| 5 | | 8/7/2006 | 3 | fungal toe nail infection | I submitted the Rhambdomyosis statement and I forgot to include the insomnia from all the pain. I was not able to sleep because I could not find a comfortable position my shoulder hurt so much. The pain radiated down my arm and was made worse by PT and massage therapy. I was miserable. Now I am improving since off the medication. I emailed the company and told them this SE should be included in the PDR. Please see my other listing. | Did help the fungus | 3 days | 6/28/2006 | 3 | Scalp ringworm infection | On first taking this medicine i experienced vertigo and light headedness and a severe headache that lasted 14 days, and it never stopped at night either it was constant,but once the head ache passed i experienced a grumbling gut and the runs,then my taste buds were affected and foods tasted odd not as they should,at times i could feel food in my mouth but no taste at all which seemed odd and i always smelt of them a bit like a chalky smell,i also suffered terrible joint pain and needed a walking stick to get around and i was only 30 but felt 90 the aches were that bad,my GP kept prescribing them he told me to carry on and before i know it 10 years went by,then he told me to stop he felt it was long enough to be on them,my infection cleared up well but my skin was left with another ailment which is why i was on them so long the symptoms of infection were the same,so my infection may have healed long ago,when i stopped taking them it took a month for the smell of them in my urine to fade | More care should be taken by doctors while a patient is on them,i feel they are a dangerous drug that should be prescribed with caution and patients need to be told of all the things that may happen to them while on them. | F | 10 years 250mg 1X D | 6/26/2012 | 3 | | 6/22/2006 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Skin discoloration | Will call Dr. Hopeing skin patch will clear. Nail seems to be growing out healthy. | F | 60 days | 5/20/2007 | 3 | no known side effect at the time took it over a year fungus cleared up after 10 or 11 months around year 2000 fungus comming back again in 2008 | now in 2008 I have liver cancer may be a connection | M | 15 months | 8/4/2008 | 2 | Nail fungus | HUSBAND IS TAKING LAMISIL NOW, GETTING DISTURBING FATIGUE AND INTESTINAL DISTRESS, AND THE FUNGUS IS NOT CLEARING UP. HE IS STUBUBORN-MINDED, HOWEVER, THERE IS A REMEDY THAT WORKS AND DOES NOT REQUIRE TAKING MEDICATIONS. (SEE COMMENTS) | AN ELDERLY RETIRED PHARMACIST SUGGESTED AN OLD REMEDY: DIP THE INFECTED TOE(S) INTO PURE (UNDILUTED) BLEACH, COUNT TO FIVE, AND LIFT IT OUT. PAT THE EXCESS BLEACH OFF AND LET THE TOE AIR-DRY. FOLLOW-UP DAILY BY TAKING A STRIP OF COTTON FROM A COTTON BALL, SATURATE IT WITH RUBBING ALCOHOL, AND TUCK IT UNDER THE NAIL, AROUND THE CORNER AND DOWN THE SIDES OF THE NAIL, PRESSING IT BETWEEN THE NAIL AND THE SKIN AS FAR AS YOU CAN. LEAVE IT THERE UNTIL YOUR NEXT SHOWER, THEN REPLACE IT. THE BLEACH DIPS MAY NEED TO BE DONE MORE THAN ONCE IF THE INFECTION IS SEVERE OR WIDE-SPREAD. ONCE IT'S UNDER CONTROL, TO PREVENT RE-OCURRENCE, YOU'LL ONLY NEED TO DAB ALCOHOL ON THE TOE (UNDER AND AROUND THE NAIL); LET DRY, THEN APPLY TOPICAL LAMISIL UNDER AND AROUND THE NAIL AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TINGLING OR 'ODD' SENSATION. FUNGUS WILL NOT GROW AND WILL NOT BOTHER YOU AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THIS TIME-PROVEN METHOD. I KNOW IT WORKS. MY HUSBAND IS READY TO GIVE IT A TRY NOW THAT THE ORAL MEDICATION IS CA | F | 10 days | 6/20/2007 | 1 | | 1/9/2005 | 1 | Toenail fungus | About three weeks into taking the lamisil, I noticed that I was getting a small fever blister on the left side of my mouth, but I ignored it, and thought that it would go away. It turned into a bad case of shingles all of the left side of my face, and affected my left ear, and mouth. I lost taste, and the left side of my tongue, as well as, my teeth feels funny. I still have some laceration on my tongue from where the shingle left. Also, some spots were still on my face. This has been a terrible experience, and quiet naturally, my doctor don't want to attribute this to the lamisil, but after reading what everyone else has written, I know this is where it stems from. My lip still gets numb on the left side, and I know that all of this has to do with the nervous system. If anyone experience any adverse affects like this, please let me know if you fully recovered, and how long did it take. I don't know if I should see a neurologist or not. | Just don't chance it. I know that there are people who had little or no side affects, but I think that there are more who had more adverse side effects. Also, I haven't