hi I would like to connect to people who have had taste disturbances due to lamisil. I took it for 4 weeks and then suddenly 4 days ago, I have severe taste disturbance. Can anyone offer any advice? I am 45 years old. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me!

    I see this was a few months ago. Is it better now? I need some hope.

      Glad to hear it. Did you find it waxed and waned? That it came back and went away again as you recovered? I got most of mine back yesterday morning, and was so excited thinking today would be the day I was finally healed but I woke up and I was back to square one. It's so dispiriting and I'm heading off on an overseas holiday next week. The thought of looking at all those colossal hotel buffet breakfasts while I subsist on Sustagen Hospital Formula is just so deflating.

    great support group here

    most of us all I agree when to stop taking it, and most, have full restoration of taste after about six weeks. I was on it for a short amount of time. After my taste loss I thought my god what have I done? After finally say 3-6 weeks, my taste came back. I truly felt a miracle had happened. To lose your taste is so depressing. F**k this drug!

    Out!
