| 5 | toe nail fungus | none | I had a pretty bad case of toenail infection on 5 toes (including big toes). I finished the treatment about 1 month ago and am continuing to see clear nails grow in. I am continuing topical treatment until big toes are fully grown in. I estimate that to be in about 2 to 3 months. BTW I used generic terbinafin from an internet Canada website. Also, the skin on the souls of my feet is now smooth and clear of fungus. | M | 46 | 90 days | 12/14/2005 | 5 | Systemic Yeast Infection | I had the typical die off reactions of the yeast being finally supressed. Yes, I had some diarrhea, and I didn't feel that great while it was killing off the yeast that was over populating my system. But once I finally got over the hump, I felt better than I had in a very long time. My allergies improved, my asthma finally improved, the lung infection cleared, the total body itching finally seized. I needed a long term course to cure it, as the short term Diflucan regimen just didn't cure it. Yes, there are probably a lot of other satisfied people out there and I thought I should let you know. Seems we only hear from the digruntled people these days and the drugs that help are quickly taken off the market for those it helps. | F | 54 | 30 days | 7/24/2005 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | After 67 days of treatment, I'm feeling pretty well. Maybe a little depression or fatigue, but it is worth it. Nails are growing in nicely. | Pink is starting to show at the base of my nail. No major problems. Product works as advertised. | M | 32 | 67 days | 5/23/2005 | 5 | toenail fungus | after living with the infection on 9 of my toes for nearly 10 years and trying nearly every topical liquid/cream and every other treatment i had heard of, i gave in and tried lamisil. i was very concerned prior to taking this medication having heard the side effect potentials. i talked with my doctor quite a bit about the possibilites, did my own research and had the upfront blood work. while taking the medication i was very strict about following all my doctors advice, particularly the alcohol. i cut it to an extreme minimum. at the half way point i had the additional blood analysis, and everything was cool. it was around this time that i noticed the first signs of new, clean growth in the nails. i have now completed the 3 months of the medication and the progress appears to be continuing nicely. | M | 30 | 3 months | 12/17/2004 | 5 | toenail fungus | none really... was maybe a little more thirsty that usualy at first, so i drank more water..nothing wrong with that though. | after living with the infection on 9 of my toes for nearly 10 years and trying nearly every topical liquid/cream and every other treatment i had heard of, i gave in and tried lamisil. i was very concerned prior to taking this medication having heard the side effect potentials. i talked with my doctor quite a bit about the possibilites, did my own research and had the upfront blood work. while taking the medication i was very strict about following all my doctors advice, particularly the alcohol. i cut it to an extreme minimum. at the half way point i had the additional blood analysis, and everything was cool. it was around this time that i noticed the first signs of new, clean growth in the nails. i have now completed the 3 months of the medication and the progress appears to be continuing nicely. | M | 30 | 3 months | 12/17/2004 | 5 | Fungal Toenail Infection | No side effects were noticed. | Excellent results achieved, almost all of the infection has gone. My toenails are now clear and normal looking. I hope the rest of the infection on the end of my big toes goes too, my GP told me that it takes longer to remove the infection from the big-toes because of the large size/area of the nails. | M | 25 | 6 months | 9/21/2004 | 5 | toenail fungus | Had no side effects. | Starting to see pink nail. | F | 55 | 6 weeks | 6/19/2004 | 4 | Toe nail fungus | Bloating, gas | After 6 weeks started to get really gassy, bloating and weight gain. I thought it was change of lifestyle but that's not the case. I will continue with the tablet as for me 10 years of ugly nails is better than couple of months of weight gain and bloating. | F | 31 | 90 days 1X day | 10/14/2022 | 4 | Toenail infection | I noticed the 3 day on it I became depressed and unmotivated. Didn't want to leave my house and felt guilty and depressed about that.. I had diarrhea the 1st and second day but that cleared up. I've read a lot about his drug and it's side affects but the only one that I can truly attest to is the depressive symptoms. It's been pretty bad but the medication is working well on my toenails. I just hope I feel normal after stopping in 7 days. I thought about stopping half way through and decided 90 