| 4 | Nail fungus (toes) | Decreased ability to metabolize caffeine and alcohol. Malaise. | It seems to work so I just deal with the side effects :P | M | 29 | 2 months | 9/4/2008 | 4 | Toe nail fungus | Everything tastes bad, after 45 days, even water. I cannot taste sweet or salty. | Nails are looking better | M | 47 | 60 days | 3/10/2009 | 4 | toenail fungus | ABSOLUTELY NONE. | Was hesitant to take it (I took the generic terbinafine for 12 weeks - mucho cheaper!) because of this website but had no side affects at all. This is my last battle in long standing (at least 30 years) war against toenail fungus. I seem to see some improvement 2 weeks after my 12 week course, I'll come back in a few months and let you know if I finally won the war. Let me reiterate - NO SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL DURING THE 12 WEEK COURSE. | M | 58 | 12 weeks | 1/16/2008 | 4 | ringworms | None that I've seen, finished course 1 week ago. | Ringworms are almost all cleared up. Was not given a liver function test, doctor said it was not needed for short treatments in otherwise healthy individuals. | M | 22 | 2 weeks | 2/17/2008 | 4 | Toenail fungus | possible weird taste in mouth, maybe small rash under armpits though this is more likely due to deoderant used (I've had it before and switching deoderant cleared it) | So far, I am impressed, as I too notice some positive results after 21 days. Nails had gotten painful, and Lamisil was a last resort for me after other treatments were unsuccessful. It is obviously a drug not to be taken longer than prescribed and only after careful consideration. But for me, so far so good... I'll let you know in 69 days... | M | 43 | 21 days | 10/31/2007 | 4 | Toenail infection | None | Expensive in the United States | M | 42 | 2 months | 9/17/2007 | 4 | Toenail fungus | I have been on Lamisil for 6 weeks. The first two days, I felt somewhat nausea, by the third day it had subsided. Since then I haven not experience any other side effect as noted in the other comments. I also have been getting monthly blood work as prescribed by my MD. I have another 6 weeks to go. | M | 40 | 6 weeks | 7/3/2007 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | When I first started the drug I felt like my heart was racing along with some mild headaches. That was about it has far has side effects go. I had my liver function test every month to make sure everything was fine. I have been off the pills for a month and have noticed my new toenails growing in, however one of the toes looks like the fungus is coming back.. | M | 34 | 90 days | 6/27/2007 | 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 | 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 | 4 | Toenail fungus, ringworm | Inability to lose weight, can't tolerate much alcohol. I also sheepishly submit that my morning stool has a strong, odd, pungent smell. | Had SEVERE athlete's foot and toenail fungus for nearly 20 years. Recently contracted ringworm as well. I'm now near the end of my 90-days of Lamisil AT tablets and ringworm is GONE, athlete's foot is GONE, toenails only slightly better but I understand it takes time for them to grow healthy. We'll see. Not sure yet if it's related to the Lamisil, but I'm active and I've ALWAYS been able to drop weight easily...15 pounds in a month was always a piece of cake...but haven't been able to drop ANY weight at all since starting on Lamisil. Doctor-scheduled liver tests show no abnormalities. At this point the benefits FAR outweigh temporary side effects!!! | M | 43 | 80 days | 12/28/2005 | 4 | Athlete's Foot | Prickly Fingers & Thumbs, Tightness in lower back Muscles, itchy skin & Scalp, diminished Taste. | 30 250MG Tablets Prescribed by my Doctor for Athlete's Foot. Tried all the over the counter treatments, ie. Lotrimin, Clotrimazole & Desenex without any success, after 23 days fungus between my Toes has disappeared. | M | 71 | 23 days | 12/24/2006 | 4 | Toe Nail Fungus | At first, a slight metallic taste - then, tar-like stools, gas | The main problem I experienced was gastro-intestinal problems - constipation, tar-like stools & gas. However, the treatment worked! My nail infection was moderate - but half way thru the 90 day treatment I could see the nails clearing - and now, three months after ending treatment my nails are completely clear! I'm no longer ashamed to go barefooted & I'm being careful to prevent reinfection. Also, the stomach problems slowly cleared up within two months after ending treatment. It has been worth it. | M | 45 | 90 days | 4/6/2006 | 4 | toe nail fungus | at first there were no side effects but after taking lamisil for about 30 days I started experiencing migrating pain from my hamstring and inner thigh through my knee joints and down to my ankle. The pain was not consistent in location or intensity but as a result was unable to go on hikes or walks without considerable pain. I took the drug for 3 months beginning in June and then stopped because the Doctor believed the dosage in my system was adequate to resolve the fungus in 4 of my toenails. During the period of pain I was unable to find any type of over the counter pain reliever that would help. I sought a Chiropractor thinking the pain in my leg was from a nerve pinch. Didn't help. Now after 6 months of being off lamisil my toenail fungus is almost completely gone and my leg pain has diminished to almost nothing. | No other side effects except the leg pain. Don't know if I would do it again. Sometimes the pain was so intense I would wake up in the middle of the night. | M | 58 | 90 days | 3/4/2006 | 4 | toenail fungus | upset stomach | I used this in the past with good results. Not only did my toenails look better but my eyebrows grew back in and the hair over most of my body grew in better. People should know they need to stop eating sugar and most starch. I'm using this drug in conjunction with a new way of eating. Also I read that a better protocol is to take lamisil for four weeks then off for four weeks then back on for four. Studies show this protocol is as effective as taking it all 12 weeks! This saves your liver and may reduce some of the side effects people are having. | M | 51 | 90 days 250 mg. 1X day | 12/14/2012 | 4 | fungal toe infection | severe nose and anal bleeds but well worth it. | M | 53 | 90 days 250 mg 1X day | 8/14/2012 | 4 | extreme fungus under big toenail | I only ended up taking the medicine for two weeks because it started to make my gums (top and bottom) very, very sore. | The script worked wonderfully, I have had some form of this fungus under my big toenail for 10-15 years. I took it for two weeks and there is no sign of the fungus any more at the base of the nail where it normally grows out from. | M | 32 | 14 days 1X day | 8/26/2011 | 4 | toenail fungus | brief but intense light headedness followed by nausea, gassy, slight change in appetite, dry skin especially on arms and stomach, slight lower back pain. This is wierd but one day each week (every thursday) I have a very intense but brief light headedness followed by nausea until I can lay down. The last time this happened I skipped the pill that night and felt great until today (thursday of course). I'm skipping the pill tonight and we'll see how I feel tomorrow. | I was going to stop but the other posts here gave me the courage to keep going. I saw on one post where the person took the pill every other day. I may try something like that if my Thursday feeling bad routine holds up. I've had one follow up liver exam and all looked good. 9.5 weeks to go! | M | 32 | 15 days 250 1X day | 3/29/2012 | 4 | Bad ringworm | Definitely killing ringworm after 3 days of use. However, I think it contributed to destabilizing my knee, which is now very swollen, and I'm certain that it's causing very strong calf muscle cramps. I have not had calf cramps in 10 years and take magnesium and potassium to prevent them. Otherwise, no big problems... | I'd try fluconazole and sporanox first; both of those are far more gentle. | M | 37 | 15 days 250mg 1X day | 10/23/2010 | 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 |
