| 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 | 5 | toenail fungus | I had no side effects with this drug. | I was using this drug to treat toenail fungus on two nails. Mine wasn't severe at all. My doctor prescribed 7 pills a month for 12 months. I have been on it for 6 months now and have noticed a change. It may take alot longer but it is better than having side effects that everyone else seems to have. | F | 30 | 6 months | 9/29/2008 | 5 | Toenail fungus | NONE!!! I only drank 2 alcoholic drinks the whole 14 weeks I was on Lamisil (Terbinafine). Two times only I noticed the metallic taste for like 30 seconds after I immediately took the pill and then immediately ate something. NONE!! | I LOVED MY EXPERIENCE!!! I AM FUNGUS FREE!!! There are a lot of horror stories on this forum. And yes, as you can see, there are side effects and not everyone was as lucky as me. But I really do feel that only the 'disgruntled' patients come here to complain and the satisfied patients don't bother writing anything so it looks skewed. I had a great experience, no side effects, and am 100% cured of the awful fungus that kept jumping from toe to toe after one round of the medicine. Toenail fungus just keeps getting nastier and uglier over time!! Please just give it a try!! A year and a half of trying topical prescriptions and at home remedies and getting nowhere was enough for me. I felt very self-conscious in open toed shoes which made the summer miserable for me. Even nail polish couldn't hide the fungus. Yes, you may not be a great candidate for the medicine but you'll never know until you at least try it!!!!! | F | 30 | 100 days 1X day | 9/4/2011 | 4 | nasty toe nails | Been on it for about 5 months. First few weeks slight chest pains went away by the end of the 1st month, still experience joint pain. Can't stop sleeping,I feel very lazy all day. Get lots of headaches, unexplained brusing, most recent one is on my arm, bad heartburn during the night it will wake me right up from a good sleep. Just started to get a bad metalic taste in my mouth. Just afew canker sores through-out the 5mths didn't realize that Lamisil could be the result of that. No weight loss I wish, could use afew less pounds okay maybe more than afew (LOL). Over all I'm surprisngly pleased with the results my toe nails they are almost cleared up. I was ashamed of them before they looked like "corn-nuts" if you don't know what that is google the image. It started off as one bad nail then spread overtime to all of them, they were so hard to cut because they were extermly thick instead of growing in lenght they grew in height. Holy cow they were ugly. Therefore even wit | It's not for everyone. It took me afew yrs to decide wheather to take or not! | F | 30 | 5 months | 2/20/2008 | 3 | Toe nail Fungus | I am within the last 2 weeks of my 3 month perscription. A week and a half ago I totally lost my appitite, have a VERY dry mouth... even after taking a drink of water I am very thristy again. I try to eat everyday but can't eat things that are dry because they become hard to swallow because of the lack of saliva. Also have had loose stool, with some yellow watery discharge, ben VERY anxious... I have alreay lost 10 pound and I am skinny to begin with. I went to the DR and all my liver functions and blood tests came back good. Could this possiably be caused by the Lamisil. Please e-mail me with suggestions | On a plus note I am noticing a diffence with the my to nails but I have quit taking it for the last 2 weeks I had left | M | 30 | 2.5 months | 6/25/2009 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Got taste loss after about 3 weeks. Taste loss lasted for almost a month, but did come back. I stopped taking medicine immediately upon taste loss. Toe nail fungis did go away though, and like I said, taste is back. | Be careful, are pretty toes worth liver damage and taste loss? In retrospect I probably would not have taken it... but I didn't get any permanent problems from it. | M | 30 | 4 weeks | 4/18/2006 | 3 | Ringworm skin infection | Depression, anxiety. Having looked at this and other websites, I do think the tablets have something to do with it, though I have been prone to depression in the past (10 years ago). | It is clearing the infection, but had depression been listed as asidede effect, I would have given the herbal remedy I tried longer to work... | M | 30 | 2 weeks | 10/28/2005 | 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 250 mg 1X day | 2/22/2011 | 2 | Fingernail Onychomycosis | First week you feel weird normal because you are adding a toxic substance into your body! but nothing for now...4 weeks to go... sometimes liver area feels weird! | Guys please listen to me! I am a 30 year old healthy male, happens I hurt one finger nail at gym, and had onychomycosis for about 4 years.. mine is different , it gets infected from the top of the nail, the top stays infected till the new nail grows, but has not been growing to it's normal length but Lamisil after 8 weeks is not helping it got reinfected but seems more controlled so HOPEFULLY it will work after my treatment because they say terbinafin accumulates in nails... also taking the cream at night... HOPE it works!!! just losing hope!!!!!! | M | 30 | 8 weeks 250 1X day | 3/27/2017 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Kidney pain on both sides. Not sure if its kidney but I have sting pain on both sides almost near back side of lower torso. | I've had toenail fungus for about 15years. The left toe nail is infected, and the right toenail and two other toes are also infected. I decided to give this medication a try. I did read the side effects of the medication, one that concerned me