"Took Lamisil for 4 days. I'm stopping it immediately as I had diarrhea from the second day of use. Awful pill, instead of fixing a health issue, it brings you more issues. I can't wait for it to get out of my system, probably diarrhea will persist until then. I want nothing to do with this drug. Also took two sets of antibiotics and have used Fucidin, and the swelling persists. My nail hasn't grown the tiniest bit in four whole months. I don't know what to do, and I did not go to my doctor's appointment because all of these pills that they have recommended haven't helped me at all. I'm done and frustrated."

"30-year-old female. All 10 toes were affected, and I couldn’t find anything at all to help and spent a fortune on over-the-counter topical treatments. So, I ended up giving in and going to the doctor. 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 it makes me feel really sick, so I just switched to decaf coffee."

"After 5 days of taking this drug, I began to notice a burning sensation in the back of my throat as well as my upper esophagus…as if they were on fire. I initially thought it was acid reflux, but after taking very potent anti-acid medication without relief, I realized it must be this drug. So I looked at the prescribing information from the manufacturer. It states that dyspepsia (heartburn) as well as loss of taste were effects noted as higher than placebo. But what concerned me was it also stated that while these conditions can be reversible, in some cases, these symptoms were not reversible. Simply Google: Oral Lamisil prescribing information. And then even more ominous: It states that the drug has shown to be toxic to the liver… and this was not one of those very rare effects that pharmaceutical companies must mention. Conversely, they state it is not a rare phenomenon."

"I've been taking Lamisil for 10 days, and I haven't really seen a difference. I have two nails infected on one 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 the nails looked like before. In my case, my nail lifted on the nail bed 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. The other toe just got infected. I also have blisters, and the toe itself is peeling, and I see white, moldish-looking spots around the 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 started taking this 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, and 3 months later, it is still plugged."

"I have had this infection of the toenails for about 12 years. Ugh! So embarrassed to ask the doctor. I have gone through the misery of not ever wearing sandals or open-toed high heels. I work in an office environment and would love to wear sandals with some of my outfits. I recently went to the doctor and I finally told her that I have toenail fungus, and she easily wrote me a prescription for Lamisil. I started taking it about a week ago and have not seen any changes, but I will definitely give it time and check in and give my review again in the next few weeks."

"I took the pill form for 3 months. It worked beautifully. There were no noticeable side effects. I can wear sandals, etc. I couldn't even think of doing that for the past 5 years."

"I used Lamisil for 3 months, and it cleared up my big toe perfectly. Now my other foot has it on its big toe, so yes, you betcha I am going on another 3-month dose. It really works."

"Went through the treatment of Lamisil for several months and all the blood tests. Was told I was one of the few it did not work for. Complete waste of time."

"Lamisil cost a lot and did not work at all for my toenail fungus."

"I just started taking terbinafine, and it's been almost a week. I was wondering if using tea tree oil will affect me while taking the pills? Any help, please?"
