| 1 | M.D. thought I had nail fungus | Severe allergic reaction: Acute Generalized Exanthamatous Pustulosis!! Started with slight rash after taking pill for 23 days. The explosive, chemical reaction in my bloodstream caused nausea, fatigue, fever and the worst skin reaction with pustules, edema, itching, redness - totally unbelievable until one sees it!! Stopped medication on June 17th. I am still suffering. The allergic reaction took over my entire body, every place where there is skin and blood. Took tapering dose of Prednisone as prescribed but it did not stop reaction from reaching my face, hair,all through to my finger tips & toes. Hair feels like cotton candy. I would describe it as a severe chemical burn. My entire first layer of skin is sloughing off. Since it did reach my lower legs at one point I could not walk because the swelling and burning pain was so severe - very scary. Almost every day I had a brief melt down. Soothing Oatmeal Baths helped the most. My total recovery, most likely end of Au | Number One: Be Sure the Diagnosis is correct before ingesting Medication! Be Sure you are aware of all the side effects!!! | F | 63 | 23 days | 7/27/2008 | 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 | 3 | no known side effect at the time took it over a year fungus cleared up after 10 or 11 months around year 2000 fungus comming back again in 2008 | now in 2008 I have liver cancer may be a connection | M | 15 months | 8/4/2008 | 3 | toenail fungus | I've been taking the generic for about 3 weeks. Haven't noticed any side effects so far. I do however really miss cocktails!!! I went on vacation last week and my doctor told me to just take a break from the prescription so I could have drinks with friends. Hmmm I did it but now I wonder if it was a good idea. Haven't seem improvement in the nails but they were so ugly I hide them under dark polish. We'll see at next pedicure. | F | 49 | 21 days | 8/8/2008 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | Extreme fatigue, pale stools, abdominal pain, indigestion, taste disturbance. | My bloodwork was fine while taking this medicine, however the side effects did indicate possible liver problems so I stopped taking the drug anyway. It's a shame too because it was really starting to work, but I won't risk destroying my liver over it. | M | 45 | 30 days | 8/21/2008 | 5 | Toenail fungus | None really. My taste buds on the back of my tongue were swollen for a couple of weeks after 2 1/2 months of the treatment but I'm not sure it was from the Lamisil. No loss of taste. Overall working fine!! PINK TOENAILS AGAIN!! | LOVE IT!! My liver function test were normal. I am seeing pink toenails again. I had several toes that were infected because I was either pregnant or breastfeeding for 2 1/2 years and could not take it. Very minor side effects if any at all. I can not wait until all the fungus is gone and I can wear open toe shoes with confidence again. I will let cha know later. | F | 35 | 80 days | 8/24/2008 | 1 | toe nail fungus | I started taking the generic brand of lamisil and I have been on it for about 40 days. After about 35 days into taking the medication, I noticed a change in my sense of taste. At first, I wasn't too sure what was happening. I also noticed that I was always thirsty even though I drink a lot of water already. I also noticed a metalic after taste in my mouth. My stomach was a bit queasy at times and I found myself very tired. My doctor and pharmasist did not warn me about these particular side effects at all. When I started doing more research on the drug and I had realized that other people were describing the same symptoms and more, I decided to stop taking the medication. It is not worth losing all sense of taste over toenail fungus. I looked into homeopathic remedies and one of the things that was suggested was to soak your feet in epsom salt once a day. It may take a while to get rid of the fungus but it is worth a shot. I can always cover my toes with toenail polish. I am | I reccommend that you seriously think about ALL the side effects before taking this medication. I don't think it's worth it and all doctors and pharmacists SHOULD go over EVERY side effect there is. | F | 49 | 40 days | 9/3/2008 | 4 | Nail fungus (toes) | Decreased ability to metabolize caffeine and alcohol. Malaise. | It seems to work so I just deal with the side effects :P | M | 29 | 2 months | 9/4/2008 | 4 | toe fungus | I took lamisil for 28 days and had no side effects. | I had blood work done to check my liver and the doctor called two days later and told me to stop taking it because it was affecting it. Otherwise I would still be taking it for 2 more months. It really cleared up my athletes foot on the bottom where it always was itching and was starting to see my two affected toes improve. I have to go back in a month for blood work to check my liver again. I will start looking at home remedies. | F | 45 | 28 days | 9/6/2008 | 1 | toenail fungus | After 26 days of Lamisil, had severe allergic reaction. Hives all over the body, from head to toe, swelling of the face, joint pain, you name it. Went to the dermatologist who prescribed this poison, and he put me on Steroids and Benadryl to fight the severe allergic reaction. This is my 2nd day on Steroids, and allergic reaction persists. Hope that it will be gone in a few days. | A classic case of the solution being worse than the initial problem. Don't take this poision. | M | 34 | 26 days | 9/6/2008 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Horrible