| 1 | toenail fungus | Lost taste. Medal taste in mouth. Sick on stomach 24 hours. Losing weight | F | 66 | 2 months 250 mg | 10/23/2015 | 5 | index finger fungus | None | took pill dally had try every over counter for the last 3 years so beg a doctor for it in 60 days i had normal nails | M | 35 | 2 months one pill | 12/9/2015 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Diarrhoea, vomiting, insomnia, depression, anxiety, itching | Absolutely awful side effects for me after taking for just 6 days. Insomnia (it's 4am and I'm wide awake right now, if that tells you anything), diarrhoea and vomiting (both of which I had within the past hour), and exacerbating my pre-existing depression and anxiety, inducing a very negative generalised sense of unease and dysphoria. What's more, apparently it takes months and months to get this poison out of your system entirely, even after taking it for just a few days. If I can deter just one person out there from starting this medication, it's worth it: this drug is the stuff of nightmares and should be pulled from the market. Buyer beware, it's not worth the risk. Read all the negative reviews out there. | M | 40 | 6 days 250 | 1/21/2016 | 1 | toenail fungus | after 30 days lost all sense of taste, 5 weeks later everything still tastes like bland paste. getting depressed. | F | 61 | 30 days 30 mg 1X day | 1/22/2016 | 2 | toenail fungus | no noticeable side effects, maybe a very slight wheeze in the middle of my lungs when lying down sometimes, maybe slightly darkened urine at times. I tried to drink more water and avoided alcohol generally while taking the medication. | (I only marked "not satisfied" because a rating was required and my toenail did not respond to the treatment.) I took the generic version Terbinafine HCL 250 mg tablet, one tablet daily for one week each month (pulse method) for six months. Unfortunately there was almost no change, the fungus area is not gone. I asked doctor if I should try taking it all month rather than one week per month. He said no because if it was fungus it would have responded by now and the all month regime has a higher risk of liver damage etc. Doctor will not prescribe again, he believes it must be psoriasis of the nail since it did not respond to the Lamisil. However, I don't have any other psoriasis issues thankfully, it is only one toenail, and I am still not convinced it isn't fungus, because it seems to resemble fungal infection of the toenail in every way. I think I will probably go to a podiatrist and have that area of the toenail removed and try topical medications on the nail bed. See if I get any improvement. Good luck to everyone here. | F | 50 | 6 months 7X M | 1/27/2016 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Kidney pain on both sides. Not sure if its kidney but I have sting pain on both sides almost near back side of lower torso. | I've had toenail fungus for about 15years. The left toe nail is infected, and the right toenail and two other toes are also infected. I decided to give this medication a try. I did read the side effects of the medication, one that concerned me the most was that of kidney pain or failure. Well the first day I took the medication the sides, I'm thinking kidneys started to hurt. I kept taking them and today is the fourth day. I may have to stop taking them because of fear of permanent kidney damage. By the way, I believe my self to be a healthy guy, have been vegetarian for 5 years now. | M | 30 | 4 days 250mg 1X day | 2/9/2016 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | Have yet to have any side effects. Only rated a 3 because I haven't seen any changes yet, but it's only been 2 weeks. | Had toenail fungus since I was in high school. After 7 years, I have it on half of my toenails. My parents didn't want to put me on lamisil when I was younger because of the side effects. I was prescribed Lamisil by my doctor who EDUCATED me on the risks of Lamisil such as liver problems that is why she made me take a complete blood test to see if my liver would be able to take the trauma of this pill. I take it at 9 pm before I go to bed so I wouldn't feel any nausea if there would be any. Had one night where I couldn't swallow the pill due to the taste (HORRIBLE!) I found that it helps taking with a thicker liquid such as milk. If you're thinking about just removing your toenail, I also did it, got the nail bed scraped of all fungus, changed out all my shoes, and put on a topical anti-fungal medicine every night. still got fungus,my doctor told me that taking your nail off just traumatizes your nail bed. Luckily my nail grew back semi-ok. The problem is that fungus is systemic meaning it runs through your blood and you can take off your toenail but it'll probably grow back. There are a lot of risks with taking Lamisil but personally I'd rather not live with nail fungus for the rest of my life. My important tips would be to take it with food, DO NOT drink alcohol, and pray to the Gods haha (or buddha, allah, universe, Leonard Nimoy, etc.) In 2 more weeks I'll be going back to the lab for another blood test to see if my liver is okay to continue taking this drug. | F | 24 | 18 days 250 mg tab 1X day | 2/18/2016 | 1 | Athletic foot | Complete lack of taste with salty bitter metallic taste in mouth. All food tastes like mush or glue devoid of all flavor. This drug is poison! | F | 45 | 5 weeks 1X day | 2/21/2016 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Horrible salty taste in mouth and no to very little taste when eating food. The first two days of diminishing taste I thought something was wrong with the food. By the third day it became apparent what the problem was and I stopped taking the drug. It has been over a week with no improvement. Looks like I could have many weeks to go. | I was very hesitant to take this drug because of all the warnings. My GP assured me that none of his patients have had problems and so I decided to finally get rid of my toenail fungus. I WISH I HAD BEEN MORE HESITANT! | F | 56 | 6 