| 5 | toenail monstrosity (fungus) | I'm on day 25 and I'm happy to see that some people have had the same side effects I'm having. My lower back hurts when I sit for long periods, but not otherwise. I have small round rashes in my groin area and in my forearms. My toenail is already looking better, with a clear, fungus free area at the base of the nail. My advise to everyone is: 1)continue to take the medicine if you want your fungus to disappear 2)suck that s#!* up and deal with the MINOR side effects 3)remember why you got on the medication in the first place, if you forget, look at your toe 4)if you end up with positive results, come back to the website and write about it in order to balance out all this negativity | M | 33 | 25 days 250 mg 1X day | 4/8/2010 | 3 | suspected toenail fungus | Have lost sense of taste, still not returned. Fungus cleared up in fingernails and was replaced by a severe attack of psoriasis which I did not know I had till I took the lamisil. Now I am being considered for some really scary immune system lowering drugs that can severly damage your liver, rasie your risk of getting cancer or whacking out your triglyeride levels and raise your chance of heart attack. I wish I had never taken this drug, it has caused me a world of misery and the fungus is coming back because I had to discontinue the drug after 60 days. It has cost me more in medical bills and now the psoriasis is making my life miserable. | F | 52 | 60 days 30 mg 1X day | 4/9/2010 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | Loss of taste. Sweets/chocolate taste the worst. Stopped meds at 6 weeks of 12 week dose. 3 weeks later taste is still gone. Menstrual cycle irregular as well. Toe nail has come off and now I am using topical meds. | F | 44 | 6 weeks 250 1X day | 4/13/2010 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Nothing except frequent nose bleeds. | M | 62 | 21 days 1X day | 4/22/2010 | 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 | 3 | Toe, foot & fingernail fungus | I've had foot and toenail fungus for 11 years,and finger and index nail fungus for 2 years. I'll start by saying that I'm very prone to common and unusual side effects. The first day I had no symptoms. The second, I experienced slight nausia and anxiety, but I also had a VERY stressful experience with a different matter. I also had strange nightmares, bad enough for my fiance to wake in the night and shake me from it. I also experienced a bit of appetite loss. Since then I've noticed progressing gland soreness in the back of my neck and slight pains at the base of my skull, extreme thirst, slightly frequent urination, slight headache, and a bit of bad gas. I'm almost wondering if mixing with large amounts of coffee is a bad idea. These are very minor side effects, even tolerable...so far. I'd like to say that my mother is a nutritional therapist and if anyone would detest my taking Terbinafine it would be her, very loud and clear. But instead, she only demanded that I take a daily supp | Keep in mind that different people with different lifestyles will have different side effects. Don't get scared or discouraged, just keep an eye out for serious continuous side effects and keep talking to your doctor. | F | 23 | 4 days 250MG 1X day | 5/12/2010 | 4 | toenail fungus | I am 21 years old and I have been taking Lamasil for 30 days now (I am on a 12-week schedule). So far, I have experienced no symptoms at all other than it has decreased the effectiveness of my birth control, resulting in bleeding between my periods. I had a blood test at the start of my treatment and go in for another one at 6 weeks. I haven't noticed much of the effects of the drugs on my toenails as the fungus was just on the very top of one toenail and the bottom was already growing in fine. | F | 21 | 30 days 250 mg 1X day | 5/31/2010 | 4 | fungal infections in the toes | I experienced no side effects | Lamisil interacts with certain medications and causes certain side effects, those medications are Rifampin, Terfenadine, Cimetidine and few others which you can find in detail at International Drug Mart | F | 40 | 30 days 10gm cream 2X day | 6/8/2010 | 1 | toenail fungus | taste disorder | I am having the problem with taste that is frequently described in this website. It is reassuring to hear from others. It seems like it will hang on for awhile but will eventually subside. I was ok with it the first 2 days but then it starts to drive you crazy. It surprises me how much the taste issue gets to me. I'm not bothered by much. | F | 45 | 6 weeks 1X day | 6/9/2010 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | This Drug is EVIL!!! Do not take no matter how bad your fungus is! It has totally disrupted my life for over 3 months now! Initial side effects included: Loss of Taste - - Weight Loss - - Severe Allergic Reaction - - Hives - - Severe pain under ribcage - - Swelling and Pain in All Joints - - CONSTANT VERTIGO for 10 weeks even after discontinuing use. Immunologist diagnosed me with as having an AUTO-IMMUNE-RESPONSE caused by Lamisil. My symptoms were so bad she diagnosed me with DRUG-INDUCED-LUPUS. Even after Lupus symptoms subsided the constant Vertigo continued. Ear Specialist verified that severe allergic reaction caused by Lamisil is responsible for an enormous amount of fluid in my inner ear which triggered the vertigo. Unfortunately, I used a TransDerm Scopolamine patch for 8 weeks, which prolonged my vertigo (see my feedback on this horrible drug, also made by Novartis, under scopolamine). My initial side effects started within the first week of taking Lamisil. The sev | If this can keep one person from starting to take Lamisil, it will be worth my time! There are other options to clearing