| 4 | great toe small fungus infection | it was a relief to understand why my sense of taste was gone,and I was dizzy, i was worried I had a brain tumor! It was not stated loudly on the pharmacy's list of possible side effects but a major dissatisfier as any one could imagine. The MD said to stop. thank god. It was encouraging to hear it will return, even though I'll have to wait. My toe,however,looks better. | F | 41 | 9 weeks | 10/6/2006 | 5 | All toenails infected | 3rd Month so far so good | My doctor prescribed an unusual form of taking this medication. I take 1 250MG tablet a day for ten days, then nothing for 20 days and start over again for 9 months. I like this because it is easier for me to afford the 10 pills a month. But so far it is working great!! No side effects so far that I know. and my toes are clearing up and looking very healthy. I was scared to take this medication after all I read, but figured I would monitor my health very carefully while taking this. I took pictures of my toenails before and every month and man what a difference!! Good Luck! | M | 34 | 3 months | 10/5/2006 | 1 | toe nail fungus | After taking 59 Lamicil tablets, I wondered if it was causing the constant, horrible salty taste in my mouth. I called my doctor and asked if that was possible, she said salty taste in mouth wasn't a side effect of Lamisil, so I told her about this website. Thank you so much for this website! It gave me information my doctor did not! I told her I was going off of Lamisil. It did affect my liver after the first month, and I suspect it caused my minor headaches and bleary vision. The good news is the terrible salty taste went away after about 1 month. I still have the toe nail fungus, and am treating it with Tea Tree Oil, Apple Cider Vinegar and Peroxide. | I would not recommend it to anyone, and wonder if doctors are paid to prescribe it! My dermatologist said there were no other antifungus medications on the market, and Lamisil was the only medication that would kill the toe nail fungus. | F | 58 | 59 days | 9/29/2006 | 1 | toe fungus | Metalic taste in mounth. Loss of appetite, lost 10 lbs. in 4 days, had to force to eat. Seizure like symptoms, loss of sleep, developed signs of liver damage (bruise in base of foot) but went away after Bikrim Yoga liver compression pose. Fatique, rapid heart rate,it almost killed me. ER dx with: "Palpitation, PSVT (rapid heart rate), Mild hyperbilibubinemia secondary to Lamisil use." Basically means mild liver damage. | Lamisil is a very dangerous medication. The problem is that there are few people that will get serious side effects but you dont know if you are any of those people. I am certainly one who should have not taken it. I would never take any meds after these unless I do research. I rather go the homiopathic way. It has taken time for me to recover. I've had loss of wages and at this point dont know if have permanent damage. | F | 41 | 4 days | 9/25/2006 | 4 | Toe and Fingernail Fungus | Every day I feel like I have a hang-over to some degree. Some days it's mild, occasionally it's overwhelming, to the point that I skip a day's treatment. I do feel awful all the time, my life has suffered because of it (bad family relatons, no exercise). But it is working- fantastically! I hope I can last another 32 days. | Results are to the point that I think I could stop now and be cured, but I am going to try to last out the last month to make sure I am cured. It is truly pure hell (I don't think I would do it again), but I am so close now, if my health is not jeopardized, I think it's worth finishing. | M | 56 | 58 days | 9/20/2006 | 5 | Toenail fungus (big toe) | I had frequent urination for about the first month. No other side effects. | I have tried every topical treatment from "natural" treatments to prescription topicals for the last 10 years. In just over 2 months, the nail fungus has almost completely disappeared and is being replaced by a healthy nail. The infected part of the nail became brittle after 30 days so I had to cut it back. That has actually helped my nail grow back healthier faster. Liver test was taken before starting and at 8 weeks...completely normal. | F | 35 | 67 days | 9/18/2006 | 4 | Severe Toenail Fungus | I have been taking Lamisil for 55 days and experienced severe taste loss for past 10 days. I have seen significant improvement in toenail health and loss of all pain. I am going to discontinue due to the taste loss. | If taste loss is temporary, the benefit of the drug outweighs the negative. I have seen nothing here that says the taste loss is permanent. | M | 49 | 55 days | 9/15/2006 | 1 | tonail fungus | After 30 days severe taste disorder - in the last week progressively worse - discontinued use 9.12.06. The taste is a salty metalic - everything tastes disgusting. | Recommend thoroughly understand possible side effects before taking this drug. | F | 45 | 37 days | 9/12/2006 | 1 | Ringworm | I took this medicine for 4 weeks and about a week after I stopped taking it I noticed I had lost my sense of taste. I quit taking it on 8-21-06 and it is now 9-11-06 and I still am waiting for my taste to return. | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE. I would much rather still have ringworm. I have lost weight and I am hungry all the time and I can't eat. My doctor did not even know loss of taste was a side effect and she did all kinds of tests (bloodwork and MRI of my brain) and she finally agreed, after I had told her about what I had found on this website, that I lost my taste from Lamisil. She had me all worried about a brain