| 5 | Toenail Fungus | No side effects | This website had me scared out of my mind to take the generic Lamisil. After 3 months, my liver is great, and no side effects to report. My toenail fungus that I've had since I was 14 is gone and the athletes foot that I've had since I was 5 is also gone. I've battled athletes foot all my life and have been embarrassed to ever wear open toed shoes. I'm beyond happy with my results and urge everyone to be aware of the POSSIBLE side effects, but there are many positive cases out there, people just want to tell about their bad experiences. | F | 25 | 3 months | 12/19/2008 | 4 | Toenail fungus | diarrhea the entire 3 months | I took the generic version of Lamisil, but it worked great! Both fungal toenails are looking better, starting to grow in pink. I'm glad I endured through the 3 months of diarrhea, it was worth it. | F | 49 | 90 days | 12/17/2008 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Tiredness, abdominal pain, intestinal pain, lower back pain, nausiated, and occasional bad taste. And anxiety. | It's scary, I got sick then had to have blood work done, liver seemed fine, never checked my kidney's. My toe looks better and doesn't hurt anymore, but my insides are so messed up and hurt really bad, I ended up in ER, they didn't find anything, had CT-Scan everything appears to be fine, but I feel horrible. I called my podiatrist and he recommended that I take one one day then skip a day, or break it in 1/2 and extend my treatment time, but I've heard way too much bad, I'm going to discontinue it, it's not worth the pain and nausia, it's effecting my work and other activities. | F | 23 | 2.5 months | 12/17/2008 | 5 | Toenail fungus | My sense of smell was slightly altered...it seemed like I could always smell something like metal...but really it wasn't that serious, just odd! | Worked really well for me! Toenail fungus IMMEDIATELY stopped spreading after a week on Lamisil. After 12 weeks, fungus was halfway grown out. 6 months later, the fungus had completely gone, thank goodness. Obviously it is your choice to take the medication or not, but please don't be scared by all the awful information about the possible side effects. My doctor says that the possible risks are WAY overblown and as long as you are healthy you should be just fine. | F | 26 | 3 months | 12/12/2008 | 1 | 6 weeks | Got terrible taste in mouth, unable to taste food. This starting happening after 5.5weeks of taking lamisil. Has anyone gotten back their taste? I stop taking it. It has been 3.5 weeks and I'm still the same. HELP! | F | 47 | 6 weeks | 12/9/2008 | 1 | toe nail fungus | took for almost 6 weeks, when notice an bad taste in my mouth. I stopped it. It has been 3.5 weeks and taste is not back to normal. My doctor says it will take about 4 weeks. | For those who have experience this horrible side effects how long did it take for taste to return back to normal? | F | 47 | 5.5 weeks | 12/8/2008 | 1 | Toenail fungus | After 6 weeks of taking this medication I noticed that everything I ate and drank tasted odd. I contacted my doctor and stopped taking Lamisil immediately upon discovering that loss of taste or taste disturbance was a side effect of this drug. I contacted Novartis customer service department who refused to discuss my concerns saying it was against their code of practice! They agreed to write to my doctor to give him what information they had about this side effect (and then had the nerve to ask if he would pass on my medical history so they could put me into the database! I refused). So I have been told it should take about 6 weeks for my taste to recover. But 6 weeks has been and gone and I still have major taste disturbance. It has gone from a mouthful of sea water to a mouthful of soapy water! Nice!! To make matters worse I am an insulin dependent diabetic and have consequently had several hypos on account of not being able to eat properly. I am thoroughly depressed about | F | 45 | 42 days | 12/1/2008 | 1 | nail fungus | see below posting 11/5/2008. That's me. | I contacted Novartis today and urge everyone experiencing this to register your issues with the company. They will not fully know how devastasting this is until we all register our complaints. The number is 1-800-452-0051. It is worth your time. | F | 41 | 31 days | 11/25/2008 | 1 | nail fungus | Took for 5 1/2 weeks of 6 weeks treatment. At 5 1/2 weeks lost my sense of taste and ability to eat. Everything I eat has a chemical taste and is extremely intolerable. | I am going to 2 weeks now without the ability to eat normally. I'm losing weight and feel sick constantly. I feel like I have been poisoned systemically. I would never suggest taking this medicine to anyone. It took 5 1/2 weeks for this horrible side effect to happen. There was no indication on the side effects listed on the medicine sheet when given to me. Lamisil web site claims this is a "rare" side effect. Doesn't look rare to me with all of the complaints here. | F | 55 | 45 days | 11/20/2008 | 1 | 4 weeks | Took Lamisil for nail fungus for 4 weeks. Ran out of medicine so, I went to get a refill but was informed by my doctor I had to have my liver function checked first. There was a three day period before I saw my doctor and noticed I had loss all taste. Stopped taking medicine immediatly. Now, one week off drug and I have a constant salty taste in my mouth and all foods even water are horrible. Can't eat and I see that I am already