seen the advertising on T.V. for this product lately. | M | 3 weeks | 12/19/2007 | 1 | toe nail fungus | did not take lamisil (thank god!) | I had a fungal infection on my big toe. It got so bad, that the nail actually fell off. But, after a couple of months, a new nail grew in, with no fungus! so, it may be simpler to have your nail fall off, or have it removed (same as ingrown nail), then to risk taking this highly dangerous drug | M | | 7/7/2008 | 1 | jock itch | metallic taste in my mouth and occasional obdominal pain. It made me do a website seach until I found something that would help me find out what was going on. I thought I had thrush(after reading about it) thought it was from drinking red wine, stress, I looked everywhere. When I saw all these similar statements, I felt like I found out what is wrong with me. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LAMISIL MUST READ THESE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IF I LOSE MY TASTE FOR LIFE OVER THIS, I WILL SLAP THE TASTE OUT OF THEIR MOUTH AND PUMP IN A FRESH NEW ONE FOR THEM...JOCK ITCH STYLE! | M | 30 days | 3/3/2006 | 1 | | 10/9/2006 | 1 | M | | 9/26/2004 | 1 | TOTAL LOSS OF SMELL AND TASTE SENSATION AND TEXTURE SENSATION AND ACID INDIGESTION. STILL PERSISTING AFTER 2 MONTHS. | DO YOU REARLY WANT TO USE THIS PRODUCT? | M | 20 days | 7/30/2003 | 3 | diarrhea, upset stomach, flatulence, rash | I'm not 100% sure that these side effects are related to the pills but I only recently started to experience these symptoms so I am setting up an appointment with my doctor to see if everything is ok with my liver. if my liver is fine then i guess i can deal with these symptoms for another month and a half | F | 18 | 1.5 months | 4/17/2005 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | not sure if this has anything to do with the meds...but I have lost my want of food and drink...I get hungry and thirsty...then i llok at food and it goes away...I have taken 22 pills... | I dont know if i can contribute the loss of appetite to this medication but I was thinking about why I wasnt hungry and i realized what it could be, then i looked it up and found this website, it very well could be, bow that i c that there are others who have had loss of appetite from this med | F | 19 | 22 days | 4/1/2008 | 1 | fingernail and toenail fungus | After taking the drug for about 2 weeks I noticed shortness of breath, hot flashes, a few chest pains, throbbing headache. Luckily for me (from what it sounds like on this forum) I still have my sense of taste and my liver seems alright. In any case, I've been taking for about three weeks and after reading about everyone's experiences I am going to discontinue this crap. It's amazing how many frequent unrelated side effects a drug for nail fungus can cause. Ban this crap before it hurts more people | It works, but I honestly don't care. I would never recommend this to anyone. This drug is meant for cosmetic purposes, buts its side affects are immense. This just shows how thorough the FDA is. | M | 20 | 3 weeks | 9/11/2007 | 4 | fingernail fungus. | *horrible welts/hives *taste disturbances (sort of a metallic taste?) *extreme fatigue *also, lamisil reacted with my contraceptive pill (caused nausea and vommiting) so i discontinued use of pill. *often felt dizzy/faint. *also, just generally felt like shit all the time... day in, day out. | i finished my course of kamisil about 2 months ago and although i was miserable for the 3 moths i was on it i am more than happy with the results. everything seems to be goin well, i jus hope that the fungus does not come back. seriously tho, i know how bad you feel when you are takin it, and some days you dont even want to get out of bed, but if you just just hang on for the 3 months of torture it is so very worth it. its hard, i nearly gave up many times but my nails are almost back to normal. good luck all... | F | 21 | 3 months | 3/14/2008 | 4 | toenail fungus | I am 21 years old and I have been taking Lamasil for 30 days now (I am on a 12-week schedule). So far, I have experienced no symptoms at all other than it has decreased the effectiveness of my birth control, resulting in bleeding between my periods. I had a blood test at the start of my treatment and go in for another one at 6 weeks. I haven't noticed much of the effects of the drugs on my toenails as the fungus was just on the very top of one toenail and the bottom was already growing in fine. | F | 21 | 30 days 250 mg 1X D | 5/31/2010 | 5 | Foot fungus | None...they were all in my head because the people on this message board scared me silly before I even started taking the pill. | This is a great medication that really works. The side effect rate is very, very small (3%), and don't be scared from reading this message board: I think the entirety of the 3% of side-affected patients rush right onto this website and complain. | M | 22 | 12 weeks 250mg 1X D | 2/25/2010 | 4 | ringworms | None that I've seen, finished course 1 week ago. | Ringworms are almost all cleared up. Was not given a liver function test, doctor said it was not needed for short treatments in otherwise healthy individuals. | M | 22 | 2 weeks | 2/17/2008 | 3 | Toenail fungus | No side effects | Toenails cleared up normally, however the problems came back in less than a year. Reading these side-effects has convinved me not to try using it again. I was probably just lucky. | M | 22 | 3 months | 12/30/2004 | 3 | fungus on four toes | I barely started taking these pills and so far I have only experienced abdominal pain a couple times. I also feel a little more sleepy than usual. Hopefully it doesnt get worse. | Too soon to tell but hopefully my fugus goes away because it is so ugly and embarrassing and I'm too young to have this! | F | 22 | 14 days 250 MG 1X D | 3/7/2010 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | In the beginning I had some minor chest pains but only for 2 days then disappeared. | Don't be afraid of taking this drug, it was tested for years on hundred's of thousands of individuals before coming out. "Changes in taste perception, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, stomach upset, or vomiting. As your body adjusts to the drug terbinafine, these side effects should diminish or disappear." ~ as they did for me. Take it for more than a week or two before you make a decision to quit, it's definitely worth not having disgusting looking toe nails anymore (which I had for 5 years before taking the drug). I've already taken the drug for 4 weeks and plan on taking it for the remaining 8. Also I have drank alcohol one day out of each weekend (maybe 5-6 drinks the nights that I drank), and taken a blood test every 2 weeks since I started taking the drug which checked my liver enzymes. Each test resulted in a perfectly healthy liver. Good luck you guys. | M | 23 | 4 weeks | 8/2/2007 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Tiredness, abdominal pain, intestinal pain, lower back pain, nausiated, and occasional bad taste. And anxiety. | It's scary, I got sick then had to have blood work done, liver seemed fine, never checked my kidney's. My toe looks better and doesn't hurt anymore, but my insides are so messed up and hurt really bad, I ended up in ER, they didn't find anything, had CT-Scan everything appears to be fine, but I feel horrible. I called my podiatrist and he recommended that I take one one day then skip a day, or break it in 1/2 and extend my treatment time, but I've heard way too much bad, I'm going to discontinue it, it's not worth the pain and nausia, it's effecting my work and other activities. | F | 23 | 2.5 months | 12/17/2008 | 3 | Toe, foot & fingernail fungus | I've had foot and toenail fungus for 11 years,and finger and index nail fungus for 2 years. I'll start by saying that I'm very prone to common and unusual side effects. The first day I had no symptoms. The second, I experienced slight nausia and anxiety, but I also had a VERY stressful experience with a different matter. I also had strange nightmares, bad enough for my fiance to wake in the night and shake me from it. I also experienced a bit of appetite loss. Since then I've noticed progressing gland soreness in the back of my neck and slight pains at the base of my skull, extreme thirst, slightly frequent urination, slight headache, and a bit of bad gas. I'm almost wondering if mixing with large amounts of coffee is a bad idea. These are very minor side effects, even tolerable...so far. I'd like to say that my mother is a nutritional therapist and if anyone would detest my taking Terbinafine it would be her, very loud and clear. But instead, she only demanded that I take a daily supp | Keep in mind that different people with different lifestyles will have different side effects. Don't get scared or discouraged, just keep an eye out for serious continuous side effects and keep talking to your doctor. | F | 23 | 4 days 250MG 1X D | 5/12/2010 | 3 | Toe fungus | nausea, vomiting, breakthrough bleeding. | I actually had a lot of side effects. Initially, I started taking the pill at night and I suffered from upset stomach and nausea. One night, I had a single beer and spent the rest of it puking up everything I ate the day before. I switched to taking the pill first thing in the morning and that finally stopped. I was even able to have a beer or glass of wine with dinner without that effect. Also, I am on birth control and experienced breakthrough bleeding. I never had it before (being regular for 8+ years) so it was quite a shock. I noted that I'm 'somewhat-satisfied' because it did get rid of my fungus. I guess from this forum this pill really does effect everyone differently. I would recommend checking out other options. | F | 23 | 3 months 250 1X D | 8/30/2012 | 2 | For toenail fungus | Upset stomach, diarrhea, flatulence. Onychomycosis was only cleared up fully in one toenail. 