tumor pressing on my pituitary gland. Please tell me this is just temporary because I cannot live like this. How can I get in touch with the manufacturer of this drug? | F | 35 | 4 weeks | 9/11/2006 | 1 | nail fungus | daily headaches, anxiety, depression, salty, metallic taste in mouth all after about a month on lamisil. | Would never reccommend this drug after experiencing the unwanted side effects. I'll paint my toenails thank you very much! Had I known about all the possible side effects, never would have taken it in the first place. More information needs to be available on the side effects!!!!!! | F | 42 | 5 days | 9/5/2006 | 3 | Big toe fungus from injury | On the drug for 21 days, starting to have some severe tingling in both hands and feet but not at the same time. It starts in on of my hand, then stop and move to the other one. On the 21st day I thought it might be the drug. Now I have read the reviews it is definitely. I am very very worried. | Not sure if the medicine will work since I just started. Any advice? | F | 42 | 21 days | 8/30/2006 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Very blurry vision, especially with bright light. Have black spots in vision. This is after 3 weeks taking the drug. I stopped taking, then the blurryness cleared up but still slight dark spots. 3 days after stopping now and they slight black spots almost gone. Anyone else have this? | M | 33 | 21 days | 8/18/2006 | 1 | Nail Fungus | I was given one pill today & a Rx for 7 free tablets. Six hours later I was in agony. Hives, swelling on face & neck. As I sit here my face feels tight. We women are lucky. Nail polish goes a long way. If I were not a diabetic I would not have even tried this. I'm just not that vain. Because of breast cancer drugs I had to take Effexor. That was hell going on & coming off. The fewer drugs in this world the better!! | F | 60 | 1 days | 8/16/2006 | 5 | toenail fungus | absolutely none | just completed a four month regimen. toenail fungus on all ten toes. i saw a difference within just a few weeks, and my toenails are almost normal now after many years of yellow, flakey, embarrassing nails as bad as any i've seen on the internet. lamisil has been a godsend. | M | 39 | 114 days | 8/11/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | Slight depression (which is unusual), then followed by severe hives for 2 days. D/c med and then severe joint pain in both arms and hands. Skin is very sensitive, continuous rash popping up here and there. | I was on the drug for 23 days. I have now been off of it for 8. The hives were horrible, I felt like I was crawling out of my skin. Now dealing with severe joint pain - feels as if I have arthritis. I`m typing this with my right hand only, due to the severe pain in my left wrist. The joint pain is random - really painful for a few hours in one place, resolves itself and then comes back in another place. Taking 800mg Ibuprofen and Voltaren,,...hoping this will help. Terrible drug,..b/c of such a sudden onset the doctors believe it`s related....currently awaiting lab results. All this for nice nails....FORGET IT, NOT WORTH IT! | F | 34 | 23 days | 8/8/2006 | 5 | | 8/7/2006 | 3 | toenail fungus | Nausea, abdominal pain, headaches, taste loss, fatigue, slight depression, backache, waking up in the middle of the night with a burning sensation in my stomach | Became concerned that the pain I was feeling in my abdomin was a "return/episode" of diverticulitis...then felt like maybe I had an ulcer...never told not to consume alcohol - attended a family reunion and drank - felt worse. | F | 41 | 30 days | 8/4/2006 | 3 | toenail fungus | I've been taking lamisil for 60 days. 30 days into taking it I developed a constant pain in the upper left arm that has continued for the past 30 days and I hope it will stop when I stop taking the drug. | It is clearing up the toenail fungus. | F | 39 | 60 days | 8/1/2006 | 1 | toe nail fungus | shingles | My GP went out of his way to get a dermatologist to prescribe this as eight of my toenails were fungal. After 10 weeks of taking the pill, I developed shingles. My white blood cell count had dropped very low, but the dermatologist didn't consider that a warning sign and didn't care about my blistering forehead. I had to go to the emergency center for treatment. Four years later my forehead is badly scarred and still itches. I took all but three of 90 pills and four toenails are still infected. Do not take this medication. | M | 46 | 11 weeks | 7/30/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | drug-induced hepatitis | My 74-year old mother took lamisil for approx. 34 days. Her liver function tests were completely normal immediately prior to starting the drug and she had no prior history of liver problems. Once she started lamisil, however, she progressively became more and more ill, initially with flu-like symptoms. She discontinued the drug and, when she had repeat liver function tests performed, it turned out that her values were through the roof. She's been off the drug for approximately 8 weeks, but her alkaline phosphatase is still well above normal. (Her other values are finally in the normal range.) She has suffered, and continues to suffer, from loss of appetite (w/significant weight loss), severe exhaustion, nausea, chills, itchy skin and bowel problems as a result of the drug. Her internist has diagnosed her with drug-induced hepatitis. As icing on the cake, the lamisil didn't even cure the toenail fungus. This is a dangerous drug that should be removed from the market. | F | 74 | 34 days | 7/22/2006 |
