| 1 | toe fungus | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG.....VERY VERY DANGEROUS....My wife took this drug and was hospitalized for 2 weeks. Just about killed her. Effected her liver and immune system. It has been about 4 yrs. now and she is still having problems associated with this killer drug. | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG if you value your health or life. | M | 59 | | 7/12/2007 | 5 | bad nail Fungus on Toes and fingers | I cannot say that I had any effects that I have noticed specificly. Maybe that I had got a drier mouth. | One thing that I have been very strict about is not to drink ANY alcohol during this time. This is a tough drug for your liver, so I rather stay off my beers then get a messed up liver. Will stay of alcohol for a few weeks after I'm done as well. only have a few weeks to Go. I'm VERY happy about my results. I had nails faling off my fingers and they hurted like hell, now 2 month into my treatment, my nails are coming back and I'm very pleased with the result so far. It is an expensive treatment, but I guess I got my money back from not drinking, so I guess I'm even on that matter. | M | 35 | 10 weeks | 7/11/2007 | 4 | Toenail fungus | I have been on Lamisil for 6 weeks. The first two days, I felt somewhat nausea, by the third day it had subsided. Since then I haven not experience any other side effect as noted in the other comments. I also have been getting monthly blood work as prescribed by my MD. I have another 6 weeks to go. | M | 40 | 6 weeks | 7/3/2007 | 5 | toenail fungus | slight change in taste and inability to lose weight even while dieting | My thick and yellow toenails had looked horrible for years and had to constantly be painted in order to wear sandals. My sense of taste did change slightly and still has not completely returned to normal after not taking the medicine for a month. I do believe it was well worth it because my nails are almost completely normal even though it is supposed to take up to a year to completely grow in new nails. I can go get a pedicure now.....but I don't recommend it because you can get an infection there too! Many are not as lucky as I have been and have had serious side effects. It is definitely a risk but it worked for me! | F | 34 | 3 months | 6/28/2007 | 1 | toenail fungus | terrible itching, primarily in palms and feet. went to a new dr and after tons of tests discovered my liver was out of wack as a result of the Lamisil. The perscribing dr never gave me a blood test nor warned me of the possible side effects. Wish I knew about this website sooner. | Wouldn't use ever again or recommend. | F | 38 | 33 days | 6/28/2007 | 4 | Toenail Fungus | When I first started the drug I felt like my heart was racing along with some mild headaches. That was about it has far has side effects go. I had my liver function test every month to make sure everything was fine. I have been off the pills for a month and have noticed my new toenails growing in, however one of the toes looks like the fungus is coming back.. | M | 34 | 90 days | 6/27/2007 | 3 | toenail fungus | taste disturbances, and a little sickly all over | I've been taking it for over 7 weeks. I havent been sick for over two years, but suddenly I've become very susceptible to getting minor colds, flu bugs, recurring UTIs ... For the past week I have noticed that my taste is off in the morning. It lasts for about two hours and then goes back to normal. Like everyone else here, it's some sort of metal taste. Pretty unfavorable. I've decided to hang in there. I have another 5 weeks to go and if nothing else is going to add to the current discomfort then it's worth the effort in my opinion. What I read, the taste will return. I've done a liver function test and it was normal. I'm more than willing to stick it out. | F | 33 | 7 weeks | 6/22/2007 | 2 | Nail fungus | HUSBAND IS TAKING LAMISIL NOW, GETTING DISTURBING FATIGUE AND INTESTINAL DISTRESS, AND THE FUNGUS IS NOT CLEARING UP. HE IS STUBUBORN-MINDED, HOWEVER, THERE IS A REMEDY THAT WORKS AND DOES NOT REQUIRE TAKING MEDICATIONS. (SEE COMMENTS) | AN ELDERLY RETIRED PHARMACIST SUGGESTED AN OLD REMEDY: DIP THE INFECTED TOE(S) INTO PURE (UNDILUTED) BLEACH, COUNT TO FIVE, AND LIFT IT OUT. PAT THE EXCESS BLEACH OFF AND LET THE TOE AIR-DRY. FOLLOW-UP DAILY BY TAKING A STRIP OF COTTON FROM A COTTON BALL, SATURATE IT WITH RUBBING ALCOHOL, AND TUCK IT UNDER THE NAIL, AROUND THE CORNER AND DOWN THE SIDES OF THE NAIL, PRESSING IT BETWEEN THE NAIL AND THE SKIN AS FAR AS YOU CAN. LEAVE IT THERE UNTIL YOUR NEXT SHOWER, THEN REPLACE IT. THE BLEACH DIPS MAY NEED TO BE DONE MORE THAN ONCE IF THE INFECTION IS SEVERE OR WIDE-SPREAD. ONCE IT'S UNDER CONTROL, TO PREVENT RE-OCURRENCE, YOU'LL ONLY NEED TO DAB ALCOHOL ON THE TOE (UNDER AND AROUND THE NAIL); LET DRY, THEN APPLY TOPICAL LAMISIL UNDER AND AROUND THE NAIL AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TINGLING OR 'ODD' SENSATION. FUNGUS WILL NOT GROW AND WILL NOT BOTHER YOU AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THIS TIME-PROVEN METHOD. I KNOW