| 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 day | 6/26/2012 | 1 | Fungal toe nails | Severe taste disturbances, weight loss, fatigue, headaches, constipation, depression, back pain | side effects emerged after 5 weeks of taking tablets. Stopped medication immediately. I had a metallic, bi-carbonate soda taste on tongue. All food tasted repulsive, even water. My social life was effected and I felt very depressed. I managed to drink smoothies made with milk, honey, banana, vanilla essence, & ice. I could tolerate porridge for breakfast. A naturopath gave me some herbal drops and my taste started to return 6.5 weeks after stopping tablets. This has been the most miserable time of my life and ruined an overseas holiday. Lamisil should not be on the market. It is a poison. BEWARE!!!! | F | 54 | 5 years | 6/3/2008 | 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 | 5 | finger nail fungus | None | Worked great. I've had fungus in my thumb nail for 30 plus years and now it looks normal. | M | 42 | 8 months 250 MG 1X day | 1/19/2012 | 5 | toenail fungus | I had no side effects with this drug. | I was using this drug to treat toenail fungus on two nails. Mine wasn't severe at all. My doctor prescribed 7 pills a month for 12 months. I have been on it for 6 months now and have noticed a change. It may take alot longer but it is better than having side effects that everyone else seems to have. | F | 30 | 6 months | 9/29/2008 | 5 | Toenail fungus on 4 toe nails | None | I have been taking Lamisil tablets for 6 months and continue to take it. I was told to take it until all the old toenails with fungus grew out. Will probably stop in a couple of weeks. My toenails are looking great after 15 years with bad toenails. Yay!!! :) | M | 35 | 6 months | 9/18/2015 | 5 | toenail fungus | slight headache at beginning, couldn't drink alcohol, needed to drink more water than usual | it's three months or so since I stopped the Lamisil after a course of six months and nine of my toenails are normal - one, the worst, is not bad. I CAN WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES IN PUBLIC FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TEN YEARS! My liver tests were normal at all times. I want to remind people, though, don't touch alcohol while on this drug - I drank a single half glass of wine while on the drug and it was entirely the wrong thing to do. Also, remember that caffeine reduces the effects. I took my Lamisil and a single cup of coffee a day - at opposite ends of the day. | F | 49 | 6 months | 9/24/2007 | 2 | toenail fungus | no noticeable side effects, maybe a very slight wheeze in the middle of my lungs when lying down sometimes, maybe slightly darkened urine at times. I tried to drink more water and avoided alcohol generally while taking the medication. | (I only marked "not satisfied" because a rating was required and my toenail did not respond to the treatment.) I took the generic version Terbinafine HCL 250 mg tablet, one tablet daily for one week each month (pulse method) for six months. Unfortunately there was almost no change, the fungus area is not gone. I asked doctor if I should try taking it all month rather than one week per month. He said no because if it was fungus it would have responded by now and the all month regime has a higher risk of liver damage etc. Doctor will not prescribe again, he believes it must be psoriasis of the nail since it did not respond to the Lamisil. However, I don't have any other psoriasis issues thankfully, it is only one toenail, and I am still not convinced it isn't fungus, because it seems to resemble fungal infection of the toenail in every way. I think I will probably go to a podiatrist and have that area of the toenail removed and try topical medications on the nail bed. See if I get any improvement. Good luck to everyone here. | F | 50 | 6 months 7X M | 1/27/2016 | 1 | Nail Fungus | I didn't notice any side effects. | I've tried 3 courses of Lamisil over a period of 3 years. One for 2 months and another for 3 months. I've just stopped the third course (of 6 months) after 3 months as it is having zero effect on my nail situation. | M | 39 | 6 months | 10/5/2007 | 5 | toe fungus | No side effects. | Toe fungus is gone and nail looks normal. I took this medication on a "pulsing schedule": On lamisil for 1 week, off for 3 weeks --over the course of 5 months. (1 pill a.m., 1 pill p.m.). I experienced no side effects. | F | 40 | 5 months | 3/19/2007 | 4 | nasty toe nails | Been on it for about 5 months. First few weeks slight chest pains went away by the end of the 1st month, still experience joint pain. Can't stop sleeping,I feel very lazy all day. Get lots of headaches, unexplained brusing, most recent one is on my