"I've been taking lamisil for 10 days and I haven't really seen a difference I have two nails infected on 1 foot (little toes). I was wondering if the people that have cured their infection how long did it take to see improvements? A little more detail on what nails looked like before. In my case my nail lifted on the nailbed and turned white since a year my nail has barely grown and when it does it's covered by white fungus at the cuticle so basically no toenail since a year, other toe just got infected I also have blisters and the toe its self is peeling and I see white mouldish looking spots around toenail anyone have this same fungus?"

"Terrible, after having consumed half a packet, my lips started cracking, peeling, nothing helped. My skin was itchy around the neck, waking me up at night. I suffered for about a month until I needed a repeat and that's when I read the side effects. I blame the doctor. He should have warned me. Unfortunately, I worked it out myself after 42 tablets. I can't even imagine how my liver is. Don't take it"

"I have just completed the 3 month treatment however my nail fungus is still growing out, probably 1/4 way to go. Should I get another prescription? Strangely I have developed a fungal groin rash while on Lamisil, it seems odd and I have to treat it with a topical anti-fungal cream, it's very persistent. No other side effects to report."

"30 year old female. All 10 toes were effected and I couldn’t find anything at all to help and spent a fortune on over the counter topical treatments. So ended up giving in and going to the dr. I’m on my 7th week of taking these tablets and the improvement is already really clear to see, new nails are growing out completely clear and are very strong already and most nails are almost completely clear. I’ve been suffering with my toes for over 10 years and this is so exciting to watch I can’t wait to finally be able to feel happy with the nails. The only side effect I have is that caffeine takes a long time to come out of your system so makes me feel really sick so just switched to decaf coffee."

"I started taking this the drug because one toenail was very thick and yellow. I started having diarrhea almost immediately and it continued until I stopped the drug after a month of use. Now none of my toenails on that foot are growing, they just completely stopped. The drug is awful, my ear has been plugged since I started the drug in 3 months later it is still plugged."

"I've been taking it for two weeks now and I've noticed that my toenails aren't building thickness like before. I keep them trimmed away and have always. Now I'm noticing less and less trimming. I feel like I'm on the road to success!"

"Two days after starting the first dose, I developed the worst headache of my life, followed by diarrhea, then bloating, very gassy and nausea. I immediately quit the medication, but bloating on empty stomach, shortness of breath, the and itching has lasted. It us now a week after I quit the medication. I can’t give a -100 but I wish I could. This drug is not worth the risk."
