| 1 | Fingernail Fungus | Loss of taste. Dry mouth. Constipation. Most importantly... Lack of sex drive. | I've been done with the medicine for 2 weeks and I'm still having all the same side effects. None of them existed before I started taking this medicine. They all started within 1 to 2 weeks of starting Lamisil. I would not suggest to anyone to take this. Stay far away from this stuff. It worked on my nail fungus, but the rewards do not outweigh the problems. | M | 34 | 30 days 250 mg 1X day | 1/12/2013 | 1 | Toenail Fungas | Taste Loss | Horrible experience with this drug. Dr. told me the only side effect to worry about was liver damage. Had me take a blood test for liver function before use, was all clear. Had a follow up test about 6 weeks into treatment, all clear. Sudden lost of taste around 50 days which I though was because of a cold or sinus infection. Stopped the drug as soon as I figured it out. It is miserable not being able to tast anything. I am hoping it returns soon. I have read many comments and it seems that it should be back but could take weeks or even months. I called the Dr. and he said he was unaware of this side effect and to stop taking the drug. (duh!) He said I should call the pharma company and talk with them. They told me this was a side effect and tastse should gradually return sometime between 3 - 4 weeks and 3 - 4 months! | M | 42 | 55 days 250 MG 1X day | 10/1/2012 | 1 | toenail fungus | It has been almost 10 weeks since my tastebuds disappeared and I can now report that thankfully, things are getting back to normal. I still have a slightly metallic aftertaste with sweet foods and most liquids, but I can enjoy eating and drinking once more. Hopefully in a couple of weeks my sense of taste will be 100%. | M | 64 | 250mg 1X day | 2/5/2012 Patient History | 1 | toenail fungus | after 50 days i noticed that certain foods were not tasting like they should. i didn't connect the lamisil to the taste loss. at 60 days i made the connection and stopped taking it. it's been 18 days since i stopped and still can't taste certain foods. I have no sense of sweet items which is killing me. some foods actually taste HORRIBLE such as breads and starches. I am very unhappy that I even asked my family doctor about my toe. i should have gone to a podiatrist. | M | 62 | 60 days 50MG 1X day | 12/9/2011 | 1 | Toenail Fungus/Discoloration on Toe | Sudden and Complete Loss of Taste- Thought I was going crazy, I suddenly couldn't taste anything or to describe it another way everything I put in my mouth tasted like raw bread dough, even water. AWFUL!!!! | I had NO idea I would loose my sense of taste on this medication, the doctor that prescribed this medication had no idea either. The loss of taste had me so confused and distraught. Everyone kept telling me I must have picked up a head cold or something which didn't make sense, it wasn't until I went back to the doctor in complete anxiety and frustration that he looked it up on some prescription side effect application and we both realized that this could be a side effect of this AWFUL POSION!!! Been off the drug for 14 days now and can taste a tiny bit of salty things at the front of my tongue, nothing in the back and nothing sweet. Had I known this before I would have lived with my funky toenail or done laser instead. My doctor said it could take up to 400 hours to purge this poison out of my system, after reading everyone's comments I think it will be a lot longer, probably going back to the doctor to get a liver test at this point. Avoid this medication at all costs. I am PRAYING my taste comes back fully and my thoughts go out to all that are in my same predicament. | M | 45 | 62 days 250 1X day | 8/31/2011 | 1 | Rash | Headache, extremely fatigued, weak neck...heavy headed, dizzy feeling | I had no idea why I was feeling so fatigued, I wake up after 9 hours sleep and find myself falling asleep at work, my eyes are sore, I have a slight throbbing in my head...its a real worry. Can anyone tell me how long these symptoms will last? I have been off the drug for 5 days and have not noticed any improvement!!! please reply | M | 24 | 33 days 250mg 1X day | 8/9/2011 | 1 | toenail fungus | stomach ache, headache, lethargy, slight dizziness. | A drug that messes with you this badly just isn't worth taking for a mostly cosmetic problem. Not to invite spammers, but has anyone found a safer alternative? | M | 68 | 2 weeks 250mg 1X day | 2/8/2012 | 1 | Fungal nail infection | Complete loss of normal taste, everything tasted bitter and disgusting. Tongue was numb, burning, and at times paining. | Do not take this drug, it is extremely harmful. I have gone through hell for weeks with a disgusting bitter metallic taste in the mouth, and unable to taste anything. This is extremely distressing. My taste is only just starting to return after about 2 weeks, but it is very slow to return. Be warned! This drug is terrible, its not worth the risk. | M | 52 | 6 weeks 250mg 1X day | 7/6/2012 | 1 | Toe nail fungus and athletes