| 4 | fungal infections in the toes | I experienced no side effects | Lamisil interacts with certain medications and causes certain side effects, those medications are Rifampin, Terfenadine, Cimetidine and few others which you can find in detail at International Drug Mart | F | 40 | 30 days 10gm cream 2X day | 6/8/2010 | 4 | toenail fungus | I am 21 years old and I have been taking Lamasil for 30 days now (I am on a 12-week schedule). So far, I have experienced no symptoms at all other than it has decreased the effectiveness of my birth control, resulting in bleeding between my periods. I had a blood test at the start of my treatment and go in for another one at 6 weeks. I haven't noticed much of the effects of the drugs on my toenails as the fungus was just on the very top of one toenail and the bottom was already growing in fine. | F | 21 | 30 days 250 mg 1X day | 5/31/2010 | 3 | Toe, foot & fingernail fungus | I've had foot and toenail fungus for 11 years,and finger and index nail fungus for 2 years. I'll start by saying that I'm very prone to common and unusual side effects. The first day I had no symptoms. The second, I experienced slight nausia and anxiety, but I also had a VERY stressful experience with a different matter. I also had strange nightmares, bad enough for my fiance to wake in the night and shake me from it. I also experienced a bit of appetite loss. Since then I've noticed progressing gland soreness in the back of my neck and slight pains at the base of my skull, extreme thirst, slightly frequent urination, slight headache, and a bit of bad gas. I'm almost wondering if mixing with large amounts of coffee is a bad idea. These are very minor side effects, even tolerable...so far. I'd like to say that my mother is a nutritional therapist and if anyone would detest my taking Terbinafine it would be her, very loud and clear. But instead, she only demanded that I take a daily supp | Keep in mind that different people with different lifestyles will have different side effects. Don't get scared or discouraged, just keep an eye out for serious continuous side effects and keep talking to your doctor. | F | 23 | 4 days 250MG 1X day | 5/12/2010 | 3 | toe fungus | Started feeling very tired and needed at least 10 hrs of sleep every night to feel like I could even function. I was also training for a 1/2 marathon so I wasn't sure what to blame the tiredness on (training or drug). After about 4 weeks starting losing sense of taste. This has been extremely disruptive to my life as I'm a big foodie and love to cook and eat. Mouth tastes like I've been sucking on salt. Only very strong flavors can be noticed. I can still smell but my mouth feels horrible. Also noticing some stomach cramping. My primary doc ordered liver tests and they came back fine but this is not at all what I was expecting. Dermatologist who put me on this drug told me to go off it at once, once i reported the lack of taste stating that it could become permanent if I continue it. SCARY!!!! | I was initially very hesitant to go on this drug but once it was offered cheaper in the Terbinafine, I went on it after trying a very strong perscription for a "toenail fungus paint". That showed little to no improvement after 6 months and I was very distraught with the looks of my nails. I have the fungus in 5 of my 10 toes. My nails are starting to look a lot better but I'm fearful that the fungus will now return since I was not on the drug for at least 12 weeks (more like 7). I did occasionally have a glass of wine and this didn't seem to matter much but it didn't taste as good as I would have liked. I'm just really disappointed that there aren't a lot of options out there for toe fungus that don't wreak havoc on one's system. | F | 35 | 50 days 250 mg 1X day | 5/6/2010 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Nothing except frequent nose bleeds. | M | 62 | 21 days 1X day | 4/22/2010 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | Loss of taste. Sweets/chocolate taste the worst. Stopped meds at 6 weeks of 12 week dose. 3 weeks later taste is still gone. Menstrual cycle irregular as well. Toe nail has come off and now I am using topical meds. | F | 44 | 6 weeks 250 1X day | 4/13/2010 | 3 | suspected toenail fungus | Have lost sense of taste, still not returned. Fungus cleared up in fingernails and was replaced by a severe attack of psoriasis which I did not know I had till I took the lamisil. Now I am being considered for some really scary immune system lowering drugs that can severly damage your liver, rasie your risk of getting cancer or whacking out your triglyeride levels and raise your chance of heart attack. I wish I had never taken this drug, it has caused me a world of misery and the fungus is coming back because I had to discontinue the drug after 60 days. It has cost me more in medical bills and now the psoriasis is making my life miserable. | F | 52 | 60 days 30 mg 1X day | 4/9/2010 | 5 | toenail monstrosity (fungus) | I'm on day 25 and I'm happy to see that some people have had the same side effects I'm having. My lower back hurts when I sit for long periods, but not otherwise. I have small round rashes in my groin area and in my forearms. My toenail is already looking better, with a clear, fungus free area at the base of the nail. My advise to everyone is: 1)continue to take the medicine if you want your fungus to disappear 2)suck that s#!