| 4 | fingernail fungus. | *horrible welts/hives *taste disturbances (sort of a metallic taste?) *extreme fatigue *also, lamisil reacted with my contraceptive pill (caused nausea and vommiting) so i discontinued use of pill. *often felt dizzy/faint. *also, just generally felt like shit all the time... day in, day out. | i finished my course of kamisil about 2 months ago and although i was miserable for the 3 moths i was on it i am more than happy with the results. everything seems to be goin well, i jus hope that the fungus does not come back. seriously tho, i know how bad you feel when you are takin it, and some days you dont even want to get out of bed, but if you just just hang on for the 3 months of torture it is so very worth it. its hard, i nearly gave up many times but my nails are almost back to normal. good luck all... | F | 21 | 3 months | 3/14/2008 | 5 | Foot fungus | None...they were all in my head because the people on this message board scared me silly before I even started taking the pill. | This is a great medication that really works. The side effect rate is very, very small (3%), and don't be scared from reading this message board: I think the entirety of the 3% of side-affected patients rush right onto this website and complain. | M | 22 | 12 weeks 250mg 1X day | 2/25/2010 | 4 | ringworms | None that I've seen, finished course 1 week ago. | Ringworms are almost all cleared up. Was not given a liver function test, doctor said it was not needed for short treatments in otherwise healthy individuals. | M | 22 | 2 weeks | 2/17/2008 | 3 | Toenail fungus | No side effects | Toenails cleared up normally, however the problems came back in less than a year. Reading these side-effects has convinved me not to try using it again. I was probably just lucky. | M | 22 | 3 months | 12/30/2004 | 3 | fungus on four toes | I barely started taking these pills and so far I have only experienced abdominal pain a couple times. I also feel a little more sleepy than usual. Hopefully it doesnt get worse. | Too soon to tell but hopefully my fugus goes away because it is so ugly and embarrassing and I'm too young to have this! | F | 22 | 14 days 250 MG 1X day | 3/7/2010 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | In the beginning I had some minor chest pains but only for 2 days then disappeared. | Don't be afraid of taking this drug, it was tested for years on hundred's of thousands of individuals before coming out. "Changes in taste perception, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, stomach upset, or vomiting. As your body adjusts to the drug terbinafine, these side effects should diminish or disappear." ~ as they did for me. Take it for more than a week or two before you make a decision to quit, it's definitely worth not having disgusting looking toe nails anymore (which I had for 5 years before taking the drug). I've already taken the drug for 4 weeks and plan on taking it for the remaining 8. Also I have drank alcohol one day out of each weekend (maybe 5-6 drinks the nights that I drank), and taken a blood test every 2 weeks since I started taking the drug which checked my liver enzymes. Each test resulted in a perfectly healthy liver. Good luck you guys. | M | 23 | 4 weeks | 8/2/2007 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Tiredness, abdominal pain, intestinal pain, lower back pain, nausiated, and occasional bad taste. And anxiety. | It's scary, I got sick then had to have blood work done, liver seemed fine, never checked my kidney's. My toe looks better and doesn't hurt anymore, but my insides are so messed up and hurt really bad, I ended up in ER, they didn't find anything, had CT-Scan everything appears to be fine, but I feel horrible. I called my podiatrist and he recommended that I take one one day then skip a day, or break it in 1/2 and extend my treatment time, but I've heard way too much bad, I'm going to discontinue it, it's not worth the pain and nausia, it's effecting my work and other activities. | F | 23 | 2.5 months | 12/17/2008 | 3 | Toe, foot & fingernail fungus | I've had foot and toenail fungus for 11 years,and finger and index nail fungus for 2 years. I'll start by saying that I'm very prone to common and unusual side effects. The first day I had no symptoms. The second, I experienced slight nausia and anxiety, but I also had a VERY stressful experience with a different matter. I also had strange nightmares, bad enough for my fiance to wake in the night and shake me from it. I also experienced a bit of appetite loss. Since then I've noticed progressing gland soreness in the back of my neck and slight pains at the base of my skull, extreme thirst, slightly frequent urination, slight headache, and a bit of bad gas. I'm almost wondering if mixing with large amounts of coffee is a bad idea. These are very minor side effects, even tolerable...so far. I'd like to say that my mother is a nutritional therapist and if anyone would detest my taking Terbinafine it would be her, very loud and clear. But instead, she only demanded that I take a daily supp | Keep in mind that different people with different lifestyles will have different side effects. Don't get scared or discouraged, just