| 1 | Athletic foot | Complete lack of taste with salty bitter metallic taste in mouth. All food tastes like mush or glue devoid of all flavor. This drug is poison! | F | 45 | 5 weeks 1X day | 2/21/2016 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | Have yet to have any side effects. Only rated a 3 because I haven't seen any changes yet, but it's only been 2 weeks. | Had toenail fungus since I was in high school. After 7 years, I have it on half of my toenails. My parents didn't want to put me on lamisil when I was younger because of the side effects. I was prescribed Lamisil by my doctor who EDUCATED me on the risks of Lamisil such as liver problems that is why she made me take a complete blood test to see if my liver would be able to take the trauma of this pill. I take it at 9 pm before I go to bed so I wouldn't feel any nausea if there would be any. Had one night where I couldn't swallow the pill due to the taste (HORRIBLE!) I found that it helps taking with a thicker liquid such as milk. If you're thinking about just removing your toenail, I also did it, got the nail bed scraped of all fungus, changed out all my shoes, and put on a topical anti-fungal medicine every night. still got fungus,my doctor told me that taking your nail off just traumatizes your nail bed. Luckily my nail grew back semi-ok. The problem is that fungus is systemic meaning it runs through your blood and you can take off your toenail but it'll probably grow back. There are a lot of risks with taking Lamisil but personally I'd rather not live with nail fungus for the rest of my life. My important tips would be to take it with food, DO NOT drink alcohol, and pray to the Gods haha (or buddha, allah, universe, Leonard Nimoy, etc.) In 2 more weeks I'll be going back to the lab for another blood test to see if my liver is okay to continue taking this drug. | F | 24 | 18 days 250 mg tab 1X day | 2/18/2016 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Kidney pain on both sides. Not sure if its kidney but I have sting pain on both sides almost near back side of lower torso. | I've had toenail fungus for about 15years. The left toe nail is infected, and the right toenail and two other toes are also infected. I decided to give this medication a try. I did read the side effects of the medication, one that concerned me the most was that of kidney pain or failure. Well the first day I took the medication the sides, I'm thinking kidneys started to hurt. I kept taking them and today is the fourth day. I may have to stop taking them because of fear of permanent kidney damage. By the way, I believe my self to be a healthy guy, have been vegetarian for 5 years now. | M | 30 | 4 days 250mg 1X day | 2/9/2016 | 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 | toenail fungus | after 30 days lost all sense of taste, 5 weeks later everything still tastes like bland paste. getting depressed. | F | 61 | 30 days 30 mg 1X day | 1/22/2016 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Diarrhoea, vomiting, insomnia, depression, anxiety, itching | Absolutely awful side effects for me after taking for just 6 days. Insomnia (it's 4am and I'm wide awake right now, if that tells you anything), diarrhoea and vomiting (both of which I had within the past hour), and exacerbating my pre-existing depression and anxiety, inducing a very negative generalised sense of unease and dysphoria. What's more, apparently it takes months and months to get this poison out of your system entirely, even after taking it for just a few days. If I can deter just one person out there from starting this medication, it's worth it: this drug is the stuff of nightmares and should be pulled from the market. Buyer beware, it's not worth the risk. Read all the negative reviews out there. | M | 40 | 6 days 250 | 1/21/2016 | 5 | index finger fungus | None | took pill dally had try every over counter for the last 3 years so beg a doctor for it in 60 days i had normal nails | M | 35 | 2 months one pill | 12/9/2015 | 1 | toenail fungus | Lost taste. Medal taste in mouth. Sick on stomach 24 hours. Losing weight | F | 66 | 2 months 250 mg | 10/23/2015 | 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 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | Loss of taste..no sugar, no salt, not anything! | I would never recommend this product. It is horrible not to be able to taste anything! I cannot enjoy any food at all! Everything tastes like metal... even plain water! Dont take this drug! It is not worth it! | F | 45 | 5 weeks 25 mg 1X day | 8/24/2015 | 5 | Toenail fungus | Loss of appetite for the first week or so, then no side effects whatsoever | I wish I had done this years ago. I have 3 weeks