| 4 | toenail fungus on 8 toes | I woke up the morning after my first dose with a very strong metallic taste in my mouth. I'd had trouble sleeping, weird dreams, elevated heart rate and some anxiety. IT ONLY LASTED 1 DAY. DON'T GIVE UP IF IT IS ROUGH AT FIRST! | I had been reading about the horrible side effects of lamisil before I got the prescription and I was very worried when I woke up to that bad taste in my mouth. but I've been on it for 8 days now and there are zero side effects now. too soon to tell how the med will work but at least its worth a shot. I want nice toes! | F | 35 | 90 days 250 mg 1X day | 3/9/2010 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | I have been on this med for 30 days and went to get my blood work today. Awaiting the outcome of that. I do not have any major side effects and the nail has begun to grow out. I am also taking Udos Oil it has always helped my nails grow faster. In 30 days it it has grown about 1/8 of an inch. It is clear. I am excited. The doctor has given me another prescription but I will not fill until after I receive results of blood work. I hope for the clear pretty nails others have spoke of. | I have been taking Milk Thistle and drinking water with the pill. I am not sure if the Milk Thistle causing gassiness....but it is definitely there and happy I sleep alone at the moment. LOL! | F | 35 | 30 days 250 MG 1X day | 1/7/2011 | 3 | Toenail Fungus on 8 of 10 | None. Although, I am itching like crazy after eating a bunch of chocolate. | I just started Lamisil 10 days ago and so far have experienced none of the side effects others have complained of. I was skeptical at first because of the overwhelming number of negative reviews and side effects. When my podiatrist prescribed it, I was really nervous to start taking it. Having read all of the side effects of this, it reminds me of the side effects of candida/yeast die off. My youngest child is autistic and very often autistic children have an overgrowth of candida and undergo antifungal treatments to rid their bodies of this overgrowth. The side effects are nearly identical to that die off. They can make you pretty miserable. They can be so severe sometimes that you wouldn't recognize your own child due to the moodiness and irritability. Aside from being extremely itchy tonight after I ate too much Valentine's chocolate, I have had none of the side effects. It may be too early for me as I am only 10 days into treatment. I have actually had more energy and felt pretty good. I'm curious to see what the following weeks will bring. I saw another poster say not to let the pill touch your tongue. I think I will give that a try and see if helps with the taste issue. | M | 35 | 10 days 250mg 1X day | 2/11/2011 | 3 | toe fungus | Started feeling very tired and needed at least 10 hrs of sleep every night to feel like I could even function. I was also training for a 1/2 marathon so I wasn't sure what to blame the tiredness on (training or drug). After about 4 weeks starting losing sense of taste. This has been extremely disruptive to my life as I'm a big foodie and love to cook and eat. Mouth tastes like I've been sucking on salt. Only very strong flavors can be noticed. I can still smell but my mouth feels horrible. Also noticing some stomach cramping. My primary doc ordered liver tests and they came back fine but this is not at all what I was expecting. Dermatologist who put me on this drug told me to go off it at once, once i reported the lack of taste stating that it could become permanent if I continue it. SCARY!!!! | I was initially very hesitant to go on this drug but once it was offered cheaper in the Terbinafine, I went on it after trying a very strong perscription for a "toenail fungus paint". That showed little to no improvement after 6 months and I was very distraught with the looks of my nails. I have the fungus in 5 of my 10 toes. My nails are starting to look a lot better but I'm fearful that the fungus will now return since I was not on the drug for at least 12 weeks (more like 7). I did occasionally have a glass of wine and this didn't seem to matter much but it didn't taste as good as I would have liked. I'm just really disappointed that there aren't a lot of options out there for toe fungus that don't wreak havoc on one's system. | F | 35 | 50 days 250 mg 1X day | 5/6/2010 | 1 | fungal infection in one toe | Loss