losing weight. Would never have taken this medication had I known this would happen. Destroys your quality of life. This drug should be banned.I think all people suffering from this drug should sue the drug manufacturer. Hope to god effects aren't permanent and short lived. Anyone told to take this drug by their doctor should run away as fast as you can. Better to live with the fungus! If anyone knows how to get taste back please respond. | M | 48 | 30 days | 11/15/2008 | 1 | toenail and foot fungus | head ache, loss of taste, bad taste in my mouth all the time. | Depressed because of loss of taste. Cold cereal, regular cherios or special K seem to taste ok. Smell is normal. Suffered with fungus for over 40 years, kept getting worse. Tried bleach soaks which helped, but always came back. After 70 days on lamisil pills, it seems to have cured the fungus. I quit the pills because of bad taste. Now I will use lamisil cream twice a day for several weeks to make sure it don't come back. | F | 63 | 70 days | 11/15/2008 | 1 | toenail fungus | Day 31, horrible bitter/metallic taste. Discontinued immediately. Now med-free for 19 days, lost sense of taste for sugar, carbs, bread products and dairy. Can barely taste meat. Water is disgusting unless peppermint oil is added. Lost 6 pounds of muscle already. | This medicine has serious adverse effects that are not disclosed can last for 35-120 days after last pill taken. Began doing a lemon/hot water drink to cleanse the liver with some success. This product is not worth the risks of damage. | F | 41 | 31 days | 11/5/2008 | 5 | Fungus on my right big toe | The only side effect for me was the price. Ouch! | I wanted to write a review after a successful use of this product because I believe that the majority of people who write on these boards are unsatisfied users and the satisfied users typically do not come back to share their results. Now, this is a very serious drug and should be taken with precaution and discretion. But not all experiences are “horror” stories, so here is mine, I had fungus on my right big toe ever since I can remember. Like most, I was embarrassed to show off my toe and was envious of everyone that could. I wanted to get rid of this unwelcome guest and was convinced that topical treatment could not effectively do the job. I decided to use Lamisil and I have to admit, it worked! – And no, I am not in any way a rep for this product. It took 6 weeks to visibly see my new toe coming in, and about 5 months to have a normal, pink toe. It’s now been 9 months since I used this treatment and the fungus has not returned, although, I now use Tinactin | M | 27 | 90 days | 10/18/2008 | 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 | 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 | toe nails | Im writing on behalf of my mother who is 54, and like many others is suffering from complete taste loss after 5 weeks. It's been a horrible experience for her so far, to not be able to taste ANYTHING. She's lived on chicken nuggets for the past 3 weeks. She's lost weight and she's depressed. I think that comes from not being able to taste food and fear that it may never come back, you just eat to get strength. Its comforting to know that most of these people at least got SOME taste back in about 6 weeks. Im so glad I found this page. Its helped a lot...thank God, since the doctors completely blow you off and have no obvious clue to this side effect. Thats amazing since it IS like the 3rd side effect on the list. I think much more attention needs to be drawn to that particular one. I've seen what this med does and would not reccomend it for anyone!!! | F | 54 | 5 weeks | 10/2/2008 | 5 | toenail fungus | I had no side effects with this drug. | I was using this drug to treat toenail fungus on two nails. Mine wasn't severe at all. My doctor prescribed 7 pills a month for 12 months. I have been on it for 6 months now and have noticed a change. It may take alot longer but it is better than having side effects that everyone else seems to have. | F | 30 | 6 months | 9/29/2008 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Horrible Metallic dry taste in my mouth after taking it for 2 weeks and for 2 days after discontinuing it. Extreme fatigue. Flu like symptoms. | After seeing all the bad comments with mine added on this website I would not recommend this drug to anyone. | F | 45 | 21 days | 9/14/2008 | 4 | toe fungus | I took lamisil for 28 days and had no side effects. | I had blood work done to check my liver and the doctor called two days later and told me to stop taking it because it was affecting it. Otherwise I would still be taking it for 2 more months. It really cleared up my athletes foot on the bottom where it always was itching and was starting to see my two affected toes improve. I have to go back in a month for blood work to check my liver again. I will start looking at home remedies. | F | 45 | 28 days | 9/6/2008 | 1 | toenail fungus | After 26 days of Lamisil, had severe allergic reaction. Hives all over the body, from head to toe, swelling of the face, joint pain, you name it. Went to the dermatologist who prescribed this poison, and he put me on Steroids and Benadryl to fight the severe allergic reaction. This is my 2nd day on Steroids, and allergic reaction persists. Hope that it will be gone in a few days. | A classic case of the solution being worse than the initial problem. Don't take this poision. | M | 34 | 26 days | 9/6/2008 |
