Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history well and understood the concerns.
Diarrhea is the commonest side effects of Lamisol/Lamisil.
You have discontinued the medicine just three days ago and may take a bit longer till the medicine is cleared from the body.
But it is necessary to find if there is any other cause for watery green-gray diarrhea once or twice a day.
This is possible to find by tests of stool and blood. And if there is indication of another cause like Bacterial infection, a specific treatment will be started by your treating Doctor.

Please get these things done and let me know the feedback.
Take care.

I hope this answers your query and helps you further.

With Regards.