IT WORKS. MY HUSBAND IS READY TO GIVE IT A TRY NOW THAT THE ORAL MEDICATION IS CA | F | 10 days | 6/20/2007 | 1 | toenail fungus | I only took for two days before I gave up. I was unbelievably dizzy from the very beginning. I can tolerate the ugly toes better than I can deal with feeling like that. I checked my blood pressure on the day after the second dose, and it was higher than it had ever been. | The weight loss comments almost make me want to try taking it again. | F | 41 | 2 days | 6/16/2007 | 1 | toenail fungus | nasty taste in mouth; food tastes awful; everything tastes like baking soda; water feels slimy and tastes salty-not refreshing; hard to find anything that tastes good | I will never take this again | F | 52 | 7 weeks | 6/15/2007 | 1 | fungal infection | Dull pain both sides of lower back,felt like my kidneys were inflamed and was worse when I was lying down.Feeling of extreme fatigue , one hour after rising I had to have a 1/2 hours sleep to make me feel human and at the end of the working day it took a great effort to walk the distance of one mile to my car. | This is a powerful drug which was prescribed to me by a dermatologist and I am concerned after reading other comments regarding side effects that I was never warned that there may be serious adverse effects. If in any doubt during the course of the treatment contact your doctor immediately. Treat with caution!!!!! | M | 64 | 30 days | 6/11/2007 | 2 | Toenail fungus | The initial week I had a two day severe onset of hives which were stopped by a shot in the butt and a week of prednisone. At 7 weeks I experienced a complete loss of taste, everything tastes gross/metallic taste. Headaches every day. Extreme bloating. | Thank God I saw this website because my doctor has not had my blood tested for liver function, and she does not attribute either my hives or my loss of taste to this drug, but I do. Have stopped it immediately upon loss of taste. I will deal with the toenail fungus. The side effects are not promoted! | F | 46 | 49 days | 6/7/2007 | 3 | Great toe nail fungus | I've only been taking it 3 weeks - no obvious side effects except constipation. | After reading this site, I think I'll discontinue before things get worse. I have a minor fungul infection (or whatever it is) so it may not be worth it. | F | 42 | 3 weeks | 6/6/2007 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | None. | No side effects at all. I had liver checked at end of month 1 and 2. I took it for 3 months then skipped a month and took another month on for a total of 4 months. It is now 8 months later and the fungus is completely gone! Don't expect it to be gone when you are done the pills - it takes time after you are done the pills to see effects. | M | 34 | 4 months | 6/5/2007 | 1 | toe fungus | ps....i forgot to add. my mother also had rash and peeling skin all over her body, which never itched like crazy and left scars. | F | 43 | 2 weeks | 6/5/2007 | 1 | toe fungus | My mother took lamisil for toe fungus infection 4 years ago at the age of 76. She was never giving a blood test/liver test as required. After a couple weeks being on the medicine, she became jaundice. She had a cold when she noticed the jaundice starting, so didn't know it was from the medicine. About a week later she was on her death bed. Her eyes were so jaundice, they looked like yellow neon lights and could not hold her head up. My mom being a fighter, pulled threw, but has a messed up liver and had aged tremdously after this allergic reaction. | please re-consider using this medicine. or use extreme caution, be sure you have a blood test prior to use. If I can prevent this from happening to just one person...this comment was well worth it. | F | 43 | 2 weeks | 6/5/2007 | 3 | Jock Itch | Thirst. Initially very groggy and tired yet anxious. Side effects began to subside about 5 days into it though | Fungus going away, but I was also using a cream. For the past 2 years creams on their own didn't eliminate thefungus. The itch would seem to go away but come back shortly thereafter. This treament seems to be working. I would way rather not take it but when a cheesegrater is your only other option to cure the itch, then sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. | M | 31 | 2 weeks | 6/2/2007 | 2 | Toe nail Fungus | metallic taste and eyes constantly watering | F | 64 | 21 days | 5/31/2007 | 2 | toenail fungus | Developed shingles within one week of stopping medication. Metalic taste. | Nails appear to be fungus free. | M | 43 | 90 days | 5/27/2007 | 1 | Fungal infection on feet | Metalic and salty taste. Food tastes like cardboard. Water tastes awful. Lost 10 pounds already. Rash that itches on hands, feet, chest, back, arms, hands. Loose stools past two days. Took only 45 days of Lamisil tabs. | The Dr. said this medicine was no worse than taking a Tylenol every day. Bull S---! I do not think anyone should take this pill. A class action lawsuit might make the manufacturer take it off the market. Don't take this medication. Live with the fungus | F | 65 | 45 days | 5/24/2007 |
