Re: FEEDBACK ON LAMISIL LENGTH OF EFFECTIVENESS

[Guest guest]

I'm under the impression that Diflucan typically lasts

one year (obviously longer for yours, only 9 months

for mine), and I know Nizoral is switched at 6 months,

and I'm under the impression but not certain that

Lamisil lasts 6 months but sometimes longer.

Are you having any luck w/having insurance cover

Lamisil? We didn't do that one 'cause we couldn't

ever get insurance to cover it and it was too

expensive - even more than Diflucan (before they

finally put out generic).

Are you extending the length of effectiveness

w/probitoics? (Of course you are ... I just always

ask.

Our insurance isn't paying for Lamisil and the price went up last

month to 380.00 for 30 pills. ITS TERRIBLE, but we just did it

cause it was working. I've been watching for the generic as its

due, but haven't seen it yet.

I extended diflucan with probiotics for the last year on it, but

havn't done that with Lamisil yet. Will start them today just to

get a little longer.

Whats been your experience with going back to a drug you've used

already? For us we'll go back to Diflucan as Nizoral wasn't a match

for my daughter. Was the effectiveness the same as the first time?

Lamisil did very little for us. The best has always been nizoral. I remember

Dr. G. saying that is because is has a small amount of immune modulating

agents in it. I always dread going off it.

Ouch! That was even more than the Diflucan was

before it went generic. I didn't know it was due a

generic yet ... I very much look forward to it. I

don't remember why the boys didn't stay on Lamisil,

but it may have simply been the cost was impossible -

especially doubled lol. The Diflucan was near

unmanageable but Friendly Hills had a compounded

generic version for cheap long before generic became

available - which we didn't discover for months. I

don't think they ever had Lamisil available that way

though.

There's a pretty big difference from what I can tell

when I'm on Diflucan alone vs when I'm remembering to

take my probiotics w/it. Alone, it does a decent job,

but can't fully tackle the issue w/out adding in the

probiotics. It may be more obvious for me since I was

on too low a dose (but lucky to be on it at all imo).

Anyway, it was hard to remember but they really are

soooo important to increase the effectiveness. It

seems in my case at least, I have immune reactions in

my gut to good bacteria (ocd w/some strains so there

has to be something going on) and so I have to keep

restoring good ones or I get bad bugs no matter what

I'm taking.

When we've taken a break from an antifungal and

returned to it, we get the same benefit as before. In

fact, although Dr G changes them up w/his preferred

date ranges, he has let them go longer when there was

a need for them ... likely because they still work but

are breeding resistant yeasts, and by switching before

the whole colony becomes that way, you reduce the risk

of overall resistance and reduce the risk of the drug

becoming useless to you. There are so few to choose

from.

BTW - what happened w/the Nizoral? Depending on the

problem, it may be something you could use later

although you couldn't now. I'm worried I may not be

able to use it due to acute gastritis last time - I'm

hoping another med was responsible for that. I know

it increases some hormones (testosterone?) in some

kids but that's good for some... and I think it

stimulates some other things in my memory that could

be I'll try to look up.

Anyway, I'm sad Lamisil is still soooo high. I really

need to switch over but there's no way to go there,

and I don't have any friends who are podiatrists lol.

Would the drug company tell us when it's going

generic?

Just as an FYI regarding Nizoral: We just switched back to Nizarol

after being on Diflucan for a year...I'm *pretty sure*, but not

positive, that the last time my son was on Nizoral, it was for a year.

I have been told that these drugs are extremely hard on the liver so you want

to be very careful with them.

Scientists at the Hopkins University School of Medicine say that a few

squares of chocolate a day can reduce the risk of a heart attack by almost 50

per cent in some cases.
