| 4 | toenail fungus | ABSOLUTELY NONE. | Was hesitant to take it (I took the generic terbinafine for 12 weeks - mucho cheaper!) because of this website but had no side affects at all. This is my last battle in long standing (at least 30 years) war against toenail fungus. I seem to see some improvement 2 weeks after my 12 week course, I'll come back in a few months and let you know if I finally won the war. Let me reiterate - NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL DURING THE 12 WEEK COURSE. | M | 58 | 12 weeks | 1/16/2008 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | None. | After a lifetime of battling this ugly fungus my husband took Lamisil a couple years ago and he is so glad that he did. He thought that his course of drugs was only 30 days but maybe he's not remembering it properly. I am a 58 yr old female and I'm just starting the treatment myself and I will post my experience with it when finished. | M | 65 | 30 days | 1/17/2008 | 3 | Toe Nail Fungus | Rash: It may be Hives. Looked it up and I have the symptoms. Don't think it's Shingles. My rash is on the back of my neck, shoulders, arms, knees, top of my feet, and hands. | If anyone has a natural remedy that has worked, please share. I stopped this medicine on my 28th day. Have a Dr's appt Monday for follow up bloodwork and will advise Dr of the rash. I can see it working but, it's not worth the side effects I'm reading. And this rash is the worse, I can't take it. Called out from work 2 days in a row because it itches like a B*tch... Please post or email me a natural remedy that has worked..... | F | 33 | 28 days | 1/25/2008 | 1 | Athletes foor | Terrible headache after first day. Chills, sweating and bad breath. I did not attribute it to the pill. Took my 2nd dose. This morning i have the same thing. Did a quick search and found this joyful website | M | 34 | 2 days | 1/25/2008 | 1 | toenail fungus | My boyfriend is currently in the hospital in Cleveland, OH, due to using the lamisil. He went away on vacation and while he was there he was hospitalized with flu-like symptoms. They ran several test and came to the conclusion that it was his liver, he had very high liver enzymes due to taking the lamisil. | M | 40 | 3 weeks | 1/28/2008 | 1 | toenail fungus | after 5 days experienced constipation. had to stop for a week because i was sceduled for a colonoscopy. resumed medicine for two more weeks with no more constipation, but started feeling like i was coming down with the flu--even though it was june! then i got the most severe lower back pain i've ever experienced in my life-i almost went to the emergency room. found this user forum online and realized it was the medicine. i stopped it immediately and felt better the next day. | i have to say that i would NEVER recommend using this drug--it isn't even prescribed in other countries. however, lo-and-behold, a month later i noticed my worst nail was growing in pink, and within six short months all my toenails were beautiful and the scales that i have had on my feet for 25 years were gone. | F | 41 | 21 days | 2/12/2008 | 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 | 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 | 1 | toe fungus | loss of taste after 30 days and then constant bitter taste in mouth. can't stand to eat anything. everything tastes gross | I should have never taken this drug | F | 44 | 30 days | 3/1/2008 | 1 | Nail fungus | Sudden total loss of taste / horrible taste after 5 weeks of taking 250 mg tablet daily | I believe from reading the literature about the problem with the horrible taste from Lamisil that this is a fairly rare occurence, but unfortunately that doesn't make me feel a whole lot better. Best I can tell there's no real remedy other than discontinuing the medication and waiting - presumably weeks - for the taste sensation to return. I am literally not able to eat ANYthing right now as everything tastes absolutely horrible. My doctor thought perhaps this might be related to smell or olfactory problems, but I can smell the food perfectly (and it sure smells good!). After a week of this (with no warning at all), I'm virtually starving and have started choking down liquid supplement (Ensure) just to get some calories into myself. I simply cannot gag down any food right now - it all tastes soooo foul | F | 51 | 35 days | 3/13/2008 | 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 | 3 | toenail fungus | Extreme nausea... I've been searching to see if a side affect was nausea but I've only been taking it for 3 days... I am going to ask my doctor at the next visit... and if not, I'm going to stop taking it because I can't take 30 days of this nausea... | F | 37 | 3 days | 3/15/2008 | 1 | toe nail