| 3 | toe nail fungus | After 10 days I felt very poorly but as I had taken this medicine before about fifteen years ago I remembered it had occurred before and was not concerned. However, at about two weeks I started to have a mild feeling of pain just to the right of my breastbone and had quite a bit of non-productive coughing. The feeling of pain in my chest spread to cover most of both of my lungs. After five weeks on the medicine the problems with my lungs have cleared up and I no longer have any chest pain. I was never short of breath. About 30 days in I started to experienced digestive upset with a lot of burping and mild nausea. I have found that drinking a lot of water helps. I plan to stay on this medicine throughout the entire 90 course of treatment unless bloodwork comes back that tells me to do otherwise. | To the people who seem to think that toe nail fungus is just cosmetic: When I took this medicine before I had let the nail fungus live in my system for a long time. Not only did I have toe nail fungus but it also caused the skin on my feet to severely split enough that lint from the socks would get caught in the cracks and hold them open. I also developed severe painful seeping rashes on my wrists and the back of my neck. This fungus can get into your blood stream and become systemic. Do not allow the fungus to go without treatment for too long! | F | 63 | 56 days 250 mg 1X day | 11/17/2014 | 1 | toe fungus | I took this medication for 4 weeks without problems. Then all of a sudden my taste buds were gone. I have been off it now for four weeks. Still can't taste anything!! Now I have to see an auto immune doctor because my recent blood work triggered. I know it's this medicine! Poison! | F | 40 | 1 months 120 mg | 10/13/2014 | 1 | toe nail fungus | First two days of taking this drug i began vomitting. Felt fine afterwards ,but after 1.5 weeks of taking the drug i began to have severe right shoulder pain. The pain radiated down into my lower arm/hands on BOTH sides of my body now. I stopped the medication September 19th so I have been off it for about 3 weeks now. My body is still messed up. I have a burning 'hot' sensation in my arms and legs now and constant muscle pain. I am hoping this goes away after the meds leave my system. My doctor has referred me to a rhematologist (apparently Terbafine can cause a form of Lupus). | I do not recommend this drug. I read before taking the medication the side effects, but since i'm a healthy 30 year old (workout 6 x /week) eat healthy, i didn't think i would be feeling the way i do. Not worth it!! | F | 30 | 3 weeks 250mg 1X day | 10/13/2014 | 2 | Toenail fungus | I've gotta stop taking this drug, I just feel grim. I'm not usually a quitter but I can't hit the gym hard at all and I have a pain in my upper gut that won't go away. I'll live with the funky toenails for the time being... | Probably works if you're up for the challenge | M | 28 | 10 days 250 1X day | 9/2/2014 | 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 | 2 | I had a toenail infection on 3 toes | Weight gain and loss of appetite- apparently signs the medicine was impairing the kidneys. | Started gaining water weight (I know it was water cause I lost my appetite and wasn't eating much) googled it was a sign of impaired kidney function, and that made sense since so many on sites were saying they had metallic tastes in their mouth (another sign of kidney function deteriorating) and other signs of impaired kidney function. I am obese, so I guess I was prone to kidney problems on these lamisil pills, and reading other people complaints, they don't realize they are messing with their kidneys. I threw away the bottle without refilling it, and am hoping I lose the 8 lbs I gained while on this in one month with no appetite, crazy that doctors DON"t know about its effects on the kidneys! | F | 52 | 30 days 1X day | 6/20/2014 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | I experienced very hot sensations throughout my body. I felt like someone had punched my belly. My liver is in top condition though. This medicine is just very toxic! What a waste of money. | Please don't keep using it if you feel any weird symptom. This antifungal is just way too toxic. Beware | M | 28 | 1 days 250 mg 1X day | 6/14/2014 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Loss of taste, nausea, body aches and flu symptoms | Do not recommend. Loss of taste still isn't back. | M | 32 | 30 days 250 MG 1X day | 5/12/2014 | 2 | Fungal nail infection (toe) | Severe nausea, can't eat and thought of food makes me feel sick. Lack of appetite. Bloated - when I eat small amounts I feel like I've had a 3 course meal. Joint pains all over body, severe aching and weakness. Nerve pains in arm & hands - shooting pains down left arm and stabbing pains in fingers. Severe fatigue with no relief after sleep. Headaches (the kind where it hurts to move your eyeballs). Wobbly teeth??? Not heard of this one but my top teeth all wobble after eating. Very dark urine. And I don't seem to be urinating as much as previously despite drinking more water. Unsure if nail infection has gone yet. Hope I don't have to be on these tablets much longer, although they are helping me lose some weight! | F | 32 | 4 weeks 1x daily | 4/27/2014 | 3 | toenail fungus | Irritability within a couple of days of starting the prescription. Everything seems to bother me more than before. Loss of sex drive. Decreased appetite?