| 1 | Toenail Fungus | Stomach cramps and bloating | I stopped taking this medicine after 4 days! The stomach cramps were unbearable, and I think I'd rather live with a nail fungus than suffer 90 days of this. I found this site because I was researching what side effects may be, as I was told that this medicine was WELL TOLERATED! Not according to anyone on this site! I was shocked to see how many OTHER side effects were reported by users, that I had not been told of. I think this stuff should be off the market. | F | 32 | 4 days | 4/22/2006 | 5 | Nail Fungus | No Side effects | Took the full 12 weeks of medication with no side effects. Excellent results on nails after a few months. Toes show significant signs of clearing but need time to grow out. I was always afraid of the side effects of Lamisil and spent years and a bunch of money on home remedy type stuff. None of that was very effective so I hesitantly went on Lamasil. In hindsight, I wish I had done it sooner. | M | 33 | 90 days | 7/6/2006 | 5 | Toenail fungus | Cotton mouth, suicidal thoughts, unexplained episodes of euphoria, pain while urinating, violent episodes, and a tinge of indigestion. | Works best when mixed with pain killers and vodka...but then again, doesn't everything? My wife and kids left me, my boss fired me, and my life is in shambles. On the bright side, I can wear open toed footwear now. Completely worth it! | M | 33 | 90 days | 4/25/2006 | 5 | toenail monstrosity (fungus) | I'm on day 25 and I'm happy to see that some people have had the same side effects I'm having. My lower back hurts when I sit for long periods, but not otherwise. I have small round rashes in my groin area and in my forearms. My toenail is already looking better, with a clear, fungus free area at the base of the nail. My advise to everyone is: 1)continue to take the medicine if you want your fungus to disappear 2)suck that s#!* up and deal with the MINOR side effects 3)remember why you got on the medication in the first place, if you forget, look at your toe 4)if you end up with positive results, come back to the website and write about it in order to balance out all this negativity | M | 33 | 25 days 250 mg 1X day | 4/8/2010 | 5 | Fungus on fingernails and toenails. | Slight fatigue. When I first took it I had some nausea, but I'm not sure if that was related to the lamisil. | I had suffered from fingernail fungus for ten years, which was not only unsightly but painful: my nails would catch on things and pull and bleed. Lamisil cleared it in eight weeks! My doctor didn't even advise a blood test, since it's recommended that you test after six months and I wasn't on the drug that long. Also, I don't drink at all, ever, so I was less worried about liver effects. | F | 33 | 8 weeks | 8/16/2007 | 5 | Fungus on fingernails and toenails | random nosebleeds, slight loss of appetite that returned two weeks after finishing medicine | when i drank alcohol, it seemed to affect me much faster.. so keep that in mind.. alcohol and lamisil probably shouldn't be taken together anyway even with the side effects, this medicine works and is very much worth it | M | 33 | 12 weeks | 8/18/2009 | 4 | Toe Nail Fungus | ANXIETY, INSOMNIA, TIGHTNESS IN BACK OF NECK, THIRST, FREQUENT URINIATION. | I have an 80 day dose to take. The pain in my toe from the fungal infection, which was unbearable, is now gone. The toe is normal again. Matter of fact, the bottom of my feet are now smooth again which used to be rough, cracking and peeling. Granted I hate the dizzyness, vertigo, and the pain in the back of my neck, especially the anxiety attacks, I keep remembering the pain I was in before and these side effects don't compare (yet). I'm hoping the neck tightness, headaches, and such go away once my treatment is done. But I'm pleased with the result of the fungus no longer being an issue. | M | 33 | 80 days 250 MG 1X day | 11/30/2010 | 4 | Toenail fungus | Lamisil is an antifungal, and antifungals kill candida yeast, everyone has some yeast but many people have too much which is why we get systemic disease like toenail fungus to begin with. The reason we can't all just use a cream is because it is in our bloodstream. So I am a sugar addict, drink wine nightly, live on caffeine, and love carbs. So of course I feel crappy after a few days of this medicine as it kills it all off. I have headaches, stomach discomfort, brain fog, itching, feel feverish, and lethergic. BUT I would also have all these symptoms if I did the natural diet and cut out the sugar, it is not just the Lamisil people. Take the test if you have symptoms of candidiasis and you will see, most of you probably do if you have toenail fungus. I can choose to eat sugar, try and consume alcohol and feel crappy in a month or two or I can try and wipe this whole thing out by eating healthy and feel great. | By the way, this is my fourth time having toenail fungus. The first of which was in High School for which I saw a podiatrist who gave me Sporonox for 3 months with liver tests. Same terrible die off symptoms. Then it came back again in my late teens for which the same podiatrist gave me Lamisil, same die off symptoms but perfect nails again! Later in my 20's after I lost my insurance I talked my doctor into giving me Nizoral which also fixed the toenails and for which I felt miserable on initially. Now here I am again, in my 30's taking Lamisil again for toenail fungus after being years without insurance. I will always battle with yeast which feeds off the sugar I crave and will thus always risk relapse on the fungus. If I would consistently stay on a proper diet, who knows, maybe I could avoid this repetitive dance. | F | 33 | 90 days 250 1X day | 10/1/2012 | 3 | toenail fungus | taste disturbances, and a little sickly all over | I've been taking it for over 7 weeks. I havent been sick for over two years, but suddenly I've become very susceptible to getting minor colds, flu bugs, recurring UTIs ... For