| 1 | nail fungus | loss of tatse | After 3 1/2 weeks of Lamisil, I lost my taste. Everything tastes like clay. I have a constant salty taste in my mouth. I have been able to eat scrambled eggs, italian wedding soup and plain crockpot chicken. I have been drinking Ensure for lunch as to not lose more weight(already lost 4lbs). I have been off Lamisil for a week and still no change. If I had known about this side effect, I would have never taken the drug. I hope that I can taste my toothpaste in the morning. I don't know how many more weeks I can live like this. | F | 31 | 24 days | 4/26/2006 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Stomach cramps, diarrhea/flatus, very low energy, headaches, dizziness, altered taste perception, poor concentration, very sluggish in the AM | So glad I'm not the only one with these symptoms. Thought there was something wrong with me. My symptoms began at 6 weeks in the order listed and increased in severity. I am now on week 9 and will discontinue my treatment. I wish I would have visited this site before starting this med. | F | 36 | 9 weeks | 4/26/2006 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Always tired. | I began taking these pills and after 5 days, I couldn't stay awake at all. I did some research on the net and found some natural solutions. I file my the top of my nails at least once a week until I get to the fungus. Each day I soak my feet in Hydrogen Peroxide. After that, i soak my feet once more in Apple Cider Vinegar, dry them and topically apply Oil of Oregano in the morning and once again in the afternoon. To avoid the side effects, I ground up the Lamisil pills and mixed them with a little water and applied this topically at night. Hey, I'm no doctor, but this is working for me. It seems as if the fungus is just disappearing. Not even growing out in the form of a new nail, just disappearing. I think that it's mostly the natural remedies that are curing me and it may even be a waste of the pills to grind them up, but I didn't want to throw them away. Talk to the doctor before you do this, but for me the natural way works the best, and there are zero side effects. Good | M | 26 | 30 days | 4/30/2006 | 3 | nail and foot fungus | i had only one side effect--INSOMNIA. This drug made mefeel like I was on speed. Tons of energy, couldnt sleep. I had to reduce. First I cut tablet in half, then fourths, finally eighths. If i take more than i/8 of a tablet I cannot sleep 8 hours. I have read all postings and do not see one single other person affected in this way. But i tested, on and off and there is no doubt--lamisil works like speed for me. BTW, yes, my taste also reduced, but mildly. However I am now on 1/8th. I wonder if it can cure fungus at this low dose or if I should just forget it? | took off and on for about 3-4 months | F | 42 | 3 months | 5/6/2006 | 5 | Nail Fungus | I really didn't experience any major side effects. | Lamisil worked great for me. I took it for 90 days and after completing the medicine I started to see results. I had fungus on 7 of my 10 toes and all but my 2 big toes have completely grown back healthy. The 2 big toes are almost there. I recommend this for anyone who has nail fungus and no serious illnesses. I understand people are experiencing problems and side effects but everyone is different and it works differently with each person. Dont bad the drug just because it doesnt work for you. | F | 31 | 90 days | 5/17/2006 | 3 | toenail fungus | frequent stomach ache; headaches; eye irritation | No warnings from doctor. Nurse advised that occasional, light drinking is OK. ? | F | 37 | 30 days | 5/18/2006 | 2 | loss of taste...like all the others...food tastes like cardboard. | So far I am dealing well with the lack of taste. Decided to use this time to eat healthy...and exercise a lot. I didn't realize how much my day used to revolve around my taste buds!!Only scary thing is if the taste never returns. Does anyone know when it comes back? | F | 49 | 55 days | 5/18/2006 | 2 | toenail fungus | loss of taste...like all the others...food tastes like cardboard. | So far I am dealing well with the lack of taste. Decided to use this time to eat healthy...and exercise a lot. I didn't realize how much my day used to revolve around my taste buds!!Only scary thing is if the taste never returns. Does anyone know when it comes back? | F | 49 | 55 days | 5/18/2006 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Complete sudden loss of taste. Everything tastes extremely bitter, my own saliva tastes bitter. Water tastes like soap. I stopped taking the Lamisil immediately it happened. After 8 days I am still completely unable to eat anything at all and it is very difficult even to drink water which tastes revolting. I manage to force down enough water to survive but am feeling very weak, ill, cold and tired and am unable to go to work. Drinking a glass of water makes me weep. I hope I will be able to eat and drink soon because otherwise I will just be a skeleton. If I had been warned of this side effect I would have never taken the medication - it is much worse that the condition for which I was taking the pills. | This is a dangerous drug | F | 58 | 42 days | 5/21/2006 | 1 | toe fungus | complete loss of taste after about 40 days. | this is a perfect example of marketing overiding clinical appropriateness. this is a terrible drug. | F | 51 | 40 days | 5/23/2006 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | NONE | I'm at day 91 of 120 day treatment. I'm treating my two big toes and they are now about 1/4 clear from the base. I'm not sure why my doctor prescribed 120 days as opposed to 90 but it is working. | M | 44 | 91 days | 5/26/2006 | 5 | 4 of my Toenails have fungus | After about 2 months into treatment my nails are actually looking great! LOVE THAT BUT....brown unine concerned me, we tested my liver (recomended every month) and test were said to have normal liver function. THEN it all started, loss of taste, thought it was my allergies with sinus infection...till I then couldn't loose weight and started gaining! I have gained about 10 lbs...weird because nothing tastes good. This morning I have verrrry swollen hands and feet..