| 1 | toenail fungus | After 3 weeks I got a rash and major taste problems: food tastes metallic and bitter and I have a constant salty taste in my mouth.It has been 1 month since discontinuing,and there is no improvement. | The drug is worse than the condition it is supposed to cure -I wish I had never taken it!How long will it take for my taste to return to normal? | F | 53 | 21 days | 11/10/2005 | 4 | toe nail fungus | None so far. | New growth looks healthy as it comes in from the base of each nail. However, the fungus area is now turning blue black in color. I hope this indicates death of the fungus. Don't know yet because have not finished taking the meds yet. | F | 62 | 60 days | 10/29/2005 | 3 | Ringworm skin infection | Depression, anxiety. Having looked at this and other websites, I do think the tablets have something to do with it, though I have been prone to depression in the past (10 years ago). | It is clearing the infection, but had depression been listed as asidede effect, I would have given the herbal remedy I tried longer to work... | M | 30 | 2 weeks | 10/28/2005 | 1 | Nail Fungus | Stomachache | I've only taken this drug for one day, and I have a persistent pain in my stomach, not like indigestion, but a tightness. Has anyone experienced side-effects this quickly? Is this a sure precursor to more serious problems? | F | 32 | 1 days | 10/26/2005 | 1 | toenail fungus | After 7 weeks a sudden loss of taste, especially sweet foods taste bland and chalky. Off the medicine for 1 week and still no sense of taste, only a bitter, sour, and metalic taste at all times. I would not have taken this medicine had I researched it first. | Beware of this medicine! | F | 43 | 7 weeks | 10/25/2005 | 1 | toenail fungus | Loss of taste after 7 weeks, constant metal-salty taste | Not worth the loss of taste. Stopped lamisil four weeks ago, salty metal taste is as strong as ever. Do not take this drug! | F | 53 | 7 weeks | 10/20/2005 | 1 | Nail infection | Complete loss of taste at day 10 | You would not know how depressing losing your sense of taste is until it happens to you. Starting taking Lamisil 29 days ago. Complete loss of taste since about the 10th day of taking it. Still taking it and hoping taste comes back soon. No improvement to nails yet. | M | 36 | 29 days | 10/15/2005 | 1 | Toenail fungus | Complete loss of taste after taking the drug only 3 weeks. I stopped taking it after that and it is 6 months later and still no taste. | I have not only lost 30 pounds, but also some quality of life. Before taking this drug, consider the possibility of not being able to taste your favorite food or even enjoy a dinner celebration at your favorite restaurant. Any enjoyment from eating no longer exists. No toenail fungus is worth this and I still have it since I had to quit the medication. I am told that the taste loss could be permanent given the length of time it has been. | M | 41 | 3 weeks | 10/11/2005 | 1 | long standing nail fungus | Altered taste perception at 5 weeks. Scary!!! Found this website trying to find info about the side effect. Up to 2 years for taste to come back? Forget it. I'm off of it today. | Seems like a lot of taste disturbance side effects are to be found here. In all fairness to the drug, keep in mind that most people posting here are only the ones who have had problems. People with no side effects are not searching for answers about lamisil on the web. | F | 52 | 5 weeks | 10/4/2005 | 1 | Athlete's foot for 20 years | Took Lamisil for 30 days. Athlete's foot cleared up. Several months after drug, I had elevated readings on liver tests. Had liver tests every three months since and 18 months later they have not yet returned to normal range. Not sure if the Lamisil and the liver are connected but many associate Lamisil with liver harm. | Now 18 months since taking Lamisil for 30 days. Athlete's foot has just returned. Not as severe as before but maybe I will be back to where I started. | M | 44 | 30 days | 9/26/2005 | 1 | toe nail fungus | Horrible salty taste is constant after taking the drug for about 1 month. No sense of sweet and tongue feels numb to foods. Even rinsing with mouthwash does not rid mouth of foul taste. | F | 49 | 1 months | 9/5/2005 | 1 | Toe Fungas | After taking Lamisil for one month and 3 weeks, I started loosing taste for food. Things started tasting rotten and salty. I first thought it might have been from some dental work, but it was not. After not eating for eight days, I was finally hospitalized. I lost a total of 16 pounds. They could not figure out what was wrong with me, as I kept saying it has to be from some dental work. I am home now and started reading some comments from this web site and found that a lot of you have the metallic, foul, salty taste in your mouth. I have been off lamisil for about two weeks now and am waiting for the taste to come back. | I knew that there was a 2.8% lost of taste with some patients, but never knew it would be this bad. I completely stopped taking Lamisil. | F | 54 | 54 days | 9/1/2005 | 3 | Toe Fungus | Kidney Pain, followed by nausea and mid-section discomfort and bloating. | Seemed to work amazingly well on the nail but a blood test showed a elevated bilirubin level a week after discontinuing the drug. It was working so well I am disappointed to have to quit using it but I guess a fixed toe but broken kidneys and/or liver is a problem. | M | 40 | 3 weeks | 8/15/2005 | 1 | toenail fungus | hives and severe itching after 3 weeks, discontinued drug then and then 1 week later loss all sense of taste (also had a nasty salty taste in mouth at all times), had alcohol sensitivity (had 2 beers and I felt like I had had 24)---after 1 month off drug still cannot taste anything | M | 42 | 3 weeks | 8/14/2005 | 1 | toenail fungus | loss of taste | loss of taste was sudden at 2 months. Stopped taking drug although doctor didn't see taste loss as a reason to stop. Fungus was disappearing. After one week of not taking drug taste slightly better but can't eat bread, pasta, anything sweet. interestingly, rye bread not so bad. Would be interested in web site with suggestions of tolerable foods found by others in same position. | F | 62 | 60 days | 8/13/2005 | 1 | toenail fungus | I have lost all sense of taste. I have a metallic, bittersweet taste in my mouth that is awful. | I didn't think that I had any side effects until I came upon this website and started reading about everyone else. I thought the taste lost was due to thrush from taking a lot of antibiotics for a kidney infection. When the ususal treatment for thrush did not work, I began to search for a cause. I wish I had never taken this medicine. | F | 69 | 90 days | 8/5/2005 | 1 | Fungus under toe nail | It made all foods, especially those with sugar, taste terrible. Not just a | Thanks to this web site, I learned that spicey foods (chile, etc.) were tolerable. As soon as I figured out that Lamisil could be the cause, I stopped taking it. It took 6 to 8 weeks before things got back to normal. Truly a horrible experience, not knowing if you would ever be able to enjoy food again. | M | 61 | 2 months | 8/3/2005 | 1 | toenail fungus | After 30 days became extrememly ill. Have been sick for 10 months. (several)doctors beleive it was the lamisil. Entire immune system broke down. Several cases are the same and not reported. Many problems from this. | F | 53 | 30 days | 7/20/2005 | 1 | Toenail Fungus | Hives all over my body after 30 days of taking this medicine. | M | 34 | 31 days | 7/17/2005 | 5 | Toenail Fungus | Very mild diarrhea, and temporary mild taste disturbances (Ice cream and other sweet things didn't taste quite right). The side effects were tolerable and a lot less apparent than I expected. | Since I had read a lot about Lamisil, and knew of its risks and side effects, it took me about a year to decide to do it. I was considering having my affected nails removed otherwise. I am thrilled by the results. I insisted that my doctor give me monthly blood tests to ensure that my liver function wasn't being affected. Definitely weight the risks to the desired results. | M | 35 | 12 weeks | 7/5/2005 |