of taste | I have already posted here with a tip to help people eat who have lost their taste but I wanted to update and give some more hope. I am sure my taste is returning, by no means is it back to normal yet but I am now able to eat normally but with just less enjoyment. Citrus foods still taste horrible but on the whole I can detect flavours just not as strongly as I once could. I stopped treatment 25 days ago. I panicked at first but I feel quietly confident it should be fine eventually. good luck | M | 35 | 35 days | 1/27/2010 | 1 | Toe nail | Loss of taste , tiredness, nausea and dark urine | F | 35 | 35 days 1X day | 5/1/2013 | 1 | Fungal toe nail | Loss of appetite , dry mouth and awful taste disturbance sweet foods taste salty etc | F | 35 | 30 days 1X day | 4/27/2013 | 1 | Ringworm | I took this medicine for 4 weeks and about a week after I stopped taking it I noticed I had lost my sense of taste. I quit taking it on 8-21-06 and it is now 9-11-06 and I still am waiting for my taste to return. | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE. I would much rather still have ringworm. I have lost weight and I am hungry all the time and I can't eat. My doctor did not even know loss of taste was a side effect and she did all kinds of tests (bloodwork and MRI of my brain) and she finally agreed, after I had told her about what I had found on this website, that I lost my taste from Lamisil. She had me all worried about a brain tumor pressing on my pituitary gland. Please tell me this is just temporary because I cannot live like this. How can I get in touch with the manufacturer of this drug? | F | 35 | 4 weeks | 9/11/2006 | 1 | Fingernail fungus | I had constant nausea after about a week of taking the medicine. Constant headaches as well as abdominal pain by the 3rd week. Just stopped taking it and I now have a very bitter taste at the back of my throat and have lost taste. General feeling of malaise and fatigue. | Just started to see improvement by the 3rd week, but unable to stay on this medication because of the side effects. | F | 35 | 26 days | 6/14/2004 | 1 | fungal infection on foot | Using the cream which supposedly has no side effects. Apply cream in am. and pm. Started having excruciating headaches by day three, didn't realize what might be causing them. Quit cream day four. No headache day five. Started cream again, first two days only used cream at bedtime. Third day used pm. and fourth am. again. Headache returned with a vengence by afternoon. I think I'll try tea tree oil-really no side effects | F | 35 | 12 days | 2/3/2009 | 1 | FINGERNAIL FUNGUS | SEVERE DEPRESSION, SEVERE ANXIETY, PANIC ATTACKS. MOOD SWINGS | TOOK IT FOR ABOUT 30 DAYS (ONCE PER DAY AS PRESCRIBED). AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I STARTED TO FEEL SAD, BORED, ALONE (IM MARRIED WITH TWO KIDS). AFTER ABOUT THE THIRD WEEK, I WAS EXPERIENCING HOT/COLD SWEATS, NERVOUSNESS, INSOMNIA. FELT LIKE I WAS LOOSING MY MIND. HORRIBLE, RACING THOUGHTS GOING THROUGH MY HEAD THAT WOULDN'T STOP. EVEN SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AT TIMES. WAS CRYING FOR 3 DAYS I WAS SO SAD AND DEPRESSED. MY WIFE SAW HOW I WAS ACTING AND LOOKED FOR REVIEWS. IM GLAD SHE DID. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED TAKING IT. STILL NOT COMPLETELY BACK TO NORMAL AFTER BEING OFF OF IT FOR 2 WEEKS. MY WIFE TOOK ME TO THE DOCTOR AGAIN BECAUSE THINGS WERE GETTING SO BAD. THE DOC PUT ME ON AN ANTI-DEPRESSANT AND AN ANTI-ANXIETY MED. SECOND DAY ON THOSE AND IT SEEMS TO BE HELPING, BUT I'M NOWHERE NEAR BACK TO NORMAL. | M | 35 | 30 days ? 1X day | 2/7/2017 | 1 | Loss of taste | A possible tip for eating with taste loss! I think I've found a way to cope better with this awful side effect and wanted to share. I've been off the pills for about 10 days with almost complete loss of taste - very upsetting and unable to hardly eat anything. The other day I made a roast dinner (my fave usually) took 2 bites and had to stop as it was so disgusting (not my cooking!) Today however I decided to try a bit of the left over chicken and could detect a slight chicken flavour. I focussed in on the flavour and managed to eat several pieces. I think that the shock of losing my taste means that my brain registers the loss and the metallic taste first and this drowns out the little flavour I can detect. My suggestion is to eat one food