Be careful about this one. | M | 39 | 7 days | 3/17/2004 | 1 | TOTAL LOSS OF SMELL AND TASTE SENSATION AND TEXTURE SENSATION AND ACID INDIGESTION. STILL PERSISTING AFTER 2 MONTHS. | DO YOU REARLY WANT TO USE THIS PRODUCT? | M | 20 days | 7/30/2003 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | stomach cramps | M | 54 | 14 days | 9/25/2004 | 1 | M | | 9/26/2004 | 1 | toe nail fungus | After the 3rd month of completing one round of lamisil I now have abdominal pain that is getting severe. My taste is effected, but can taste food ok. However, I feel that my liver is infected and will call the doctor tomorrow. I will follow up if I live. The nail fungus is about 80 percent gone. | I think my liver is infected with pain in my upper abdominal area. | M | 49 | 3 months | 10/13/2008 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Took meds for 8 weeks with clearing of nails evident. Then, like all at once, lost sense of taste. Been that way for last 10 days. Stopped drug couple days ago, not knowing if it was cause of taste loss or not. | After reading so many similar comments, seems like drug clearly has impacted my taste sensation. This suggests major problem that requires some action to stop its use. | M | 59 | 60 days | 11/29/2004 | 1 | Athletes Foot | Right after taking, noticed frequent urination and shore kidney area. Started taking late 89 90, still having problems...........GRIS-PEG Is much better and works | Athletes Foot: Doc says take Lamisil. I asked the Doc for Gris-Peg instead. He insisted i try this, so i did for 30 plus days. It did not totally work. I asked again to get GRIS-PEG, he agreed. About 3 weeks later, cured. This was a deep rooted fungus i had for years. Years earlier The family got Ring Worm (same type of fungus) from a farm animal. Went to a Dermatolgist and this is where i discoverd GRIS-PEG . This stuff works and is and old stanby. Now im having problems in urination and sore kidney | M | 42 | 30 days | 11/1/2004 | 1 | Fungus under toe nail | It made all foods, especially those with sugar, taste terrible. Not just a | Thanks to this web site, I learned that spicey foods (chile, etc.) were tolerable. As soon as I figured out that Lamisil could be the cause, I stopped taking it. It took 6 to 8 weeks before things got back to normal. Truly a horrible experience, not knowing if you would ever be able to enjoy food again. | M | 61 | 2 months | 8/3/2005 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Hives all over my body after 30 days of taking this medicine. | M | 34 | 31 days | 7/17/2005 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | After 3 months on the medication with no apparent problem, I noticed decrease in my smell and taste but thought it was due to a sinus infection. The condition worsened and after sinus problem was gone, the persistent phantom smell and taste didn't cease. I cannot distinquish the smell of perfume from cigarette smoke. The taste of coffee, pizza and steaks is like rotten mushrooms. Some taste like lemons and oranges is discernable. | Has anyone successfully recovered from the taste/smell loss? Has anyone done any type of detox to help the recovery? is there some natural way to cure this malady. I do not recommend this for anyone unless you are aware of the chances that it may fail you. The sad part is that I used to be an excellent cook and I cannot even make a decent cup of coffee or smell popcorn!! I would rather have my toenail removed and have a fake one...... Quality of life is hampered!! Even beer and wine is not refreshing!!! Any feedback would be welcomed. | M | 46 | 3 months | 10/18/2008 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Severe dizziness, headache, nausea, itching, tiredness | I took Lamisil pills (Terbinafine) for only 6 days. Symptoms began on the 3rd day: stomach pain and headaches. I didn't think anything of it at the time. It got more serious on the 5th day. I broke out with a bad itch. Still I took the pill on the 6th night and went to bed. Next morning, severe dizziness was so bad I couldn't get out of bed for an hour. Also I experienced a severe nausea, pale face, cold sweat, and shortness of breath. I suspected the pills. I went online and saw the problems with this drug. I stopped the pills. My doctor ran blood tests and told me to stop the treatment immediately (I already had). He did blood tests even before