| 4 | Nail fungus (toes) | Decreased ability to metabolize caffeine and alcohol. Malaise. | It seems to work so I just deal with the side effects :P | M | 29 | 2 months | 9/4/2008 | 1 | toe nail fungus | I started taking the generic brand of lamisil and I have been on it for about 40 days. After about 35 days into taking the medication, I noticed a change in my sense of taste. At first, I wasn't too sure what was happening. I also noticed that I was always thirsty even though I drink a lot of water already. I also noticed a metalic after taste in my mouth. My stomach was a bit queasy at times and I found myself very tired. My doctor and pharmasist did not warn me about these particular side effects at all. When I started doing more research on the drug and I had realized that other people were describing the same symptoms and more, I decided to stop taking the medication. It is not worth losing all sense of taste over toenail fungus. I looked into homeopathic remedies and one of the things that was suggested was to soak your feet in epsom salt once a day. It may take a while to get rid of the fungus but it is worth a shot. I can always cover my toes with toenail polish. I am | I reccommend that you seriously think about ALL the side effects before taking this medication. I don't think it's worth it and all doctors and pharmacists SHOULD go over EVERY side effect there is. | F | 49 | 40 days | 9/3/2008 | 5 | Toenail fungus | None really. My taste buds on the back of my tongue were swollen for a couple of weeks after 2 1/2 months of the treatment but I'm not sure it was from the Lamisil. No loss of taste. Overall working fine!! PINK TOENAILS AGAIN!! | LOVE IT!! My liver function test were normal. I am seeing pink toenails again. I had several toes that were infected because I was either pregnant or breastfeeding for 2 1/2 years and could not take it. Very minor side effects if any at all. I can not wait until all the fungus is gone and I can wear open toe shoes with confidence again. I will let cha know later. | F | 35 | 80 days | 8/24/2008 | 3 | Toenail Fungus | Extreme fatigue, pale stools, abdominal pain, indigestion, taste disturbance. | My bloodwork was fine while taking this medicine, however the side effects did indicate possible liver problems so I stopped taking the drug anyway. It's a shame too because it was really starting to work, but I won't risk destroying my liver over it. | M | 45 | 30 days | 8/21/2008 | 3 | toenail fungus | I've been taking the generic for about 3 weeks. Haven't noticed any side effects so far. I do however really miss cocktails!!! I went on vacation last week and my doctor told me to just take a break from the prescription so I could have drinks with friends. Hmmm I did it but now I wonder if it was a good idea. Haven't seem improvement in the nails but they were so ugly I hide them under dark polish. We'll see at next pedicure. | F | 49 | 21 days | 8/8/2008 | 3 | no known side effect at the time took it over a year fungus cleared up after 10 or 11 months around year 2000 fungus comming back again in 2008 | now in 2008 I have liver cancer may be a connection | M | 15 months | 8/4/2008 | 5 | toe nail fungus | None at all! DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL DURING OR AFTER THE USE OF LAMISIL. It WILL have an affect on your liver test results. | It definitely worked for me. My toe nails look great! | M | 28 | 3 months | 7/30/2008 | 1 | M.D. thought I had nail fungus | Severe allergic reaction: Acute Generalized Exanthamatous Pustulosis!! Started with slight rash after taking pill for 23 days. The explosive, chemical reaction in my bloodstream caused nausea, fatigue, fever and the worst skin reaction with pustules, edema, itching, redness - totally unbelievable until one sees it!! Stopped medication on June 17th. I am still suffering. The allergic reaction took over my entire body, every place where there is skin and blood. Took tapering dose of Prednisone as prescribed but it did not stop reaction from reaching my face, hair,all through to my finger tips & toes. Hair feels like cotton candy. I would describe it as a severe chemical burn. My entire first layer of skin is sloughing off. Since it did reach my lower legs at one point I could not walk because the swelling and burning pain was so severe - very scary. Almost every day I had a brief melt down. Soothing Oatmeal Baths helped the most. My total recovery, most likely end of Au | Number One: Be Sure the Diagnosis is correct before ingesting Medication! Be Sure you are aware of all the side effects!!! | F | 63 | 23 days | 7/27/2008 | 1 | toenail fungus | after taking this drug for app. 6 wks my sense of taste is completely distorted. There is a feeling of total mnumbness to partial numbness on parts of my tongue. The ability to taste anything sweet is impossible, I aqm always thirsty. Coffee tastes like poison. I have stopped the lamisil about 10 days ago and there is very little change in these symptoms. | F | 49 | 5 weeks | 7/25/2008 | 1 | toe nail fungus | loss of taste for 9 months/metallic taste/unable to eat/depression/the fungus went away but it came back. | Please use caution when taking this drug. It seems to work until all of a sudden you start to have the taste issues. | F | 57 | 75 days | 7/21/2008 | 5 | To improve my toenails | The only side affect that I had at first was within the first week of starting Lamisil. I broke