I am 26 years old and have been suffering from toenail fungus for 6 years. It started with one bad toe from a bad pedicure. I ignored the one toe and it spread to 3 other toes. I have tried the topical polish for years and spent a great deal of money on laser treatment, none of these treatments worked. This year it spread to my big toe and I could not longer take it! I am almost in my third month ...
My first dosage ingested at 2pm on full stomach. a hour walk followed. at 5pm had 1 bottle of light beer. 9pm had pizza dinner. 10 pm face feels numb/swollen (i.e. not normal). kind of worries me.

I have been taking terbinafine for about two weeks now and have been experiencing minor stomach pain, I am noticing a difference in my nail so I hope everything goes away by the time I finish my treatment. Above all I have been ok.

My husband has had a toenail infection that he passed on to me. He started the treatment and his nails look incredible. I have never seen him so excited to show his feet! I then decided to start treatment as well. I couldnt figure out why I am so tired and have diharrea every day. I have missed work a couple of days just to stay home to rest. I love what it can do, just not how it makes me feel!

Sixweeks into drug, am experiencing some increased hip joint and leg muscle soreness. No alteration in taste yet. No stomach cramps beyond my normal. May tell a little difference in nails, not much. Still hopeful.

Was anyone else told to avoid caffeine? My doctor didn't say to avoid it but my nail tech did.

I was just prescribed Lamisil from my doctor and was forwarned of the high cost. Imagine my suprise when I went to walmart and discovered this new generic was on their $4.00 list. Entire three month treatment cost $12.00. I am very pleased. Thank Walmart and Terbinafine manufactuer.

I developed a metal taste in my mouth after a few weeks taking this drug. All drinks and food taste weird. At least I may loose some weight as a side effect.
