| 4 | Toenail fungus | possible weird taste in mouth, maybe small rash under armpits though this is more likely due to deoderant used (I've had it before and switching deoderant cleared it) | So far, I am impressed, as I too notice some positive results after 21 days. Nails had gotten painful, and Lamisil was a last resort for me after other treatments were unsuccessful. It is obviously a drug not to be taken longer than prescribed and only after careful consideration. But for me, so far so good... I'll let you know in 69 days... | M | 43 | 21 days | 10/31/2007 | 4 | toenail fungus | itchy and some rash after 3 week, but I think because I drunk alcohol. Also lost of period | Works well without alcohol. I am going to stop to take the medicine because the itchy in my whole body but I am going to try again in a month. I mess my treatment drinking alcohol | F | 28 | 26 days | 10/24/2007 | 1 | toe nail fungus | extreme fatigue; anxiety and extreme depression; persistent nausea; always very thirsty; headaches; slight metallic taste, though I could still taste food. | I'm very grateful for this website & everyone who has posted. I thought I was going crazy. I am prone to depression, but this was horrible, unlike anything I'd ever experienced before. It's been a little over a week since I stopped taking Lamisil, and all my symptoms have improved, but I'm still going to get my liver checked. This drug is POISON -- STAY AWAY FROM IT. | F | 43 | 45 days | 10/23/2007 | 3 | bumpy rash all over torso, arms and back. This just started a few days ago and I have been taking lamisil for about 3 weeks now. Calling Dr. in the am to see what I should do. This rash is very itchy and I scratch all the time. It's even on my hands. | F | 49 | 3 weeks | 10/7/2007 | 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 | 4 | Taking it for ringworm. | It caused nausea, dizziness, and after only 4 days of using the cream, I experienced great fatigue and mood swings. I have real dark circles under my eyes from fatigue, and sleep too much. Nasty metallic taste in mouth, but still taste foods ok. | I am not using the cream anymore. Only used it for 4 days, but the strange taste in my mouth and the fatigue and dizziness are warning signs of the onset of something worse. Thank God I didn't take the pills, and tried the cream first. It did a great job of clearing up the ringworm. Too bad the side effects are so bad. I wouldn't reccommend this product to anyone. If you can't taste anything, what good is life? Better to live with the fungus, as I see there are worse things that can happen. | F | 51 | 4 days | 10/2/2007 | 5 | toenail fungus | slight headache at beginning, couldn't drink alcohol, needed to drink more water than usual | it's three months or so since I stopped the Lamisil after a course of six months and nine of my toenails are normal - one, the worst, is not bad. I CAN WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES IN PUBLIC FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TEN YEARS! My liver tests were normal at all times. I want to remind people, though, don't touch alcohol while on this drug - I drank a single half glass of wine while on the drug and it was entirely the wrong thing to do. Also, remember that caffeine reduces the effects. I took my Lamisil and a single cup of coffee a day - at opposite ends of the day. | F | 49 | 6 months | 9/24/2007 | 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 | 4 | Toenail infection | None | Expensive in the United States | M | 42 | 2 months | 9/17/2007 | 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 | Ringworm | Loss of taste, Very salty mouth. | I was taking Terbinafine (Lamisil) for 4 weeks for ringworm. It must have been 6 weeks since I finished the course. It has left me with a very salty taste in my mouth and food tastes awful. I went back to the doctors and she gave me medication for oral thrush. It obviously wasn't thrush as that was almost 3 weeks ago and I have still got the awful taste in my mouth. This symptom really does make you deppressed. I wouldn't advise anybody to take this awful drug. An oral spray is helping me at the moment, it gives my taste buds something to taste. Has anyone got any idea how long it will take to get back to normal? | F | 50 | 4 weeks | 9/3/2007 | 3 | Toe Nail Fungus spread to 10 nails | I stopped at 70 days. My abodomen is sore, my tounge feels like is sort of numb, I've noticed in photos my eyes are watery, otherwise fine. | Some of my toe nails seem to be improving. The flakey skin on my feet has fully disappeared. I found that if I drank lots of water I felt better-I haven't had a drop of alcohol. I'm not sure if I will regret taking the Lamisil 2 weeks less than prescribed. If the toe nail fungus doesn't go away-I will try the sea salt remedy I read about on the internet. | F | 46 | 70 days | 8/26/2007 | 3 | toenail fungus (tested positive) | nausea,abdominal bloating, weight gain, fatigue | concerned that liver not tested until day 85 | F | 64 | 80 days | 8/25/2007 | 5 | fungus on my toe nails | Into my 2nd month, stomach pains a couple times, nothing major. My heart beating very fast(maybe 2 or 