days of depression is better than a lifetime of fungus toes. I tried all the topical remedies for years and nothing worked. It's easy to see why people wouldn't want to take it. | M | 37 | 83 days 250 1X day | 12/5/2021 | 4 | Fungal toe nail infection | It seems to be working without side effects | M | 44 | 2 months | 7/11/2021 | 4 | Toenail fungus | Nausea, loss of appetite, headache, fatigue. | Started taking on a Thursday. Side effects started Monday and lasted through Wednesday, then disappeared. It seems like many people stop taking this the minute side effects appear, but they're worth pushing through. I have 90 days total to take (with liver test halfway) so it remains to be seen if they clear up my nails completely, but the skin on my feet is already showing improvements. | F | 32 | 14 days 250mg 1X day | 2/1/2021 | 4 | Toenail fungus | Took this when i was 16 and taking it again i noticed depression is a big side effect. Everytime i take this medication it just has me in a bad mood and leaves me unmotivated very strange but it is effective for toenail fungus. | M | 19 | 3 months 250mg 1X day | 12/8/2020 | 4 | fungus on toenail | Extreme tiredness, foggy head , dry mouth and LOW SEX drive. | I stumbled across this site and thought it was really helpful reading the comments on how people are finding being on this drug. I have found most days now I need to take a nap as I can't seem to shake off the tiredness ( unusual for me as I am normally very active) The only really annoying side effects so far is loss of sex drive. Most of the other side effects I can cope with like the foggy head and tiredness. Has anyone else suffered loss of sex drive ? | F | 38 | 90 days 1X day | 7/8/2020 | 4 | Toenail fungus | At first it was fine. Around the second month or so I noticed I was not sleeping and had a bit of brain fog and anxiety. I am not an anxious person and it was becoming intolerable. At day 75 I started with diarrhea. I stopped the meds and still have diarrhea. I am sleeping better and feeling much less anxious. I had some success with the fungus clearing but it is not worth the side effects. I have never experienced anything like this before. | F | 64 | 75 days 250 1X day | 5/12/2020 | 4 | Toe fungus | Extremely itchy legs and weight gain | This is working for me. Slowly but surely the fungus is going away. I have about 16 more days to go. | 44 | 75 days 30mg | 10/18/2019 | 4 | Foot fungus | I have been taking Lamisil for 90 days. I'm 90 percent cleared up, I'm going g to have do another month and then my feet will be clear of fungad. Lamisil is the only drug that works. No side effects felt | M | 68 | 4 months 30 mg | 9/10/2017 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | Excessive belching, abdominal bloating. | F | 34 | 6 weeks 250mg | 5/20/2017 | 4 | Toenail fungus and skin fungus | Very little side effects. Very slight upset stomach...almost unnoticeable. | I'm on month 5.5 out of 6 and no problems. I was very worried about taking this medication but my dermatologist was not. He was right. Unless you have a history of liver problems in your family you should go ahead and take this drug. It started killing the toenail fungus at around 2-3 months, so my doctor put me on it for a total of 6 months. The worst thing about it is...you will need a blood test almost every month...and this is mucho expensive if you don't have coverage. The medicine itself is only about $75 per month, and that is if you have no insurance. Don't be afraid of it...go ahead and take it...and if you somehow are one of the minority who who has problems just stop the medication and tell your doctor, there are other medications he can give you to kill toenail fungus, but Lamisil is the most effective. By the way I also had a fungal rash on my hand (what a big issue this was for years) and the Lamisil started killing it after only a month. The toenails took longer. | M | 51 | 6 months 1 pill 1X day | 7/15/2016 | 4 | Toe nail fungus | Some nausea at first and hair shedding. | Works but is a slow process. | F | 45 | 90 days 250 1X day | 12/29/2015 | 4 | Fungus of big toe and nail | Tinnitus, dizziness occasionally, some malaise. No depression, sleep problems, or vomiting. I have slight nausea sometimes--not very bad. No other side effects at all. | I read about possible side effects before taking it, so I decided to start the medication by taking half a tablet for 4 days, taken at bedtime. The side effects can be somewhat bothersome at times, but I can already see improvement so it's worth it to me. I would NOT suggest pulling it off the market as others have suggested. Reactions are different in different people. I can only say I am mostly happy with Lamisil as I have not finished the full course of treatment. | F | 69 | 2 months 250 mg | 12/16/2015 |
