| 5 | toenail fungus | The only side effect that I may have is some weight gain. But that could just be a normal thing for me since my weight fluctuates. I've read that some people have had depression from taking this medication. I must say that I am taking Celexa which is for anxiety and depression. I was taking this medication before the Lamisil, so maybe that is why I haven't had any depression or anxiety. | I have been taking Lamisil for about 4 months now. My big toenail on my right foot was always bloody and peeling, very painful. I have had this fungus for about 10-11 years. I also had the fungus on my two little toes. Since taking the Lamisil, my toenails have grown back and are now almost back to normal. I am hoping that the fungus does not return. Oh, I am going to get my first pedicure since having this fungus. I am so excited! The Lamisil has definately worked for me. However I do believe that everyones bodies are different, and different drugs effect us all differently. For those who can't take the Lamisil, hopefully there will be something on the market to take to get rid of this painful fungus. Good luck all and God bless! | F | 42 | 4 months | 3/23/2007 | 5 | Tonail fungus | No side effects at all | For several years have had one big toe with very bad fungus and others toes with varying degrees of the fungus. I can see on my worst toe a small bit of clear nail growing. I have been on Lamisil for 20 days now and pray that it continues to clear. | M | 57 | 20 days | 2/24/2007 | 5 | Toenail fungus | Only 2 days taking the pill , and I havent feel any side effects. | I was very worry about taking medicine by mouth. I was grown in a house where we were vegetarians and we basically used doctors and pills for extreme necesary situations. Im telling you I ve tried everything in the natural way or external way. It has not worked. I even tried Homepatia, and it didnt work. I hope this will work and i wont have any side effects. Im very healthy , and I feel weird taking pills. Something that really helps are the blood tests , my doctor is doing several of them as I go in the treatment. Ill keep you post about my situation. The Vegetarian girl | F | 21 | 2 days | 2/14/2007 | 5 | NAIL FUNGUS & ATHLETES FOOT | NO SIDE EFFECTS | ** ADDING TO MY PREVIOUS COMMENT ** FUNGUS ON ALL MY TOENAILS AND I HAD IT FOR 10 YEARS IT ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE | M | 24 | 13 weeks | 2/7/2007 | 5 | NAIL FUNGUS & ATHLETES FOOT | NO SIDE EFFECTS WHATSOEVER | I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS MEDICINE. EXPENSIVE, BUT IT'S WORTH EVERY CENT. I'M DOWN TO 20 PILLS ON MY FOURTH MONTH. AND I SEE VERY PLEASING RESULTS. ABOUT 3 FOURTHS OF MY NAILS LOOK HEALTHY NOW, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SUMMER TO GO TO THE BEACH AND WEAR SANDALS WITHOUT FEELING EMBARRASED. I USED TO GO TO THE BEACH AND I WOULD HIDE MY TOES IN THE SAND OR EVEN WHEN I WAS AROUND THE HOUSE I COULDN'T WEAR SANDALS IF WE HAD VISITORS. EVEN WHEN SHOWERING I WOULD USE A SPECIFIC SCRUB AND A SOAP SPECIALLY FOR MY FEET AND A DIFFERENT ONE FOR MY BODY BUT NOW I USE 1 SCRUB AND 1 SOAP FOR MY ENTIRE BOY. I CAN GO ON FOR HOURS TELLING YOU HOW HAPPY I AM AND HOW MANY BENEFITS I HAVE NOW THAT MY FEET ARE HEALTHY. DON'T DOUBT IT. EVEN IF A I HAD RAN INTO SOME SIDE EFFECTS I WOULD DEFINETELY TAKE ANYHOW. IT'S WORTH IT. | M | 24 | 13 weeks | 2/7/2007 | 5 | Toe Fungus | numbness from the waist down, vivid, horrible dreams of death, nausea, spotting | non signs of it working so far | F | 27 | 4 weeks | 2/6/2007 | 5 | FUNGAL TOENAIL | Into my 4th day so no side effects yet, however from reading everyone elses comments I note that its not a good idea to drink alcohol, I asked my doctor about drinking and he advised it was ok to drink in moderation. Had 3 glasses of wine last night but wish I hadn't now sounds like a good idea to completely stop all alcoholic consumption whilst on this medication?? Have got fungal infection in all 10 toenails looks realy bad in big toes the rest its hardly noticeable its also in 3 finger nails - doc says its a low lying fungal infection. | F | 50 | 4 days | 2/4/2007 | 5 | toenail fungus 10 toes and thumbnai | slightly more frequent headaches if I don't drink a lot of water; slight fatigue for about an hour two hours after my dose. Seems to make my reaction to coffee a bit more intense. | I put off taking Lamasil for years because I was so scared of its reputation. Liver test has come up completely normal twice now. My thumbnail is slowly growing out clear, but I can't see any difference in my toenails yet. I'm going to try to stay on the medication for nine months. I don't think the 'pulse' dose would work for me - my toenails are BAD. Tried the vinegar treatment for 18 months absolutely no effect. One of the difficulties re Lamasil is a real fear of recurrence, and trying to strategise as to how I'll avoid getting the fungus back. i don't think my body would tolerate a second course of Lamasil. It's a powerful drug. I'm in very good health, Word of warning though: don't touch a single drop of alcohol. I drank a mere third of a glass of wine at Christmas lunch with colleagues - and really felt it. I maintain a scrupulous health diet on this medication - don't want to tax my liver a fraction more than I absolutely have to. I'm also on HRT - and the drugs seem to be com | F | 49 | 2 months | 1/29/2007 | 5 | Toe nails | No side effects | Important comment. Consult your doctor about taking Lamisil for one week only, then off it for 3 months, then back on it for one week only, continuing this safe procedure until the fungus is cleared up. This very effectively cured my wife's toe nail fungus with no side effects. | M | 71 | | 12/11/2006 | 5 | mild/moderate case toenail fungus | I had absolutely no side effects whatsoever from oral Lamisil until the 9th week of the 12-week treatment. I was impressed with such clear sailing up until then! I am relieved to see that others have experienced chronic lower back pain particularly toward the side of the waist; upper back pain, chest heaviness/discomfort/pain; heartburn and an upset, gnawing stomach. | I am truly dragging myself to the finish line of the 12-week treatment program with about 10 tablets left to take. I see a marked difference in my nails though and I believe they will be completely normal again in the months ahead. I'm looking forward to it and think a month of discomfort was worth it to cure/treat this disease. | F | 52 | 11 weeks | 10/29/2006 | 5 | Toe nail fungus on all 10 | Tired at first, and a funny taste in my mouth for the first month, second month I began to feel better. Third month, if there are any side effects, I can't tell. :) | I am into the third month of Lamisil and I am just now beginning to see some changes in my toes. I was afraid that it wasn't going to work for me, but now I am so pleased and I can't wait until the treatment is done. I had severe fungus on one toe, and mild signs of fungus on my other toes. The toenails were very thin and frail, but now they feel stronger. The worst toenail was thick and dark, and now I notice the monster nail has grown out considerably and is being replaced by a much clearer nail. I can look at my toes and happily anticipate the summer, and wearing flip flops...instead of the dread that i usually feel! After reading this forum, I know that even after finishing my last month, I can still expect them to continue to improve! Yes! | F | 41 | 3 months | 10/28/2006 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | None whatsoever | Worked like a charm. After 90 days, new clear nails were visible. A few months and all the old crusty nails should be gone and replaced by nice nails. :) | M | 39 | 90 days | 10/19/2006 | 5 | Toe Nail Fungus | My 9 year old daughter had fungus under her big toe for 5 years. Fungus started on ball and sole of her foot at swim class probably from shower at the YMCA. Doctors treated skin fungus but not before it got under her toe nail. We decided to live with it until Lamisil developed a track record and she was old enough to handle Lamisil. At age 9 we started 1/2 dosage for 90 days with a blood test at 30 day mark. Result were remarkable with no side effects. Toenail looks beautiful Hopefully it is now all behind us! No