| 3 | 4 toenails with fungus | I have stomach pain, knee joint paint, so much gas in my stomach and constipation. I have been taking the medicine for only 2 days. | I have had this fungus problem since 15 years. Tried everything execpt Lamisil. Now I have put myself together and will keep on taking it... | F | 31 | 2 days | 8/31/2009 | 3 | toenail fungus | After eating I would get hot and start sweating. Nausea followed by vomiting happened at least twice a week. I am just about to start my 3rd and last month. I am going to tough it out, but it really sucks feeling like this | M | 29 | 60 days | 8/20/2009 | 5 | Fungus on fingernails and toenails | random nosebleeds, slight loss of appetite that returned two weeks after finishing medicine | when i drank alcohol, it seemed to affect me much faster.. so keep that in mind.. alcohol and lamisil probably shouldn't be taken together anyway even with the side effects, this medicine works and is very much worth it | M | 33 | 12 weeks | 8/18/2009 | 5 | 10 fungus toenails | I have had fungus toenails for about 8 years and it was on all ten of them, I even lost my big toenail a few times and it would grow back even grosser. They were bad! | i used the Lamisil for 90 days and it was about 80% cured and now 10 months later, it is about 99.8% gone. The only complaint I have is horrible bad breatha and still 10 months later, I still have it, I just chew gum all the time. MY toes look great , thank you :) I can wear sandles for the first time in years and I feel great | F | 41 | 90 days | 8/5/2009 | 1 | Foot Fungus | I got really bad itchy hives 15 days into taking my prescription. My joints and some muscles have been hurting for few a weeks and I may contribute that to the prescription too. I still have the hives it has been 4 days now, all over my entire body, head, palms, wrists, arms, neck, chest, hips, legs, and feet. They seem to be subsiding a little since I stopped taking the pill 2 days ago. I got them on a Friday and had them all weekend. I have just left a call into my Dr. I want to know how long this is going to stay in my system. I will not continue taking this after all the comments I have read. I hope my hives do not turn into shingles. | F | 31 | 15 days | 7/27/2009 | 3 | toenail fungus | the cream made my skin EXTREMELY sensitive and Itchy. Switched to tabs which i barely get a metal taste in my mouth so far (only 3 days with the tabs) | so yeah the cream, and I used alot all over my feet and nails, made me itsch and itch like crazy. I didnt realize this could possible happen. As it turned out I went to the dr to get the RX tab so realizing the itching was from the cream (1%) that i just started to take, and the itching/sensitivity has gone away. Will let you know about the generic tabs. | M | 40 | 3 days | 7/5/2009 | 1 | Toenail fungis | I took this posion for three weeks after the end of the second week I noticed everything tasted funny. Then I started to have terrible nausa and could not eat or drink without feeling like I was going to vomit. I am loosing weight and I'm very tired my gut has an awful pain in it. If I do eat only the first bite am I able to taste a little and swallow. If I continue to try to eat I have to spit out what was chewed or I will throw up. My mouth is constantly saltly tasting and discusting. Even if I brush my teeth it still tastes awful. I can tolerate water with the juice of half a lemon if it's very cold and I drink it fast. I can barely taste fresh basil and spicy food but the stomach pain prevents me from eating. My doctor took blood from me last week to test liver enzymes I have already stoped the drug. I am very concerned about my health I have lost 10 lbs in three weeks. I would never reccomend this drug to any one loosing your sense of taste robs you of any pleasure in ea | It seem the people that have the taste distribance are at a higher risk for liver damage because of this drug. | F | 52 | 21 days | 7/4/2009 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | Horrible constipation like symptoms. I am 44 YO male and couldn't go for 3-4 days suddenly about 2-3 weeks into treatment. I used suppositories | M | 44 | 14 days | 6/27/2009 | 3 | Toe nail Fungus | I am within the last 2 weeks of my 3 month perscription. A week and a half ago I totally lost my appitite, have a VERY dry mouth... even after taking a drink of water I am very thristy again. I try to eat everyday but can't eat things that are dry because they become hard to swallow because of the lack of saliva. Also have had loose stool, with some yellow watery discharge, ben VERY anxious... I have alreay lost 10 pound and I am skinny to begin with. I went to the DR and all my liver functions and blood tests came back good. Could this possiably be caused by the Lamisil. Please e-mail me with suggestions | On a plus note I am noticing a diffence with the my to nails but I have quit taking it for the last 2 weeks I had left | M | 30 | 2.5 months | 6/25/2009 | 1 | Toe nail fungus, mild, | I don't ususally trust what I read on the Internet. So, I can't believe it, but yes - I lost my sense of taste at about 6 weeks. It's still faint, tasting as though I mixed the food with a heavy paste. I do taste very salty things, but it only registers as the salt. I immediately stopped the medication. My liver panel was normal at one month on meds - will check it again in a couple of weeks. I would not take this medicine again. I had tried the topical, prescription strength anti-fungals, but to no avail. Hopefully there is a newer, more palatable option out there. | F | 48 | 42 days | 6/15/2009 | 