Metallic dry taste in my mouth after taking it for 2 weeks and for 2 days after discontinuing it. Extreme fatigue. Flu like symptoms. | After seeing all the bad comments with mine added on this website I would not recommend this drug to anyone. | F | 45 | 21 days | 9/14/2008 | 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 | 1 | toe nails | Im writing on behalf of my mother who is 54, and like many others is suffering from complete taste loss after 5 weeks. It's been a horrible experience for her so far, to not be able to taste ANYTHING. She's lived on chicken nuggets for the past 3 weeks. She's lost weight and she's depressed. I think that comes from not being able to taste food and fear that it may never come back, you just eat to get strength. Its comforting to know that most of these people at least got SOME taste back in about 6 weeks. Im so glad I found this page. Its helped a lot...thank God, since the doctors completely blow you off and have no obvious clue to this side effect. Thats amazing since it IS like the 3rd side effect on the list. I think much more attention needs to be drawn to that particular one. I've seen what this med does and would not reccomend it for anyone!!! | F | 54 | 5 weeks | 10/2/2008 | 1 | toe nail fungus | After the 3rd month of completing one round of lamisil I now have abdominal pain that is getting severe. My taste is effected, but can taste food ok. However, I feel that my liver is infected and will call the doctor tomorrow. I will follow up if I live. The nail fungus is about 80 percent gone. | I think my liver is infected with pain in my upper abdominal area. | M | 49 | 3 months | 10/13/2008 | 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 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | After 3 months on the medication with no apparent problem, I noticed decrease in my smell and taste but thought it was due to a sinus infection. The condition worsened and after sinus problem was gone, the persistent phantom smell and taste didn't cease. I cannot distinquish the smell of perfume from cigarette smoke. The taste of coffee, pizza and steaks is like rotten mushrooms. Some taste like lemons and oranges is discernable. | Has anyone successfully recovered from the taste/smell loss? Has anyone done any type of detox to help the recovery? is there some natural way to cure this malady. I do not recommend this for anyone unless you are aware of the chances that it may fail you. The sad part is that I used to be an excellent cook and I cannot even make a decent cup of coffee or smell popcorn!! I would rather have my toenail removed and have a fake one...... Quality of life is hampered!! Even beer and wine is not refreshing!!! Any feedback would be welcomed. | M | 46 | 3 months | 10/18/2008 | 1 | toenail fungus | Day 31, horrible bitter/metallic taste. Discontinued immediately. Now med-free for 19 days, lost sense of taste for sugar, carbs, bread products and dairy. Can barely taste meat. Water is disgusting unless peppermint oil is added. Lost 6 pounds of muscle already. | This medicine has serious adverse effects that are not disclosed can last for 35-120 days after last pill taken. Began doing a lemon/hot water drink to cleanse the liver with some success. This product is not worth the risks of damage. | F | 41 | 31 days | 11/5/2008 | 1 | 4 weeks | Took Lamisil for nail fungus for 4 weeks. Ran out of medicine so, I went to get a refill but was informed by my doctor I had to have my liver function checked first. There was a three day period before I saw my doctor and noticed I had loss all taste. Stopped taking medicine immediatly. Now, one week off drug and I have a constant salty taste in my mouth and all foods even water are horrible. Can't eat and I see that I am already losing weight. Would never have taken this medication had I known this would happen. Destroys your quality of life. This drug should be banned.I think all people suffering from this drug should sue the drug manufacturer. Hope to god effects aren't permanent and short lived. Anyone told to take this drug by their doctor should run away as fast as you can. Better to live with the fungus! If anyone knows how to get taste back please respond. | M | 48 | 30 days | 11/15/2008 | 1 | toenail and foot fungus | head ache, loss of taste, bad taste in my mouth all the time. | Depressed because of loss of taste. Cold cereal, regular cherios or special K seem to taste ok. Smell is normal. Suffered with fungus for over 40 years, kept getting worse. Tried bleach soaks which helped, but always came back. After 70 days on lamisil pills, it seems to have cured the fungus. I quit the pills because of bad taste. Now I will use lamisil cream twice a day for several weeks to make sure it don't come back. | F | 63 | 70 days | 11/15/2008 | 1 | nail fungus | Took for 5 1/2 weeks of 6 weeks treatment. At 5 1/2 weeks lost my sense of taste and ability to eat. Everything I eat has a chemical taste and is extremely intolerable. | I am going to 2 weeks now without the ability to eat normally. I'm losing weight and feel sick constantly. I feel like I have been poisoned systemically. I would never suggest taking this medicine to anyone. It took 5 1/2 weeks for this horrible side effect to happen. There was no indication on the side effects listed on the medicine sheet when given to me. Lamisil web site claims this is a "rare" side effect. Doesn't look rare to me with all of the complaints here. | F | 55 | 45 days | 11/20/2008 |
