birth control less effective. Affected toenails grow really slow so only just seeing a sliver of growth after 90 days, but I am optimistically thinking it is looking more normal. I hope it works after all this dedication! I've re-upped my rx for another 90 days. | 35 | 90 days 1 tablet/d | 5/31/2020 | 3 | Fingernail fungus | I have hair loss. I have been getting headaches and bloating. I also gained 5 lbs. | Has anyone gained weight from taking lamisil? | F | 64 | 2 days 250mg | 5/26/2020 | 3 | Toe nails | Feels like I have a low grade flu all the time. Maybe the few alcohol beverages were really bad as I was warned . I know... I should have held out but it was my Birthday. | 52 | 30 days 250mg | 2/17/2020 | 3 | Toenail fungus | Head aches, sometimes nausea, back muscle pain, severe anxiety... | I just had a blood test to see if my liver functions are ok and they are. Is it possible to experience so many side effects despite no liver damage ? :-((( | F | 50 | 2 months 250mg | 11/16/2019 | 3 | Foot/toenail fungus | Have been struggling with severe confusion/brain fog/inability to concentrate and fatigue for weeks and couldn't figure out why. Can barely drive or work. Now I see others have also had this so I will stop taking it immediately before I either get in a car wreck or get fired. | Some people dont have side effects and you can try it but be careful. | F | 38 | 45 days 250mg | 9/27/2019 | 3 | Fungus left big toe nail (half) red | Almost half way into 90 days. Nausea and gas first few weeks. Just started with rashes 2 weeks ago. Along anterior forearms and arms, anterior torso to pelvis and thighs to back of knees. Skin has been peeling the past few days now. Haven't seen another post that described peeling. Oh and change in pee and gas odor. And yes I'm dreaming vividly. Never used to dream. Not horrible dreams tho.will talk to doctor about the peeling. | Will post again about nail on left big toe. I don't see a major change yet. | F | 37 | 45 days 250mg | 12/17/2017 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | My two big toes nails were completely gone for 15-20years. Now it seems they are starting to grow (2mm right now), will see how it goes with next month's prescription . BUT, I am experiencing a dramatic hair loss, I would say 3 times more than what I used to before taking lamisil. And some rash and ithyness. I am just hoping this hair loss is reversbale after am done with lamisil treatment. | Somehow am experiencing increased appetite, which was the opposite as what I read about the side effects. | F | 36 | 24 days 250mg/ day | 9/22/2017 | 3 | Toenail fungus | First and foremost let me just say that if it wasn't for saving 90% of my nails on my hands and toes I would have stopped this medication after the first couple days. Because I can already physically see new nail growth on my toes and it's only been ten days I'm determined to finish the full 90 day treatment. But as I lay here in bed at 4:45 in the afternoon On a Saturday because I had another sudden onset of dizziness and nausea along with sweat pouring down my face, the terbinafine research led me here.. Feeling faint Feeling dizzy Cold sweats Clammy skin Suddenly feeling like I'm over heating, sweat pouring off my face with extreme nausea Headaches Constantly feeling like you're going to vomit but never actually vomiting so you just have that terrible gross feeling in your stomach Loose stools with extreme stomach pains that would sometimes wake me in the middle of the night having me run to the bathroom | There has got to be another option for killing toenail fungus! | F | 28 | 10 days 250mg | 5/20/2017 | 3 | Toenail fungus | Started terbinafine at the start of February. Shortly thereafter, I came down with what is believed to be just a cold. It's April now, and I am now in the 7th week of said cold. Lots of crap coming up from my lungs, a lot of tightness, constriction and burning in my bronchial area, and lying down makes it worse, bringing on spasms that make me feel like I am suffocating. Have read that terbinafine can cause neutropenia, a diminution in the white blood cell count, and those are the ones that fight infection. I am surmising that terbinafine has an immuno-suppresive effect, so don't get sick while taking it! My nails are a little better. | Haven't experienced hair loss, or taste loss, or any other side effects that I can recall. | M | 52 | 90 days 250 mg 1X day | 4/13/2017 | 3 | Toe nail | Extreme and constant bloating. Soar throat not sure if it's from meds or the cold weather.. feeling a little sluggish not my normal self. Went from running at least 3-4 xs a week to no longer running I think due to lots bloating:( | This is my 2nd time on this medicine last time was 5years ago worked great clear nails soft feet whoever it came back recently. Last time no side effects this time I'm very concerned with bloating hope I'm not doing damage to my body | F | 29 | 3 weeks | 1/18/2017 | 3 | Fungal infection on big toe nail | Extreme tiredness. Regular bloating sometimes extreme. (Never experienced stomach complaints previously) Occasional irritability. Heightened general anxiety. Unusual muscular and joint aches. Find usual exercise regime sometimes impossible sometimes possible with extreme exertion. Last time I exercised I had what I believe was a tension headache, very sudden very painful. Had to walk 4 miles back! Aside from these issues the poison seems to be resulting in unaffected nail. My opinion is get the nail cut off its not worth the hell. | M | 32 | 7 weeks 250 | 8/7/2016 | 3 | Toe fungus | Fatigue, Extreme----about a month in the fatigue kicked in along with what for lack of any thing else a general feeling of LOW, hard to focus, no motivation to go DO... | Carefully consider whether or not to go this route---if one is disciplined and can do the day in/day out toe/foot care ----- Go that way....Medical profession does NOT take the time to offer up the possible side effects. I have three pills remaining, and then NO MAS! Ever again! | M | 70 | 45 days 250 MG 1X day | 3/24/2016 | 3 | Nail fungus | Mouth sores, depression, anxiety, fatigue, joint pain. | I have tried everything else for this very embarrassing nail fungus, so I am trying to tough it out and complete the course of therapy. I begged my MD for years to let me try it when nothing else worked. I don't want to have to take anti-depressants, and when I told him about the anxiety, he didn't want to give me anything for it. It says not to drink alcohol, but there isn't any other way to sleep. Taking 15-20mg melatonin, 4-6 unisom, and 5-8 calms forte a night to be able to sleep 4 hrs. Back pain so bad, I stay on a heating pad on my days off all day. Halfway through lamisil therapy. Just have to try to tough it out! | F | 48 | 10 weeks 250 mg | 3/12/2016 | 3 | toenail fungus | bloating and weight gain; anal itching (never experienced that before taking this med) | Affected toenail fell off after about 4 weeks of medication. New nail seems to be coming in clear. I am NOT happy about the weight gain/bloating! 15 lbs in a month with no changes in my eating habits (and I am a weight loss surgery patient so I physically CAN'T eat much). | F | 46 | 4 weeks 1X day | 1/28/2016 | 3 | Fingernail | Severe headache, nausea, anxiety, insomnia, depression. | On the generic. Even though I've had all of the above symptoms listed prior, nothing else worked..... So would I take this again? Probably if I had some warning this time from my Dr so I was better prepared for it. | F | 39 | 5 weeks | 7/3/2015 |
