| 4 | Toe Nail Fungus | ANXIETY, INSOMNIA, TIGHTNESS IN BACK OF NECK, THIRST, FREQUENT URINIATION. | I have an 80 day dose to take. The pain in my toe from the fungal infection, which was unbearable, is now gone. The toe is normal again. Matter of fact, the bottom of my feet are now smooth again which used to be rough, cracking and peeling. Granted I hate the dizzyness, vertigo, and the pain in the back of my neck, especially the anxiety attacks, I keep remembering the pain I was in before and these side effects don't compare (yet). I'm hoping the neck tightness, headaches, and such go away once my treatment is done. But I'm pleased with the result of the fungus no longer being an issue. | M | 33 | 80 days 250 MG 1X day | 11/30/2010 | 3 | Toe naill fungus | Headaches every day; insomnia. | I have not had any improvement in my big toe after 6 weeks on the drug. Headaches every day and difficulty sleeping. If this doesn't improve soon, I will stop the medicine. | F | 54 | 45 days 500 1X day | 12/14/2010 | 4 | Fungus under 2 toenails | Partial loss of taste. | I took Lamisil for 60 days about 8 years ago for toenail fungus and it cured me with NO side effects. The fungus recently returned and after 21 days on Lamisil I've lost about 50% of my sense of taste. No noticable change in the fungus yet....it takes a while. I'll try to hang in there for another month of the Lamisil. | M | 61 | 30 days 250 MG 1X day | 12/23/2010 | 5 | toenail fungus | Not good with alcohol at all, so best to stay away or risk feeling bad the next day. otherwise maybe a little difference in taste but not much at all | Had fungus for 20 years, just finishing my 90 days, significant clearing up of fungus so far, cant wait for nail to grow all the way out. I had my reservations about this medicine like most people but my liver tests were all normal and it did help alot. | M | 37 | 90 days 250mg 1X day | 1/6/2011 | 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 | 5 | Toenail fungus | I did not experience any side effects. My nail fungus pretty much completely cleared up, however I had lost almost the whole nail and noticed after it was half grown back in that when I stoppped taking the medicine it was starting to form at the top of the nail again. I just got another 90 days. The doctor said once it has all grown out and I have cut the remaining affected nail off it should not spread anymore. I am pleased | My co-worker also had a nail fungus and she said at the 2 month mark everything was extremely salty. She was not as happy with it as I was. | F | 28 | 90 days 250 MG 1X day | 2/7/2011 | 5 | severe toenail fungus 10 years plus | No after-effects whatsoever. As previously advised, could not drink any alcohol during course of Lamisil. | Just checking in nearly five years along - absolutely no return of the fungus infection in all this time, and I took no extra steps - able to wear synthetic socks, tight closed shoes, nothing brings the fungus back. So happy wearing open toe shoes! I had resisted the idea of using Lamisil for years because of the scare stories. Absolutely no ill effects whatsoever from this drug. Very, very happy with it. TOPICAL APPLICATIONS SUCH AS LOCERYL DO NOT WORK! On fungus infections. Don't waste your money on them! | F | 53 | 90 days 1X day | 2/8/2011 | 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 | toenail fungus | Metallic taste in mouth after a couple of days. | I stopped taking this pill after a couple of days. But, I realized that this seems to be the best pill on the market for toenail fungus. My doctor was going to put me on something different. After comparing the two meds on the internet I realized that Lamisil is the best one to cure the problem. So I figured I would try it again, but not let the pill touch my tongue. So far it is working, try put some liquid in your mouth and then put the pill in your mouth with more liquid. Swallow it fast. This is preventing that metallic taste I had the first time around. My nail is already growing in looking good! I will report back in another month. | F | 45 | 20 days 250 1X day | 2/13/2011 | 2 | toenail fungus | After taking the medicine for 11 days I began to experience severe itchiness and hives beginning on my back, then spreading to all other areas of my body. It comes and goes, and reappears on different areas of my body throughout the day and night, and is there more than it is gone. I also experienced swelling in my feet on day 15 that went away after being off the medicine for 2 days. | I stopped taking the medicine after day 14, per the advice of my physician; however, the hives still come and go just the same even though i've been off the medicine now for 5 days. I was told it may take a while for the effects to wear off as the medicine is metabolized in the liver and has to completely clear out before the effects are gone. I have been taking benadryl and this seems to help, but very VERY little. | F | 30 | 14 days 250 mg 1X day | 2/22/2011 | 5 | fungal infection on my back | Nausea | Took it about 4 years ago and it totally eliminated fungal skin infection I had almost all