| 5 | Toe Nail Fungus | No side effects. | Ive been taking the generic form of the lamisil pill for 3 weeks now and have had no side effects so far. I take the pill before i go to sleep, stay away from alcohol, and drink plenty of water. This method seems to be working very well for me. I can see the new nail starting to grow in an im really pleased. Hopefully I will continue to have good results and no side effects. After reading this forum i have noticed that most side effects seem to occur with older people. I wonder if there is a correlation between this or if its just a coincident?? If anyone has any feedback let me know. Will keep updated as i continue to take the pill. | M | 24 | 3 weeks | 5/1/2009 | 5 | None | Doctor prescribed one prescription of Lamisil (generic) for toenail fungus (big toe on each foot). Instructed to take for seven days every three months (April, July, October & January); just finish first seven days with no side effects. | F | 60 | 7 days | 4/28/2009 | 5 | toenail fungus | none whatsoever | worked exactly like they said. no side effects at all. Toenails are now as normal looking as ever. I am very happy with the results | F | 39 | 90 days | 4/16/2009 | 5 | toe nail fungus | increased gas, increased thirst | The first few days I felt a little dizzy so I increased my water. I felt better. I really have no negative side effects at all. I am sleeping great on this. I am a nurse, so I am really keeping a close eye out for liver function/renal problems. My blood work has all been textbook. My toe nail is already looking better. Drink LOTS of water and avoid alcohol completely. So far, so good!!! | F | 39 | 5 weeks | 4/2/2009 | 5 | Toe Nail Fungus | Mild headaches when I first started taking the generic brand of Lamisil but they are gone now. I take it at night so that if there are any side affects they are minimal. | After reading all of the other comments on this page about this Medication I realy didn't want to take it because I was scared, I have been on the generic brand (Terbinafine) for 2 months now and I have had no other side effects. I had a blood test done to check my liver before I started the medication and 6 weeks after to be sure that my liver was not being damaged by the (Terbinafine)everything came back OK. Two of my smaller nails on my right foot & my big toe on my left foot all had the fungus, they hurt in my shoes and even while lying in bed. My nails also looked bad and I like open toed shoes. Now the pain is gone and the two small nails almost look normal again, My big toe nail is starting to grow out and looks much better. I would definitely recommend taking it. | F | 30 | 2 months | 3/9/2009 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Very few side effects, mostly transient. | I am halfway through the 90 day treatment and have been very pleased to see the nails are already growing out pink at the base. I take my pill immediately before bedtime so any transient side-effects are minimized (I sleep through the worst of them and feel good during the day). I have abstained from alcohol 100% during my treatment and my bloodwork so far has been perfect. | M | 46 | 45 days | 2/23/2009 | 5 | Foot Fungus | None - I am an RN. If you are somewhat intelligent and healthy, you will be fine. | Does exactly what it was designed for. | M | 33 | 30 days | 1/25/2009 | 5 | Foot and toe nail fungus | No side effects at all. It is working great already. Been taking it now for 30 days and the foot fungus is gone. Toes are just starting looking better. Just had a liver function test and everything is fine | I was scared to death by all the bad comments on the site until I started scanning for the happy people's comments. One of them felt just like me that many of the happy people probably don't take the time to post on the site. I say try the drug and you can always stop if you have problems but not trying at all is just CRAZY | M | 53 | 30 days | 1/21/2009 | 5 | toe nail fungus | no side effects at all/ very happy with the results! | I have now completed my 90 days and I am thrilled! As one of the previous people said, I lived miserably for 2 years, hiding my toes, no sandals & such because I was SO terrified by all of these testimonials of awful things ( and SO many for some people). I agree with the previous person, I eat healthy, low fat, exercise & dont smoke, and had none of these problems. My only regret was not starting the drug sooner. I think its very unlikely this one drug can cause the thirty different problems that people have come up with. Next thing you know, they'll blame the economy on this drug! | F | 44 | 90 days | 1/20/2009 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Nausea if not taken with food. | I LOVE the stuff. The only bad taste issue I've had, is when I don't take a big enough gulp of water and the pill gets stuck to my tongue. I'm actually on my 2nd round of it. I had toenail fungus in 2 toenails 12 years ago, and took Lamisil using the pulse method. It cleared it up entirely. 