out in a little rash on my legs and arms but went away. Another side affect was at times I felt a bit of nausa. | I had a wonderful experience with this medicine. I just finished my last dosage today and my nails look beautiful. All my blood work came back good for my liver. I still have time to see improvments but now I walk around with sandels and I am not scared to show off my toes!! | F | 28 | 114 days | 7/15/2008 | 5 | toe nail fungus | None, took it for 3 months and had NO side effects!!!! | I had ugly toes for so long, always wearing covered shoes and I live in Florida, I was so anxious when I started Lamasil, I paid alot of money for it, and I was thrilled with the results, its been a few months and my toes are all perfectly normal, it took almost a year to completely heal, but what a difference and I love looking at my new pedicures and wearing sandals again, stick it out, it's worth it!!!!! | F | 38 | 3 months | 7/15/2008 | 1 | toe nail fungus | did not take lamisil (thank god!) | I had a fungal infection on my big toe. It got so bad, that the nail actually fell off. But, after a couple of months, a new nail grew in, with no fungus! so, it may be simpler to have your nail fall off, or have it removed (same as ingrown nail), then to risk taking this highly dangerous drug | M | | 7/7/2008 | 1 | Toe Nail Fungus | Very upset stomach, loss of taste, diarrhee | This med made my stomach very upset to the point I didn't eat. The toe nail fungus was solved by having a portion of the big toe nail removed (similar to the surgery for an ingrown toenail). I wish that option had been presented to me first. I would rather lose the whole toe nail permanetly than to take this again. I also take anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds and I gave them all "5" ratings. This I give a "1". | M | 33 | 7 days | 6/27/2008 | 1 | nailfugus | Well...first thank you for all the comments it really helped me to come to a decision..namely no i will wait and try homeopathy and topical firts.Reading your side effects it seamse that's the effects i have from having the fungus in my body(i bite my nails)...So if it in your body (contegeous)thru using the drug it pushes the fungus out ...do do that it needs to go through your system to get eliminated and that why the effects are that bad..just a theory. | I've had 1 nail fungus for 2 years now.trying a number of homeremedies.It comes and goes! | F | 50 | 0 days | 6/24/2008 | 5 | Athlete's foot/toenail fungus | None. | This stuff is fantastic. I've been on it for 4 weeks, haven't had a single side effect, and my feet look great. The itching stopped completely within the first week, and by the second I noticed my feet weren't as red and scaly. The toenails are starting to look normal, too, pinker than before, and they seem to be growing in less thick and nasty. For the first time in years I've been able to wear sandals without embarrassment. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has had severe problems with toenail fungus and athlete's foot. | F | 36 | 27 days | 6/18/2008 | 1 | Fungal toe nails | Severe taste disturbances, weight loss, fatigue, headaches, constipation, depression, back pain | side effects emerged after 5 weeks of taking tablets. Stopped medication immediately. I had a metallic, bi-carbonate soda taste on tongue. All food tasted repulsive, even water. My social life was effected and I felt very depressed. I managed to drink smoothies made with milk, honey, banana, vanilla essence, & ice. I could tolerate porridge for breakfast. A naturopath gave me some herbal drops and my taste started to return 6.5 weeks after stopping tablets. This has been the most miserable time of my life and ruined an overseas holiday. Lamisil should not be on the market. It is a poison. BEWARE!!!! | F | 54 | 5 years | 6/3/2008 | 3 | Toenail Fungus, both feet | Headaches, Kidney Inflammation, metallic taste, pale stool | I noticed the headaches and pale stool within a week or two of starting generic lamisil. However the headaches were easily manageable with painkillers, and the pale stool simply had my doctor order blood tests. After a month or so I noticed the metallic taste and some abdominal pain that would subside a few hours after taking a pill. In the final two weeks of a three month course of treatment, the abdominal pain got worse and I was forced to stop taking any doses. I am awaiting the results of new blood tests on my kidney function. In the third month I could see the start of clearer nails growing in. I am hopeful that the nail will continue to grow this way now that I have stopped taking lamisil. | M | 27 | 75 days | 6/2/2008 | 1 | Toe nail fungal infection | Do you want to lose one of your five senses? If so, just take Terbinafine. I am unable to taste food properly and have a constant bitter, salty taste in my mouth. The idea of never being able to taste food again is very, very scary and depressing. This side effect far outweights the benefits of getting rid of the nail infection. It is better to have the infection than to lose one of your five senses. | F | 32 | 42 days | 6/1/2008 | 4 | Toenail fungus | The first day I felt a little funny...after that no side effects - I wanted other site visitors to know that not everybody has a bad experience | It seems to be helping several of my toes, but I can't tell yet if the worst ones are benefiting. | F | 62 | 10 weeks | 5/27/2008 |