1.5-2 years later, diagnosed with Celiac Disease (stomach reaction to gluten, found a lot in wheat products). Side effects of Celiac Disease: poor digestion, diarrhea, flatulence, severe rash. | For the price of this medication, I expected the fungus would be cleared up in both toes. Since starting Lamisil, I have continued the upset stomach and diarrhea side effects and have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Can't make 100% correlation but timing and symptoms are all too similar. | M | 23 | 3 months | 4/9/2006 | 5 | toe nails on right foot | loss of taste for sweets, breads tasted weird | I can honestly say i am completely satisfied with my results. The nail matrix is growing in clear. I can see a BIG difference. This medicine is certainly not for everyone, it was worth it for me. | F | 24 | 3 months | 8/1/2007 | 3 | Toenail fungus | I haven't had any taste problems, but I felt really bad immendiately after starting the drug. I felt depressed and wanted to eat all the time. I feel better now, and I hope I don't have any more problems with that for the remainder of the course. | I think I got the fungus from poor circulation in my hands and feet. It is in my two big toes. I think my treatment is 12 weeks, or 84 days. I have been taking for 54 days, and trimming the two nails and filing about every month. They are growing out very slowly. But it does look like they are growing out pink now at the very base of the two nails. I am excited about that! The only thing is that summer is almost here, and I probably still won't be able to wear sandles through the summer becuase it takes so long to grow out. It doesn't clear the nail that is there, it just starts to grow out clear. I am giong to have blood work done again in a few days, but I want to finish the pills. I hate not being able to show my toes. | F | 24 | 54 days | 4/13/2008 | 1 | toe nail fungus | hives all over body, swelling on one side of my face; developed within hours of taking one pill | F | 24 | 1 days | 10/12/2006 | 1 | nail fungus | After 1 week of taking lamisil I started getting my left leg numb every time I lay down. After 3 weeks of taking it I'm limping because I feel a sharp pain right above my knee, I'm discontinuing this drug right now. | It seem to work though, I can see pink toe nails growing right at the bottom but I how good is a clear toenail if I can't walk? | M | 24 | 24 days | 6/14/2005 | 1 | Rash | Headache, extremely fatigued, weak neck...heavy headed, dizzy feeling | I had no idea why I was feeling so fatigued, I wake up after 9 hours sleep and find myself falling asleep at work, my eyes are sore, I have a slight throbbing in my head...its a real worry. Can anyone tell me how long these symptoms will last? I have been off the drug for 5 days and have not noticed any improvement!!! please reply | M | 24 | 33 days 250mg 1X D | 8/9/2011 | 1 | Toe Nail Fungus | Metallic taste in the mouth, Upset Stomach, Odd smelling stool, Severe Rash/Hives (appeared 30 days after taking it) | The metallic and stomach issues were tolerable. The rash however, was not. It took about one week for the rash to wear off after I was instructed to stop taking this drug. | M | 24 | 30 days 30 MG 1X D | 11/13/2010 | 5 | fungal infection on my back | Nausea | Took it about 4 years ago and it totally eliminated fungal skin infection I had almost all over my torso (it was not practical to rub a cream all over my body when I could take one tablet instead) | F | 25 | 60 days 250mg 1X D | 3/19/2011 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | No side effects | This website had me scared out of my mind to take the generic Lamisil. After 3 months, my liver is great, and no side effects to report. My toenail fungus that I've had since I was 14 is gone and the athletes foot that I've had since I was 5 is also gone. I've battled athletes foot all my life and have been embarrassed to ever wear open toed shoes. I'm beyond happy with my results and urge everyone to be aware of the POSSIBLE side effects, but there are many positive cases out there, people just want to tell about their bad experiences. | F | 25 | 3 months | 12/19/2008 | 4 | Toenail fungus (5 toenails) | On day 25 I had taste disturbance during one meal but it went away. I noticed this happened the day I ate too many