| 1 | toenail fungus | After taking Lamisil for about 6 weeks, developed a taste disturbance. I discontinued drug about 10 weeks ago but I still have a taste disturbance. Food and beverages have a bitter, salty taste. | The pharmacist where I purchased medication called the drug company and was told that 90% of the individuals who develop this side effect regain normal taste within 12 weeks of discontinuing the drug. I am concerned that my normal taste will come back. | F | 56 | 6 weeks | 2/7/2007 | 1 | toe nails | headaches,feeling like i am in a fog,feeling sad, crying,scratchy throat,runny nose,gas,woried fearful feeling | not worth it | F | 39 | 11 days | 1/27/2007 | 1 | toenails | Loss of apetite, disturbed sleep, "cotton" mouth, finally, headaches and almost complete loss of taste. | I have been on this drug for 39 days. Following the inital side effects, I was concerned, but figured the benefits outweighed the side effects; however, I have still not seen any improvement in my toenails, and it has beem almost six weeks. Finally, over the last 10 days, I have gradually lost the ability to taste, and today can taste nothing but sugar and sweet coffee. I cannot taste salt at all, so cannot cook! Having read the other entries on here, I have decided that enough is enough, and I shall cease taking this awful drug as of tomorrow! | F | 29 | 39 days | 1/3/2007 | 1 | toenail fungal infection | After taking drug for six weeks I suddenly lost all sense of taste. All food is now unpalatable, particularly any sweet or sugary ones. | I basically survive on hot soups which are easier to swallow. It is now 10 days since I stopped taking the drug and have had no noticeable improvement in my ability to taste. This drug is not worth the problems it has caused. | M | 65 | 45 days | 1/2/2007 | 3 | Toe Fungus | At the beginning, I got a headache (3 - 4 days at the start). I now have a terrible rash. It itches something fierce. No menstrual cycle. | I knew the possibility of the headache & the rash. I am not sure if Lamisil is to blame for my missed menstrual cycle. Did other women miss their cycle??? I've only been on it for 30 days. I haven't heard back from my doctor - so I am guessing to go off it for at least a few days due to the rash. | F | 44 | 30 days | 12/28/2006 | 4 | Athlete's Foot | Prickly Fingers & Thumbs, Tightness in lower back Muscles, itchy skin & Scalp, diminished Taste. | 30 250MG Tablets Prescribed by my Doctor for Athlete's Foot. Tried all the over the counter treatments, ie. Lotrimin, Clotrimazole & Desenex without any success, after 23 days fungus between my Toes has disappeared. | M | 71 | 23 days | 12/24/2006 | 3 | toenail fungus | moderate loss of taste after 10 weeks of taking the medication | I hadn't heard of this side effect until I researched it on the web. I was surprised to read all the comments about taste loss. The toenails seem to be clearing up. But I can't decide whether to discontinue the medication. I am somewhat relieved to have discovered the reason for the taste loss. I wanted to lose a few pounds and I did, but I have lost enough. | M | 65 | 10 weeks | 12/23/2006 | 5 | Toe nail infection on 3 toes | During the very last week of taking the 3 month supply, I developed shingles. | I saw improvement about three weeks after starting the medication. My doctor cut away the bad nail on my big toes in order to have the sample tested for fungus. It took a while to get new growth in. My doctor explained that the nail bed was healing and that the growth would go "down" - into the bed first, and then out - into the nail. My nails look great and I'm am pleased so far. The shingles were a bummer but it was a really mild case on my torso and I caught it very early. So, far all my liver scans have been good. | F | 44 | 90 days | 12/8/2006 | 1 | Fungus on right big toe | Gradual taste loss over 4 weeks resulting in complete loss. Styarted with sweets tasing funny. Then metallic taste. Then by the 70th day or so, no taste at all. | Talked to doctor yesterday; she was surprised that I though Lamisil might be responsible. I had to tell HER about the literature indicating taste loss. Anyway, she agreed and I quit the medication. As of today I can taste salt, bananas, and coffee. I'm hoping the recovery won't take long. Don't take Lamisil if you don't have to. | M | 32 | 75 days | 12/6/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | Taste loss, bitter taste in mouth all the time, mild depression, heavy & longer menstrual cycles, some hair loss, vivid & disturbing dreams, fatigue, muscle spasms, constipation | I took lamisil for 6 weeks before losing my taste buds. I