keep an eye out for serious continuous side effects and keep talking to your doctor. | F | 23 | 4 days 250MG 1X day | 5/12/2010 | 3 | Toe fungus | nausea, vomiting, breakthrough bleeding. | I actually had a lot of side effects. Initially, I started taking the pill at night and I suffered from upset stomach and nausea. One night, I had a single beer and spent the rest of it puking up everything I ate the day before. I switched to taking the pill first thing in the morning and that finally stopped. I was even able to have a beer or glass of wine with dinner without that effect. Also, I am on birth control and experienced breakthrough bleeding. I never had it before (being regular for 8+ years) so it was quite a shock. I noted that I'm 'somewhat-satisfied' because it did get rid of my fungus. I guess from this forum this pill really does effect everyone differently. I would recommend checking out other options. | F | 23 | 3 months 250 1X day | 8/30/2012 | 3 | Ringworm | Extreme stomach pains each time I took the pill. This start about 2 weeks into the treatment, the pain only starts when I actually ingest the pill. Felt extreme joint / muscle pain alongside fatigue and the type of headache where your eyes hurt, but that only lasted one day. | Has anyone else experience this stomach pain? It feels almost like a cramping pain / stabbing pain. Not sure if I should discontinue and resort to the cream. | F | 23 | 18 days 250 1X day | 4/6/2024 | 2 | For toenail fungus | Upset stomach, diarrhea, flatulence. Onychomycosis was only cleared up fully in one toenail. 1.5-2 years later, diagnosed with Celiac Disease (stomach reaction to gluten, found a lot in wheat products). Side effects of Celiac Disease: poor digestion, diarrhea, flatulence, severe rash. | For the price of this medication, I expected the fungus would be cleared up in both toes. Since starting Lamisil, I have continued the upset stomach and diarrhea side effects and have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Can't make 100% correlation but timing and symptoms are all too similar. | M | 23 | 3 months | 4/9/2006 | 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 | toe nails on right foot | loss of taste for sweets, breads tasted weird | I can honestly say i am completely satisfied with my results. The nail matrix is growing in clear. I can see a BIG difference. This medicine is certainly not for everyone, it was worth it for me. | F | 24 | 3 months | 8/1/2007 | 3 | Toenail fungus | I haven't had any taste problems, but I felt really bad immendiately after starting the drug. I felt depressed and wanted to eat all the time. I feel better now, and I hope I don't have any more problems with that for the remainder of the course. | I think I got the fungus from poor circulation in my hands and feet. It is in my two big toes. I think my treatment is 12 weeks, or 84 days. I have been taking for 54 days, and trimming the two nails and filing about every month. They are growing out very slowly. But it does look like they are growing out pink now at the very base of the two nails. I am excited about that! The only thing is that summer is almost here, and I probably still won't be able to wear sandles through the summer becuase it takes so long to grow out. It doesn't clear the nail that is there, it just starts to grow out clear. I am giong to have blood work done again in a few days, but I want to finish the pills. I hate not being able to show my toes. | F | 24 | 54 days | 4/13/2008 | 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 | toe nail fungus | hives all over body, swelling on one side of my face; developed within hours of taking one pill | F | 24 | 1 days | 10/12/2006 | 1 | nail fungus | After 1 week of taking lamisil I started getting my left leg numb every time I lay down. After 3 weeks of taking it I'm limping because I feel a sharp pain right above my knee, I'm discontinuing this drug right now. | It seem to work though, I can see pink toe nails growing right at the bottom but I how good is a clear toenail if I can't walk? | M | 24 | 24 days | 6/14/2005 | 1 | Rash | Headache, extremely fatigued, weak neck...heavy headed, dizzy feeling | I had no idea why I was feeling so fatigued, I wake up after 9 hours sleep and find myself falling asleep at work, my eyes are sore, I have a slight throbbing in my head...its a real worry. Can anyone tell me how long these symptoms will last? I have been off the drug for 5 days and have not noticed any improvement!!! please reply | M | 24 | 33 days 250mg 1X day | 8/9/2011 | 1 | Toe Nail Fungus | Metallic taste in the mouth, Upset Stomach, Odd smelling stool, Severe Rash/Hives (appeared 30 days after taking it) | The metallic and stomach issues were tolerable. The rash however, was not. It took about one week for the rash to wear off after I was instructed to stop taking this drug. | M | 24 | 30 days 30 MG 1X day | 11/13/2010 | 5 | fungal infection on my back | Nausea | Took it about 4 years ago and it totally eliminated fungal skin infection I had almost all over my torso (it was not practical to rub a cream all over my body when I could take one tablet instead) | F | 25 | 60 days 250mg 1X day | 3/19/2011 |
