| 5 | toenail fungus | I had bad toenails for 30+ years and it began to spread to fingers. No noticeable side effects - fungus GONE quickly from fingers, took more time for toenails to grow out. (had monthly blood tests and no problems detected.) | M | 60 | 150 days 250 1X day | 1/4/2013 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Possible slight elevation in anxiety and bloatedness (though I'm generally anxious and I have eaten a lot lately) | Currently on day 70. My doctor said there's no reason to take beyond 90 days. I haven't had any alcohol. My skin rash on the foot went away within 30 days. Toe nails appear to be improving, though I'm told I can't fully assess until they're grown out. I've also decreased my sugar intake due to added stress sugar can cause liver -- not dr. recommended, just purely speculative. Overall happy experience so far. | M | 36 | 70 days 250 MG 1X day | 11/1/2012 | 5 | Toenail fungus | I didn't get any side effects , Thank God ! .I was so scared of taking these pills cause of all the negative reviews. I prayed every time i took it =).I didn't drink any alcohol either. If you're on the fence about taking the pills try it out it's the only way you'll know if it works for you .Im glad i took them.. | My Podiatrist performed pinpointe laser and gave me a 3 month supply of lamisil for the same price, just to make sure i got rid of the fungus for sure .. So im not sure which one worked more effectively. Its been 3 months since i started taking the pills and they do look clear,but not how a regular nail looks ill give it more time to grow out the bad nail.Im scheduled for another pinpointe session in December.But so far every things good. | M | 22 | 3 months 250 mg 1X day | 9/28/2012 | 5 | toenail fungus and Athletes foot | No loss of appetite, but increased thirst, so drinking lots of water. No physical change yet, but the joy I feel at the prospect of being fungus-free gives incentive to bathe feet and trim nails etc. | I've been prescribed 12 weeks' treatment. will keep y'all updated. | F | 49 | 7 days 250 1X day | 9/23/2012 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Terrible depression. Extreme fatigue. Headaches/fogginess. Nausea. | I was already off sugar and eating a vegan diet, so I didn't have alot of trouble, but the depression was unbearable. I asked the pharmacist if I could take 5-HTP 'cause I knew Lamisil interacts with anti-depressants. He said no; it's the same thing as anti-depressants. So, I went back to my doctor about the depression and he said that the pharmacist was wrong, so I could take 5-HTP. That was during the first month. Once I started on 5-HTP, and taking the Lamisil with a bedtime snack, I felt better. I figured I might as well be sleeping if the pill was going to make me feel lousy soon after taking it. I needed to take it with food, though. So that really helped me get through the whole four months. I ended up needing to take 100 mg of 5-HTP morning, noon and supper-time to get through it, but it was the only way I could stand this drug. I trust that as my toenail continues to grow out, the fungus will be gone. | F | 59 | 4 months 250 1X day | 9/20/2012 | 5 | Toenail Infiection (two nails) | Decreased alcohol tolerance Very mild feelings of depression/insecutirty - tiredness Felt a little off while taking it | Overall, this pill worked immediately, within a week I could see the pink part of my big toe nail growing in compared to others I noticed others say It took much longer for the nail to start clearing. I also had a damaged little toe nail that took much longer to grow in. By the end of the 3 months it was 85% grown out on both toes. Took diflucan for two months after (2/week), with no sides just as precaution, not sure if i needed it tho as i heard the medication stays in the nail and it should have grown out anyways. My nails are 100% cured. I drank 5-6 drinks at a time every couple weekends while on it, it did not feel good at all and I felt nasty the next day. I recommend taking MSM (2-5grams), as it helps your nails grow much faster. overall im happy i took it, in spite of the mild side effects where i felt tired and a little off. | M | 35 | 90 days 250 1X day | 9/14/2012 | 5 | Fingernail fungus | Slight decrease in appetite and some weight loss but no problems with taste or smell. Just dropped a few pounds yay! | Fungus not completely gone but all new growth is clear so it looks like it will now just grow out. Very happy with the results. | F | 32 | 3 months 250 mg 1X day | 8/9/2012 | 5 | Toenail fungus x 6 toes | None | It took months after starting to take the drug, could have been even after the 84 days, that I started noticing new nail grow in. It is 6 months after I finished the treatment and my nails are 99% clear. Just the corners of the big toes remain. To all the hypochondriacs out there, I understand your stress. I had liver function test 6 weeks in, and it was fine. A couple months after I stopped, I requested to have another LFT because I was paranoid and it was fine. The only side effect, (if you can call it that) was what Im sure were psychosomatic symptoms. I worried about my liver. I had pains my lower left of my abdomen (where I thought the liver was). When I learned where the liver was in the upper right, guess what, the pain shifted to the upper right. I suggest limiting your alcohol consumption and drink lots of water. I think I had 2 glasses of wine for special occasions. I even stopped taking acetaminophen. Wait a couple weeks before starting to drink after the treatment is over. I did not do this, and that's what really made me start to worry and the "pain" increased. I strongly suggest limiting your internet research if you are hypochondriac. You don't know the conduct or the medical history of the people reporting horrible side-effects. I'm not saying that no one on this site are credible, just saying, don't let it scare you. I will update this if anything changes but if I don't, no news is good news! For now, I’m enjoying flip-flops again | M | 31 | 84 days 250 1X day | 7/25/2012 | 5 | severe toenail infection | Almost none - intolerance of alcohol, needed to drink lots