| 3 | toenail fungus | frequent stomach ache; headaches; eye irritation | No warnings from doctor. Nurse advised that occasional, light drinking is OK. ? | F | 37 | 30 days | 5/18/2006 | 2 | loss of taste...like all the others...food tastes like cardboard. | So far I am dealing well with the lack of taste. Decided to use this time to eat healthy...and exercise a lot. I didn't realize how much my day used to revolve around my taste buds!!Only scary thing is if the taste never returns. Does anyone know when it comes back? | F | 49 | 55 days | 5/18/2006 | 2 | toenail fungus | loss of taste...like all the others...food tastes like cardboard. | So far I am dealing well with the lack of taste. Decided to use this time to eat healthy...and exercise a lot. I didn't realize how much my day used to revolve around my taste buds!!Only scary thing is if the taste never returns. Does anyone know when it comes back? | F | 49 | 55 days | 5/18/2006 | 5 | Nail Fungus | I really didn't experience any major side effects. | Lamisil worked great for me. I took it for 90 days and after completing the medicine I started to see results. I had fungus on 7 of my 10 toes and all but my 2 big toes have completely grown back healthy. The 2 big toes are almost there. I recommend this for anyone who has nail fungus and no serious illnesses. I understand people are experiencing problems and side effects but everyone is different and it works differently with each person. Dont bad the drug just because it doesnt work for you. | F | 31 | 90 days | 5/17/2006 | 3 | nail and foot fungus | i had only one side effect--INSOMNIA. This drug made mefeel like I was on speed. Tons of energy, couldnt sleep. I had to reduce. First I cut tablet in half, then fourths, finally eighths. If i take more than i/8 of a tablet I cannot sleep 8 hours. I have read all postings and do not see one single other person affected in this way. But i tested, on and off and there is no doubt--lamisil works like speed for me. BTW, yes, my taste also reduced, but mildly. However I am now on 1/8th. I wonder if it can cure fungus at this low dose or if I should just forget it? | took off and on for about 3-4 months | F | 42 | 3 months | 5/6/2006 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Always tired. | I began taking these pills and after 5 days, I couldn't stay awake at all. I did some research on the net and found some natural solutions. I file my the top of my nails at least once a week until I get to the fungus. Each day I soak my feet in Hydrogen Peroxide. After that, i soak my feet once more in Apple Cider Vinegar, dry them and topically apply Oil of Oregano in the morning and once again in the afternoon. To avoid the side effects, I ground up the Lamisil pills and mixed them with a little water and applied this topically at night. Hey, I'm no doctor, but this is working for me. It seems as if the fungus is just disappearing. Not even growing out in the form of a new nail, just disappearing. I think that it's mostly the natural remedies that are curing me and it may even be a waste of the pills to grind them up, but I didn't want to throw them away. Talk to the doctor before you do this, but for me the natural way works the best, and there are zero side effects. Good | M | 26 | 30 days | 4/30/2006 | 1 | nail fungus | loss of tatse | After 3 1/2 weeks of Lamisil, I lost my taste. Everything tastes like clay. I have a constant salty taste in my mouth. I have been able to eat scrambled eggs, italian wedding soup and plain crockpot chicken. I have been drinking Ensure for lunch as to not lose more weight(already lost 4lbs). I have been off Lamisil for a week and still no change. If I had known about this side effect, I would have never taken the drug. I hope that I can taste my toothpaste in the morning. I don't know how many more weeks I can live like this. | F | 31 | 24 days | 4/26/2006 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Stomach cramps, diarrhea/flatus, very low energy, headaches, dizziness, altered taste perception, poor concentration, very sluggish in the AM | So glad I'm not the only one with these symptoms. Thought there was something wrong with me. My symptoms began at 6 weeks in the order listed and increased in severity. I am now on week 9 and will discontinue my treatment. I wish I would have visited this site before starting this med. | F | 36 | 9 weeks | 4/26/2006 | 5 | Toenail fungus | Cotton mouth, suicidal thoughts, unexplained episodes of euphoria, pain while urinating, violent episodes, and a tinge of indigestion. | Works best when mixed with pain killers and vodka...but then again, doesn't everything? My wife and kids left me, my boss fired me, and my life is in shambles. On the bright side, I can wear open toed footwear now. Completely worth it! | M | 33 | 90 days | 4/25/2006 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Stomach cramps and bloating | I stopped taking this medicine after 4 days! The stomach cramps were unbearable, and I think I'd rather live with a nail fungus than suffer 90 days of this. I found this site because I was researching what side effects may be, as I was told that this medicine was WELL TOLERATED! Not according to anyone on this site! I was shocked to see how many OTHER side effects were reported by users, that I had not been told of. I think this stuff should be off the market. | F | 32 | 4 days | 4/22/2006 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Got taste loss after about 3 weeks. Taste loss lasted for almost a month, but