arm, bad heartburn during the night it will wake me right up from a good sleep. Just started to get a bad metalic taste in my mouth. Just afew canker sores through-out the 5mths didn't realize that Lamisil could be the result of that. No weight loss I wish, could use afew less pounds okay maybe more than afew (LOL). Over all I'm surprisngly pleased with the results my toe nails they are almost cleared up. I was ashamed of them before they looked like "corn-nuts" if you don't know what that is google the image. It started off as one bad nail then spread overtime to all of them, they were so hard to cut because they were extermly thick instead of growing in lenght they grew in height. Holy cow they were ugly. Therefore even wit | It's not for everyone. It took me afew yrs to decide wheather to take or not! | F | 30 | 5 months | 2/20/2008 | 3 | toenail fungus- both big toes | none! | Every time it seemed it may be working, I would then regress. Like I would take 2 steps foward then 1 back. It has almost been 1 year since I first started this medicine. My 1 toe looks almost perfect except for 1 spot at the tip that is slightly crumbling. The other toe doesn't look as good, on 1 corner of the nail there is a yellow spot at the tip going about a quarter down into the nail. It seems like I can never completely get rid of this. I have also recently started applying Vicks and vinegar, so maybe this 3 step approach will finally kill the evil fungus monster!! | F | 29 | 5 months | 3/22/2007 | 3 | Toe fungus | No side effects. | Through a micommunication with my doctor, I've been taking Lamisil for 5 months straight (2 months longer than apparently I was supposed to). My toe fungus is progressivly clearing up, but I am concerned about how long I've been taking it and potential long-term effects. | M | 36 | 5 months | 4/24/2007 | 5 | toenail infection | none | Brilliant - have recommended it to other people. Took it for 4 months and toe nails are now completely back to normal! | M | 52 | 4 months | 1/9/2006 | 5 | Fingers, toes | Anxiety/depression; gastro-intestinal distress; light-headedness; need to sleep | The doctor prescribed one pill per day. That dosage wrecked me. I went off the medicine after a week and felt better after another 2 days. Went on again for two days, off for two days, like that. The doctor said no problem, because it's a slow-release medicine and works over time. So I thought, why not try half a pill every day. That was better, regarding side effects. Then I decided, half a pill every three days. The nails grew out clear and I don't get the side-effects. | M | 57 | 4 months | 10/7/2006 | 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 | toe nail fungus | taste off a bit, gas, bowel movements, light headaches | 2nd time on laminal. this time i did a "PULSE" method; i took 500mg for 7 days then 3 weeks off then on again. i did this for 4 months. research a bit about the 'pulse' method. very good efficacy rates. just a bit behind the 3 months daily at 250mg a day, but a lot less problems/side effects. i think i read where laminal is at 90% effective on the 3 month deal and 80% doing the 'pulse' dosing. i had a mild case and decided to do pulsing. my nails and skin are looking good. i am at the end of the 4th pulse/month. ask your doc about this. it is not completely new, but more docs are starting to use this. i am satisfied to get rid of the fungus once again. | M | 51 | 4 months 500mg 1X day | 10/8/2013 | 3 | toenail fungus | I, too, had itching on my back, and a metalic taste which became constant. My tongue appeared rubbed raw at the back, and looked prickly. Online research found so many cases of tongue/taste problems from this medicine! For me, it took awhile to put together that the Lamisil was causing the problem, because I had recently had middle ear surgery and I thought all the taste issues were stemming from that. | I stopped taking the Lamisil! I am washing my tongue with soap once a day, rinsing with water. It has helped relieve the discomfort. Will see my doctor tomorrow. From what I read, it could be 4 more months before normal taste returns. My nails are clear now, but the medicine is clearly poison. Note: per an article found, once the new nail is coming in clean, it is not necessary to continue the medicine! | F | 62 | 4 months 250 MG 1X day | 7/19/2011 | 1 | Nail fungus | Over 15 bald patches all over my body 6 months after treatment no improvement. | M | 23 | 4 months | 8/18/2016 | 5 | Nail fungus | Everything was fine... Just dont think about the pill while taking it.. Drink lots and lots of water and eat food with it... I placed the pill on the back of my tongue when i took it jic. It takes time but it worked for me :) | M | 21 | 3 months | 9/1/2014 |