the most was that of kidney pain or failure. Well the first day I took the medication the sides, I'm thinking kidneys started to hurt. I kept taking them and today is the fourth day. I may have to stop taking them because of fear of permanent kidney damage. By the way, I believe my self to be a healthy guy, have been vegetarian for 5 years now. | M | 30 | 4 days 250mg 1X day | 2/9/2016 | 1 | toenail fungus | After two months of taking this medication, I went to the dentist to discover I had a cavity. I immediately stopped taking Terbinafine. I also gained 20 lb in the 6 months that followed, while eating the same foods and with the same level of activity. I also got pretty bloated. It has now been 15 months since I stopped taking it, I am still 20 lb overweight and bloated. | While trying to fix a cosmetic problem that no one sees, I got visibly fat and bloated and put a hole in my tooth. Not worth it. | F | 30 | 8 weeks 1x day | 6/1/2016 | 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 | 1 | Tinea versicolor | Blurry vision, skin swelling or retaining water, heart palpitations, racing heart, high blood pressure, nausea, couldn't eat for two weeks, gastritis, diarrhea, nerve issues, heart slows down at night with poor blood circulation, anxiety, very vivid nightmares. | Most of my symptoms have subsided, nausea, gastritis, diarrhea, anorexia, it's been about two months from stopping terbinafine, but now I waiting for my heart to get back to normal, I feel like my heart is on auto pilot. Hopefully I haven't permanently damaged myself.. | F | 30 | 0 weeks 250 mg 1X day | 10/30/2020 | 5 | Mt home idaho | No side effects. I didn't read the label on the spray so I used both the spray and cream for my mocasan athletes athlete's foot and my idiotic boyfriend at the time took four tubes of my antifungal treatment so I wasn't even able to do the full duration of treatment. I used it for about a week and a half. My feet were puss yellow and itched like nothing I had ever experienced before. After finishing treatment a month later my feet were no longer itchy and the mocasan infection is almost gone I can't wait to purchase this again so I can get rid of the rest of this infection. Lotimin wasn't even effective as the two have different active ingredients. | I would recommend this product to someone with a severe case of persistent athlete's foot. Minor cases can be treated with dollar store brands. | F | 31 | 2 weeks Na | 6/23/2017 | 5 | Severe skin fungus | None | I thought I would weigh in on Terbinafine a bit because of the low rating. I had a very good experience with this drug. I was suffering from ringworm covering over 20% of my body (calculated using methods for burn victims). It was this way for two years. I tried every natural method I could in that time in utter desperation and finally decided that I would go to the doctor and suffer the consequences if need be. Anything would be better than scratching myself to a pulp every day. I had blood drawn to test my liver (I am in very good health otherwise), and the results showed that I could probably withstand the drug. The doctor told me not to drink, so I didn't. Not a drop of alcohol for two months. One week after I started taking the tablets, most of the visible affects of the fungus had disappeared. I still seemed to feel a "twinge" of itchiness after one month, so I requested another. I haven't really had any problems since. There was one minor relapse I took care of with antifungal cream. I hate resorting to Western medicine. Believe me--I am no shill for this drug, but I have to say it was my miracle pill. I would advise anyone in the same boat to try it. If you're in good health, I don't think you have anything to lose. | F | 31 | 2 months 250 MG 1X day | 10/6/2010 | 5 | Toe Fungus | None | People always tell you the negative things more than the positive, Try for your self because everyone is diffrent, worked wonders for me. | F | 31 | 3 months | 4/24/2007 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Diahrea, mild headaches, lowered blood pressure (too low). | My toenail fungus is starting to grow out, but I'm not convinced it will end when I finish the remaining 3 weeks of the medication. I can see the fungus is starting to grow back down to the base of the nail in one place. I'm worried it will return when I finish the meds. | F | 31 | 70 days | 3/20/2007 | 5 | Nail Fungus | I really didn't experience any major side effects. | Lamisil worked great for me. I took it for 90 days and after completing the medicine I started to see results. I had fungus on 7 of my 10 toes and all but my 2 big toes have completely grown back healthy. The 2 big toes are almost there. I recommend this for anyone who has nail fungus and no serious illnesses. I understand people are experiencing problems and side effects but everyone is different and it works differently with each person. Dont bad the drug just because it doesnt work for you. | F | 31 | 90 days | 5/17/2006 | 4 | Toe Fungus | I only have a month left on these meds! I'm so happy with the results. Besides a weird feeling in my mouth the first few weeks, nothing else. I drink lots of water and take my meds with dinner. The top layer of the nail fell off and you can see where the new nail is growing. I already bought 2 pairs of sandels for this summer. | F | 31 | 2 months 250mg 1X day | 2/8/2010 | 3 | 4 toenails with fungus | I have stomach pain, knee joint paint, so much gas in my stomach and constipation. I have been taking the medicine for only 2 days. | I have had this fungus problem since 15 years. Tried everything execpt Lamisil. Now I have put myself together and will keep on taking it... | F | 31 | 2 days | 8/31/2009 |