to go and all my toenails, including the big ones which were the worst-affected, are growing out clear. Hopefully I won't need another month as the no-alcohol regime is a killer! My doctor told me that the key with this drug is consistency, so I've been careful not to miss a dose. If you're able to tolerate it, it's an extremely effective treatment in my opinion. | F | 43 | 90 days 250mg 1X day | 7/3/2015 | 2 | Fungal Toe Nails | At week 4, complete loss of taste. At week 7, immune system problems which I believe led to Shingles. | This cured my toe nails, but at a high price. I am a sports fanatic (gym, run swim 5 times per week) in my 30s. This is an effective treatment, but the doctors should warn people to stop taking it at the first sign of adverse effects. | M | 34 | 16 weeks 250mg 1X day | 6/11/2015 | 1 | toe nail fungus | Bad salty taste food not good anymore | F | 53 | 1 days | 5/15/2015 | 1 | toenail fungus | loss of taste and had a very nasty taste in my mouth | F | 59 | 4 weeks 1X day | 4/17/2015 | 5 | toenail fungus | no side effects at all | I declined this medication for years because of fear of side effects. I've had none, and with a few days left my nails are growing in clear. I am thrilled. I've seriously limited my alcohol intake (decreased 99%) while I was taking it and took liver support supplements just in case. I've also sprayed all of my shoes with antifungal, thrown out some of them, and bought all new socks just in case. My Dr. said I'll need to use the topical lamisil for the rest of my life to prevent reinfection. So be it. Totally worth it! | F | 46 | 90 days 80 1X day | 4/6/2015 | 4 | Im not sure if it was lamisil but i had a strange cramp feel in my inner thigh to my knee. | Man i was on the fence about taking the drug for years since i like to drink and my liver enzymes were elevated. But i begged my Dr to prescribe them to me and promised to quit my drinking. I didnt. Im not encouraging anyone to do what ive done but i have no ill side effects. I have 5 pills to go and i cant believe the drastic improvement on my nails! I had thick crusty nasty toenails for years! They are starting to look pink again under my tow nails! I only had one good toe nail and it was very very difficult to conceal my nails all these years. Its actually taken 4 months and a week to finish my pills as i didnt take a pill when i wanted to go out and drink. I know i sound like a fool but i feel great and im almost done with the pills! I hope they continue to grow out nice the way they are. I didnt notice change for about 6 weeks. Very happy! Hope my liver test come back ok ill be getting it checked at the end of the summer | M | 38 | 3 months 250 | 3/30/2015 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | High increase in sex drive. Completely out of control | F | 44 | 1 months 250mg | 3/2/2015 | 4 | Toenail fungus | I noticed a slight metallic taste- other than that, no side effects. | I took the generic form of this medicine. Terbinafine. I am 5'5" and 107 lbs. I read that small frame individuals may have more issues. I did not. I had fungus in the fourth nail on one foot- the nail is improving. I did research on taking supplements to help breakdown the chemicals released when the fungus dies, so I also took one molybdenum daily. | F | 43 | 3 months 250 mg | 2/26/2015 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Developed severe case of skin lupus and put on topical steroids. Pain is constant with itchy welts covering my entire body. I stopped taking the drug a month ago and the rash is getting worse, not better. This is absolute poison and the FDA should ban it. Unfortunately, since 2013, drug manufacturers can no longer be sued. Any complaints have to go to the FDA. I have already spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure myself from this damage and I am being told by the doctor that I might never get better. I would like to know if anyone else who suffered from this itchy rash has ever cleared it. | F | 58 | 21 days 250 1X day | 2/21/2015 | 4 | Severe toenail fungal infection | Started taking Terbinafine on 11/4/14. No side effects until yesterday 11/17 when I started having severe nausea. I am going to muscle through unless the doctor pulls me off of it because I am ALREADY seeing results on my toenails. Liver function test scheduled on 12/2. | Also using tea tree oil on the nail bed... makes all the difference. As far as the nausea, what I am finding is that if I eat bland, easily digestible foods such as soup, applesauce, meal replacement shakes etc... it makes it easier to get through. Also ginger tea and mints. Sandals by summer! P.S. Not pregnant. | F | 32 | 12 days 250 1X day | 11/18/2014 |
