| 5 | Toenail Fungus | No side effects | This website had me scared out of my mind to take the generic Lamisil. After 3 months, my liver is great, and no side effects to report. My toenail fungus that I've had since I was 14 is gone and the athletes foot that I've had since I was 5 is also gone. I've battled athletes foot all my life and have been embarrassed to ever wear open toed shoes. I'm beyond happy with my results and urge everyone to be aware of the POSSIBLE side effects, but there are many positive cases out there, people just want to tell about their bad experiences. | F | 25 | 3 months | 12/19/2008 | 4 | Toenail fungus (5 toenails) | On day 25 I had taste disturbance during one meal but it went away. I noticed this happened the day I ate too many sweets so I've cut down on sugar dramatically. Bad rash developed the same day, but I stopped scratching and it went away. Liver enzyme test came normal after 4 weeks on treatment. But on day 44 I started experiencing extreme fatigue and really bad back pain. I've been consuming too much caffeine so this might have trigger the pain in combination w/the drug since I had been ok before consuming too much coffee. I have lost my appetite but if you have weight issues this might be a positive thing. | I am determined to finish the treatment despite the symptoms since having toenail fungus has affected my self steem tremendously! Fungus feeds off sugar so I'm limiting my intake of sweets. As fungus dies, toxins from the decay of fungi is released into the body which cause symtoms, so drinking lots of water flushes them out. I see clear tonails growing now! Don't lose hope, just eat healthy, lots of water, and nail that fungus! | F | 25 | 45 days 250mg 1X day | 8/13/2012 | 3 | Toenail fungus | I little spacey, but could be from the aciphex I am also taking. | I've been on this for two weeks and have had hardly any side effects. I have found that thinking about the pill too much is what's causing the problem, so I take it at night, with some milk or a light snack. I did notice I do get a little spacey, but only when I first take the pill, and I just sleep that off. I can't wait to see the positive results, and don't let all the negative hype scare you. The majority of the negative side effects happen in less than 3% of people taking this medication! | F | 25 | 2 weeks | 4/13/2009 | 1 | Toe nail fungus and athletes foot | Headches, diarrhea, constipation, slight taste loss, dull pain in rib cage area, stomach burning sensation, feeling tired, fever & chills upon day 45. Once I experienced fever&chills on day 45 I stoped the pill right away. I was suppose to be on a 90 day perscription. | DO NOT USE THIS DRUG. THIS DRUG IS POISON. STICK TO OTHER REMEDIES PERIOD. IT IS NOT WORTH TAKING THE RISK. YOUR HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT PERIOD. MY BLOOD RESULTS SHOW GOOD LIVER FUNCTION. HOWEVER, I WILL GET ADDITIONAL LAB WORK DONE NOW. ITS NOW ALSO BEEN 45 DAYS AFTER THE PILL. I FEEL GOOD BUT SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE MY STOMACH IS NOT OK. EATING HEALTHY AND STAYING HYDRATED.DO NOT USE THIS DRUG. | M | 25 | 45 days 250mg | 12/5/2017 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Major headaches - to the point of not being able to function, blurry vision, loss of taste, upset stomach, depression | F | 25 | 30 days | 2/7/2006 | 5 | Toe nail fungus | loss of taste/hunger, mild back pain. | This cleared up my fungus in a month and my nails look great. I can finally go get a pedicure without being embarrassed. LAMISIL IS GREAT!!!!!! | F | 26 | 2 months | 11/7/2006 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Always tired. | I began taking these pills and after 5 days, I couldn't stay awake at all. I did some research on the net and found some natural solutions. I file my the top of my nails at least once a week until I get to the fungus. Each day I soak my feet in Hydrogen Peroxide. After that, i soak my feet once more in Apple Cider Vinegar, dry them and topically apply Oil of Oregano in the morning and once again in the afternoon. To avoid the side effects, I ground up the Lamisil pills and mixed them with a little water and applied this topically at night. Hey, I'm no doctor, but this is working for me. It seems as if the fungus is just disappearing. Not even growing out in the form of a new nail, just disappearing. I think that it's mostly the natural remedies that are curing me and it may even be a waste of the pills to grind them up, but I didn't want to throw them away. Talk to the doctor before you do this, but for me the natural way works the best, and there are zero side effects. Good | M | 26 | 30 days | 4/30/2006 | 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 250 mg 1X day | 4/4/2011 | 5 | toenail fungus | I have been taking the generic form of Lamisil (terbinafine hydrochloride) for 45 days so far, out of a total 90 day treatment plan. I had very mild nausea during first 3 days of treatment. After that went away, I felt great for the remainder of the time I've been on the medication. As far as my toenails go, I can see a small margin of healthy nail starting to grow in, and it looks great! | Although I have been feeling good, I do want to mention one side effect that I experienced. I am taking birth control pills along with the Lamisil, and I experienced a lot of breakthrough bleeding during my first month of taking Lamisil. I've never experienced this before. Because the main components of birth control pills are broken down by cytochrome P450 in the liver, AND Lamisil inhibits cytochrome P450, it makes sense that taking Lamisil would affect the metabolism of hormones in birth control pills. This would also explain the breakthrough bleeding that I