(hard time typing) I am stopping the meds...no toenail is worth this! Will start with natural remedys soon! Off to cleanse my body of this toxin! Good luck everyone! Jen | READ READ READ...I had NO idea....AND my insurance paid MORE for this and than they did pay for allergy meds...makes ya wonder.... | F | 39 | 2.5 months | 5/29/2006 | 1 | nail fungus | was instructed to take 7 days at a time for 4 months because people who take for 90 days in a row seem to have problems. took 1st month dose and after 17 days have no taste. waiting for taste to come back, will not continue with this expensive treatment. | F | 47 | 7 days | 6/1/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | Complete sudden loss of taste after 34 days on the medication. Can't taste anything but bitter and metal. Stopped taking 27 days ago and taste has still not returned. | F | 40 | 34 days | 6/2/2006 | 3 | nail fungus | After 30days of this med, I started having a itchy rash all over my body. Very uncomfortable. | Hope this is all the side effects I get. I've have yet to lose any taste. Stopping this med and calling my doctor. | M | 40 | 34 days | 6/9/2006 | 1 | fingernail & toenail fungus | Anxiety, depression, insommnia, blurred vision, rash that required cortisone, severe itching on arms, legs, scalp, palms, prickly feeling, loose stool, strange feeling in mouth like it is swollen, headache, runny nose. | Rushed to dermatologist last week with angry, red, itchy rash on back, forearms and forelegs. Took Lamisil patient Prescription Information and asked if I could be having a reaction. She assured me I was not having a reaction that I had what appeared to be insect bites and gave me 1% cortisone creme. She did not inform me of possible side effects and gave me a prescription for Allegra to take during the day and Benadril at night. I went to Novartis web site and didn't read any of these side effects. In searching the internet for anything on Lamisil I found this site. This is a horrible period to experience and I am not sure whether I can indure to complete the 90 day treatment or not. I am about 45 days into treatment. Now I wonder if I will ever be back to normal? It took three biopsy's before one came back Fungus. Prior to that no one knew what was causing trouble with nails. Now I wonder if the third biopsy was correct. | F | 72 | 6 weeks | 6/9/2006 | 2 | Toe Nail Fungus | Loss of taste, blurred vision, slight bloating. I have stopped taking this after my 3 month prescription was nearly through. I am still waiting for my full taste capability to return to normal. Very difficult drug for the body to handle. The claim of a 2.8% rate of taste loss appears bogus and should be investigated by the FDA immediately. | I am apparently cured, but my advice would be; A. Find an alternative method of treating the fungus including applying Vicks Vapo Rub or Menthol based medicine to the nails early when you first notice a possible fungus; B. Monitor liver functions closely if you do decide to take this drug. C. Again, if you decide to take this drug and are even a moderate drinker; stop intake of any alcoholic beverages for the length of the prescription+. Taking this drug is a heck of a price to pay physically and financially for the ability to wear sandles without imbarrasment. | M | 43 | 85 days | 6/11/2006 | 2 | Ringworm | Slowly helped original spots, but, didn't stop new ones from coming. I now have over 130 spots and have been using lamisil cream for 38 days now. (I shower twice a day and put the cream on after showering. My bed laundry is also changed daily)********************************** My new approach will be to go the herbal route. I'll be taking glyconutritionals. Using fresh garlic in my meals. Adding a good acidopholis, extra vitamin C and, some MSM for inflammation. I'll also take some milk thistle to mitigate any damage/if any to liver from my 2 days on the tablets. The herbal route can't be any worse. I'll still use a topical. Half my body will get clotrimizole and the other half will get tea tree oil. Might as well see which is more effective. | Lamisil AT is the topical cream, yet everyone here seems to be talking about Lamisil 250mg tablets instead of the cream. (this page is for Lamisil AT cream) I did 2 days of the tablets and stopped out of fear of the side effects. Only 2 days and my healthy areas of skin started itching like crazy today, just before it was time to take my 3rd tablet. The severe itching makes me fear continuation of the tablets. I'm stopping them. ********************************** Anyone interested in seeing how my new method works is free to contact me next month. Just put "Lamisil vs herbal" in the subject line so it doesn't get deleted as spam. Today is 6.12.06. Good luck everyone. | F | 42 | 38 days | 6/12/2006 | 1 | Nail fungus | My wife has been taking this medication for about three and a half weeks. Everything was fine for the first couple of weeks and then those nasty side effects started to occur. She started experiencing anxiety, depression, nausea, diarrhea, bloating, no appetite, and loss of taste. | Really talk with your doctor about this medication. My wife has stopped taking this medication and I don't care if she has foot fungus, because her life is more important. | F | 36 | 35 days | 6/12/2006 | 3 | | 6/22/2006 |