3 x's, but i suffer from panic attacks), so, I think its not from the drug. Nothing that I felt very alarmed at though. | I noticed a change(as crazy as it may seem), the very first week of taking it. My toes already look AMAZING. I am SO HAPPY. I could never show my toenails before, now I do. My husband never even knew what they looked like because I hid them from him at all times with socks on. I have been blessed to say that I haven't experienced the loss in taste or sweets. I'm addicted to sweets and still am. Maybe that would have been a blessing if it were lost(wink, wink). But honestly greatful and thankful that I haven't gone thru any horrible side effects as some have. I just recommend that people really question their doctors about everything, though honestly, i didn't, my brother took it, he was fine with it and so I did. Again, it's worth it for me, as I'm sure, it hasn't been for others. | F | 48 | 43 days | 8/20/2007 | 4 | Scalp Ringworm | None that I am fully aware of. I have a slight rash on my neck, but I'm not sure that it is from the Lamisil. I also have some itching in other parts of my body, again, not sure if that's the meds. | I was taking something called Gris for scalp ringworm. I was on it for 3 months but the ringworm was not clearing fast enough (I had bald spots and some of them had not grown much hair) so my dr. decided to put me on Lamisil. He checked my liver and kidneys and when they tested fine he prescribed the Lamisil. Its been 3 weeks (I had my liver tested again a week ago out of paranoia and it's fine) The spots are starting to show more signs of hair growth so I think that's a sign the Lamisil has helped take up where the Gris left off. I guess it's unusual for lamisil to be prescribed for scalp ringworm, but I wanted to post this because this had been the most frustrating experience I've gone through may help someone else to know they just have to be patient and hang in there. | F | 48 | 3 weeks | 8/18/2007 | 5 | Fungus on fingernails and toenails. | Slight fatigue. When I first took it I had some nausea, but I'm not sure if that was related to the lamisil. | I had suffered from fingernail fungus for ten years, which was not only unsightly but painful: my nails would catch on things and pull and bleed. Lamisil cleared it in eight weeks! My doctor didn't even advise a blood test, since it's recommended that you test after six months and I wasn't on the drug that long. Also, I don't drink at all, ever, so I was less worried about liver effects. | F | 33 | 8 weeks | 8/16/2007 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | In the beginning I had some minor chest pains but only for 2 days then disappeared. | Don't be afraid of taking this drug, it was tested for years on hundred's of thousands of individuals before coming out. "Changes in taste perception, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea, stomach upset, or vomiting. As your body adjusts to the drug terbinafine, these side effects should diminish or disappear." ~ as they did for me. Take it for more than a week or two before you make a decision to quit, it's definitely worth not having disgusting looking toe nails anymore (which I had for 5 years before taking the drug). I've already taken the drug for 4 weeks and plan on taking it for the remaining 8. Also I have drank alcohol one day out of each weekend (maybe 5-6 drinks the nights that I drank), and taken a blood test every 2 weeks since I started taking the drug which checked my liver enzymes. Each test resulted in a perfectly healthy liver. Good luck you guys. | M | 23 | 4 weeks | 8/2/2007 | 5 | toe nails on right foot | loss of taste for sweets, breads tasted weird | I can honestly say i am completely satisfied with my results. The nail matrix is growing in clear. I can see a BIG difference. This medicine is certainly not for everyone, it was worth it for me. | F | 24 | 3 months | 8/1/2007 | 1 | Fungal Toenails - Thick | Horrible, Horrible, huge welts all over trunk, stomach, arms, legs, face, neck shoulders - really bad. The doctor told me it was a really good medicine and she did not have any problems with patients who had taken it. I can't believe the lack of follow up and the fact that I was not told the possible ramifications. I have been vacinnated for Shingles and no mentioned the/a connection between Lamisil and Shingles. Some of these hives look like a combination of Shingles and Hives. I was prescribed with two oral medications and a topical cream. After one pill and several applications of the cream - no relief - the hives are climbing up my neck towards my chin - they are already on my face and all other parts of the body. I took this advice(take Lamisil) because I am pre-diabetic and concerned about nail infections etc. When I suggested Penlac the dermatologist said "Nothing works except Lamisil." | I would not recommend Lamisil to anyone! | F | 63 | 28 days | 7/31/2007 | 2 | toe nail fungus | loss taste after 6 weeks of taking lamsil,stop taking meds, i think i will wear socks not worth it, besides i have lupus and was told i should not be taking this med.also feel depressed | F | 54 | 6 weeks | 7/30/2007 |