sweets so I've cut down on sugar dramatically. Bad rash developed the same day, but I stopped scratching and it went away. Liver enzyme test came normal after 4 weeks on treatment. But on day 44 I started experiencing extreme fatigue and really bad back pain. I've been consuming too much caffeine so this might have trigger the pain in combination w/the drug since I had been ok before consuming too much coffee. I have lost my appetite but if you have weight issues this might be a positive thing. | I am determined to finish the treatment despite the symptoms since having toenail fungus has affected my self steem tremendously! Fungus feeds off sugar so I'm limiting my intake of sweets. As fungus dies, toxins from the decay of fungi is released into the body which cause symtoms, so drinking lots of water flushes them out. I see clear tonails growing now! Don't lose hope, just eat healthy, lots of water, and nail that fungus! | F | 25 | 45 days 250mg 1X D | 8/13/2012 | 3 | Toenail fungus | I little spacey, but could be from the aciphex I am also taking. | I've been on this for two weeks and have had hardly any side effects. I have found that thinking about the pill too much is what's causing the problem, so I take it at night, with some milk or a light snack. I did notice I do get a little spacey, but only when I first take the pill, and I just sleep that off. I can't wait to see the positive results, and don't let all the negative hype scare you. The majority of the negative side effects happen in less than 3% of people taking this medication! | F | 25 | 2 weeks | 4/13/2009 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Major headaches - to the point of not being able to function, blurry vision, loss of taste, upset stomach, depression | F | 25 | 30 days | 2/7/2006 | 5 | Toe nail fungus | loss of taste/hunger, mild back pain. | This cleared up my fungus in a month and my nails look great. I can finally go get a pedicure without being embarrassed. LAMISIL IS GREAT!!!!!! | F | 26 | 2 months | 11/7/2006 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Always tired. | I began taking these pills and after 5 days, I couldn't stay awake at all. I did some research on the net and found some natural solutions. I file my the top of my nails at least once a week until I get to the fungus. Each day I soak my feet in Hydrogen Peroxide. After that, i soak my feet once more in Apple Cider Vinegar, dry them and topically apply Oil of Oregano in the morning and once again in the afternoon. To avoid the side effects, I ground up the Lamisil pills and mixed them with a little water and applied this topically at night. Hey, I'm no doctor, but this is working for me. It seems as if the fungus is just disappearing. Not even growing out in the form of a new nail, just disappearing. I think that it's mostly the natural remedies that are curing me and it may even be a waste of the pills to grind them up, but I didn't want to throw them away. Talk to the doctor before you do this, but for me the natural way works the best, and there are zero side effects. Good | M | 26 | 30 days | 4/30/2006 | 5 | For nail and foot fungus | I have not experienced any side effects and I believe the way I have been avoiding this is by taking it at night. I'd read many reviews where people experienced hives, headaches, loss of taste and nausea. i must say after taking this for 30 days I have not experienced any of those problems. My feet have completely changed and i no longer has cracked or thick skin on my feet. I advise anyone who is taking it to take it at night rather than during the day. I have nothing but great things to say about taking this. | F | 26 | 90 days 250 mg 1X D | 4/4/2011 | 5 | toenail fungus | I have been taking the generic form of Lamisil (terbinafine hydrochloride) for 45 days so far, out of a total 90 day treatment plan. I had very mild nausea during first 3 days of treatment. After that went away, I felt great for the remainder of the time I've been on the medication. As far as my toenails go, I can see a small margin of healthy nail starting to grow in, and it looks great! | Although I have been feeling good, I do want to mention one side effect that I experienced. I am taking birth control pills along with the Lamisil, and I experienced a lot of breakthrough bleeding during my first month of taking Lamisil. I've never experienced this before. Because the main components of birth control pills are broken down by cytochrome P450 in the liver, AND Lamisil inhibits cytochrome P450, it makes sense that taking Lamisil would affect the metabolism of hormones in birth control pills. This would also explain the breakthrough bleeding that I experienced. I would suggest that other women taking both