| 5 | tonail fungus | none to speak of | Its been 2.5 months since i took my 90 day regiment..i had fungus on 8 out of 10 nails... I would say they are about 95% clear now. I foo t is completely the other 3 out of 5 is completely clear.. They say this stays in your system for 6 months so i am confident it will be all gone by then.....If you can tolerate the drug it works well...I was lucky, no real side effects... | M | 43 | 90 days 250 1X day | 2/19/2010 | 5 | Toe Nail Fungus | No side effects! | Worked great in killing off the fungus! | M | 54 | 90 days Not sure 1X day | 3/29/2010 | 5 | toenails to thick to trim | Weird dreams, so what's new. After eating this morning I threw up the whole thing. (Mush, Cottage cheese w/peaches,two whole wheat toast with generous butter and nummy rasberry jam from northern Utah. I was greatful to get rid of it and was not sorry for losing all fifteen pills (prescribed and OTC). I would say it made me feel better to yuck it up. | This was for terbinifide only | M | 73 | 60 days 1X day | 5/9/2010 | 5 | Two toenails infected with fungus | I thought there might have been a slight metallic tinge in my mouth, but if there was, it didn't persist. That's all, folks! | I almost went mad reading all the negative comments here when I researched Lamisil. But everything turned out fine. I didn't worry about hair loss because mine had already said its goodbyes before treatment...lol | M | 25 | 90 days 30 1X day | 7/28/2010 | 5 | toe fungus | None what-so-ever. | So far I have not experienced any side effects.... haven't seen a differnce in toes, but I will stay optmistic. I think the key is... I take it with a full glass of water right before bed. | M | 28 | 13 days 250mg 1X day | 11/5/2010 | 5 | Toe Nail Fungus | No significant side effects. I did notice the salty, metallic taste. It would come and go. It would also further describe it as being similar to having touched the surface of my tongue to an old 9V battery (kind of an eletrolic sensation). Again... this came and went. Liver tests stayed in the normal range. I drank beer every afternoon, just like always. | Works great... New nails. Small price to pay. I'll be wearing sandles in the future. Very satisfied. | M | 47 | 90 days 250 1X day | 11/11/2010 | 5 | toenail fungus in both feet(4 toes) | i didnt experience any noticable side effects during my time with lamisil | it took some time but eventually i started to see clear nail growth...i was skeptical because of some negative remarks on this site with the drug but everything turned out fine...two toenails are now 95% better and my worse toenail which was completely horrible is now half grown out and clear...you can see half of a clear nail its amazing! i know how it felt to have fungal nails and how embarrassing it is, i am almost free of this and so happy about it good luck all | M | 26 | 5 months 1X day | 11/18/2010 | 5 | fingernail infection | No side effects. | I take it at night just before bed. Like someone said, don't let it touch your tongue. I throw it in the back of my mouth and drink water. Also eat pudding or ice cream right after. Takes bitter taste out of mouth. Nails are coming in good. | M | 64 | 32 days 250 1X day | 3/16/2011 | 5 | Nail fungus | Irratibility, but I am already an irritable person so maybe it wasn't the drug. | The only regret I have is why did I wait so long! I had nail fungus bad on my toe nails especially my right big toe. It was in the way of me living my my life. I had a complex. For about 8 years I refused to wear flip flops (I live in Florida by the beach), was cautious to not let anybody see my feet, even my wife for the first year we were dating. I took the generic brand of Lamisil about 1 1/2 years ago for about 6 months. It slowly ate away at the fungus and continued working after i discontinued the pills. It works! My fungus is 95% cured. Even the scaling and itching on the bottom of my feet is 95% gone. I wear sandels and don't hide my feet anymore. If you have fungus take the pill! | M | 41 | 6 months 1X day | 3/30/2011 | 5 | TOE FUNGUS | 2ND DAY SO FAR SO GOOD. SLIGHTLY WORRIED BY SOME OF THE STORIES HERE. FIRST MEDICATION TAKEN OTHER THAT ANTIBIOTICS AS A CHILD. WISH ME LUCK! | I RECEIVED THE TERBINIFINE GENERIC FROM MY PHARMACY HOPEFULLY SIDE EFFECTS WILL BE MINIMAL | M | 25 | 90 days 250 1X day | 4/26/2011 | 5 | Toe nail | None, once I stopped reading the side effect charts and forums. | This is the best solution for nail fungus! After 20+ years of trying everything and hiding my feet. I am now wearing flip flops again. Today I take my last pill of 90 and my toe nails (all 10) are 85% clear with just a little funk left at the end of the nails. All my blood work came back fine and I had absolutely no side affects. Thank you Lamisil for kicking some fungus a$$. If you are thinking of taking this drug... DO IT! | M | 37 | 90 days 250 MG 1X day | 7/24/2011 | 5 | Toe fungus | No side effects whatsoever. | Both big toenails have both been ejected (body did not want them) and fresh new uninfected nail has grown out almost halfway. Two remaining little toes with fungus have grown out with a tiny bit of infection left at the hyponichium. Severe cracking of the skin on the feet has completely