at a time and consciously focus in on any (nice) flavour you can taste. It isn't a cure but by doing that I've managed to eat chicken and a home made (liquidised) soup. For the last 10 days I've only managed ready brek and banana whizzed up with milk. I hope it helps other sufferers | F | 35 | 35 days | 1/13/2010 | 1 | For toe fungus | Sever panic attacks, abdomen pain where Gaul bladder is, chest pain numbness. Dizzy, sick, muscle aches, can't eat without pain/ panic attacks, los of vision | I urge anyone who is thinking of using this, please don't, I am a healthy 35 year old male, my life has been ruined from this drug. Multiple visits to the Er, blood work, ultrasounds with no explanation. I have been so sick. Almost 6 weeks after my last pill and I'm still having these side effects. | M | 35 | 90 days 250 1X day | 12/6/2020 | 1 | fungal skin infection | Anxiety worsening depression intrusive thoughts Tremors | I can't believe how awful they made me feel! | F | 35 | 5 days 20mg 1X day | 3/23/2022 | 5 | Athlete's foot/toenail fungus | None. | This stuff is fantastic. I've been on it for 4 weeks, haven't had a single side effect, and my feet look great. The itching stopped completely within the first week, and by the second I noticed my feet weren't as red and scaly. The toenails are starting to look normal, too, pinker than before, and they seem to be growing in less thick and nasty. For the first time in years I've been able to wear sandals without embarrassment. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has had severe problems with toenail fungus and athlete's foot. | F | 36 | 27 days | 6/18/2008 | 5 | Toe nail fungus | Two very bad migraines the first two weeks, which I noticed was when I drank some alcohol. ( one glass of wine the first time and te second time a martini and a beer). After that though no side effects at all. | I was at first terrified to take Lamisil after reading up on it and warning I received from the Pharmacist, but so far it has worked amazing for me. My fungus had spread to several of my toes resulting in one of my toe nails splitting in half and the other completely falling off. My nails now, all except of course the one which fell off, look almost normal. I would defintly recommend Lamisil. | F | 36 | 2 months 250 1X day | 9/21/2011 | 5 | Toe Nail Infection | Seriously, No side effects at all so far, it's been about 30 days that I've been on this(generic). But after reading all these reviews, I am sitting here eating a pint of chocolate peanut butter haagen-dasz ice cream while I still have my sense of taste! I cannot afford to lose weight! I am going to eat everything under the sun, come to think of it..just in case! Holy cow, I never realized how many people were effected BADLY. | Had a toe nail infection on my big toe, for MANY years..ugly!! Then it spread to the other toes on the foot, that foot was always dry and cracked, red and AWFUL looking. Well now it looks BEAUTIFUL after only 1 month, my toe nails are looking great again, already- wish I could stop taking it to avoid these scary poissible side effects I am reading about here! But I can taste everything still just fine! (ok, back to eating ice cream now..) | F | 36 | 30 days 1X day | 9/5/2010 | 3 | Finger nail | Muscle aches and tingling and numbness. I need to be on this medication for 5 more weeks but will have to discontinue againsts my doctors request to continue. | I've been tingling for 8 days (24/7) and muscle aches for 5 days. I made an appointment to see my doctor and my blood panel was within normal limits. Went to acupuncturist and he said poor circulation. I work out 3 days a week (2 days swimming) and eat right. No other major changes in lifestyle and couldn't figure out why my body feels like this. | M | 36 | 7 weeks 1X day | 12/11/2011 | 3 | Toe fungus | No side effects. | Through a micommunication with my doctor, I've been taking Lamisil for 5 months straight (2 months longer than apparently I was supposed to). My toe fungus is progressivly clearing up, but I am concerned about how long I've been taking it and potential long-term effects. | M | 36 | 5 months | 4/24/2007 | 2 | big toenail infection | Scared at what I'm hearing! After looking at other medicines, I found they have similar complaints. What are the statistics on liver/kidney problems caused by the drug? Are they rare? | M | 36 | 2 weeks | 2/2/2006 |