weeks 250 MG 1X day | 3/19/2016 | 1 | End up in the hospital with liver failure, pancreas inflammation and now diabetes. Do not take this pill. Its not worth the risk for a stupid nail fungus. | M | 61 | 2 months | 3/19/2016 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | I was driving on the freeway at 60 miles per hour when I started feeling dizzy and lightheaded. It's been three days now that I can't drive. Every time, the same thing is happening. There should seriously be a warning on the bottle about driving! Have not taken the medication for two days but it is still happening. This drug is NOT worth risking your life. Sending a complaint to the FDA! | F | 45 | 7 days 250 mg | 3/20/2016 | 5 | Tonail fungus | No side effects, i even got very drunk more than a few times while taking it and nothing has gone wrong. I have gone through the treatment three times now and it takes around a month to see some progress. It keeps coming back because i have never taken it for more than 2 months but i can clearly see how the new nail is coming out clean an good | 32 | 20 days 1X day | 4/13/2016 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | Loss of sweet taste and alteration of other tastes. | After 60 days I realized nothing tasted right and I couldn't taste any sweets. It's been 5 weeks since the onset of these symptoms. I've lost weight and pretty depressed this has happened to me. No one told me this was a risk. I'm afraid my taste may not come back or not return 100 percent. | M | 60 | 60 days 250 1X day | 5/29/2016 | 1 | toenail fungus | After two months of taking this medication, I went to the dentist to discover I had a cavity. I immediately stopped taking Terbinafine. I also gained 20 lb in the 6 months that followed, while eating the same foods and with the same level of activity. I also got pretty bloated. It has now been 15 months since I stopped taking it, I am still 20 lb overweight and bloated. | While trying to fix a cosmetic problem that no one sees, I got visibly fat and bloated and put a hole in my tooth. Not worth it. | F | 30 | 8 weeks 1x day | 6/1/2016 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | I took lamisil for toe nail fungus one month. Don't know yet if it will work. On the last day of taking pill I developed severe diaherra. After 8 days, I went to see my doctor. She gave me stool and blood tests which turned out normal. She sent me to a GI doctor. GI doctore said my diaherra was inflamed from Lamisil. He called it drug induced microscopic colitis from Lamisil. Doctor put me on 2 weeks of Pepobismal. I'm hoping it will work. I wish I never took this drug, it's made me miserable. | F | 57 | 1 months 250mg | 6/8/2016 | 1 | Fungal infection | Sudden Loss of taste. Foul taste constantly in my mouth. Slimy feeling in my mouth like it was rubbed with shortening. Cannot taste sweets at all, some things I can taste on first bite, but after that it might as well be cardboard. | My doctor nor pharmacist thought loss of taste was a side of defect. I had to find it on line and I believe there is more than 3% of people who suffer, and I mean SUFFER from this side effect. I really don't care that is is temporary. No drug should be on the market that can do this. This is debilitating, depressing and alters your whole life. I cry when a I get to the grocery store. I have to ask My husband what he wants to eat as nothing sounds good. I can't remember how things taste. People laugh it off and say, wow, that's a great diet to be on. So I don't tell people. I want to taste things again!! | F | 54 | 45 days 250 1X day | 7/2/2016 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Started off as feelings of gastric reflux/indigestion for a few hours after taking it. After a few days turned into nausea that seemed to last longer after each time I took it. After 7 days the nausea was constant and increasing, my head felt fuzzy, difficulty concentrating and some mild upper abdominal pain. At day 9 I had severe nausea and felt as though I was being poisoned so stopped taking it. Initially after stopping I experienced gradual recovery but at about 48 hours after stopping I experienced the most severe nausea and now 72 hours I'm starting to feel a bit better. I tool the tablet in the evening after dinner so getting to sleep was difficult. | Obviously it affects different people differently. I was very reluctant to try it because of the reported side effects so as soon as the started to really kick in I just had to stop as it just didn't feel worth compromising my very good health. I've tried almost everything and my last try will be canesten nail set and if that doesn't work I will take my doctors recommendation and go back to camouflaging it with nail polish (sorry guys) | F | 47 | 8 days 250 1X day | 7/29/2016 | 2 | toenail fungus | The first few days I had a slightly upset stomach. Then began noticing I had episodes of dizziness and nausea. Today I got so dizzy and nauseated that I vomited and had to leave work early. I thought I might not make it home safely. Am stopping this med and notifying my podiatrist. | F | 68 | 8 days | 8/11/2016 | 1 | toenail fungus | loss of taste, nausea, severe headache | I stopped taking this medication one week ago. I had been struggling with the nausea and headaches, but everything online indicated that it would resolve, but then suddenly lost sense of taste. At first I thought something was wrong with the food. Prior posts are completely accurate; persistent salty taste, even plain water. Oatmeal is okay, but can detect nothing sweet. Chocolate is the worst. I even tried spicy food, but most things I can sort of taste for one bite and then nothing. Everything tastes like paste. I am so disappointed because I was not warned by my physician or the pharmacist. This is so devastating, and I can only hope my sense of taste returns. | F | 55 | 45 days 250 1X day | 8/14/2016 | 1 | Nail fungus | Over 15 bald patches all over my body 6 months after treatment no improvement. | M | 23 | 4 months | 8/18/2016 |