disappeared. After 20+ years of having icky toes, I am thrilled! | M | 46 | 4 months 250 1X day | 9/22/2011 | 5 | toenail fungus | No side effects | Excellent product. I was about to lose both big toe nails. Starting taking the tablets, and fungus stopped in its tracks. Continued taking till nails grew back in. This was about 4 years ago. Since then, on advice of my dermatologist, I have rubbed a bit of Lamisil cream on the base of each nail every morning, and have had no recurrence of toenail fungus. I highly recommend this product. | M | 69 | 8 months 30 mg 1X day | 10/15/2011 | 5 | Toenail Fun Guy! | No side effects encountered with this drug | So far I've been taking the generic lamisil at night time before I go to bed and had no issues with any disturbance of sense or taste. Liver test about a month ago came in clean. I've been drinking a lot of water throughout the day though I don't know if that actually helps or not. | M | 40 | 83 days 250 1X day | 5/26/2012 Patient History | 5 | Toenail fungus | I took Lamisil for 90 days as prescribed last summer, with liver function test at start and at 45 days. This was to treat fungal infections on 8 toenails. I could not be happier! No side effects whatsoever and I just trimmed the last of my fungal nails. After 15 years I no longer have to hide my nails and no more shoe discomfort around my big toe. | M | 45 | 3 months 250 mg | 6/18/2012 | 5 | Toenail fungus x 6 toes | None | It took months after starting to take the drug, could have been even after the 84 days, that I started noticing new nail grow in. It is 6 months after I finished the treatment and my nails are 99% clear. Just the corners of the big toes remain. To all the hypochondriacs out there, I understand your stress. I had liver function test 6 weeks in, and it was fine. A couple months after I stopped, I requested to have another LFT because I was paranoid and it was fine. The only side effect, (if you can call it that) was what Im sure were psychosomatic symptoms. I worried about my liver. I had pains my lower left of my abdomen (where I thought the liver was). When I learned where the liver was in the upper right, guess what, the pain shifted to the upper right. I suggest limiting your alcohol consumption and drink lots of water. I think I had 2 glasses of wine for special occasions. I even stopped taking acetaminophen. Wait a couple weeks before starting to drink after the treatment is over. I did not do this, and that's what really made me start to worry and the "pain" increased. I strongly suggest limiting your internet research if you are hypochondriac. You don't know the conduct or the medical history of the people reporting horrible side-effects. I'm not saying that no one on this site are credible, just saying, don't let it scare you. I will update this if anything changes but if I don't, no news is good news! For now, I’m enjoying flip-flops again | M | 31 | 84 days 250 1X day | 7/25/2012 | 5 | Toenail fungus | I didn't get any side effects , Thank God ! .I was so scared of taking these pills cause of all the negative reviews. I prayed every time i took it =).I didn't drink any alcohol either. If you're on the fence about taking the pills try it out it's the only way you'll know if it works for you .Im glad i took them.. | My Podiatrist performed pinpointe laser and gave me a 3 month supply of lamisil for the same price, just to make sure i got rid of the fungus for sure .. So im not sure which one worked more effectively. Its been 3 months since i started taking the pills and they do look clear,but not how a regular nail looks ill give it more time to grow out the bad nail.Im scheduled for another pinpointe session in December.But so far every things good. | M | 22 | 3 months 250 mg 1X day | 9/28/2012 | 5 | Nail Fungus skin peeling on finger | NONE | Starting again after 3 years Fungus back. | M | 54 | 45 days 250 1X day | 2/7/2013 | 5 | toenail fungus | I had bad toenails for 30+ years and it began to spread to fingers. No noticeable side effects - fungus GONE quickly from fingers, took more time for toenails to grow out. (had monthly blood tests and no problems detected.) | M | 60 | 150 days 250 1X day | 1/4/2013 | 5 | Toenail Infiection (two nails) | Decreased alcohol tolerance Very mild feelings of depression/insecutirty - tiredness Felt a little off while taking it | Overall, this pill worked immediately, within a week I could see the pink part of my big toe nail growing in compared to others I noticed others say It took much longer for the nail to start clearing. I also had a damaged little toe nail that took much longer to grow in. By the end of the 3 months it was 85% grown out on both toes. Took diflucan for two months after (2/week), with no sides just as precaution, not sure if i needed it tho as i heard the medication stays in the nail and it should have grown out anyways. My nails are 100% cured. I drank 5-6 drinks at a time every couple weekends while on it, it did not feel good at all and I felt nasty the next day. I recommend taking MSM (2-5grams), as it helps your nails grow much faster. overall im happy i took it, in spite of the mild side effects where i felt tired and a little off. | M | 35 | 90 days 250 1X day | 9/14/2012 |
