| 1 | Toe nail fungus | Horrible constipation like symptoms. I am 44 YO male and couldn't go for 3-4 days suddenly about 2-3 weeks into treatment. I used suppositories | M | 44 | 14 days | 6/27/2009 | 1 | Toenail fungis | I took this posion for three weeks after the end of the second week I noticed everything tasted funny. Then I started to have terrible nausa and could not eat or drink without feeling like I was going to vomit. I am loosing weight and I'm very tired my gut has an awful pain in it. If I do eat only the first bite am I able to taste a little and swallow. If I continue to try to eat I have to spit out what was chewed or I will throw up. My mouth is constantly saltly tasting and discusting. Even if I brush my teeth it still tastes awful. I can tolerate water with the juice of half a lemon if it's very cold and I drink it fast. I can barely taste fresh basil and spicy food but the stomach pain prevents me from eating. My doctor took blood from me last week to test liver enzymes I have already stoped the drug. I am very concerned about my health I have lost 10 lbs in three weeks. I would never reccomend this drug to any one loosing your sense of taste robs you of any pleasure in ea | It seem the people that have the taste distribance are at a higher risk for liver damage because of this drug. | F | 52 | 21 days | 7/4/2009 | 3 | toenail fungus | the cream made my skin EXTREMELY sensitive and Itchy. Switched to tabs which i barely get a metal taste in my mouth so far (only 3 days with the tabs) | so yeah the cream, and I used alot all over my feet and nails, made me itsch and itch like crazy. I didnt realize this could possible happen. As it turned out I went to the dr to get the RX tab so realizing the itching was from the cream (1%) that i just started to take, and the itching/sensitivity has gone away. Will let you know about the generic tabs. | M | 40 | 3 days | 7/5/2009 | 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 | 7/27/2009 | 5 | 10 fungus toenails | I have had fungus toenails for about 8 years and it was on all ten of them, I even lost my big toenail a few times and it would grow back even grosser. They were bad! | i used the Lamisil for 90 days and it was about 80% cured and now 10 months later, it is about 99.8% gone. The only complaint I have is horrible bad breatha and still 10 months later, I still have it, I just chew gum all the time. MY toes look great , thank you :) I can wear sandles for the first time in years and I feel great | F | 41 | 90 days | 8/5/2009 | 5 | Fungus on fingernails and toenails | random nosebleeds, slight loss of appetite that returned two weeks after finishing medicine | when i drank alcohol, it seemed to affect me much faster.. so keep that in mind.. alcohol and lamisil probably shouldn't be taken together anyway even with the side effects, this medicine works and is very much worth it | M | 33 | 12 weeks | 8/18/2009 | 3 | toenail fungus | After eating I would get hot and start sweating. Nausea followed by vomiting happened at least twice a week. I am just about to start my 3rd and last month. I am going to tough it out, but it really sucks feeling like this | M | 29 | 60 days | 8/20/2009 | 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 | 1 | nail fungus | I have had no sense of smell or taste for ten months now after taking lamisil for only five days and then quite taking it. | What can I do to get my tastes back? | M | 57 | 5 days | 9/5/2009 | 1 | toe fungus | dizziness severe at times-tired- unable to focus-nausea-stomach pain-severe headaches-insomnia-stiff neck-leg cramps | After one month of taking this poison I called my dermatologist-told him how miserable I was feeling-He told me to continue taking the lamisil and that there must be something else going on in my body- continued the medication -the dizzy spells and other symptoms got worse-checked with my regular doctor- He also said it's not the lamisil-He directed me to an ear specialist to check for inner ear disorders- went through all kinds of tests -results -no inner problems-checked the internet and found this site-after reading the comments I decided , after 10 weeks of misery to discontinue taking this poison- it took about 2 weeks to get this "medication" out of my system but all of the horrible symptoms have disappeared--Were the doctors right or was lamisil the cause of my problems? I know the answer and I hope you do to!! Do not take lamisil!!It ruined 3 months of my life! It is not not worth the risk of having horrible side effects-fears mentally as to what is happening to your body and an overall horrible spaced out feeling--I lived with this toe fungus for 20 years and I wish I decided to live with it for the rest of life! It was a bad decision on my part to try lamisil-DON'T make the same mistake!! | M | 66 | 10 weeks | 9/20/2009 | 4 | toenail fungus | None | Lamisil is working great on my toenail fungus, BUT I just wanted to let everyone know that if they are scared to try it, ask your doctor for Penlac solution to try first. I had fungus