| 5 | Toe nail fungus | Nothing except weird smelling poo... | I had toe nail fungus for years on both big toes that started to speread to other toes, which freaked me out, because I am a hygiene freak. I am on day 89 of 90, and my new nail growth is a healthy pink. I think that most people who comment on these sites have had negative experiences and you don't hear the positive experiences. Everyone's body chemistry is different. | M | 45 | 90 days | 7/24/2008 | 5 | Toe nail fungus | None at the time | I took my US prescription and bought it in Switzerland at a pharmacy for $3/pill instead of $10/pill. That helped with costs. HOWEVER! In June 2008 I had a sudden Achilles Tendon rupture; doctor was asking if I had taken any antibiotics. I said, "No", because I forgot to mention the Lamisil. Now that Cipoxin, a quinolone, is implicated in tendon ruptures, I wonder if Lamisil affected my tendons. So far, no one else here has reported it. But I wonder! It's 1.5 years since use. | F | 48 | 5 months | 7/23/2008 | 5 | Toenail fungal infection | Chemical taste, dryness in the mouth, abdominal pain | On the first place-strong chemical taste that appeared in 2h after taking of Lamisil, second- dryness in the mouth. Both those side effects almost disappeared after 2 month of taking drug. Also little bit of hair loss (but it can be as a result my iron deficiency). And abdominal pain during jogging (it stopped after I finished taking Lamisil). I was aware about Lamisil side affects, but decided to try, and think in my case it worthed it. (treatment was successful). | F | 32 | 3 months | 7/18/2008 | 5 | Chronic foot fungus | Mild fatigue; decrease in taste, which wasn't so bad because it helped my diet! | Worked like a charm. The three month course was long but certainly worth it for me. | M | 41 | 90 days | 7/13/2008 | 5 | toenail fungus | none | i had someone bring me some from mexico. worked for me. email me if you have any questions. | M | 30 | 3 months | 7/9/2008 | 5 | toenail fungus | none. | This has worked well for me. All 6 infected nails are coming in clear already and I have about 2 weeks to go until i finish with my 3 month prescription. A word to the wise, don't believe all that you hear or read. The mind is more powerful than we realize and if you psyche yourself out before taking lamisil and tell yourself that you are putting a toxic poison into your body you will feel just that, it's true! I took the pill right before bed every night, that way my mind was asleep. I really don't support pharmaceuticals and don't take any other than this lamisil, I was desperate and had tried everything for the last 15 years. I don't regret my decision. My liver function tests always came back great, but I am healthy and don't drink and/or do drugs and I don't take any medications. That probably has something to do with my ease in taking this drug. | F | 33 | 72 days | 6/5/2008 | 5 | 2 toes with fungus | Little nausea; nothing I can't live with. | Only has been 7 days, initial liver bloodwork fine. Besides the nausea for the first couple of days, which I really can't blame the medication all is well. I still have my hair, and I have yet to drop dead, so all is well. I will update around the halfway point which should be in 7 weeks, along with a blood test result. | M | 38 | 7 days | 4/18/2008 | 5 | toenail fungus | None | Please do not let this web site discourage you! I do not like to take prescription drugs but the toenails on my left foot have gotten progressively worse over the years until last summer when my big toe nail got grey and fell off! It was very upsetting! My dermatoligist prescribed lamisil and now 2 1/2 months later (I have only 2 weeks to go on the medication), I see the clean nails grow1ng out. Liver functions have been fine. No side effects whatsoever! I read comments on this site a week into the treatment and almost stopped because of what some people said. I'm glad now that I stuck it out. I say, as long as your liver is fine, stick with it! | F | 48 | 70 days | 4/1/2008 | 5 | toenail fungus | A rash came up on my arm the second day using it. I had weird, intense dreams but it only happend twice. | I read the earlier comments and i guess this drug is not for some people. I HAD toenail fungus on my 2 big toes, my little toes and 2 others. I've seen pictures on various websites and my toenails were worse. After 3 months of lamisil my toes are normal again. After 10 years of swimming with socks on this drug was a miracle for me. | M | 29 | 3 months | 3/28/2008 | 5 | Yes | Diarrhea, loss of taste, lethargy and overall sick feeling. | In vane, I took this drug which was ethically prescribed. I had no idea what was going to happen and why. I ended up hospitalized after two ER visits. I gave up, at this point, one of the most precious gift God gave me and that was my health. I hope that in time I will recuperate from the ravages this drug has taken on me. I was healthy, working out, watching what I ate all prior to this. How stupid can one person be. My unsolicited advice is never start this medication. You think it will never happen to you but, it can. Believe me when I say…start this drug, and reap was you sew. | F | 44 | 6 weeks | 3/19/2008 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | None | I've had my toenail fungus since I was in my mid 20's. I always assumed that for some reason my toenail became disconnected from the skin. My big toe was disgusting, I was embarrassed and reluctant to go barefoot or wear opened toe shoes. I visited a doctor about 5 years after it started, but he said all he could do was to remove the nail and that he could give no guarantees it would grow back. I’m 51 and the problem