| 1 | nail fungus | loss of taste; dr. instructions were to take it for 1 week intervals the first of each month for 4 months. Stopped after the 2nd month due to loss of taste. It's been 2 1/2 weeks, no return of taste yet. Have a slight sense of taste on first bite, then it all seems to go away. No sense of taste at all on sweets. Weight loss. | Dr.'s response was that if I THOUGHT that that was causing the loss of taste to discontinue taking it. Sounds like he REALLY researched this drug, huh? | F | 50 | 14 days | 3/24/2006 | 4 | toe nail fungus | at first there were no side effects but after taking lamisil for about 30 days I started experiencing migrating pain from my hamstring and inner thigh through my knee joints and down to my ankle. The pain was not consistent in location or intensity but as a result was unable to go on hikes or walks without considerable pain. I took the drug for 3 months beginning in June and then stopped because the Doctor believed the dosage in my system was adequate to resolve the fungus in 4 of my toenails. During the period of pain I was unable to find any type of over the counter pain reliever that would help. I sought a Chiropractor thinking the pain in my leg was from a nerve pinch. Didn't help. Now after 6 months of being off lamisil my toenail fungus is almost completely gone and my leg pain has diminished to almost nothing. | No other side effects except the leg pain. Don't know if I would do it again. Sometimes the pain was so intense I would wake up in the middle of the night. | M | 58 | 90 days | 3/4/2006 | 1 | jock itch | metallic taste in my mouth and occasional obdominal pain. It made me do a website seach until I found something that would help me find out what was going on. I thought I had thrush(after reading about it) thought it was from drinking red wine, stress, I looked everywhere. When I saw all these similar statements, I felt like I found out what is wrong with me. THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LAMISIL MUST READ THESE AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IF I LOSE MY TASTE FOR LIFE OVER THIS, I WILL SLAP THE TASTE OUT OF THEIR MOUTH AND PUMP IN A FRESH NEW ONE FOR THEM...JOCK ITCH STYLE! | M | 30 days | 3/3/2006 | 1 | Toe nail fungus | After taking Lamicil for 18 days I suddenly had a very itchy rash on my hands, wrists, ankles, and feet. The same day I completely lost my sense of taste. I am so grateful for this web site, or I would not have figured out what was wrong with me. Lamicil's web site was no help and reported very few side effects, which is obviously WRONG!!. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. | F | 48 | 18 days | 2/26/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus | This is the second comment I have made. I stopped this poison months ago but still have itchy rash that goes into some submission if I take high dose of prednisone but to try and taper off of the prednisone the rash comes back, I have scars all over my body now from this horrible side effect of Lamisil....should be banned! | F | 52 | | 2/19/2006 | 3 | toenail fungus | Total loss of taste and my sense of smell is all messed up. Headaches too. Can't taste anything but(bananas)for some strange reason. AWFUL side effect. Also a terrible taste in my mouth. I was told my taste would come back if I lost it. I hope my DOC wasn't lying. | Seems to be slowly working. Would try topical medication first if I had it to do again. | F | 40 | 90 days | 2/10/2006 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Major headaches - to the point of not being able to function, blurry vision, loss of taste, upset stomach, depression | F | 25 | 30 days | 2/7/2006 | 2 | big toenail infection | Scared at what I'm hearing! After looking at other medicines, I found they have similar complaints. What are the statistics on liver/kidney problems caused by the drug? Are they rare? | M | 36 | 2 weeks | 2/2/2006 | 3 | thick toenails | no side affect other than , this might sound funny but it true, longer lasting during intercourse. sound strange but its true. | ill keep u guys informed | M | 53 | 30 days | 1/31/2006 | 1 | nail fungus | nausea, complele loss of taste, I'm very depressed at reading this site, I'm am very very worried, my doctor did not warn me, had I known of these side effects I would never have taken this drug | This drug should be banned | F | 49 | 6 days | 1/22/2006 | 5 | Toe Nail Fungus | For the first couple of days taking the Lamisil pill I experienced mild headaches and a local skin rash. Both cleared up within a week. Since then no side effects. | This is my 45th day (January 19, 2005) taking Lamisil. As per my doctors orders, for one week before I started the