fungus | had toe nail fungus for three years, finally went to the doctor and was so excited to start this med. started it and three weeks later I lost my sense of taste totally. I went off the med immediately and still have no sense of taste 3 weeks later. What a let down. | I can't believe how depressing this side effect is. I don't go anywhere, I don' eat, I have lost 15 lbs, can anyone tell me how long is it going to take to get any sense of taste back? | F | 48 | 21 days | 3/18/2008 | 5 | Nail fungus | Just about every side effect except the liver failure. It was so bad I ended up in the hospital. | Please do not take this drug, it may take you instead. I was healthy, eating right, working out and slowly my health declined. I pray that it will return back to where I was before. Think twice before you place this chemical into your body. Is it worth the risk, and does our vanity mean that much? I had no idea what I was getting into and I'm fighting my way out. It has changed my thinking of approved pharmaceutical drugs. I was knocking on heavens door that night in the hospital. It turn over something in my system that may not become right again. Do not take this drug under any circumstances. | F | 44 | 6 weeks | 3/20/2008 | 3 | tablets for toenail fungus | Sudden weight gain, mostly in my abdomen and difficulty losing the gained weight; daily headaches, itching that has subsided but sometimes drives me crazy, general fatigue. | Taking for 3 months (now at 2.5 months), then will lay off one month, then another 3 month regimen as this fungal infection is quite deep. It actually hurt to clip my nails, as they were so thickened. I may be seeing slight improvement; it is difficult to tell. If this clears up on the Lamisil, I will be grateful. I had previously tried vinegar soaks, epsom salt soaks, OTC fungal paint-on type applications with no luck. I am to use a prescribed paint-on medication that is to thin the thickened nail when I am off the Lamisil tablets. My liver function is being monitored by monthly blood work and so far is normal. Thank goodness! Thanks to everyone for sharing their comments. | F | 52 | 2.5 months | 3/25/2008 | 3 | Toenail fungus | Loss of taste/appetite; itchy rash on legs | I was advised on the potential side effects but hadn't really experienced anything until this past week. I am getting over a cold and wonder if there has been an interaction with the cold medicine. Now experiencing loss of appetite and funny taste in my mouth. Yesterday, also came down with similar symptoms to heat-rash on my lower legs. Toenail appearance is improving though! | F | 33 | 55 days | 3/29/2008 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | not sure if this has anything to do with the meds...but I have lost my want of food and drink...I get hungry and thirsty...then i llok at food and it goes away...I have taken 22 pills... | I dont know if i can contribute the loss of appetite to this medication but I was thinking about why I wasnt hungry and i realized what it could be, then i looked it up and found this website, it very well could be, bow that i c that there are others who have had loss of appetite from this med | F | 19 | 22 days | 4/1/2008 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | tongue felt like I had thrush, abdominal pain... STROKE!!! | I only took Lamisil for 23 days...quit because of abdominal pain side effect. Took last pill on a Friday. Then on Monday of following week had a TIA (my left leg stopped working for a short period.) Had a major stroke on Thursday of that week. Prior to taking Lamisil, I was thin, ate healthy, swam 1/2 mile 3 times a week...taking no other medications. My blood pressure was normal. I was considered VERY healthy. I have since found 3 other people on the internet who had blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) while taking Lamisil and one previously healthy lady like me who had a STROKE the week after she stopped taking it. (That lady was listed on THIS website...now I can no longer find it.) | F | 64 | 23 days | 4/12/2008 | 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 | 1 | Toe Nail Fungus Left Foot Only | Just realized after about 2 weeks of feeling just plain lousy and being out of work last week for 4 days with flu like symptoms, nausea, headache, achiness that it could be the Lamisil. Found this site and tomorrow I will be off it for good. I'm on my second month of a 3 month protocol of 25 mg daily. Have not noticed any improvement on my toenails. Never had any fungus whatsover until about 6 months ago and it stayed on one foot. Have not lossed sense of taste "YET" but am feeling extremely nauseous and a bad headache today. Be careful and BEWARE. | M | 57 | 50 days | 4/13/2008 |
