Brief Answer:
Lamisil tablets

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Was the skin patch shown to doctor? Was it confirmed fungus?
Terbinafine is a broad spectrum antifungal and is not easily tolerated by few. It takes off some good micro organisms from the gut. The nausea and tiredness is because of tablet in my opinion. Please do not worry. You will soon wither off the symptoms or before you complete the course you would be normal.
I suggest to add Lactobacillus spp along with the antifungal.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Unrelated

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It looks unrelated. Nausea always signifies some disorder in the stomach / gut.
If you trying for pregnancy or unprotected intercourse, please check for pregnancy test. Nausea and tiredness go well with pregnancy.
