 1  Toenail Fungus/Discoloration on Toe Sudden and Complete Loss of Taste- Thought I was going crazy, I suddenly couldn't taste anything or to describe it another way everything I put in my mouth tasted like raw bread dough, even water. AWFUL!!!! I had NO idea I would loose my sense of taste on this medication, the doctor that prescribed this medication had no idea either. The loss of taste had me so confused and distraught. Everyone kept telling me I must have picked up a head cold or something which didn't make sense, it wasn't until I went back to the doctor in complete anxiety and frustration that he looked it up on some prescription side effect application and we both realized that this could be a side effect of this AWFUL POSION!!! Been off the drug for 14 days now and can taste a tiny bit of salty things at the front of my tongue, nothing in the back and nothing sweet. Had I known this before I would have lived with my funky toenail or done laser instead. My doctor said it could take up to 400 hours to purge this poison out of my system, after reading everyone's comments I think it will be a lot longer, probably going back to the doctor to get a liver test at this point. Avoid this medication at all costs. I am PRAYING my taste comes back fully and my thoughts go out to all that are in my same predicament. M 45 62 days

 4  extreme fungus under big toenail I only ended up taking the medicine for two weeks because it started to make my gums (top and bottom) very, very sore. The script worked wonderfully, I have had some form of this fungus under my big toenail for 10-15 years. I took it for two weeks and there is no sign of the fungus any more at the base of the nail where it normally grows out from. M 32 14 days

 1  toenail fungus Salty taste in my mouth which appeared after taking the drug for about 5 weeks. I stopped the drug immediately. I have now been OFF the drug for almost 6 weeks and still have the continuous salty taste. I have also been experiencing increased insomnia and nightmares/night terrors. I would like to hear from others who have experienced this salty taste regarding the length of time before taste returned to normal. F 56 5 weeks

 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

 1  Toe Fungus Metallic taste, Vomiting Several TImes A Day, Lightheaded After going to my dioctor to have my labs checked I found out that after being on Lamisil for 10 weeks and being told that all of the side effects would go away, I suffered a 92% loss of kidney function and now I'm on dialysis three times a week. NO ONE told me, including my doctor, that you can't ake Lamisil if you have any kidney problems. My doctor's aren't sure if my kidneys will reverse or not but I am showing some improvement after being off the Lamisil for 5 weeks and on dialysis. DON'T TAKE THIS MEDICINE. IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!!

 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

 5  Fungal infection in groin No noticeable side effects I have been suffering for a year on and off with a stubborn fungal infection in my groin area including genitals. I have had weeks off work, have been in considerable discomfort, seen countless doctors and even a dermatologist who could not provide me with any lasting relief. That is until one doctor prescribed Terbinafine. I have completed 2 weeks of the course with another 2 weeks to go and the infection has cleared completely. My Doctor has put the drug on a repeat prescription for me in case the infection returns but at the moment I am very happy with the results M 48 14 days

Patient History
 2  Foot fungus THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE CREAM - LAMISIL AT After about a week, I started feeling very lightheaded and nauseated; it came in waves. This was followed by fatigue and a flu-like feeling. Caused bloating, gas, and weight gain of 400gm. I never thought the cream could cause such side-effects. Until I realised what was causing these symptoms, I was scared out of my wits. Obviously there is a big range of sensitivity to this and the tablets, but there are other anti-fungal treatments out there, and this cream wasn't even all that effective after 3 weeks. F 40 21 days

 1  Toenail Fungus Loss of taste/ severe taste disturbances As many here are suffering from taste loss due to Lamisil, I wanted to let you know that I had the same issue and stopped taking the drug after 6 weeks (was supposed to take it for 12). Despite me usually being suspicious when it comes to natural remedies, I was so desperate after 10 days of no taste/salt taste in my mouth that I tried Milk Thistle - and 3 days after starting to take it, my sense of taste has improved significantly. Might be a coincidence, but as Milk Thistle is not harmful you might want to try it. F 31 6 weeks

 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

 1  Fungal infection in one toe Extreme Itching and kidney problems. Worst though, is that it drastically reduced my white blood cell (WBC) count. My count has not returned within the WBC Reference Range of (4.8-10.8 K/uL) since taking Lamisil. Totally mad at my doctor for not telling me about the side effects. Avoid this drug at ALL cost. Your immune system isn't worth the risk. You toe will be just fine - simply file it down. M 37 14 days

 2  toenail fungus After taking the medicine for 11 days I began to experience severe itchiness and hives beginning on my back, then spreading to all other areas of my body. It comes and goes, and reappears on different areas of my body throughout the day and night, and is there more than it is gone. I also experienced swelling in my feet on day 15 that went away after being off the medicine for 2 days. I stopped taking the medicine after day 14, per the advice of my physician; however, the hives still come and go just the same even though i've been off the medicine now for 5 days. I was told it may take a while for the effects to wear off as the medicine is metabolized in the liver and has to completely clear out before the effects are gone. I have been taking benadryl and this seems to help, but very VERY little. F 30 14 days

 3  toenail fungus Metallic taste in mouth after a couple of days. I stopped taking this pill after a couple of days. But, I realized that this seems to be the best pill on the market for toenail fungus. My doctor was going to put me on something different. After comparing the two meds on the internet I realized that Lamisil is the best one to cure the problem. So I figured I would try it again, but not let the pill touch my tongue. So far it is working, try put some liquid in your mouth and then put the pill in your mouth with more liquid. Swallow it fast. This is preventing that metallic taste I had the first time around. My nail is already growing in looking good! I will report back in another month. F 45 20 days

 3  Toenail Fungus on 8 of 10 None. Although, I am itching like crazy after eating a bunch of chocolate. I just started Lamisil 10 days ago and so far have experienced none of the side effects others have complained of. I was skeptical at first because of the overwhelming number of negative reviews and side effects. When my podiatrist prescribed it, I was really nervous to start taking it. Having read all of the side effects of this, it reminds me of the side effects of candida/yeast die off. My youngest child is autistic and very often autistic children have an overgrowth of candida and undergo antifungal treatments to rid their bodies of this overgrowth. The side effects are nearly identical to that die off. They can make you pretty miserable. They can be so severe sometimes that you wouldn't recognize your own child due to the moodiness and irritability. Aside from being extremely itchy tonight after I ate too much Valentine's chocolate, I have had none of the side effects. It may be too early for me as I am only 10 days into treatment. I have actually had more energy and felt pretty good. I'm curious to see what the following weeks will bring. I saw another poster say not to let the pill touch your tongue. I think I will give that a try and see if helps with the taste issue. M 35 10 days
