 3  Jock Itch Thirst. Initially very groggy and tired yet anxious. Side effects began to subside about 5 days into it though Fungus going away, but I was also using a cream. For the past 2 years creams on their own didn't eliminate thefungus. The itch would seem to go away but come back shortly thereafter. This treament seems to be working. I would way rather not take it but when a cheesegrater is your only other option to cure the itch, then sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. M 31 2 weeks

 3  Ringworm Metallic taste in mouth Sleep disturbances Missed menstural cycle Vaginal discharge Headache Fatigue Body aches Honestly - this drug worked for the purpose. The problem is the side effects just keep piling up. I decided to stop taking it because I just can't deal with anything that changes my taste or my period. And no one warned me about either.

 1  Foot Fungus I got really bad itchy hives 15 days into taking my prescription. My joints and some muscles have been hurting for few a weeks and I may contribute that to the prescription too. I still have the hives it has been 4 days now, all over my entire body, head, palms, wrists, arms, neck, chest, hips, legs, and feet. They seem to be subsiding a little since I stopped taking the pill 2 days ago. I got them on a Friday and had them all weekend. I have just left a call into my Dr. I want to know how long this is going to stay in my system. I will not continue taking this after all the comments I have read. I hope my hives do not turn into shingles. F 31 15 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

 1  toenail fungus Taste loss, bitter taste in mouth all the time, mild depression, heavy & longer menstrual cycles, some hair loss, vivid & disturbing dreams, fatigue, muscle spasms, constipation I took lamisil for 6 weeks before losing my taste buds. I stopped taking it as soon as I figured out the cause of all my problems. It took 6 weeks to get my taste buds back. It has been 8 weeks and I still can't taste sweets & I continue to have problems with my menstrual cycle as well as constipation. The metallic taste is not as bad as it was but it is still there. This medicine is poison plain and simple. F 31 49 days

 1  nail fungus loss of tatse After 3 1/2 weeks of Lamisil, I lost my taste. Everything tastes like clay. I have a constant salty taste in my mouth. I have been able to eat scrambled eggs, italian wedding soup and plain crockpot chicken. I have been drinking Ensure for lunch as to not lose more weight(already lost 4lbs). I have been off Lamisil for a week and still no change. If I had known about this side effect, I would have never taken the drug. I hope that I can taste my toothpaste in the morning. I don't know how many more weeks I can live like this. F 31 24 days

 5  Tonail fungus No side effects, i even got very drunk more than a few times while taking it and nothing has gone wrong. I have gone through the treatment three times now and it takes around a month to see some progress. It keeps coming back because i have never taken it for more than 2 months but i can clearly see how the new nail is coming out clean an good 32 20 days

 4  Severe toenail fungal infection Started taking Terbinafine on 11/4/14. No side effects until yesterday 11/17 when I started having severe nausea. I am going to muscle through unless the doctor pulls me off of it because I am ALREADY seeing results on my toenails. Liver function test scheduled on 12/2. Also using tea tree oil on the nail bed... makes all the difference. As far as the nausea, what I am finding is that if I eat bland, easily digestible foods such as soup, applesauce, meal replacement shakes etc... it makes it easier to get through. Also ginger tea and mints. Sandals by summer! P.S. Not pregnant. F 32 12 days

 4  toe fungus had horrible indigestion the first 2-3 weeks, but that quickly subsided. Continued to drink alcohol occasionally. I'm on day 75 of the 90-day treatment. I was terrified of taking this medication after getting on this board, but I haven't had any problems. They say it can take up to a year for any signs of improvement to the fungus, but I can already tell a difference in the look and feel of my toenail. (Just in time for summer! Thank goodness!) While I believe this drug to be highly powerful and believe the side effects many people are reporting are real, I think if you need to take this drug to get rid of a fungus, you should do so. Just monitor yourself very closely while on the drug. F 32 75 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

