Lamisil (terbinafine) for Onychomycosis, Toenail: Been using for 5 months, my doctor advises one more month of use. Had fungus on 2 nails and my big toenail that was 80% infected has improved to about 15% remaining. Improvement in nails was very slow for the first 3-4 months and with this month you can see the improvement everyday. Thankfully, no side effects other than stomach cramps for the first few days. Monthly blood draws to check liver enzymes are normal.

Lamisil (terbinafine) for Onychomycosis, Toenail: I've used Lamisil for 3 months now and I haven't seen ANY change at all. On the contrary, now I have it in another toenail. I'm very disappointed, after taking it for so long and spending so much money. I didn't have side effects, just a few that were not so bad.

Lamisil (terbinafine) for Onychomycosis, Toenail: For years I missed out on so much, I was always ashamed to wear sandals or any type of shoes that showed my toes. As a girl I found my self looking at everyone else's cute shoes wishing I could wear them. It took about 8 months then my toenails were perfect! It truly was a miracle drug! I would recommend it to anyone who has any kind of toenail fungus. I now wear any kind of shoe I want and don't even think about that nasty problem. My only regret was not doing it any sooner.

Lamisil (terbinafine) for Onychomycosis, Toenail: I'm 2 weeks from completing my 3 month treatment and have had absolutely no problems or side effects. I was very skeptical about Lamisil before starting because of all the negative reviews that saturate the internet. My nails are improving and even though the bad nails are far from grown out I can tell a visible difference in nail color, texture and the health of my nail bed. I tease and say that it's a miracle drug, since starting Lamisil I've lost 13 pounds and I swear the medication has even helped with my allergies. I am a long time allergy sufferer and I have not had even the slightest onset of a drippy nose or watery eye this spring. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with this product.

Lamisil (terbinafine) for Onychomycosis, Fingernail: This is my second time using Lamisil. No problems the first time. Within first 5 days I developed progressive rash-starting on feet, then legs, arms, and trunk. Discontinued after day 13.

Lamisil (terbinafine) for Onychomycosis, Toenail: Used it for almost 3 months. Developed muscle pain and doctor pulled me off. Other than that toes look great after just three months. I spent 35 years treating it myself with no significant results. By summer the wife wants me to wear sandals, something I haven't done since I was 17. Big toes are about 75% back others are about 90%. Looking forward to barefoot beach walks.

Lamisil (terbinafine) for Onychomycosis, Toenail: My physician prescribed Lamisil for me in October 2007. I took it for three months and had 2 liver panels done during that time. I was dizzy and mildly nauseated the first few days and had diarreah. It has taken 10 months for the new nails to grow out but I can bare my toes once again! It also CURES athlete's feet. Now my feet are baby smooth and free of dryness and cracks. I would highly recommend this product. Don't wait! This is the best my feet have looked in years. Trust me, IT WORKS! :)

Lamisil (terbinafine) for Onychomycosis, Toenail: Hideous fungus under all 10 toenails since age 12, I'm 52 now. My life is changed, since in adolescence and even until today, I have hidden my toes and suffered ridicule and embarrassing questions. Been taking the drug for 4 mths as I write this. It's a miracle. Big toenails have cleared beautifully to 50% and all other 8 nails are at 90% or better. Taste impacted minimally(temporary). Liver function normal. Just do it.

Lamisil (terbinafine) for Tinea Capitis: I've been taking the Terbinafine 250mg tab once daily for just over a month now and haven't had any noticeable side effects. My toenails have cleared up considerably and I still have 60 more days of treatment. I think if you take this medication as directed, with a full glass of water and do not drink alcohol excessively, you'll probably stand a better chance of complete success. This is the first treatment I have tried since they took the Lamisil Cream off the market that has worked.

Lamisil (terbinafine) for Tinea Capitis: I have used lamisil before and was very pleased with the results. After the full course of medication my toenails looked much better. I had no side effects and I also have a seizure disorder, it worked great for me. My brother took it for the same reason and he had no side effects either. It worked for him as well. It was pricy but worth the results.

Lamisil (terbinafine) for Onychomycosis, Toenail: I TOOK THIS MEDICINE FOR 3 WEEKS AND HAVE LOST ALL SENSE OF TASTE. IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS AND I HAVE LOST 12 LBS. THEY SAY THAT THIS IS A RARE SIDE EFFECT YET I HAVE FOUND MANY WEB SITES THAT HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME EFFECT? NOT WORTH MY TIME OR MONEY. I AM DEPRESSED, SICK, WEAK ALL THE TIME AND MAD AS HELL I EVER TOOK IT AND MY TOENAILS STILL LOOK BAD.