the past week I have noticed that my taste is off in the morning. It lasts for about two hours and then goes back to normal. Like everyone else here, it's some sort of metal taste. Pretty unfavorable. I've decided to hang in there. I have another 5 weeks to go and if nothing else is going to add to the current discomfort then it's worth the effort in my opinion. What I read, the taste will return. I've done a liver function test and it was normal. I'm more than willing to stick it out. | F | 33 | 7 weeks | 6/22/2007 | 3 | Toe Nail Fungus | Rash: It may be Hives. Looked it up and I have the symptoms. Don't think it's Shingles. My rash is on the back of my neck, shoulders, arms, knees, top of my feet, and hands. | If anyone has a natural remedy that has worked, please share. I stopped this medicine on my 28th day. Have a Dr's appt Monday for follow up bloodwork and will advise Dr of the rash. I can see it working but, it's not worth the side effects I'm reading. And this rash is the worse, I can't take it. Called out from work 2 days in a row because it itches like a B*tch... Please post or email me a natural remedy that has worked..... | F | 33 | 28 days | 1/25/2008 | 3 | Toenail fungus | Loss of taste/appetite; itchy rash on legs | I was advised on the potential side effects but hadn't really experienced anything until this past week. I am getting over a cold and wonder if there has been an interaction with the cold medicine. Now experiencing loss of appetite and funny taste in my mouth. Yesterday, also came down with similar symptoms to heat-rash on my lower legs. Toenail appearance is improving though! | F | 33 | 55 days | 3/29/2008 | 2 | toenail fungus | crazy itching all over the body | F | 33 | 17 days 1X day | 4/4/2013 | 1 | skin fungal infection | All food, especially anything with sugar, tastes aweful! | F | 33 | 10 days 1X day | 8/4/2011 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Very blurry vision, especially with bright light. Have black spots in vision. This is after 3 weeks taking the drug. I stopped taking, then the blurryness cleared up but still slight dark spots. 3 days after stopping now and they slight black spots almost gone. Anyone else have this? | M | 33 | 21 days | 8/18/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | Complete loss of taste. | After 27 days of taking lamisil, I lost all sense of taste. This is very disturbing!!!! If I had known this was going to happen, I would not have taken it. It has been 6 days since I stopped, and still nothing. I wonder how long it will be before I am back to normal. Please e-mail me with your experience. | F | 33 | 29 days | 2/23/2005 | 1 | toe nail fungal infection | About two and a half weeks after starting the drug I broke out in HORRIBLE hives all over my body. My hands and feet swelled up (it became painful to walk as the soles of my feet hurt so much). I also had random joint pain in my knees, elbows, fingers and toes that would last a day in each location then move somewhere else. There was also a couple days of severe heartburn, chest pain and some stomach pain. It was awful. | I have been off the dug now for three days. The hives are getting better but the joint pain is still quite bad. The swelling is starting to go down but is not gone yet. This was really awful - my Doctor told me it was a food allergy and totally dismissed the idea that it could be the Lamisil and told me to keep taking it. The hives started to subside the next day after stopping the drug. This whole experience has been very frustrating. | F | 33 | 20 days | 5/25/2008 | 1 | Toe Nail Fungus | Very upset stomach, loss of taste, diarrhee | This med made my stomach very upset to the point I didn't eat. The toe nail fungus was solved by having a portion of the big toe nail removed (similar to the surgery for an ingrown toenail). I wish that option had been presented to me first. I would rather lose the whole toe nail permanetly than to take this again. I also take anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds and I gave them all "5" ratings. This I give a "1". | M | 33 | 7 days | 6/27/2008 | 5 | All toenails infected | 3rd Month so far so good | My doctor prescribed an unusual form of taking this medication. I take 1 250MG tablet a day for ten days, then nothing for 20 days and start over again for 9 months. I like this because it is easier for me to afford the 10 pills a month. But so far it is working great!! No side effects so far that I know. and my toes are clearing up and looking very healthy. I was scared to take this medication after all I read, but figured I would monitor my health very carefully while taking this. I took pictures of my toenails before and every month and man what a difference!! Good Luck! | M | 34 | 3 months | 10/5/2006 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | None. | No side effects at all. I had liver checked at end of month 1 and 2. I took it for 3 months then skipped a month and took another month on for a total of 4 months. It is now 8 months later and the fungus is completely gone! Don't expect it to be gone when you are done the pills - it takes time after you are done the pills to see effects. | M | 34 | 4 months | 6/5/2007 | 5 | toenail fungus | slight change in taste and inability to lose weight even while dieting | My thick and yellow toenails had looked horrible for years and had to constantly be painted in order to wear sandals. My sense of taste did change slightly and still has not completely returned to normal after not taking the medicine for a month. I do believe it was well worth it because my nails are almost completely normal even though it is supposed to take up to a year to completely grow in new nails. I can go get a pedicure now.....but I don't recommend it because you can get an infection there too! Many are not as lucky as I have been and have had serious side effects. It is definitely a risk but it worked for me! | F | 34 | 3 months | 6/28/2007 |