1 | toe nail fungus | loss of taste/feeling of having lumps in my throat | sudden loss of taste at about six weeks of taking medication. I can't imagine not being able to taste food again. Does anyone know how long these symptoms last?? Wish I would have never taken this medication. I debated for several years--but then my dermatologist said they came out with a generic form--much less costly--so I went for it! Big Mistake!! | F | 46 | 6 weeks | 6/10/2009 | 1 | Finger nail fungus | After living with a disfigured and mostly absent finger nail for over 10 years I finally decided to give Lamisil a try. I've taken the generic version for 5 weeks now. I developed itchy patches all over my body after about a week. A steroid shot seemed to clear that up. Then at 4 weeks in I lost my sense of taste. Everything tastes horrible! I've already lost 5% of my body weight and I'm afraid that will rise. I'm discontinuing the medication! | F | 37 | 35 days | 6/3/2009 | 5 | Toe Fungus | NONE WHAT SO EVER! | After 3 or 4 years of having to hide my toes due to a real bad case of toe fungus, my doctor gave me Lamisil about 5 or 7 years ago and I never experienced any effects. My toes are great. I am great! | F | 44 | 3 months | 5/12/2009 | 2 | toe fungus | I am not a person who ever has reactions to anything. I don't have allergies and I'm very healthy. So when I got the info sheet that came with the drug (generic - Terbinafine) I pretty much ignored it. When, at about day 25 into my 90 day prescription, I started to itch, I thought it was dry skin. Then the itching turned to rashes on different parts of my body. When one went away another appeared - on forearms, calves, even the bottoms of my feet. It didn't seem it could be due to the meds because of the time that had passed. Then, around day 29 I started to have muscle/joint aches and brief swelling of my ankles that would go away and return. At that point I found this site and reports of so many similar symptoms. | I will stop the drug. I could live with the symptoms for 60 more days if I knew that was as bad as it would get and that they'd go away after stopping the drug. But after seeing the loss of taste and other symptoms people are reporting, I'm not willing to take the chance. Thanks to all for the warnings. | F | 46 | 31 days | 5/1/2009 | 1 | toenail fungus | shingles in right buttucks moving to back and upper leg .horrible pain. now on valtrex for shingles. limp .foot won't step smoothly down. cannot sit down for more than a minute without shooting pain. ps, skied all winter. am healthy. 60 yrs | F | 60 | 12 days | 4/26/2009 | 4 | toe fungus | had horrible indigestion the first 2-3 weeks, but that quickly subsided. Continued to drink alcohol occasionally. | I'm on day 75 of the 90-day treatment. I was terrified of taking this medication after getting on this board, but I haven't had any problems. They say it can take up to a year for any signs of improvement to the fungus, but I can already tell a difference in the look and feel of my toenail. (Just in time for summer! Thank goodness!) While I believe this drug to be highly powerful and believe the side effects many people are reporting are real, I think if you need to take this drug to get rid of a fungus, you should do so. Just monitor yourself very closely while on the drug. | F | 32 | 75 days | 4/23/2009 | 3 | left thumbnail fungal infection | I'm at week 7 of 250mg once a day. First 30 days everything was fine, then I started with welts on my chest, shoulders, arms, legs and back. The medicine seems to be killing the fungus, but the rash is really itchy. My GP assures me the rash isn't from the anti-fungal, but I know better. Before taking the drug my left thumb was in bad shape - cracking and bleeding from the slightest bump, ugly, black raised nail with a foul odor. I'm going to see a dermatologist to see what I can do about this problem. I hate taking this drug, but there is no other way to get under the nail and attack this horrible fungus. My thumb is much better and now it looks like if I can continue the meds it will kill the fungus. This isn't a cosmetic problem,the fungal infection was really nasty. I have always been a "health nut" and think my superior diet and avoidance of alcohol, drugs, chemicals and crappy food has helped me to avoid many of the side effects other have written about here. Th | M | 50 | 45 days | 4/20/2009 | 3 | Toe Nail Fungus | Been taking Lamisil Generic for 4 months with no side effects. I have one more refill for a 5th month. Slowly my left big toe nail is coming out clear. | M | 29 | 106 days | 4/16/2009 | 3 | Toenail fungus | I little spacey, but could be from the aciphex I am also taking. | I've been on this for two weeks and have had hardly any side effects. I have found that thinking about the pill too much is what's causing the problem, so I take it at night, with some milk or a light snack. I did notice I do get a little spacey, but only when I first take the pill, and I just sleep that off. I can't wait to see the positive results, and don't let all the negative hype scare you. The majority of the negative side effects happen in less than 3% of people taking this medication! | F | 25 | 2 weeks | 4/13/2009 | 5 | toe nail fungus | very mild side effects in the beginning | Not going to lie..these postings scared the crap out of me. But tired of fighting the fungus. Just finished a 90-day program. I had a bit of cotton mouth the first few days. I also felt a little scatter-brained. I did cut out all caffeine, still had some alcohol. Nails looking much better. | F | 45 | 90 days | 4/7/2009 |
