| 1 | tonail fungus | After 30 days severe taste disorder - in the last week progressively worse - discontinued use 9.12.06. The taste is a salty metalic - everything tastes disgusting. | Recommend thoroughly understand possible side effects before taking this drug. | F | 45 | 37 days | 9/12/2006 | 4 | Severe Toenail Fungus | I have been taking Lamisil for 55 days and experienced severe taste loss for past 10 days. I have seen significant improvement in toenail health and loss of all pain. I am going to discontinue due to the taste loss. | If taste loss is temporary, the benefit of the drug outweighs the negative. I have seen nothing here that says the taste loss is permanent. | M | 49 | 55 days | 9/15/2006 | 5 | Toenail fungus (big toe) | I had frequent urination for about the first month. No other side effects. | I have tried every topical treatment from "natural" treatments to prescription topicals for the last 10 years. In just over 2 months, the nail fungus has almost completely disappeared and is being replaced by a healthy nail. The infected part of the nail became brittle after 30 days so I had to cut it back. That has actually helped my nail grow back healthier faster. Liver test was taken before starting and at 8 weeks...completely normal. | F | 35 | 67 days | 9/18/2006 | 4 | Toe and Fingernail Fungus | Every day I feel like I have a hang-over to some degree. Some days it's mild, occasionally it's overwhelming, to the point that I skip a day's treatment. I do feel awful all the time, my life has suffered because of it (bad family relatons, no exercise). But it is working- fantastically! I hope I can last another 32 days. | Results are to the point that I think I could stop now and be cured, but I am going to try to last out the last month to make sure I am cured. It is truly pure hell (I don't think I would do it again), but I am so close now, if my health is not jeopardized, I think it's worth finishing. | M | 56 | 58 days | 9/20/2006 | 1 | toe fungus | Metalic taste in mounth. Loss of appetite, lost 10 lbs. in 4 days, had to force to eat. Seizure like symptoms, loss of sleep, developed signs of liver damage (bruise in base of foot) but went away after Bikrim Yoga liver compression pose. Fatique, rapid heart rate,it almost killed me. ER dx with: "Palpitation, PSVT (rapid heart rate), Mild hyperbilibubinemia secondary to Lamisil use." Basically means mild liver damage. | Lamisil is a very dangerous medication. The problem is that there are few people that will get serious side effects but you dont know if you are any of those people. I am certainly one who should have not taken it. I would never take any meds after these unless I do research. I rather go the homiopathic way. It has taken time for me to recover. I've had loss of wages and at this point dont know if have permanent damage. | F | 41 | 4 days | 9/25/2006 | 1 | toe nail fungus | After taking 59 Lamicil tablets, I wondered if it was causing the constant, horrible salty taste in my mouth. I called my doctor and asked if that was possible, she said salty taste in mouth wasn't a side effect of Lamisil, so I told her about this website. Thank you so much for this website! It gave me information my doctor did not! I told her I was going off of Lamisil. It did affect my liver after the first month, and I suspect it caused my minor headaches and bleary vision. The good news is the terrible salty taste went away after about 1 month. I still have the toe nail fungus, and am treating it with Tea Tree Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar and Peroxide. | I would not recommend it to anyone, and wonder if doctors are paid to prescribe it! My dermatologist said there were no other antifungus medications on the market, and Lamisil was the only medication that would kill the toe nail fungus. | F | 58 | 59 days | 9/29/2006 | 5 | All toenails infected | 3rd Month so far so good | My doctor prescribed an unusual form of taking this medication. I take 1 250MG tablet a day for ten days, then nothing for 20 days and start over again for 9 months. I like this because it is easier for me to afford the 10 pills a month. But so far it is working great!! No side effects so far that I know. and my toes are clearing up and looking very healthy. I was scared to take this medication after all I read, but figured I would monitor my health very carefully while taking this. I took pictures of my toenails before and every month and man what a difference!! Good Luck! | M | 34 | 3 months | 10/5/2006 | 4 | great toe small fungus infection | it was a relief to understand why my sense of taste was gone,and I was dizzy, i was worried I had a brain tumor! It was not stated loudly on the pharmacy's list of possible side effects but a major dissatisfier as any one could imagine. The MD said to stop. thank god. It was encouraging to hear it will return, even though I'll have to wait. My toe,however,looks better. | F | 41 | 9 weeks | 10/6/2006 | 5 | Fingers, toes | Anxiety/depression; gastro-intestinal distress; light-headedness; need to sleep | The doctor prescribed one pill per day. That dosage wrecked me. I went off the medicine after a week and felt better after another 2 days. Went on again for two