10 years later, after living overseas it came back FAST and in all 10 toes. This time I'm taking the 90 day course, and here I am, on day 82, and my nails are already halfway grown out PERFECTLY NORMAL. I can't wait for this summer to get here so I'm not stuck spending my days filing down the thick nails and painting them so they look normal from far away... I'll be able to go polish free! | F | 27 | 82 days | 1/19/2009 | 5 | Fungus under my two big toe nails | Nauseous, low grade fever, lightheaded during the day and insomnia at night. | Almost the entire three months of taking Lamisil, I experienced flu like symptoms and insomnia. I knew that the drug was toxic because my Doctor made me take many liver tests before giving me a prescription. In addition, I ran into a nurse when first buying my prescription and she tried to talk me out of using it...just cover it up with nail polish she said...my case was very minor, but I was tired of wearing nail polish and more determined than ever to rid my body of the fungus...After starting Lamisil, I read this website and was astonished at all the negative comments...I came across one that said you have to keep in mind when taking this medication...no pain...no gain. I persevered and finished the medication because I wasn't about to let this fungus under my toenails embarrass me any longer...I'm now done with my three month supply and my toenails look almost normal...my doctor told me that it often takes eight months after taking Lamisil to have your nails fully grown out without | F | 43 | 90 days | 1/3/2009 | 5 | toenail fungus | No side effects, have been on it for 2 out of 3 months and have had no negative effects. | F | 21 | 60 days | 12/5/2008 | 5 | severe toenail fungus | none - other than intolerance to alcohol, less tolerance of coffee and slight headaches until I upped my water intake | UPDATE: I took Lamisil from Nov 2006 to July 2007. Two years from when I started - toenails still clear, ditto thumbnail. I scrupulously apply a topical cream fortnightly though. Buying and wearing open toed shoes is just wonderful! This is my second southern hemisphere summer in sandals - oh joy! I so wish I had done this years ago, but the health forum scaremongering got to me. I'm amazed at the spectrum of reactions - I was and still am in perfect health. If you're fit and healthy, and eat a good diet, should be fine. But don't drink on this medicine! My diet is low-fat and healthy, so I'm not sure whether people who eat junk food, take-away and preservatives would have the same experience I did. BTW part of my problem was ingrown big toenails - I've had those fixed and now I'm certain there's no infection lurking there. | F | 51 | 8 months | 11/30/2008 | 5 | Fingernail Fungus | None | About 4 weeks after starting treatment, I could tell that it was definitely working. My prescription was for 6 weeks without any refills. Unfortunately though, the fungus seems to have returned after about 3 months - may be due to my nail clippers or fingernail polish, of which both will be changed as soon as I start a new precription. | F | 37 | 6 weeks | 11/26/2008 | 5 | Toenail infection | I honestly didn't have any lasting side effects....very mild depression at first but easy to overcome :) | All ten of my toes were effected by the fungal infection...it really sucked and it happened really fast.....so for the past ten years or so I have been so embarrassed by my feet that I would refuse to participate in anything that would require me to take off my socks....I missed out on a lot of things...fortunately I am 5 pills away from completing my 4 month prescription and my nails are looking amazing! I don't even remember what they looked like before the infection started but I'm so ecstatic to see the base of my nails looking normal....I think I will get one of those pedicures here pretty soon and have them nice and polished...looks like now all I will need is to work on my ten year old sock tan :) | F | 24 | 4 months | 11/2/2008 | 5 | TOE NAIL FUNGUS | A FEW SORE THROATS AT NIGHT | TOOK IT FOR 6 MONTHS AND IT HAS CLEARED MY TOE NAIL FUNGUS BUT HAS TAKEN OVER A YEAR FOR THE NEW NAIL TO GROW IN. | M | 37 | 6 months | 10/31/2008 | 5 | Ringworm | Absolutely no side effects. | It totally cured my ringworm! I took it for 10 days and i was a little scared because of all the other reviews on this page... but don't be worried it works great! | M | 14 | 10 days | 10/10/2008 | 5 | Toe nail fungus | No side effects at all. I'm into week 4. | F | 50 | 4 weeks | 9/10/2008 | 5 | toenail fungus | Nausea, bloating, gas, smelly poo (until I read that others were experiencing this I thought it was something I ate, but it's obviously the medication) | I started taking this drug for fungus primarily on my two big toenails 9 days ago and noticed after about 3 days that I was VERY bloated around my abdomen which is totally unlike me. I take the pill just before bed and find I am quite nauseous in the morning and that lasts until early afternoon, app0etite is pretty much gone. I have diarrhea and gas which is unusual because I eat in a very healthy way. The symptoms are not enough to make me stop taking the drug but I am going to insist with my Dr. that I have a liver function test done each month while taking it. I will let you all know how my nails are as they grow out. | F | 50 | 9 days | 8/14/2008 | 5 | Toenail fungus | Been taking it for almost two months as the fungus spread on almost all my toenails, so far i have not had any of the symptoms that could arise from taking this medication. Keep in mind everyone will react differently to this medication. | I can see lamisil is doing good progress on my toenail, on my left foot which was less affected by the fungus it is approximately two thirds clear and healthy but on the right foot as it was the most affected by the fungus it is taking longer to clear, only about one third is clear. Again, everyone will react differently to this medication and so far I've been lucky that i have not had any adverse effect with it. | M | 30 | 2 months | 7/30/2008 |