* up and deal with the MINOR side effects 3)remember why you got on the medication in the first place, if you forget, look at your toe 4)if you end up with positive results, come back to the website and write about it in order to balance out all this negativity | M | 33 | 25 days 250 mg 1X day | 4/8/2010 | 5 | toenail fungus | I have been taking the generic form of Lamisil (terbinafine hydrochloride) for 45 days so far, out of a total 90 day treatment plan. I had very mild nausea during first 3 days of treatment. After that went away, I felt great for the remainder of the time I've been on the medication. As far as my toenails go, I can see a small margin of healthy nail starting to grow in, and it looks great! | Although I have been feeling good, I do want to mention one side effect that I experienced. I am taking birth control pills along with the Lamisil, and I experienced a lot of breakthrough bleeding during my first month of taking Lamisil. I've never experienced this before. Because the main components of birth control pills are broken down by cytochrome P450 in the liver, AND Lamisil inhibits cytochrome P450, it makes sense that taking Lamisil would affect the metabolism of hormones in birth control pills. This would also explain the breakthrough bleeding that I experienced. I would suggest that other women taking both BCP and Lamisil concurrently use an alternate form of contraceptives while on Lamisil. | F | 26 | 45 days 250 mg 1X day | 3/22/2010 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | None so far | Hopefully I won't experience the bad side effects I see on this site....fingers crossed.... | F | 29 | 1 days 250mg 1X day | 3/16/2010 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Loss of taste and/or everything tastes bad. Don't mind having lost 25 pounds in 2 1/2 months. FYI - crackers seem to taste like crackers, if you can't figure out what else to eat. Hard to stay hydrated though, when nothing tastes good. Eating, drinking has become a chore. The results are great though, so I'll continue the treatment until it's finished. | F | 46 | 75 days 250 mg 1X day | 3/11/2010 | 4 | toenail fungus on 8 toes | I woke up the morning after my first dose with a very strong metallic taste in my mouth. I'd had trouble sleeping, weird dreams, elevated heart rate and some anxiety. IT ONLY LASTED 1 DAY. DON'T GIVE UP IF IT IS ROUGH AT FIRST! | I had been reading about the horrible side effects of lamisil before I got the prescription and I was very worried when I woke up to that bad taste in my mouth. but I've been on it for 8 days now and there are zero side effects now. too soon to tell how the med will work but at least its worth a shot. I want nice toes! | F | 35 | 90 days 250 mg 1X day | 3/9/2010 | 3 | fungus on four toes | I barely started taking these pills and so far I have only experienced abdominal pain a couple times. I also feel a little more sleepy than usual. Hopefully it doesnt get worse. | Too soon to tell but hopefully my fugus goes away because it is so ugly and embarrassing and I'm too young to have this! | F | 22 | 14 days 250 MG 1X day | 3/7/2010 | 5 | Foot fungus | None...they were all in my head because the people on this message board scared me silly before I even started taking the pill. | This is a great medication that really works. The side effect rate is very, very small (3%), and don't be scared from reading this message board: I think the entirety of the 3% of side-affected patients rush right onto this website and complain. | M | 22 | 12 weeks 250mg 1X day | 2/25/2010 | 5 | toe nail fungus | itchy stomach, tired all the time, weird dreams, normaly a very emotional person ( can cry at a drop of a dime ) I'm cold as ice ( is that good or bad LOL ) | i have 44 more days and it is working, I have a liver panel done every 2 weeks everything is OK | F | 39 | 40 days 250 mg 1X day | 2/20/2010 | 4 | Toe Fungus | I only have a month left on these meds! I'm so happy with the results. Besides a weird feeling in my mouth the first few weeks, nothing else. I drink lots of water and take my meds with dinner. The top layer of the nail fell off and you can see where the new nail is growing. I already bought 2 pairs of sandels for this summer. | F | 31 | 2 months 250mg 1X day | 2/8/2010 | 4 | Fungus of the scalp | The first week on this medication made me dizzy and sleepy. Then the constipation onset. That tapered off upon eating less foods that took a while to digest such as beef, cheese and processed foods. The loss of taste happend along with certain foods tasting salty. I noticed my scalp was overly itchy and it felt as though the fungus was trying to crawl and resist treatment. This was a clear sign the med. was working. Crabmeat along with salad caused extremely fowl smelling flatulence and frequent urinating. I'll increase my fluid intake and eat smaller meals to deter weight gain. The fungus cleared and my hair has started growing back rapidly. | F | 40 | 60 days 250 mg 1X day | 2/4/2010 | 1 | fungus - white flakey toenails | spotty red rashes on groin and armpits. odd spelling urine. | M | 45 | 10 days | 1/31/2010 | 1 | fungal infection in one toe | Loss of taste | I have already posted here with a tip to help people eat who have lost their taste but I wanted to update and give some more hope. I am sure my taste is returning, by no means is it back to normal yet but I am now able to eat normally but with just less enjoyment. Citrus foods still taste horrible but on the whole I can detect flavours just not as strongly as I once could. I stopped treatment 25 days ago. I panicked at first but I feel quietly confident it should be fine eventually. good luck | M | 35 | 35 days | 1/27/2010 | 1 | Toe Fungus | Within a day developed nausea with vomiting, diarrhoea, light-headedness, breathlessness, headache, fatigue. | I would encourage anyone considering this drug or on it to be very careful. I never thought a topical cream that I only used once would make me so ill the following day that I had to miss a wedding.I felt like death. The most scary thing was that when I tried to lay semireclined to sleep, the minute I fell asleep my body woke me up as if to make me breath. It felt like I was stopping breathing every time I fell asleep. Awake I also felt short of breath. It took me 3 days to recover but it sounds like I got off lightly compared to other people! | F | 39 | 1 days | 1/24/2010 |