stopped taking it as soon as I figured out the cause of all my problems. It took 6 weeks to get my taste buds back. It has been 8 weeks and I still can't taste sweets & I continue to have problems with my menstrual cycle as well as constipation. The metallic taste is not as bad as it was but it is still there. This medicine is poison plain and simple. | F | 31 | 49 days | 11/23/2006 | 1 | toe nail fungus | I have a salty, bitter taste after taking Lamisil for 6 weeks. I have been off the medicine for three weeks and my sense of taste is no better. It is really a miserable feeling. Has anyone gotten their taste back? How long did it take? | F | 46 | 6 weeks | 11/22/2006 | 1 | Fungal infection of toe nails | After 4 weeks of taking this i stopped because i lost my taste completely, everthing just tasted terrible. It has now been 4 weeks since i stopped and my taste is still pretty bad it is making me feel quite depressed. Other people who have lost their taste have told me it takes between a month and 3 months to come back. Has anybody been unlucky for their taste to have never come back? I am frightened that this might happen. The only good thing i can say about this is that it seemed to be working on my fungal infection, lets hope i took enough for it not to come back. | F | 51 | 4 weeks | 11/17/2006 | 3 | Foot Fungus | Stomach Pain and Weight Gain | I have not been on Lasisil long enough to know whether or not it is working on the fungus; I have, however, experienced severe stomach pain. The only way to subside the pain is to fill my stomach with food, hence the weight gain. I'm not sure what I think of Lamisil yet. We'll see if I can take it for the entire 90 days. | M | 28 | 20 days | 11/9/2006 | 5 | toe fungus | I took lamisil for the prescribed three months with absolutely no side effects. It worked very well for me and my toes look good but I imagine that it will take a while for my big toe to completely grow out and look perfect.My doctor send me for a liver blood test after a month to make sure that I had no side effects from the pill and all was okay. | I wonder if the drug companies are not robbing us blind. This medication is very expensive. Don't get scared by all the negative comments on this site. Try it out and if everything is okay keep taking the pills. They worked for me. | F | 65 | 3 days | 11/8/2006 | 5 | Toe nail fungus | loss of taste/hunger, mild back pain. | This cleared up my fungus in a month and my nails look great. I can finally go get a pedicure without being embarrassed. LAMISIL IS GREAT!!!!!! | F | 26 | 2 months | 11/7/2006 | 1 | Toenail fungal | All food taste awfully. Stopped eating pills after 5 weeks. Loosing taste may sound guite harmless, but it is not! Eating is not fun if all food have taste of sand or rubber. Worst are all dry and sour foords (fibre rich bread, youghurt etc.), best all unhealthy like fat and sugar. I have some taste in the top of my tongue. | M | 55 | 40 days | 10/24/2006 | 1 | "alledged toenail fungus" | After about 30 days, I experienced total taste distortion. Nothing tastes good, have lost weight and have discontinued Lamisil on the advice of my new Podiatrist. I Would not have taken Lamisil if I had known about taste distortion. I believe the company has downplayed this side effect to the detrimant of patients. I have now learned it could take over three years for my taste to return, if ever! This medication should not be on the market - it is horrible! I have never experienced anything like this, I am devastated by this experience. | In my opinion, Novartis Pharmaceuticals has not acted responsibly and not dedicated enough research to the contraindications of this medication! Apparently a majority of physicians prescribing this medication have not done their homework! I'm thinking legal action should be involved! | F | 61 | 60 days | 10/24/2006 | 1 | toe nail fungus | hives all over body, swelling on one side of my face; developed within hours of taking one pill | F | 24 | 1 days | 10/12/2006 | 1 | | 10/9/2006 | 5 | Fingers, toes | Anxiety/depression; gastro-intestinal distress; light-headedness; need to sleep | The doctor prescribed one pill per day. That dosage wrecked me. I went off the medicine after a week and felt better after another 2 days. Went on again for two days, off for two days, like that. The doctor said no problem, because it's a slow-release medicine and works over time. So I thought, why not try half a pill every day. That was better, regarding side effects. Then I decided, half a pill every three days. The nails grew out clear and I don't get the side-effects. | M | 57 | 4 months | 10/7/2006 |