first day of therapy I completely cut coffee and alchohol from my diet and have also tried to get an extra hour of sleep. He told me the reason for both of these is to ease the workload on my liver. He also suggested cutting the nail back as far as I could in order to expose the residue beneath, and also rubbing the exposed residue on my toes with 99% rubbing achohol every night before going to bed in order to kill any spores on the surface. I have followed these instructions to the letter. Two weeks ago I had my follow up liver test and everything was ok. The fungus in my nails has actually started flaking away and my new nails have started growing out. For the first time in 20 years my feet are starting to look normal. 45 days to go.....I will let you know how it goes. Feel free to write back with any questions. | M | 44 | 45 days | 1/19/2006 | 5 | toenail infection | none | Brilliant - have recommended it to other people. Took it for 4 months and toe nails are now completely back to normal! | M | 52 | 4 months | 1/9/2006 | 1 | toenail fungus, skin fungus | I experienced loss of taste. | I would not recommend this medication to anyone! After doing much research I found the side effects much too risky to clear a cosmetic problem. I lost my taste during Thanksgiving and Christmas and was really angry. I contacted my physician and two seperate pharmacies and no one was able to tell me about this side effect which made me even more angry. | F | 28 | 27 days | 12/30/2005 | 1 | toe nail fungus | sudden loss of tase at 5 weeks | doctor told me this was safer than taking 1 tylenol a day! Have a blood test and if all is well start taking drug and take another blood test 30 days into drug. 2nd test was fine. Very soon after that taste loss occured. Had I realized this side effect I would not have taken the drug. Stopped taking lamisil 1 day ago and am awaiting taste to return. Hopefully it will return quickly. Unless the condition is extremely bad I would not recommend taking this. So glad I found this site. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to talk with me. | F | 44 | 5 weeks | 12/30/2005 | 4 | Toenail fungus, ringworm | Inability to lose weight, can't tolerate much alcohol. I also sheepishly submit that my morning stool has a strong, odd, pungent smell. | Had SEVERE athlete's foot and toenail fungus for nearly 20 years. Recently contracted ringworm as well. I'm now near the end of my 90-days of Lamisil AT tablets and ringworm is GONE, athlete's foot is GONE, toenails only slightly better but I understand it takes time for them to grow healthy. We'll see. Not sure yet if it's related to the Lamisil, but I'm active and I've ALWAYS been able to drop weight easily...15 pounds in a month was always a piece of cake...but haven't been able to drop ANY weight at all since starting on Lamisil. Doctor-scheduled liver tests show no abnormalities. At this point the benefits FAR outweigh temporary side effects!!! | M | 43 | 80 days | 12/28/2005 | 1 | toe fugul | Constant nausea, upset stomach,headaches for days,lose hair, vomiting, sleepy all the time, and ithy on the arms. | F | 48 | 3 weeks | 12/26/2005 | 5 | Toe fungus | none | Lamisil worked for me,no side effects within 6-9 months of taking my toes were completly clear of any fungus,100% improvement. | M | 44 | 3 months | 12/24/2005 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | After a couple of weeks I developed severe tension headaches. My doc didn't believe there was a connection, but as soon as I stopped taking the medication, the headaches stopped. I resumed and finished the perscription and they returned. I had the same side effects when I used the Lamicil cream for athlete's foot. | Lamicil did resolve the fungus problem completely. | M | 64 | 90 days | 12/1/2005 | 1 | toenail fungus | salty taste in mouth, food tastes terrible, especially chocolate. | stopped taking 2 weeks ago and the salty taste is going away but food still tastes funny, chocolate is still bad. wish I had been told about this side effect, this is much much worse then the toenail fungus. I have gone back to the topical treatment. This medication should be removed from the market! | M | 45 | 35 days | 11/29/2005 | 3 | Toe nail fungus | Not too sure if Lamsil is causing these symptons: I am suffering sensitivity and pain around the groin area,I am now on a course of antibiotics as my doctor feels its a urinary tract infection, the antibiotics seem to be making no difference and I would say the symptons are getting worse. I am hoping that Lamaisil tablets are not the cause of this. I wonder if anyone else has experienced these symptons on Lamisil. I have been taking the drug for over 5 weeks. | M | 45 | | 11/26/2005 |
