| 5 | | 8/7/2006 | 3 | fungal toe nail infection | I submitted the Rhambdomyosis statement and I forgot to include the insomnia from all the pain. I was not able to sleep because I could not find a comfortable position my shoulder hurt so much. The pain radiated down my arm and was made worse by PT and massage therapy. I was miserable. Now I am improving since off the medication. I emailed the company and told them this SE should be included in the PDR. Please see my other listing. | Did help the fungus | 3 days | 6/28/2006 | 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 | 3 | | 6/22/2006 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Skin discoloration | Will call Dr. Hopeing skin patch will clear. Nail seems to be growing out healthy. | F | 60 days | 5/20/2007 | 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 | 2 | Nail fungus | HUSBAND IS TAKING LAMISIL NOW, GETTING DISTURBING FATIGUE AND INTESTINAL DISTRESS, AND THE FUNGUS IS NOT CLEARING UP. HE IS STUBUBORN-MINDED, HOWEVER, THERE IS A REMEDY THAT WORKS AND DOES NOT REQUIRE TAKING MEDICATIONS. (SEE COMMENTS) | AN ELDERLY RETIRED PHARMACIST SUGGESTED AN OLD REMEDY: DIP THE INFECTED TOE(S) INTO PURE (UNDILUTED) BLEACH, COUNT TO FIVE, AND LIFT IT OUT. PAT THE EXCESS BLEACH OFF AND LET THE TOE AIR-DRY. FOLLOW-UP DAILY BY TAKING A STRIP OF COTTON FROM A COTTON BALL, SATURATE IT WITH RUBBING ALCOHOL, AND TUCK IT UNDER THE NAIL, AROUND THE CORNER AND DOWN THE SIDES OF THE NAIL, PRESSING IT BETWEEN THE NAIL AND THE SKIN AS FAR AS YOU CAN. LEAVE IT THERE UNTIL YOUR NEXT SHOWER, THEN REPLACE IT. THE BLEACH DIPS MAY NEED TO BE DONE MORE THAN ONCE IF THE INFECTION IS SEVERE OR WIDE-SPREAD. ONCE IT'S UNDER CONTROL, TO PREVENT RE-OCURRENCE, YOU'LL ONLY NEED TO DAB ALCOHOL ON THE TOE (UNDER AND AROUND THE NAIL); LET DRY, THEN APPLY TOPICAL LAMISIL UNDER AND AROUND THE NAIL AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TINGLING OR 'ODD' SENSATION. FUNGUS WILL NOT GROW AND WILL NOT BOTHER YOU AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THIS TIME-PROVEN METHOD. I KNOW IT WORKS. MY HUSBAND IS READY TO GIVE IT A TRY NOW THAT THE ORAL MEDICATION IS CA | F | 10 days | 6/20/2007 | 1 | TOTAL LOSS OF SMELL AND TASTE SENSATION AND TEXTURE SENSATION AND ACID INDIGESTION. STILL PERSISTING AFTER 2 MONTHS. | DO YOU REARLY WANT TO USE THIS PRODUCT? | M | 20 days | 7/30/2003 | 1 | | 1/9/2005 | 1 | Toenail fungus | About three weeks into taking the lamisil, I noticed that I was getting a small fever blister on the left side of my mouth, but I ignored it, and thought that it would go away. It turned into a bad case of shingles all of the left side of my face, and affected my left ear, and mouth. I lost taste, and the left side of my tongue, as well as, my teeth feels funny. I still have some laceration on my tongue from where the shingle left. Also, some spots were still on my face. This has been a terrible experience, and quiet naturally, my doctor don't want to attribute this to the lamisil, but after reading what everyone else has written, I know this is where it stems from. My lip still gets numb on the left side, and I know that all of this has to do with the nervous system. If anyone experience any adverse affects like this, please let me know if you fully recovered, and how long did it take. I don't know if I should see a neurologist or not. | Just don't chance it. I know that there are people who had little or no side affects, but I think that there are more who had more adverse side effects. Also, I haven't seen the advertising on T.V. for this product lately. | M | 3 weeks | 12/19/2007 | 1 | toe nail fungus | did not take lamisil (thank god!) | I had a fungal infection on my big toe. It got so bad, that the nail actually fell off. But, after a couple of months, a new nail grew in, with no fungus! so, it may be simpler to have your nail fall off, or have it removed (same as ingrown nail), then to risk taking this highly dangerous drug | M | | 7/7/2008 | 1 | jock itch | metallic taste in my mouth and occasional obdominal pain. It made me do a website seach until I found something that would help me find out what was going on. I thought I had thrush(after reading about it) thought it was from drinking red wine, stress, I looked everywhere. When I saw all these similar statements, I felt like I found out what is wrong with me. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LAMISIL MUST READ THESE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IF I LOSE MY TASTE FOR LIFE OVER THIS, I WILL SLAP THE TASTE OUT OF THEIR MOUTH AND PUMP IN A FRESH NEW ONE FOR THEM...JOCK ITCH STYLE! | M | 30 days | 3/3/2006 | 1 | | 10/9/2006 | 1 | M | | 9/26/2004 | 3 | diarrhea, upset stomach, flatulence, rash | I'm not 100% sure that these side effects are related to the pills but I only recently started to experience these symptoms so I am setting up an appointment with my doctor to see if everything is ok with my liver. if my liver is fine then i guess i can deal with these symptoms for another month and a half | F | 18 | 1.5 months | 4/17/2005 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | not sure if this has anything to do with the meds...but I have lost my want of food and drink...I get hungry and thirsty...then i llok at food and it goes away...I have taken 22 pills... | I dont know if i can contribute the loss of appetite to this medication but I was thinking about why I wasnt hungry and i realized what it could be, then i looked it up and found this website, it very well could be, bow that i c that there are others who have had loss of appetite from this med | F | 19 | 22 days | 4/1/2008 | 1 | fingernail and toenail fungus | After taking the drug for about 2 weeks I noticed shortness of breath, hot flashes, a few chest pains, throbbing headache. Luckily for me (from what it sounds like on this forum) I still have my sense of taste and my liver seems alright. In any case, I've been taking for about three weeks and after reading about everyone's experiences I am going to discontinue this crap. It's amazing how many frequent unrelated side effects a drug for nail fungus can cause. Ban this crap before it hurts more people | It works, but I honestly don't care. I would never recommend this to anyone. This drug is meant for cosmetic purposes, buts its side affects are immense. This just shows how thorough the FDA is. | M | 20 | 3 weeks | 9/11/2007 | 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 | 5 | toenail fungus | None | F | 21 | 4 weeks | 6/30/2013 | 4 | toenail fungus | I am 21 years old and I have been taking Lamasil for 30 days now (I am on a 12-week schedule). So far, I have experienced no symptoms at all other than it has decreased the effectiveness of my birth control, resulting in bleeding between my periods. I had a blood test at the start of my treatment and go in for another one at 6 weeks. I haven't noticed much of the effects of the drugs on my toenails as the fungus was just on the very top of one toenail and the bottom was already growing in fine. | F | 21 | 30 days 250 mg 1X day | 5/31/2010 |