of water. | Four years on - and no relapse! My fingernail and toenails have been completely clear now since 2008. I cannot recommend this drug more highly - it has changed my life. I had severe toenail fungus for some 10 years. | F | 54 | 6 months 1X day | 6/23/2012 | 5 | Toenail fungus | I took Lamisil for 90 days as prescribed last summer, with liver function test at start and at 45 days. This was to treat fungal infections on 8 toenails. I could not be happier! No side effects whatsoever and I just trimmed the last of my fungal nails. After 15 years I no longer have to hide my nails and no more shoe discomfort around my big toe. | M | 45 | 3 months 250 mg | 6/18/2012 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | I'm so glad I went thru with the Terbenafine treatment (a.k.a Lamisil). It was worth it. My toenails look like they were never damaged, well just about. My right big toe nail has a little bit more growing to do. People who take this med. are usually on it for 90 days, but I took it an extra 30 days, so 120 total. I wish I didn't because I started getting small chest pains and feeling really sick, but once that started I quit taking it ASAP, and once I did, I felt so much better. But let me tell you, I've never felt this good. Having my toes look normal, and not all gross and nasty. I can wear sandals everyday. Rain or shine. Lifes good (: | F | 21 | 4 months 250 1X day | 6/18/2012 Patient History | 5 | Toenail Fun Guy! | No side effects encountered with this drug | So far I've been taking the generic lamisil at night time before I go to bed and had no issues with any disturbance of sense or taste. Liver test about a month ago came in clean. I've been drinking a lot of water throughout the day though I don't know if that actually helps or not. | M | 40 | 83 days 250 1X day | 5/26/2012 Patient History | 5 | Toe Nail Fungus | I had horrible stomach pains. Hard to eat. I took this a year ago. I was hoping that the stomach problems would stop when I stopped the drug. Didn't. I have since have had my pancreas checked, have had two attacks that have mimicked gall bladder problems. I have horrible bloating and I have had to take dairy and wheat out of my diet. Now they want to scope my stomach. I never had stomach issues before taking this drug. It did great on my toes, but I now have all kinds of digestive issues. Dr says it is not from the drug..... I don't believe it.... | F | 44 | 90 days 1X day | 4/11/2012 | 5 | Toe nail fungus | the first week, a werid carboad taste in my mouth...Then I started taking it before sleep...Never had any side effects. | After 3 months, I saw a ink nail root growing, I WAS SO HAPPY...But I asked 3 extra months of treatment, just in case...To be sure the bad fungus will die once for good....Since that time my nail grown fine, my big toe is not completely finish to grow, but all the new part that grow is perfectly healthy (its been 6 months i stopped Lamisil) BUT, the 2 small toe that grow back, the nail is very thinwith stripes..How they will get stronger, but ingeneral, i am VERY satisfied with the treatment! | F | 29 | 6 months 250 1X day | 1/25/2012 | 5 | Toe nail | I had zero side effects!! Maybe just a little bad breath but it was totally worth it!! my toes were horrible I didnt think it would work but after I finsh my treatment a few months later my nail started to come in clear and pretty like theyre bran new!!! | F | 25 | 3 months 250mg | 1/1/2012 | 5 | toenail fungus | No side effects | Excellent product. I was about to lose both big toe nails. Starting taking the tablets, and fungus stopped in its tracks. Continued taking till nails grew back in. This was about 4 years ago. Since then, on advice of my dermatologist, I have rubbed a bit of Lamisil cream on the base of each nail every morning, and have had no recurrence of toenail fungus. I highly recommend this product. | M | 69 | 8 months 30 mg 1X day | 10/15/2011 | 5 | toe nail fungal on both big toes | I did not have any side effects, however, I do not take any other medication. | I am very happy about the product, I always have had toe nail fungal infections and for the first time in my life I had healthy toe nails. I lost my two big toe nails again after a accident and I am starting a new course today. I tried the medicated nail varnish to treat the problem but it did not help. | F | 29 | 250 x 4 1X day | 10/13/2011 | 5 | Toe fungus | No side effects whatsoever. | Both big toenails have both been ejected (body did not want them) and fresh new uninfected nail has grown out almost halfway. Two remaining little toes with fungus have grown out with a tiny bit of infection left at the hyponichium. Severe cracking of the skin on the feet has completely disappeared. After 20+ years of having icky toes, I am thrilled! | M | 46 | 4 months 250 1X day | 9/22/2011 | 5 | Toe nail | None, once I stopped reading the side effect charts and forums. | This is the best solution for nail fungus! After 20+ years of trying everything and hiding my feet. I am now wearing flip flops again. Today I take my last pill of 90 and my toe nails (all 10) are 85% clear with just a little funk left at the end of the nails. All my blood work came back fine and I had absolutely no side affects. Thank you Lamisil for kicking some fungus a$$. If you are thinking of taking this drug... DO IT! | M | 37 | 90 days 250 MG 1X day | 7/24/2011 | 5 | Toe nail funk | No side effects except one partial day of loose stools. | This med has been a god send for me. This is the second time I've taken it. The first was about 15 yrs ago. Nail funk really bad back then. Thick, yellow and rotten! One of my nails even fell off. I took Lamisil then, it was over $300 a Rx but it worked perfectly. Had the blood tests, liver is great. Now, my new hubby handed over some funk and I noticed a bit of discoloration and breakage in my nails. Doc put me on Lamisil again because it worked so well before. Still no side effects. I actually feel really great! Seems to give me a little energy! As long as my liver tests keep coming back good I'll keep using it. Added bonus...acne is clearing up! :) | F | 43 | 7 days 250 MG 1X day | 7/13/2011 |