Complaints about Lamisil at this point. | F | 9 | 90 days | 9/27/2006 | 5 | Constipation - most people say diarrhea, but I had the opposite. Bad taste in my mouth overnight. But who cares, I LOVE my beautiful, fungus free toenails (after 3 months on Lamisil!) | I can recommend Lamisil but you may experience side effects. If they are not too severe, it is definitely worth it! I was so embarassed of my hideous toenails! | F | 50 | 3 months | 8/10/2006 | 5 | Toe Fungus | None | Was worried do to some of the comments on this site. No problems at all!!!! Just nice toes and feet!!! | M | 33 | 90 days | 5/13/2006 | 5 | toenail fungus | Occasional mild upset stomach/gas pain; occasional headache; lethargy; upper back pain? | Had toenail fungus on 1 toe - little toe of left foot - for over 15 years. It wasn't simply a cosmetic problem for me. The toe was always red, itchy and swollen, and got recurrent athletes foot infections. The whole toe would itch including deep below the nail. This was a daily annoyance. Topical treatments (over-the-counter and prescriptions) would help with the itching somewhat as long as I used them, but never cured the problem. Also tried "vinegar" treatment for several months with no imrovement besides lessening the itch during that time. During the whole 4 months on Lamisil, physically I did not feel like my usual self. Thankfully no chronic taste disturbance, although the pill did begin to taste worse and worse going down. After completing the 4 months (continuous dosage), the itching & redness were gone, but the nail was still growing out just as thick. Podiatrist said to wait and see if heals. Over the next 4 1/2 months, the nail grew out completely healt | M | 27 | 4 months | 4/30/2006 | 5 | | 3/15/2006 | 5 | Toenail fungus | No side effects whatsoever. | I had a terrible case of toenail fungus on all ten toes for over 30 years. 7 months on Lamisil completedly solved the problem. That was about 7 years ago and my toes have remained perfectly clean. My wife had a minor case of stuborn fungus on one toenail. Our doctor had her take Lamisil for one week and then not again for 3 months. This system of one week on Lamisil and three months off it reduce the risks and the side effects. After six months her toenail was completely cleared up. I recommend Lamisil without reservation. If you have doubts ask your doctor about this system of reduced exposure. Another suggestion, when reading ratings it is important to see how long the person has been on the drug. You can't judge the effectiveness of this drug in a matter of days or even a small number of weeks. | M | 70 | 7 months | 3/2/2006 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | none at all | I took the 90 dose of Lamasil and was worried the whole time because of some of the complaints on this web page. I had the infection since the 60's and have hated every moment of it.I wanted to be able to wear sandles in the summer like most everyone else. I can do that now plus I don't have to worry about the fungus infection causing a bacterial infection. I am a diabetic and don't need anything like that to happen. I am very satisfied with the results of this medication and had no complications of any kind from the medication. My only regret is that I waited so long because of all the bad things people said about it.I took a chance and am very happy about the results. | M | 62 | 90 days | 2/20/2006 | 5 | fingernail fungus | lost of taste, some fatigue, mild depression | First took lamisil as I smashed my thumbnail while lifting a treadmill about my buddy's stairs. Just ignored it until, all my nails on my left hand turned yellow, went to the doctor was prescribed lamisil and generally 90% of it cleared up. I have a stubborn thumbnail, but now I'm on lamisil for the 2nd time and thumbnail is around 40% clear after taking it for 8 weeks, will continue treatment for 12 weeks. Only bad side effect is you can't really drink alcohol on the drug even socially. If you do it will most likely hurt your liver and counteract the effects of drug which then you'd have to start treatment all over again. | M | 25 | 54 days | 1/28/2006 |
