My doctor also pescribed me with lamisil.I went to him as a last resort when all the natural antifungals that i had tried seemed not to be working.I too had used lamisil 6 years ago when i had toenails that had turned yellow and brittle and were falling off.The result was good.However,this time around after a month of taking them I lost all taste in my mouth.I wasnt able to enjoy any foods.This went on for another week after I stopped taking them.When i spoke to my doctor to tell him of the side effects he just perscribed me with another antifungal which he said was not as effective as lamisil.I didnt bother to return for the perscription.I now continue with the strict diet as i have been for the past 3 years since finding out that i have candida and am currently taking natures biotics which seem to be fine with me.