prescribing Lamisil. All these came back okay. Now, it's TWO WEEKS after after my last pill and only the itchiness and stomach pain has diminished. I'm still experiencing dizziness all day long. At sleep, I can only hold my head in one position. If I move it to the left on my pillow, I feel like I'll pass out. Walking or just si | M | 44 | 6 days | 7/18/2006 | 1 | nail fungus | After 1 week of taking lamisil I started getting my left leg numb every time I lay down. After 3 weeks of taking it I'm limping because I feel a sharp pain right above my knee, I'm discontinuing this drug right now. | It seem to work though, I can see pink toe nails growing right at the bottom but I how good is a clear toenail if I can't walk? | M | 24 | 24 days | 6/14/2005 | 1 | Nail Fungus | I didn't notice any side effects. | I've tried 3 courses of Lamisil over a period of 3 years. One for 2 months and another for 3 months. I've just stopped the third course (of 6 months) after 3 months as it is having zero effect on my nail situation. | M | 39 | 6 months | 10/5/2007 | 1 | toe nail fungus | shingles | My GP went out of his way to get a dermatologist to prescribe this as eight of my toenails were fungal. After 10 weeks of taking the pill, I developed shingles. My white blood cell count had dropped very low, but the dermatologist didn't consider that a warning sign and didn't care about my blistering forehead. I had to go to the emergency center for treatment. Four years later my forehead is badly scarred and still itches. I took all but three of 90 pills and four toenails are still infected. Do not take this medication. | M | 46 | 11 weeks | 7/30/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | hives and severe itching after 3 weeks, discontinued drug then and then 1 week later loss all sense of taste (also had a nasty salty taste in mouth at all times), had alcohol sensitivity (had 2 beers and I felt like I had had 24)---after 1 month off drug still cannot taste anything | M | 42 | 3 weeks | 8/14/2005 | 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 | 1 | Toe Nail | Almost complete loss of taste after about 7 weeks on Lamisil. | After 3 weeks of no taste, I tried taking Acidophilus and a holistic liver cleansing solution. If anyone still does not have their taste, try this! In just 2 days of these things I am sporadically tasting things. It goes away shortly, but its better than nothing, and after 3 weeks instead of months and months! | M | 26 | 7 weeks | 9/22/2007 | 1 | fingernail and toenail fungus | After taking the drug for about 2 weeks I noticed shortness of breath, hot flashes, a few chest pains, throbbing headache. Luckily for me (from what it sounds like on this forum) I still have my sense of taste and my liver seems alright. In any case, I've been taking for about three weeks and after reading about everyone's experiences I am going to discontinue this crap. It's amazing how many frequent unrelated side effects a drug for nail fungus can cause. Ban this crap before it hurts more people | It works, but I honestly don't care. I would never recommend this to anyone. This drug is meant for cosmetic purposes, buts its side affects are immense. This just shows how thorough the FDA is. | M | 20 | 3 weeks | 9/11/2007 | 1 | fungal infection | Dull pain both sides of lower back,felt like my kidneys were inflamed and was worse when I was lying down.Feeling of extreme fatigue , one hour after rising I had to have a 1/2 hours sleep to make me feel human and at the end of the working day it took a great effort to walk the distance of one mile to my car. | This is a powerful drug which was prescribed to me by a dermatologist and I am concerned after reading other comments regarding side effects that I was never warned that there may be serious adverse effects. If in any doubt during the course of the treatment contact your doctor immediately. Treat with caution!!!!! | M | 64 | 30 days | 6/11/2007 | 1 | toenail fungus | After 45 days I began having severe stomach pains and visited my doctor. The medicine was promplty halted. I ate VERY little and dropped an incredible amount of weight. (50 lbs. over a 4.5 month duration. During this time, I've have MANY tests; edg, liver panels, MRI-A, hidascan, and the list goes on and on. I continue to have gastro problems. I will never take this drug or recommend it to anyone! | M | 47 | 45 days | 12/30/2004 |