started to spread to my other big toe. The embarrassment was too much I decided to go see a doctor and see what could be done. He took a sample of my nails and determined it was a fungus. I was prescribed Lamisil and filled the prescription through my insurance carrier and was given a generic pill. I just finished my three month treatment 4 weeks ago and I'm already seeing good results. I wish I took a picture of my toenail fungus prior to taking the drug. I would've of made a good case study for a commercial. I had no side effects at all. I'm extremely satisfied | M | 51 | 90 days | 2/24/2008 | 5 | toe and fingernail fungus | NONE!! Am taking the pulse dose of 7 days on/21 days off and in my third course. At this dosage, only one inital liver function test necessary - does not require continued monitoring. Nails are already growing in very clear. NO side effects. Would highly recommend this treatment. Will probably take 8-9 months, but so does everything else. | Okay - one funny side effect....REALLY smelly poo! I mean like a bad gross chemical rank can't-find-words-to-describe smell. But oh well, close the door and use air freshener. The results of the treatment are amazing on my nails. | F | 50 | 3 months | 1/23/2008 | 5 | toenail fungus | None, other than a bad aftertaste that goes away after eating something | I had no problems. I trusted my Podiatrist because he himself has been through a full course of this medicine. My toenails are clear and I can wait to wear sandals this summer! Excellent results. | F | 35 | 12 weeks | 1/20/2008 | 5 | TOENAIL INFECTION | Almost none, but immediately after taking the pill I would notice some difference in how my food would taste. This would only last about 10 minutes after having taken the pill and goes away - not much of a problem. Now that I've stopped taking the medicine it is gone. | This is a wonderful drug! I just finished taking my 3 month course and I see results already. I wish I had taken it sooner. I was given generic Lamisil (terbinifine) 250mg. once daily. I tried all the other stuff (vinegar, bleach, vicks, tea tree oil) nothing worked. Trust your doctor. This is the only way to cure toenail fungus because it needs to get treated through the bloodstream. As long as your doctor does a blood check in the beginning and sees that your liver is healthy, it's a perfectly healthy drug to take. I can't wait for summer so I can wear sandals again. | M | 32 | 3 months | 11/26/2007 | 5 | nail fungus | I had intense dreams and a rash on my arms for the first week. | I had real bad fungus on my two big toes and my middle toe on my left foot. I took lamisil and in 7 months my big toes are perfect again. My middle toe is taking some time but coming along nicely. If you are depressed because of the fungus on your toes, TAKE IT! | M | 29 | 3 months | 10/13/2007 | 5 | toenail fungus | see my post 29 January - liver tests normal, side effects diminished over time. I was expecting full-on symptoms and was surprised at how mild they were. | After 6 months on the drug, and now two months after stopping, MY TOENAILS ARE CLEAR! My misshapen nails are even straightening out. I went to a podiatrist rather than beautician, to have the nails seen to - I recommend that, they know how to "guide" the nail. I HAVE JUST BEEN SHOPPING FOR OPEN TOE SHOES! I could not be happier with this drug - I would believe it or not swap some life expectancy for having presentable feet - they were that bad. | F | 49 | 6 months | 9/27/2007 | 5 | nail fungus | rash, intense dreams at the beginning and tired. the rash lasted 1 day and the dreams only happend twice. REMEMBER, FILE FILE FILE DOWN TO WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE BLOOD RUSH TO YOUR NAIL BED WHEN YOU PRESS ON IT. | i had bad toenail fungus. i took lamisil in febuary 2007 and it is working great. i also filed my nails down to where you can see my pink nail bed. that was the most important part of the progress. now topical treatments such as tea tree oil and vicks can now get through and kill the fungus. my big toes were the worst and they are almost back to normal now. my middle toe is taking some time but in addition to taking the pills use topical. | M | 29 | 3 months | 7/20/2007 | 5 | toenail fungus | Experienced no side effects other than slight nausea after taking pill. | Healthy new growth began to appear after about five weeks. It's been six months since I stopped taking Lamsil and fungus has not returned. | M | 53 | 90 days | 7/5/2007 | 5 | bad toenail fungus | Virtually none | Four-month update to my post 29 January: liver tests have come back perfectly normal again. Really happy, thumbnail has grown out completely clear; big toenails are 4/5 clear. Some of my toenails are a bit misshapen but at least they aren't fungussy. I barely notice the two-hour effect as it kicks in; very slight headache, and I need to drink much more water than previously. Now I'm concerned about going OFF the drug - will the infection recur? | F | 49 | 120 days | 4/16/2007 | 5 | Toenail Fungus/Athlete's foot rash | Malaise, depression, fatigue and chronic headaches plagued me toward the middle of 3 month treatment. I am now nearing the last two weeks of treatment and considering stopping the medication. The side effects seem to worsen through the treatment. I'm also quite bloated, gassy and retaining water. It really makes me quite ill. All of these symptoms are uncharacteristic of my body before taking Lamisil. | The medication has worked as described and the fungus is off my foot and nearly grown out of my toenails. I'm very happy with the result, it's just a difficult med to physically tolerate. | F | 27 | 3 months | 4/5/2007 |