up a fungus! I am thankful that my side effects / conditions were short-term and am so sorry for others that are suffering long-term effects. Please report your adverse reactions to the company. They are required to report each and every incident to the FDA. | F | 44 | 32 days 250 mg 1X day | 6/16/2010 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | Loss of taste, Constipation | I love to eat, so the loss of taste has been VERY traumatic for me (happened at the 4 week point), but I've gotten used to it, and tolerated it with the understanding my taste would return once I finished the medicine...I just didn't realize how long it would take (until I read all these posts)!!! I only finished the prescription 4 days ago, so it looks like I have a while to go (Rats!! My birthday is next week!). To put a positive spin on all this, losing my taste has been the single best weight loss tool I have EVER encountered. I've lost 15 pounds (believe me, I needed to) and have taken this as an opportunity to get fit and control my usually out-of-control eating habits (everyone is right, nothing tastes good right now!) Was it all worthwhile? Yes, if my taste comes back and my fungus does not. | F | 42 | 12 weeks 250mg 1X day | 6/23/2010 | 2 | toe nail fungus | Slight constipation and itching for the first 60 days. Took 3 days off after consulting with doctor. Itching subsided somewhat so starting taking again for a week. Itching on back and chest returned worse, along with lower back pain which I suspect is related to the pill since it is right where red tender skin patches are. | It appears to be clearing up the fungus but I'm stopping because I think my body is giving me enough of a warning. | M | 50 | 70 days 250 1X day | 6/23/2010 | 5 | toenail fungus | None that I attributed to the medication. If there were any, they did not last long. | I had taken Lamisil about 20 years ago and it cleared up my fungus. I decided to try it again because it was successful before. | M | 50 | 90 days 250 1X day | 6/29/2010 | 1 | toenail fungus | Loss of tatse, especially sweets and salty foods. Tounge feels like it was burned. Pain in groind area. | It seems as though thiese side affects are more common than advertised. | M | 43 | 90 days 250mg 1X day | 7/13/2010 | 1 | Nail Fungus | Loss of taste with constant metallic taste. Eating anything with sugar is unpleasant. Bread tastes like cardboard. | Too dangerous to take, loss of taste may be caused by liver damage. My dermatologist said to stop taking for a week but I am not going to take it again. I am going to see another doctor for liver testing. | F | 52 | 21 days 250mg 1X day | 7/18/2010 | 1 | Athletes Foot and Toenail Fungus | Anxiety, upset stomach, diarrhea | I did research before taking this pill and after the rash on my toe (skin around nail) was not getting better, I decided to suck it up and just go for it. After terrible side effects of major upset stomach and diarrhea (which leads to dehydration), I stopped taking the pill. Now, 6 days after stopping pill, am still feeling diarrhea and an upset stomach. Hope it goes away. | M | 34 | 6 days 1X day | 7/21/2010 | 1 | toe fungus | loss of normal taste, constant salty taste, increased saliva, sweets taste awful and so does water. I do not want to eat anything. | I would not recommend Lamisil to anyone! At 5 weeks, I began having altered taste and stopped the medication. After reading all the comments, I hope I can regain my taste. I will post again if I ever do!!! If you know what's good for you, you will NOT TAKE THIS HORRIBLE MEDICINE!!!!! IT SHOULD BE BANNED FROM THE MARKET! | F | 55 | 37 days 250 mg 1X day | 7/26/2010 | 4 | toenail fungus | Upset otomach occasionaly, not sure it was caused by the medicine. I have decided to use the medication a little differently just did to the potential side effects. Upon starting I too for a full 2 wees now decided to use one week per month for the next year...nail looks to be improving but it will be a long road for the next 10 months...feel much better | F | 50 | 3 weeks 250 1X day | 8/5/2010 | 1 | toe nail fungi | I took lamisil for 18 days and on the 19th day lost my taste. Food tasted bitter and my mouth was salty and dry all the time.I immediately stopped taking it. My podiatrist and GP told me it should take a few weeks for my taste to come back. I couldn't believe how much the loss of taste affected my life. I was truly depressed (which I have never been before). I found that vegetables (cherry tomatoes, carrots, cukes) tasted OK and skim milk was somewhat normal. I went for a physical and my liver tests were fine. I vowed that if my taste came back I would write so that someone else going through this would have hope. Well, its just a little past three months since I stopped taking lamisil and my taste is coming back. Sweets still don't taste normal but I can enjoy most foods. I find that mixtures aren't great but pure foods are tasting pretty normal. During the first three months the improvement was so small I honestly thought that I was one of those people who would never get ta | Since nail fungi is only a cosmetic problem I would never advise anyone to take it unless they are a foot model. Nail polish, closed toe sandals (fisherman) can be used without the risk. | F | 68 | 18 days 30mg 1X day | 8/7/2010 | 5 | toenail | I'm loving it so far. The opposite of others side-effects, more energy - bordering on twitchy, hyper, rushy, insomnia, more confidence, happier. Slight shortness of breath, dry mouth - reminds me of raving in the 1990's. | Was really worried about taking it, now I'm not sure if I want to stop. Tho feeling slightly crazy as am I the only 1 it has this effect on? | F | 37 | 14 days 250mg 1X day | 8/15/2010 |