days, off for two days, like that. The doctor said no problem, because it's a slow-release medicine and works over time. So I thought, why not try half a pill every day. That was better, regarding side effects. Then I decided, half a pill every three days. The nails grew out clear and I don't get the side-effects. | M | 57 | 4 months | 10/7/2006 | 1 | | 10/9/2006 | 1 | toe nail fungus | hives all over body, swelling on one side of my face; developed within hours of taking one pill | F | 24 | 1 days | 10/12/2006 | 1 | Toenail fungal | All food taste awfully. Stopped eating pills after 5 weeks. Loosing taste may sound guite harmless, but it is not! Eating is not fun if all food have taste of sand or rubber. Worst are all dry and sour foords (fibre rich bread, youghurt etc.), best all unhealthy like fat and sugar. I have some taste in the top of my tongue. | M | 55 | 40 days | 10/24/2006 | 1 | "alledged toenail fungus" | After about 30 days, I experienced total taste distortion. Nothing tastes good, have lost weight and have discontinued Lamisil on the advice of my new Podiatrist. I Would not have taken Lamisil if I had known about taste distortion. I believe the company has downplayed this side effect to the detrimant of patients. I have now learned it could take over three years for my taste to return, if ever! This medication should not be on the market - it is horrible! I have never experienced anything like this, I am devastated by this experience. | In my opinion, Novartis Pharmaceuticals has not acted responsibly and not dedicated enough research to the contraindications of this medication! Apparently a majority of physicians prescribing this medication have not done their homework! I'm thinking legal action should be involved! | F | 61 | 60 days | 10/24/2006 | 5 | Toe nail fungus | loss of taste/hunger, mild back pain. | This cleared up my fungus in a month and my nails look great. I can finally go get a pedicure without being embarrassed. LAMISIL IS GREAT!!!!!! | F | 26 | 2 months | 11/7/2006 | 5 | toe fungus | I took lamisil for the prescribed three months with absolutely no side effects. It worked very well for me and my toes look good but I imagine that it will take a while for my big toe to completely grow out and look perfect.My doctor send me for a liver blood test after a month to make sure that I had no side effects from the pill and all was okay. | I wonder if the drug companies are not robbing us blind. This medication is very expensive. Don't get scared by all the negative comments on this site. Try it out and if everything is okay keep taking the pills. They worked for me. | F | 65 | 3 days | 11/8/2006 | 3 | Foot Fungus | Stomach Pain and Weight Gain | I have not been on Lasisil long enough to know whether or not it is working on the fungus; I have, however, experienced severe stomach pain. The only way to subside the pain is to fill my stomach with food, hence the weight gain. I'm not sure what I think of Lamisil yet. We'll see if I can take it for the entire 90 days. | M | 28 | 20 days | 11/9/2006 | 1 | Fungal infection of toe nails | After 4 weeks of taking this i stopped because i lost my taste completely, everthing just tasted terrible. It has now been 4 weeks since i stopped and my taste is still pretty bad it is making me feel quite depressed. Other people who have lost their taste have told me it takes between a month and 3 months to come back. Has anybody been unlucky for their taste to have never come back? I am frightened that this might happen. The only good thing i can say about this is that it seemed to be working on my fungal infection, lets hope i took enough for it not to come back. | F | 51 | 4 weeks | 11/17/2006 | 1 | toe nail fungus | I have a salty, bitter taste after taking Lamisil for 6 weeks. I have been off the medicine for three weeks and my sense of taste is no better. It is really a miserable feeling. Has anyone gotten their taste back? How long did it take? | F | 46 | 6 weeks | 11/22/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | Taste loss, bitter taste in mouth all the time, mild depression, heavy & longer menstrual cycles, some hair loss, vivid & disturbing dreams, fatigue, muscle spasms, constipation | I took lamisil for 6 weeks before losing my taste buds. I stopped taking it as soon as I figured out the cause of all my problems. It took 6 weeks to get my taste buds back. It has been 8 weeks and I still can't taste sweets & I continue to have problems with my menstrual cycle as well as constipation. The metallic taste is not as bad as it was but it is still there. This medicine is poison plain and simple. | F | 31 | 49 days | 11/23/2006 | 1 | Fungus on right big toe | Gradual taste loss over 4 weeks resulting in complete loss. Styarted with sweets tasing funny. Then metallic taste. Then by the 70th day or so, no taste at all. | Talked to doctor yesterday; she was surprised that I though Lamisil might be responsible. I had to tell HER about the literature indicating taste loss. Anyway, she agreed and I quit the medication. As of today I can taste salt, bananas, and coffee. I'm hoping the recovery won't take long. Don't take Lamisil if you don't have to. | M | 32 | 75 days | 12/6/2006 |