did come back. I stopped taking medicine immediately upon taste loss. Toe nail fungis did go away though, and like I said, taste is back. | Be careful, are pretty toes worth liver damage and taste loss? In retrospect I probably would not have taken it... but I didn't get any permanent problems from it. | M | 30 | 4 weeks | 4/18/2006 | 5 | Toenail fungas | Inability to loose weight. Normally would have no problem when calorie intake was restricted so was wondering if other people were having this same problem? | It appears that it did clear up my infection--finally! Look forward to my nail growing out and returning to normal. It is worth taking it, but would like more information on the possible weight gain. | F | 51 | 112 days | 4/11/2006 | 2 | For toenail fungus | Upset stomach, diarrhea, flatulence. Onychomycosis was only cleared up fully in one toenail. 1.5-2 years later, diagnosed with Celiac Disease (stomach reaction to gluten, found a lot in wheat products). Side effects of Celiac Disease: poor digestion, diarrhea, flatulence, severe rash. | For the price of this medication, I expected the fungus would be cleared up in both toes. Since starting Lamisil, I have continued the upset stomach and diarrhea side effects and have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Can't make 100% correlation but timing and symptoms are all too similar. | M | 23 | 3 months | 4/9/2006 | 5 | toenail fungus | Horrible taste in mouth, and nausea | The first time I took Lamisil, I suffered NO side effects. Unfortunately, my MD didn't inform me that I had to go another 30days after the first. The fungus came back. The second time I started treatment, my taste was all out of whack. (and I love food! LOL) The taste in my mouth got so bad, and I got so frustrated, I had to stop. I noticed a HUGE improvement in my one affected toenail though. I'm contemplating taking it agian though because I really hate the fungus. Even the word makes me sick! | F | 37 | 45 days | 4/7/2006 | 4 | Toe Nail Fungus | At first, a slight metallic taste - then, tar-like stools, gas | The main problem I experienced was gastro-intestinal problems - constipation, tar-like stools & gas. However, the treatment worked! My nail infection was moderate - but half way thru the 90 day treatment I could see the nails clearing - and now, three months after ending treatment my nails are completely clear! I'm no longer ashamed to go barefooted & I'm being careful to prevent reinfection. Also, the stomach problems slowly cleared up within two months after ending treatment. It has been worth it. | M | 45 | 90 days | 4/6/2006 | 2 | Toenail fungus | Gradual loss of taste over 30 days. Sweets tasted horrible. | Doctor said he doubted it was the drug but when I persisted he looked it up and said there was a slight indication. I stopped the drug at that point. Wish I had known about this Web site - I wouldn't have worried so much. About the only thing I could stand eating was spicy meat - beef slathered with horseradish or hot wings (and I don't normally eat anything spicy!). Taste returned gradually over 30 days after I stopped the drug. Up side -- I lost 12 pounds!! | F | 62 | 30 days | 4/6/2006 | 1 | Toe nail fungal infection | HORRIFIC SIDE-EFFECTS. Hives which covered all my body apart from neck and face, followed by skin peeling. The peeling was literally like stripping wallpaper (not just holiday sunburn)and also affected my whole body apart from face and neck. This lasted for weeks and I could hardly use my hands or walk as the soles of my feet were also covered in the rash. My ankles and feet became very swollen and I was unable to wear shoes. I was referred to a specialist at the hospital. This all went on for approx 8 weeks and just as the symptoms were starting to improve, I got shingles. The specialist said it was probably due to the sress and confirmed that the symptoms were an allergic reaction to the Lamisil. To make things worse the hospital took a nail sample and I didn't even have fungal infection!! The problem has now cleared up by itself. | This drug is VERY DANGEROUS and should be banned. | F | 52 | 9 days | 4/5/2006 | 5 | Toenail fungus | Weight gain and inability to lose, whereas normally I can drop 10 pounds without too much trouble. Otherwise, no side effects at all, and the weight thing is well offset by the benefits! | I am thrilled. I just finished my 12 weeks of taking daily Lamisil, and my two big toes are starting to look normal for the first time in 40 years. This stuff is amazing. I can't wait for warm weather so I can wear sandals! | F | 66 | 3 months | 4/4/2006 | 5 | Toe fungus | None at all.....none...nada...nein...zilch! | This really works well. Only 6 more days to go. Tough staying on it for 90 days with no beer! That's the hardest part, no alcohol! But hey, well worth it! My toenail is clearing up quite nice. No side effects of any kind. I highly recommend it! | M | 41 | 84 days | 3/28/2006 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | Started losing my ability to taste anything sweet after about 30 days. I called my doctor and he assured me it would be temporary. By 6 weeks I had lost almost all sense of taste and have a constant metallic taste in my mouth. I stopped taking it on my own 4 days ago and so far nothing has changed. | If I had been warned of the side effects, I would have never taken Lamisil. Clearly the company is misrepresenting the potential side effects, especially as it pertains to loss of taste. | M | 46 | 45 days | 3/27/2006 |