foot | Headches, diarrhea, constipation, slight taste loss, dull pain in rib cage area, stomach burning sensation, feeling tired, fever & chills upon day 45. Once I experienced fever&chills on day 45 I stoped the pill right away. I was suppose to be on a 90 day perscription. | DO NOT USE THIS DRUG. THIS DRUG IS POISON. STICK TO OTHER REMEDIES PERIOD. IT IS NOT WORTH TAKING THE RISK. YOUR HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT PERIOD. MY BLOOD RESULTS SHOW GOOD LIVER FUNCTION. HOWEVER, I WILL GET ADDITIONAL LAB WORK DONE NOW. ITS NOW ALSO BEEN 45 DAYS AFTER THE PILL. I FEEL GOOD BUT SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE MY STOMACH IS NOT OK. EATING HEALTHY AND STAYING HYDRATED.DO NOT USE THIS DRUG. | M | 25 | 45 days 250mg | 12/5/2017 | 1 | toenail fungus | salty taste in mouth, food tastes terrible, especially chocolate. | stopped taking 2 weeks ago and the salty taste is going away but food still tastes funny, chocolate is still bad. wish I had been told about this side effect, this is much much worse then the toenail fungus. I have gone back to the topical treatment. This medication should be removed from the market! | M | 45 | 35 days | 11/29/2005 | 1 | toenail fungal infection | After taking drug for six weeks I suddenly lost all sense of taste. All food is now unpalatable, particularly any sweet or sugary ones. | I basically survive on hot soups which are easier to swallow. It is now 10 days since I stopped taking the drug and have had no noticeable improvement in my ability to taste. This drug is not worth the problems it has caused. | M | 65 | 45 days | 1/2/2007 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | Started losing my ability to taste anything sweet after about 30 days. I called my doctor and he assured me it would be temporary. By 6 weeks I had lost almost all sense of taste and have a constant metallic taste in my mouth. I stopped taking it on my own 4 days ago and so far nothing has changed. | If I had been warned of the side effects, I would have never taken Lamisil. Clearly the company is misrepresenting the potential side effects, especially as it pertains to loss of taste. | M | 46 | 45 days | 3/27/2006 | 1 | Athlete's foot for 20 years | Took Lamisil for 30 days. Athlete's foot cleared up. Several months after drug, I had elevated readings on liver tests. Had liver tests every three months since and 18 months later they have not yet returned to normal range. Not sure if the Lamisil and the liver are connected but many associate Lamisil with liver harm. | Now 18 months since taking Lamisil for 30 days. Athlete's foot has just returned. Not as severe as before but maybe I will be back to where I started. | M | 44 | 30 days | 9/26/2005 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Complete loss of taste after taking the drug only 3 weeks. I stopped taking it after that and it is 6 months later and still no taste. | I have not only lost 30 pounds, but also some quality of life. Before taking this drug, consider the possibility of not being able to taste your favorite food or even enjoy a dinner celebration at your favorite restaurant. Any enjoyment from eating no longer exists. No toenail fungus is worth this and I still have it since I had to quit the medication. I am told that the taste loss could be permanent given the length of time it has been. | M | 41 | 3 weeks | 10/11/2005 | 1 | Nail infection | Complete loss of taste at day 10 | You would not know how depressing losing your sense of taste is until it happens to you. Starting taking Lamisil 29 days ago. Complete loss of taste since about the 10th day of taking it. Still taking it and hoping taste comes back soon. No improvement to nails yet. | M | 36 | 29 days | 10/15/2005 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Very blurry vision, especially with bright light. Have black spots in vision. This is after 3 weeks taking the drug. I stopped taking, then the blurryness cleared up but still slight dark spots. 3 days after stopping now and they slight black spots almost gone. Anyone else have this? | M | 33 | 21 days | 8/18/2006 | 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 | Toenail Fungus | I took the drug for 55 days. At about day 40 I began to lose my sense of taste. I have been off the drug for one week and still can't taste anything. This is a very depressing side effect. You just don't look forward to eating. | M | 32 | 55 days | 5/23/2004 | 1 | fungus nails | After about 6 weeks I have lost my sense for taste from one day to the other. Now, 6 weeks after I have stopped, my taste started to come back. It is about 25-30% of what it was used to be, but that is a big improvement compared to a few weeks ago: everything tasted like clay and it felt that way in my mouth too. I lost in a month 16 lbs of weight. I can live with a fungus nail, but not without my sense for taste. This medicine should be banned! | M | 48 | 6 weeks | 9/9/2004 | 1 | toenail fungus | nausea and cramps | miserable drug | M | 37 | 30 days | 6/30/2004 |