BCP and Lamisil concurrently use an alternate form of contraceptives while on Lamisil. | F | 26 | 45 days 250 mg 1X D | 3/22/2010 | 5 | Toenail fungus | My sense of smell was slightly altered...it seemed like I could always smell something like metal...but really it wasn't that serious, just odd! | Worked really well for me! Toenail fungus IMMEDIATELY stopped spreading after a week on Lamisil. After 12 weeks, fungus was halfway grown out. 6 months later, the fungus had completely gone, thank goodness. Obviously it is your choice to take the medication or not, but please don't be scared by all the awful information about the possible side effects. My doctor says that the possible risks are WAY overblown and as long as you are healthy you should be just fine. | F | 26 | 3 months | 12/12/2008 | 1 | Toe Nail | Almost complete loss of taste after about 7 weeks on Lamisil. | After 3 weeks of no taste, I tried taking Acidophilus and a holistic liver cleansing solution. If anyone still does not have their taste, try this! In just 2 days of these things I am sporadically tasting things. It goes away shortly, but its better than nothing, and after 3 weeks instead of months and months! | M | 26 | 7 weeks | 9/22/2007 | 5 | toe nail fungus | At the beginning, I had some stomach pains and headaches (1st week only) and then I thought I would talk to my doctor about these side effects... he told me to keep going, so I did. I asked him to give me a blood test to check my liver after a month of taking lamisil and the results came fine. I even drink occassionally. My doc told me there is no real proof that you cant mix alcohol and lamisil... so if your young and healthy I dont see the problem of drinking (and i mean like alot of drinks). If your're scared, just keep taking the test for your liver. I also had green stools but it wasn't frequent. If you do get green stools often, then it may indicate that food has passed through your intestines faster than normal, before it could be changed from green to brown so you should consult your doctor. | I've had toe nail fungus for the longest time cause I've been playing soccer since I'm a kid... and I've spend alot of money on other products and lamisil seems to have worked for me. My toe nails are growing nice again...It's quite a relief to finally be able to walk with sandals without being embarassed about your feet. I guess everybody reacts differently to the medication, hence why all the various comments on this board...which is quite normal being that everybody reacts differently to the medication. Hope it works for you... if not you will need alot of patience and dedication with other products because they are not as effective that is for sure. | M | 27 | 120 days 250mg 1X D | 8/23/2011 | 5 | Fungus on my right big toe | The only side effect for me was the price. Ouch! | I wanted to write a review after a successful use of this product because I believe that the majority of people who write on these boards are unsatisfied users and the satisfied users typically do not come back to share their results. Now, this is a very serious drug and should be taken with precaution and discretion. But not all experiences are “horror” stories, so here is mine, I had fungus on my right big toe ever since I can remember. Like most, I was embarrassed to show off my toe and was envious of everyone that could. I wanted to get rid of this unwelcome guest and was convinced that topical treatment could not effectively do the job. I decided to use Lamisil and I have to admit, it worked! – And no, I am not in any way a rep for this product. It took 6 weeks to visibly see my new toe coming in, and about 5 months to have a normal, pink toe. It’s now been 9 months since I used this treatment and the fungus has not returned, although, I now use Tinactin | M | 27 | 90 days | 10/18/2008 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | No major side effects at all, but be VERY careful about drinking alcohol when you are taking this medication. On a few occasions, I felt as if I had been poisoned after only having a few drinks. It also greatly reduces your tolerance for alcohol. Obviously, the instructions warn against drinking alcohol, but this is definitely some advice you should follow while taking this medication! | It's been nearly 7 months since I completed the course and the 2 toenails that had been infected are still cloudy and not quite pink and healthy just yet, although the fungus does appear to be gone. I would have rated this medication a 5 if it didn't take so long to work (and I'm still hoping that it does work completely)! | F | 27 | 12 weeks | 6/21/2005 | 3 | Toenail Fungus, both feet | Headaches, Kidney Inflammation, metallic taste, pale stool | I