(even though I am not experiencing a loss of taste like others are reporting). Constipation. I am on round two of this drug. Two toenails on one foot seem to have responded, the other two on the opposite foot did not. I am experiencing the same symptoms as I did with the first time I used it, so I'm fairly certain it must be related to drug side effects. | F | 43 | 90 days 1X day | 4/9/2014 | 2 | toenail infection | loss of taste, stopped med, told dr he didnt seem concerned said "never heard that happen" podiatrist/surgeon- anyway, i started drinking vitamin water with zinc-lemon and red flavor shortly -about a week,slowly started regaining taste-very slowly, now one month later most of taste is back-yay- except chocolate still tastes "funny" bland like, anyway everything else tastes good, have hope. Never using it again, too scary reading about the potential life threatening liver damage, dr. said toenail is cured., we'll see, it does feel better and looks ok, will take time to grow out . yippee | F | 49 | 29 days 250mg dail 1X day | 3/23/2014 | 1 | Toenail fungus. | After about 4 weeks I was noticing that food was tasting bland. I took another week to realize it was the medication. Almost complete loss of taste now. I really hope that my sense of taste comes back. I've been off the drug for 3 weeks now and still no taste. | M | 43 | 45 days 250 1X day | 2/9/2014 | 1 | Fingernail Fungus | DO NOT TAKE this medication, holy smokes!!!!! After taking for 56 days I developed severe panic disorder, extreme depression, non-stop anxiety!!! I also started clenching my teeth almost immediately after taking the medication and I developed TMJ because if, my jaw has dislocated at least 15-20 different times because of it. I have to hold the side of my face to chew food or my jaw will dislocate or lock up! It's been 5 months now and I'm still not better. I had to go on a bi-polar medication because the depression, panic attacks and anxiety were getting worse. I also need about $7,000 worth of dental work done now because if it!!!! Please do not take this! Just soak your fingernails or toes in vinegar twice a day for 15 minutes and the fungus will go away! No need for this crazy medication! BEWARE!!!!!!! | F | 29 | 8 weeks 200 MG | 1/6/2014 | 2 | toenail fungus | missed one menstrual cycle, rash non-itchy over body. raised sugar levels, but toenail looking great! | missed a menstrual cycle which is not normal for me, then after 4 weeks developed a rash over body, not itchy, stopped taking meds and rash went within a couple of weeks. Tried the tablet again one month later, no rash, stayed on it for 5 more weeks and then started feeling palpatations, insomnia. Stopped meds and now first time ever have had two raised blood sugar levels and have to go for further testing. Although my toe is looking great, I think I have had too many side effects to be confident of this drug. Has any one else had issues with raised blood sugar levels? Hope I dont become a diabetic and that my bloods go back to normal. | F | 51 | 9 weeks 250mgm 1X day | 12/13/2013 | 2 | Nail/skin fungal infection | Doc put me on this med, even though I had thrush, and had been battling Candida yeast overgrowth for 11 years. He never believed I would have systemic infection and be walking around. Now, after 11 years it's affecting my nails, and skin. I was on 3 weeks when I lost my taste, and even noticed more white spots on my nails. Probably because I'm fighting candida and not your traditional nail fungus. I stopped the meds, right when I lost my taste, it's been a week, stuff still taste bitter & salty. TERRIBLE!! It might work for some, but I wish doctors would tell you about the risks, and not just leave it to us to read the pamphlets, and google it. Not to mention the risk to my liver as well! We're paying them to help us, not just experiment, so for god sake, take a culture and make sure it's the right medicine for the right freaking fungus! I will never take my taste buds for granted, I just hope taste even comes back! Time to find a new doctor. | F | 45 | 3 weeks 250MG | 10/29/2013 | 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 | 1 | toenail fungal infection | After taking oral Lamisil for 7 weeks developed altered taste sensation. All food and drinks (including water)tastes salty especially when swallowing . It is extremely unpleasant and after two weeks I have lost 5 kgs .My GP was unaware of this side effect. | I have just commenced taking milk thistl to try and detox my liver and break down this medication. I am also taking zinc and vitamin . Finding citrus taste just tolerable , I hope this helps as I am finding eating so difficult and I am losing energy | F | 50 | 7 weeks 250mg 1X day | 9/11/2013 | 5 | toenail fungus | None | F | 21 | 4 weeks | 6/30/2013 | 3 | TOENAIL FUNGUS | HEARTBURN, TIRED (SLEEPY) AS HELL, INCREASE BOWEL MOVEMENT UP TO 3 OR 4 TIMES A DAY, 3 DAYS AFTER I STOPED THE MEDICATION I DEVELOPED COLD SORES ON MY UPPER LIP. | I AM 48 Y/O VERY ACTIVE AND HEALTHY AND DECIDED START THIS MEDICATION TO GET RID OF THE FUNGUS ON MY TOENAILS. WENT TO SEE MY DOCTOR, HE PRESCRIBED ME LAMISIL 250 MG FOR 3 MONTHS ONCE A DAY. THE FIRST WEEK HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL, I WAS VERY HAPPY ABOUT IT, BUT AT THE END OF THE SECOND WEEK I STARTED WITH SEVERE HEARTBURN, USING THE BATHROOM #2 VERY OFTEN, STOMACH CRAMPS, POOR APPETITE, AND VERY TIRED (SLEEPY). MY DOCTOR TOLD ME TO STOP THIS MEDICATION, 3 DAYS AFTER I DEVELOPED SORES ON MY LIP..MY TOENAILS LOOK BETTER, MEANING THE NEW GROWING PART LOOKS CLEAR, NOT SURE IF THE FINAL RESULTS YET, I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE NAILS FULLY GROW. | M | 48 | 2 weeks 250 MG 1X day | 6/5/2013 | 1 | Toe nail | Loss of taste , tiredness, nausea and dark urine | F | 35 | 35 days 1X day | 5/1/2013 |
