I started taking this for toenail fungus and was prescribed for a 3-month treatment. In the beginning of me taking this medication I didn’t really have any symptoms. More recently I’ve been experiencing bad headaches, inability to sleep, feeling hot/swollen, and have gained some weight. For these reasons, I am choosing to stop taking this medication.
I wanted to know about how long it would take for terbinafine to completely exit my system? Thanks!
I’ve been taking Terbinafine for 4 weeks and stopped. How long for it to exit my system?
