Lamisil Side Effects
I had toenail fungus for about 8 years so I tried taking some antifungal pills to get rid of my toenail fungus.
Within 7 days I began having side effects which included loss of taste and numbness in my fingers.
I did sone searching on the internet and found that I was not alone.
Here's some comments from other people who had bad side effects from taking Lamisil
| "mild malaise sometimes (spaciness, feeling woozy), improper healing of nicks from shaving during the middle part of treatment (rashlike symptoms), tingling feeling in extermities sometimes, more susceptible to caffeine, makes me fall asleep faster if taken right before bed" |
| "constant nausea, numbness particularly in the face, mouth, arms, legs, and a feeling of spaciness" |
| "I also lost my taste after 5 weeks. I can not stand it, I have been off for 1 week now and still have no taste. Although I have lost a few pounds it is not worth it. I work with Cancer patient's and I never understood why a patient did not want to eat when they could not taste, now I do!!" |
| "muscle and joint pain, confusion, blocked ears and head, numbness in little fingers" |
| "bloating, loss of appitie, my left hand for no reason goes numb, i am anxious alot. and i have currently having right upper quadrant pain." |
| "Nauseous, low grade fever, lightheaded during the day and insomnia at night." |
| "At the five week point I lost the ability to taste. This is very distressing and I am unable to find a definitive answer on how long this might last. I am unable to register anything sweet and what I can taste does not taste the way it is supposed to - I am miserable. Water is very nasty, most foods are either very salty or blander than bland (tasteless) or simply horrible. My mouth has a constant salty "taste" in it. I am nauseous almost constaly, especially after eating or drinking anything. I also get frequent acid build up in my stomach. - I quit the lamisil 2 weeks ago when these symptoms began and I still do not have my taste back. No one has been able to tell me how long this will last or assure me that my taste will even return.... I am depressed!!!" |
| "Weight Gain; Insomnia; Limited Cramping; Fatigue; and Restlessness" |
| "bad sleeps, developed a rash in the first four days of taking the drug, then was told to stop talking for a week and the rash went away, then started taking it again with periactin which is a anti allergy drug." |
| "insomia, dark urine, headaches, joint pain, bloody stools" |
| "weight gain, bloating, gas, maybe some depression" |
| "During taking the generic lamisil (terbinafine, I had abdomen discomfort, mostly to the right side, and sometimes an achy back. I stopped taking it 2 weeks ago, as that was 90 days. As of today I still am having the side effects just as intensely. I sure hope it gets better. Usually the pain is to the right of my abdomen and sometimes goes to my back." |
| "Tiredness, a little off balance" |
| "nausea, weight gain, bloating, excessive flatulence, swelling, mild depression" |
| "itching, burning all over, anxiety or panic attacks, feeling of pressure in my head, loss of appetite, rapid weight loss, fatigue,just feeling bad" |
| "Terrible bloating and cramps, abdominal pain, headaches, weight gain, water retention, mild depression" |
| "after about 3 weeks of taking the generic for lamisil I woke up with the worst sore throat ever to sick to get out of bed for about 4 days. Then lost all sense of taste that went to a terrible taste, now very salty tasting syliva have lost over 12 pounds so far do not care to eat very depressing. Went to the Dr. for loss of taste he treated me for Thrush which did no good what so ever, Went back for a follow up he has not figured out it is the side effects of the drug. Have an appt with a ear, nose and throat specialist. That is a waste of my time amd money as this is all a result of taking the drug. I have been off of it for over a month and still no improvement." |
"Day 22 into a 3 month course I noticed that water tasted strange. By day 28 I had no sense of taste. Constant salty taste and saliva. Sweet foods taste like sawdust and savoury foods taste of nothing. Saw my GP who did bloods, liver was fine but my sodium levels higher than normal. She wants to review me after 4 weeks, by which time she, and I, are hoping that everything will be back to normal. It's 5 weeks since I stopped taking lamisil and I still have no taste or appetite. Also I have lost 16lb in weight and in that 5 weeks have only opened my bowels 3 times.Feel weak, bloated and dehydrated."

I stopped talking the pills and found a non-drug natural cure which worked great. It completely got rid of my toenail fungus in 2 months and NO side effects!