 4  toenail fungus brief but intense light headedness followed by nausea, gassy, slight change in appetite, dry skin especially on arms and stomach, slight lower back pain. This is wierd but one day each week (every thursday) I have a very intense but brief light headedness followed by nausea until I can lay down. The last time this happened I skipped the pill that night and felt great until today (thursday of course). I'm skipping the pill tonight and we'll see how I feel tomorrow. I was going to stop but the other posts here gave me the courage to keep going. I saw on one post where the person took the pill every other day. I may try something like that if my Thursday feeling bad routine holds up. I've had one follow up liver exam and all looked good. 9.5 weeks to go! M 32 15 days

 3  Toenail Fungus After many attempts of topical treatments, this seems to be the first thing which actually is helping my toe -- very slow going, but it seems like new growth is clear and healthy. However, I also take birth control pills and it seems I am experiencing the side effect of "irregular periods" -- I haven't had a period for 3 months now (I am not pregnant.) I'm not completely sure this is due to the Lamisil but as it is a very harsh drug and this side effect is listed, I am assuming this is the reason. Has anyone else experienced this side effect? I am going for bloodwork and further tests next week to rule out other causes and will stop Lamisil if it is the only remaining factor. At the moment I really don't feel at ease continuing this medication, which is a shame because it does actually seem to be working! F 32 25 days

 2  Fungal nail infection (toe) Severe nausea, can't eat and thought of food makes me feel sick. Lack of appetite. Bloated - when I eat small amounts I feel like I've had a 3 course meal. Joint pains all over body, severe aching and weakness. Nerve pains in arm & hands - shooting pains down left arm and stabbing pains in fingers. Severe fatigue with no relief after sleep. Headaches (the kind where it hurts to move your eyeballs). Wobbly teeth??? Not heard of this one but my top teeth all wobble after eating. Very dark urine. And I don't seem to be urinating as much as previously despite drinking more water. Unsure if nail infection has gone yet. Hope I don't have to be on these tablets much longer, although they are helping me lose some weight! F 32 4 weeks

 1  Toe nail fungal infection Do you want to lose one of your five senses? If so, just take Terbinafine. I am unable to taste food properly and have a constant bitter, salty taste in my mouth. The idea of never being able to taste food again is very, very scary and depressing. This side effect far outweights the benefits of getting rid of the nail infection. It is better to have the infection than to lose one of your five senses. F 32 42 days

 1  Toenail fungus Developed a mild cold after afew days, but who knows if that was related. Extremely dehydrated and very fatigued, unlike anything I have felt before - yet I could not sleep for more than three hours. Felt anxiety/depression after about four or so days, with no real reason why. There was absolutely no documentation about the drug in the packaging, which is very bad. Most of my side effects had cleared several days after discontinuing use of the drug. Stick with your ailment - after reading 250+ comments which are all generally the same, there is clearly a problem with this drug. It's not worth the risk of liver damage and losing taste sensations...not to mention the ridiculously high price. M 32 6 days

 1  Nail Fungus Stomachache I've only taken this drug for one day, and I have a persistent pain in my stomach, not like indigestion, but a tightness. Has anyone experienced side-effects this quickly? Is this a sure precursor to more serious problems? F 32 1 days

 1  Fungus on right big toe Gradual taste loss over 4 weeks resulting in complete loss. Styarted with sweets tasing funny. Then metallic taste. Then by the 70th day or so, no taste at all. Talked to doctor yesterday; she was surprised that I though Lamisil might be responsible. I had to tell HER about the literature indicating taste loss. Anyway, she agreed and I quit the medication. As of today I can taste salt, bananas, and coffee. I'm hoping the recovery won't take long. Don't take Lamisil if you don't have to. M 32 75 days

 1  Toenail Fungus I took the drug for 55 days. At about day 40 I began to lose my sense of taste. I have been off the drug for one week and still can't taste anything. This is a very depressing side effect. You just don't look forward to eating. M 32 55 days

 1  Toenail Fungus Stomach cramps and bloating I stopped taking this medicine after 4 days! The stomach cramps were unbearable, and I think I'd rather live with a nail fungus than suffer 90 days of this. I found this site because I was researching what side effects may be, as I was told that this medicine was WELL TOLERATED! Not according to anyone on this site! I was shocked to see how many OTHER side effects were reported by users, that I had not been told of. I think this stuff should be off the market. F 32 4 days