noticed the headaches and pale stool within a week or two of starting generic lamisil. However the headaches were easily manageable with painkillers, and the pale stool simply had my doctor order blood tests. After a month or so I noticed the metallic taste and some abdominal pain that would subside a few hours after taking a pill. In the final two weeks of a three month course of treatment, the abdominal pain got worse and I was forced to stop taking any doses. I am awaiting the results of new blood tests on my kidney function. In the third month I could see the start of clearer nails growing in. I am hopeful that the nail will continue to grow this way now that I have stopped taking lamisil. | M | 27 | 75 days | 6/2/2008 | 2 | NAil Fungus | Rash | M | 27 | 2 days | 9/22/2004 | 1 | toenail fungus | Weight gain, abnormal liver enzymes, abdominal pain, slowed down thyroid which caused additional problems. 6 months later.....I'm still trying to undue the damage! | F | 27 | 3 weeks | 12/7/2002 | 5 | To improve my toenails | The only side affect that I had at first was within the first week of starting Lamisil. I broke out in a little rash on my legs and arms but went away. Another side affect was at times I felt a bit of nausa. | I had a wonderful experience with this medicine. I just finished my last dosage today and my nails look beautiful. All my blood work came back good for my liver. I still have time to see improvments but now I walk around with sandels and I am not scared to show off my toes!! | F | 28 | 114 days | 7/15/2008 | 5 | toe nail fungus | None at all! DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL DURING OR AFTER THE USE OF LAMISIL. It WILL have an affect on your liver test results. | It definitely worked for me. My toe nails look great! | M | 28 | 3 months | 7/30/2008 | 5 | Toenail fungus | I did not experience any side effects. My nail fungus pretty much completely cleared up, however I had lost almost the whole nail and noticed after it was half grown back in that when I stoppped taking the medicine it was starting to form at the top of the nail again. I just got another 90 days. The doctor said once it has all grown out and I have cut the remaining affected nail off it should not spread anymore. I am pleased | My co-worker also had a nail fungus and she said at the 2 month mark everything was extremely salty. She was not as happy with it as I was. | F | 28 | 90 days 250 MG 1X D | 2/7/2011 | 4 | Toe nail fungus | I took the generic Lamasil for 90 days and experienced no side effects... didn't even know there where all these negative effects. I also drank in moderation over the 90 day period with no trouble. Nails are starting to look better, but I hear it takes six months to completely clear the nails. I am glad I took a change to get rid of the fungus for good. | F | 28 | 90 days | 10/10/2009 | 4 | toenail fungus | itchy and some rash after 3 week, but I think because I drunk alcohol. Also lost of period | Works well without alcohol. I am going to stop to take the medicine because the itchy in my whole body but I am going to try again in a month. I mess my treatment drinking alcohol | F | 28 | 26 days | 10/24/2007 | 3 | Foot Fungus | Stomach Pain and Weight Gain | I have not been on Lasisil long enough to know whether or not it is working on the fungus; I have, however, experienced severe stomach pain. The only way to subside the pain is to fill my stomach with food, hence the weight gain. I'm not sure what I think of Lamisil yet. We'll see if I can take it for the entire 90 days. | M | 28 | 20 days | 11/9/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus, skin fungus | I experienced loss of taste. | I would not recommend this medication to anyone! After doing much research I found the side effects much too risky to clear a cosmetic problem. I lost my taste during Thanksgiving and Christmas and was really angry. I contacted my physician and two seperate pharmacies and no one was able to tell me about this side effect which made me even more angry. | F | 28 | 27 days | 12/30/2005 | 5 | Toenail fungus | For the first few days, food and drinks tasted kind of funny, but that went away. | I loved lamisil! I had a severe toenail fungus on all 10 toes for several years, and didn't know what it was. My doc gave me a script for this, and within a month, I could tell the difference. I took it for 3 months and the fungus is completely gone. I have recommended it to others for nail fungus. | F | 29 | 3 months | 10/27/2004 | 4 | toenail fungus | no side effects. | I've been taking lamisil for 6 weeks now and can tell the new toenail growth looks good. I will continue on the medication for another 6 weeks. So far, so good. | F | 29 | 6 weeks | 2/22/2003 |