on 4 toes, and the Penlac completely cleared two of my nails, but I started Lamisil because there was no change whatsoever with the other two affected nails. | F | 34 | | 9/27/2009 | 1 | toe fungus | severe constipation, stomach cramps, slight headache, thirsty, sick to stomach | I will just paint my toenail. Hopefully it will fall off, and I'll grow in a healthy one. | F | 45 | 2 days | 9/27/2009 | 3 | fingernail & toenail fungus | Horrible taste in my mouth,do not want to eat anything | Using this drug for 8 weeks, showing much improvement in fingernails only.I am losing weight due to inability to stand the taste of anything(including water). I will stick out the remaining 4 weeks, but will never use this drug again,fungus or not. | M | 62 | 8 weeks | 9/30/2009 | 4 | Toe nail fungus | I took the generic Lamasil for 90 days and experienced no side effects... didn't even know there where all these negative effects. I also drank in moderation over the 90 day period with no trouble. Nails are starting to look better, but I hear it takes six months to completely clear the nails. I am glad I took a change to get rid of the fungus for good. | F | 28 | 90 days | 10/10/2009 | 3 | toenail fungus | serious taste disturbance. My mouth became severely metalic after one month; I stopped taking the drug 6-7 weeks ago and most food is STARTING to taste somewhat normal, except for sweets, which still taste bitter and metalic. AND THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING! | I have lost 15 pounds due to this taste issue and am very suprised at how it's impacted my life. I am a major "foodie" and love to cook, eat and talk food. My doctor didn't seem to be aware of this level of reaction and really doesn't know what to tell me. I've started a 'pulse' regimine of one week on/three weeks off and am just praying my very slow taste return isn't halted. And like I said, sweets are still horribly bitter and metalic. The big 'HOWEVER,' is that it really has worked on my nails, which is why I don't want to stop taking it completely. | F | 50 | 35 days | 10/22/2009 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Yes, at this moment I am experiencing the rash some other folks are talking about. They haven't itched much .....yet. Stopped taking the lamisil medication after 23 days, and if anybody has a recommendation to get rid of the rash I'd appreciate it! :) Still don't know how long it will last and WILL leave a message for my doctor describing the side effects and asking for a remedy for the rash. I would have hated to have taste-loss- that's one of the worse. [email protected] | Never use it. | M | 43 | 23 days | 10/25/2009 | 5 | Toenail fungus/cracking feet | None | I've had the nail fungus on 3 toes on each foot for about 20 years and have tried everything to get rid of it. Even the bottoms of my feet were infected and would crack and hurt when I walked. Even worse was the embarrassment to wear sandals, go swimming or walk on the beach. I finally decided to try Lamisil about 65 days ago, so only 3 weeks to go! No side effects, even though after reading all of the posts, my mind was playing tricks on me, making me believe I had various problems. After about 30 days, I noticed the bottoms of my feet were clearing up and no longer cracking! I was even experiencing skin peeling between my thumb and forefinger that drove my wife nuts, since I had a habit of peeling it off...and that completely cleared up also! So, those two problems alone has made the choice well worth it! No more soaking and scraping my feet, which only helped for a few days. As for the nails, I've noticed they are finally starting to show a little clearing on the big toe nails, nothing yet on the small ones. I'm so excited about this, I've even dreamed of them being clear! Sorry to hear about the many problems so many are facing, but I honestly feel those are very rare side effects of the medication and if you experience them, immediately stop taking it, as with any medication. As for attempting to persuade others to discontinue use of Lamisil and they could possibly benefit from a problem that has caused so much embarrassment and shame...is just not right. | M | 47 | 65 days | 11/11/2009 | 1 | toenail fungus | loss of taste at about 4 weeks. Stopped taking the drug immediately. Was miserable for a while, taste has finally returned to normal 8 weeks after stopping the drug. | M | 41 | 30 days | 11/18/2009 | 4 | Toenail fungus | Slight dizziness off and on, loss of appetite, funky taste in mouth | Side effects aren't so bad. My MD is awesome and did blood work (LFTs) prior to starting me on it. Sounds like lots of people have really bad experiences, but so far not a big deal for me. | F | 29 | 4 days | 12/5/2009 | 1 | Fungal treatment | Nose bleeds (no previous history of this), blood platelet count reducing. Fatigue and dizziness. | The side effects are comparable to WARFARIN side effects. The cream and tablets have the same side effects, only the tablet side effects kick in quicker. | M | 55 | 30 days | 12/6/2009 |