over my torso (it was not practical to rub a cream all over my body when I could take one tablet instead) | F | 25 | 60 days 250mg 1X day | 3/19/2011 | 5 | For nail and foot fungus | I have not experienced any side effects and I believe the way I have been avoiding this is by taking it at night. I'd read many reviews where people experienced hives, headaches, loss of taste and nausea. i must say after taking this for 30 days I have not experienced any of those problems. My feet have completely changed and i no longer has cracked or thick skin on my feet. I advise anyone who is taking it to take it at night rather than during the day. I have nothing but great things to say about taking this. | F | 26 | 90 days 250 mg 1X day | 4/4/2011 | 1 | Fungal infection in one toe | Extreme Itching and kidney problems. Worst though, is that it drastically reduced my white blood cell (WBC) count. My count has not returned within the WBC Reference Range of (4.8-10.8 K/uL) since taking Lamisil. Totally mad at my doctor for not telling me about the side effects. | Avoid this drug at ALL cost. Your immune system isn't worth the risk. You toe will be just fine - simply file it down. | M | 37 | 14 days 250 MG 1X day | 4/4/2011 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Loss of taste/ severe taste disturbances | As many here are suffering from taste loss due to Lamisil, I wanted to let you know that I had the same issue and stopped taking the drug after 6 weeks (was supposed to take it for 12). Despite me usually being suspicious when it comes to natural remedies, I was so desperate after 10 days of no taste/salt taste in my mouth that I tried Milk Thistle - and 3 days after starting to take it, my sense of taste has improved significantly. Might be a coincidence, but as Milk Thistle is not harmful you might want to try it. | F | 31 | 6 weeks 250mg 1X day | 5/13/2011 | 2 | Foot fungus | THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE CREAM - LAMISIL AT After about a week, I started feeling very lightheaded and nauseated; it came in waves. This was followed by fatigue and a flu-like feeling. Caused bloating, gas, and weight gain of 400gm. | I never thought the cream could cause such side-effects. Until I realised what was causing these symptoms, I was scared out of my wits. Obviously there is a big range of sensitivity to this and the tablets, but there are other anti-fungal treatments out there, and this cream wasn't even all that effective after 3 weeks. | F | 40 | 21 days 2X day | 5/30/2011 | 2 | Toe Nail Fungus | It has been 14 days and still am experiencing a dramatic loss of taste. I exist on ensure, cranberry, orange juice and water. I have lost 10 pounds and am very depressed. I have been taking milk thistle and probiotics as well as a daily vitamin. Can someone please tell me how long the loss of taste might last? PLEASE I'M SO DESPERATE FOR HOPEFUL NEWS! | F | 52 | 35 days 250MG 1X day | 7/5/2011 Patient History | 3 | toenail fungus | stomach cramps, flu like symptoms, metallic odor | This drug has made me smell like metal. After wearing, my clothes smell like metal. My daughter even noticed it, saying I smelled like copper. So strange...I feel very toxic. | F | 40 | 90 days 250 mg 1X day | 7/7/2011 | 5 | Fungal infection in groin | No noticeable side effects | I have been suffering for a year on and off with a stubborn fungal infection in my groin area including genitals. I have had weeks off work, have been in considerable discomfort, seen countless doctors and even a dermatologist who could not provide me with any lasting relief. That is until one doctor prescribed Terbinafine. I have completed 2 weeks of the course with another 2 weeks to go and the infection has cleared completely. My Doctor has put the drug on a repeat prescription for me in case the infection returns but at the moment I am very happy with the results | M | 48 | 14 days 250mg 1X day | 7/16/2011 | 5 | Toe Fungus | None, until now. I am getting a salty taste in my mouth. | It seems to be helping,however, I'm keeping it trimmed, and was doing the alcohol and peroxide cleaning every night. I also bought the lamisil cream and powder for added benefit. | F | 47 | 80 days 250 MG 1X day | 7/19/2011 | 3 | toenail fungus | I, too, had itching on my back, and a metalic taste which became constant. My tongue appeared rubbed raw at the back, and looked prickly. Online research found so many cases of tongue/taste problems from this medicine! For me, it took awhile to put together that the Lamisil was causing the problem, because I had recently had middle ear surgery and I thought all the taste issues were stemming from that. | I stopped taking the Lamisil! I am washing my tongue with soap once a day, rinsing with water. It has helped relieve the discomfort. Will see my doctor tomorrow. From what I read, it could be 4 more months before normal taste returns. My nails are clear now, but the medicine is clearly poison. Note: per an article found, once the new nail is coming in clean, it is not necessary to continue the medicine! | F | 62 | 4 months 250 MG 1X day | 7/19/2011 |
