"I was on terbinafine/Lamisil for 12 weeks for a nasty ringworm infection up my left arm. I had this for almost 1 year. I had tried other antifungals (Sporanox) which couldn't get rid of it completely. Lamisil has eradicated this infection for me, am very satisfied and did not experience any side effects. Firstly, I made the mistake of spending ages reading through all the bad reviews here and had basically convinced myself that I was going to lose my sense of taste, and I spent the whole time worrying about that. If you are like me, then I implore you to stop reading this and speak to your GP/dermatologist instead. I'm not going to discount the bad experiences people have had because of course they are true, but you are reading the experience of the minority. The majority of the millions of people who take Lamisil without issue aren't likely to come here and spend time writing about their opinion, always bear that in mind."

"I had 8 different ringworm patches on me, and no matter how many times a day I showered and changed all my bedding, towels, and cloths and washed them in bleach, I still could not stop them! 5 days on terbinafine, they stopped growing and died. The pain in my stomach and constipation was bad, and I had to stop halfway through the treatment."

"I had 4 spots of ringworm on me. One of them had grown a little bigger than the size of a golf ball, so my doctor recommended I take terbinafine pills. It has been six of the 14 days of me taking it, and it is so hard on my body. The stomach pains and the nausea are the worst part. I have had a hard time sleeping, as well as standing up for longer than 3-4 minutes since I started taking it. Any time longer than that, I feel as though I am about to pass out. The small ringworms are fading, but the larger one is still very much visible. I am not sure if I will be able to continue the rest of the 14 days."

"Terbinafine Started on 2/9/21. It's like everybody says it is. It's as horrible as medicine, it does the job, but it makes you horribly sick. I was sick for the first two weeks I took it. I took it for 14 days. It is now 3/12/21, and I'm still dizzy from it-not as bad, but it was horrible all the way through. Almost like you're on an acid trip that you can't get out of. And if I knew now what I knew then, I probably wouldn't have taken it. But then my feet wouldn't be getting better, and they were pretty bad with ringworm. So I guess if you have the same situation, you might have to go through it too to get rid of it, but it is really bad. Because you're definitely going to suffer. It's like the roller coaster ride you can't get off. You're definitely rolling the dice. Oh, and I'm still not better, and I don't know how much longer before I get better."

Terbinafine "This medicine did not help me at all with my ringworm issue. I have not noticed any difference before and after the usage. I was using it for 3 weeks. Before, I was using another brand with terbinafine hydrochloride, and it worked really well. But you don't have that spray in the UK, so I decided to try Lamisil. It's a fail! Hope it helps someone."

"I was prescribed terbinafine for a tinea versicolor rash across my back and shoulders. It wasn't very noticeable, but it irritated me in a cosmetic sense. My doctor put me on a two-month terbinafine plan. I have taken the medicine once a day orally for about three weeks. As soon as I started taking it, I felt itchy all the time and urinated more than usual. Then one Monday morning, I woke up covered in hot, itchy hives everywhere. It's been three days now, the hives are still there, my upper and lower eyelids are swollen and my hands and feet are swollen to the point of pain. I'd imagine I'm allergic."

"I shared in December that I started terbinafine. I took it for 2 weeks, doc recommended, and the spots healed up quickly. I got my taste back just enough to taste sweet things about 2 weeks after. Almost 3 weeks later, 2 more spots appeared. One in the same exact spot as another. So I'm in round 2 of 2 weeks. I can taste most things, but it's off still. I get insomnia pretty bad, and if I drink coffee, 1 cup feels like 12, and I'm active all day."

"I had toenail fungus from stubbing my toe. I didn't opt for the oral medication and tried the natural route, to mix coconut oil and bicarbonate soda, bandage it up, then air it through the night. It creates an alkaline environment which kills the fungus. Now, however, I seem to have got ringworm, coinciding with the new addition of my puppy, Lola, in December. I noticed a couple of itchy bits on my torso that looked more like eczema. I noticed a ring-like area, different from the other areas. Straight to the doctor, on some miconazole cream, that was useless. Meanwhile, it is starting to spread to my horror and disgust. I was getting referred itching. The cream didn't work, now I'm on terbinafine 250 mg and three weeks in. It has gotten worse. I'm washing everything and tumble drying at 60, being super careful, bathing, showering twice a day. I've had no side effects from it. Someone just recommended Lamisil cream, but I noticed that has the same as the oral meds, terbinafine."

"I had ringworm on my legs before summer. I got the topical cream and used that as well as athlete's foot spray (helped so much with the itching). But it came back this week on my legs again. I'm on day 2 of terbinafine now. I'm also battling a cold. So I lose my sense of taste, it's nothing new. But I took it today and was super nauseous and couldn't sit near a window with the sun coming in without feeling sick. Keep hydrated for sure, and it helps me if I eat really well before taking it. Only a 3 rating because nothing has happened yet."