experienced. I would suggest that other women taking both BCP and Lamisil concurrently use an alternate form of contraceptives while on Lamisil. | F | 26 | 45 days 250 mg 1X day | 3/22/2010 | 5 | Toenail fungus | My sense of smell was slightly altered...it seemed like I could always smell something like metal...but really it wasn't that serious, just odd! | Worked really well for me! Toenail fungus IMMEDIATELY stopped spreading after a week on Lamisil. After 12 weeks, fungus was halfway grown out. 6 months later, the fungus had completely gone, thank goodness. Obviously it is your choice to take the medication or not, but please don't be scared by all the awful information about the possible side effects. My doctor says that the possible risks are WAY overblown and as long as you are healthy you should be just fine. | F | 26 | 3 months | 12/12/2008 | 4 | Toenail fungus | I have yet to experience any side effects. (Fingers crossed) | The first time I had received this medication I was too scared to start it because of all the negative reviews and side effects others had experienced ...After years of covering up my toes and not wearing sandals I finally went back to my podiatrist two years later to get a new prescription, along with a million of questions. I’m about halfway through the treatment and just now starting to see results. Anxious to finish this in time for vacation! Will keep updates posted.. | F | 26 | 5 weeks 250 MG | 11/29/2017 | 1 | Toe Nail | Almost complete loss of taste after about 7 weeks on Lamisil. | After 3 weeks of no taste, I tried taking Acidophilus and a holistic liver cleansing solution. If anyone still does not have their taste, try this! In just 2 days of these things I am sporadically tasting things. It goes away shortly, but its better than nothing, and after 3 weeks instead of months and months! | M | 26 | 7 weeks | 9/22/2007 | 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 250mg 1X day | 8/23/2011 | 5 | Fungus on my right big toe | The only side effect for me was the price. Ouch! | I wanted to write a review after a successful use of this product because I believe that the majority of people who write on these boards are unsatisfied users and the satisfied users typically do not come back to share their results. Now, this is a very serious drug and should be taken with precaution and discretion. But not all experiences are “horror” stories, so here is mine, I had fungus on my right big toe ever since I can remember. Like most, I was embarrassed to show off my toe and was envious of everyone that could. I wanted to get rid of this unwelcome guest and was convinced that topical treatment could not effectively do the job. I decided to use Lamisil and I have to admit, it worked! – And no, I am not in any way a rep for this product. It took 6 weeks to visibly see my new toe coming in, and about 5 months to have a normal, pink toe. It’s now been 9 months since I used this treatment and the fungus has not returned, although, I now use Tinactin | M | 27 | 90 days | 10/18/2008 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | No major side effects at all, but be VERY careful about drinking alcohol when you are taking this medication. On a few occasions, I felt as if I had been poisoned after only having a few drinks. It also greatly reduces your tolerance for alcohol. Obviously, the instructions warn against drinking alcohol, but this is definitely some advice you should follow while taking this medication! | It's been nearly 7 months since I completed the course and the 2 toenails that had been infected are still cloudy and not quite pink and healthy just yet, although the fungus does appear to be gone. I would have rated this medication a 5 if it didn't take so long to work (and I'm still hoping that it does work completely)! | F | 27 | 12 weeks | 6/21/2005 | 3 | Toenail Fungus, both feet | Headaches, Kidney Inflammation, metallic taste, pale stool | I noticed the headaches and pale stool within a week or two of starting generic lamisil. However the headaches were easily manageable with painkillers, and the pale stool simply had my doctor order blood tests. After a month or so I noticed the metallic taste and some abdominal pain that would subside a few hours after taking a pill. In the final two weeks of a three month course of treatment, the abdominal pain got worse and I was forced to stop taking any doses. I am awaiting the results of new blood tests on my kidney function. In the third month I could see the start of clearer nails growing in. I am hopeful that the nail will continue to grow this way now that I have stopped taking lamisil. | M | 27 | 75 days | 6/2/2008 | 2 | NAil Fungus | Rash | M | 27 | 2 days | 9/22/2004 | 1 | toenail fungus | Weight gain, abnormal liver enzymes, abdominal pain, slowed down thyroid which caused additional problems. 6 months later.....I'm still trying to undue the damage! | F | 27 | 3 weeks | 12/7/2002 | 5 | To improve my toenails | The only side affect that I had at first was within the first week of starting Lamisil. I broke out in a little rash on my legs and arms but went away. Another side affect was at times I felt a bit of nausa. | I had a wonderful experience with this medicine. I just finished my last dosage today and my nails look beautiful. All my blood work came back good for my liver. I still have time to see improvments but now I walk around with sandels and I am not scared to show off my toes!! | F | 28 | 114 days | 7/15/2008 | 5 | toe nail fungus | None at all! DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL DURING OR AFTER THE USE OF LAMISIL. It WILL have an affect on your liver test results. | It definitely worked for me. My toe nails look great! | M | 28 | 3 months | 7/30/2008 |
