| 4 | Influenza A | Fatigue, Headache, Disconnected feeling, Mild Irritability | My flu started sunday with a runny nose. I woke up on Monday with red swollen eyes and was very tired. By the end of the night on Monday I couldnt move. Tuesday I went to the doctor and was prescribed TAMIFLU. I usually cannot take cold medications because I become extremely agitated/hostile when on them. It is now Friday and I have been on TAMIFLU for 4 days. The flu is pretty much gone but there are side effects from the medicine i believe. My side effects are mild general discomfort (both physical and emotional), confusion, food tastes REALLY salty, loss of appetite, mild anxiety and paranoia, headaches and fatigue. I can say it has been working for me but cannot say if it will work for you. I dont like the side effects but I had bad case of Influenza A and the side effects did not out weight the sickness. I would NOT give this to my daughter who is 5. | M | 35 | 5 days 75 2X day | 1/28/2011 | 1 | Influenza A | I threw up about an hour and a half after taking my first pill, hadn't felt sick to my stomach before hand. Strange things bothered me, like small amounts of clutter, to the point of anxiety attacks. I continued to throw up 2-3 times a day for the first 3 days. I quit taking it after bursting into tears while feeling emotionally fine, becoming extremely dizzy and was unable to stop crying for a few minutes. A very unpleasant experience. | M | 17 | 4 days 75mg 2X day | 1/27/2011 | 1 | H1N1 | My 6 year old became extremely hyper, would not listen to me. He has never acted like that before. Very strange behavior... like he was on speed. I took him off the Tamiflu after the first day. | M | 6 | 1 days 12 mg 2X day | 1/26/2011 | 4 | Flu | Extreme night sweats, dry mouth, headaches. | I had a 102 fever that would not go down, but an hour or so after taking Tamiflu it started to decline. This was the first night after being diagnosed with flu, and the next day I was fever-free and have been since then. The night sweats are super gross and a little scary, but they are harmless. The dry mouth is easily fixed by keeping water nearby, and I'm not sure if the headaches are from the Tamiflu or just congestion. I'm extremely happy with how quickly my symptoms subsided once on the drug, and I would take it again at this point. | F | 23 | 3 days 2X day | 1/24/2011 | 1 | Daughter has H1N1...preventative | Started with rash on right arm where bends...large red bumps, now scaly....rash on left not as much but same. Then noticed rash on neck and now on torso. Not really itchy, just uncomfortable. When called pharmacist he had never heard of a rash from Tamiflu. He did recommend to stop taking and call doc in morning. I did my own research and found that a rash cannot only be a reaction to Tamiflu. but a serious one! Why don't the pharmaceutical companies put that in the information! I have never had a reaction to medication so I am not typically sensitive to meds. My 6 year old daughter is allergic to many drugs but has not had a reaction to this. I am not taking Tamiflu anymore after taking it for 2 days. I will not give it to my daughter anymore either; she has taken it for 3 days. Do not want to run a risk of her having a side effect! Her symptoms were gone with in an hour of taking first dose.....but she did throw up for about an hour! | I do not recommend this drug unless absolutely necessary and have no other options. I will not take this drug after having a severe reaction. I hope the pharmaceutical companies wake up and put the truth in the flyers so a person can make a decision based on ALL possible side effects!! the dosage time for me was 10 days and 5 days for my daughter. She was taking the liquid form 2 X day | F | 48 | 2 days 75 mg 1X day | 1/21/2011 | 1 | Daughter has H1N1...preventative | Started with rash on right arm where bends...large red bumps, now scaly....rash on left not as much but same.

She was taking the liquid form 2 X day | F | 48 | 2 days 75 mg 1X day | 1/21/2011 | 1 | Swine Flu | This medication was a nightmare for me. It made me act and feel psychotic and very unlike myself. I was violent, panic-striken, depressed and just felt terrible while taking it. I also seem to recall it made me crave alcohol and cigarettes. | (I think it was a 5 day regimine, could've been 7...) This was a very bizarre experience and one I never want to have to go through again. I wouldn't recommend this medication unless it was an absolute life or death necessity. | F | 37 | 5 days 75 mg 1X day | 1/21/2011 | 1 | because I had the flu | Confused, slightly depressed, I feel like I smoked a ton of really bad pot basically. Paranoid. Loss of appetite. | This medicine is nuts. It made my flu symptoms go away, but turned me into a sort of mental basket case. I have only taken it for two days and I am stopping now and never taking this again. My appetite is totally gone (I usually eat massive quantities of food) and I feel like I smoked a whole bowl of really bad pot (for lack of a better description). | F | 30 | 2 days ? 2X day | 1/21/2011 | 1 | Perscribed by doctor for flu | Itchy burning rash, insomnia, and anxious feeling | Was diagnosed with influenza A within 48 hrs of first flu symptoms and started taking immediately. After 3 doses fever went away, but side effects started then discontinued use after fourth dose. Would rather heal naturally. If you are at risk dying or in the case of a pandemic then take it, otherwise it is better to heal naturally. | M | 57 | 2 days 75 mg 2X day | 1/21/2011 | 1 | My 19 mth old daughter has flu symp | My Daughter of 19mths who is also a type 1 (insulin Dept)Diabetic has been screaming and lashing out uncontrolably, has a severe hot, red, itchy, hive rash. Loss of concentration, wants to be held all the time, appears scared, having nightmares, breating funny, Diohrea, vomiting throthy. She has just been discharged from hospital and all Medical staff especially Drs are dismissing any side effects, saying they have never seen this before, I have been asked several times if it could be our washing powder? If she has eaten anything new? And now this evening I have been asked if the rash looks like chicken pocks? What is going on, is this neglect or do they really not know what they are talking about. She was prescibed piriton for the rash and I have now been told that perhaps we need to be giveb a prescription for ongoing treatment of piriton! I wish me and my husband had never allowed the Drs to give my Daughter Tami flu. We were not told of any side affects and we did ask, I also asked | Something needs to be done, people need to be made aware! I would certainly not recomment it. | F | 34 | 3 days Not sure 2X day | 1/12/2011 | 2 | Diagnosed with flu, don't know type | Bad intestinal cramps and diahrrea. | Spent $90 and not sure if it is helping or I would have continued to improve on my own, but diahrrea seems to ne making me weaker and recovery harder. | F | 60 | 2 days 75 mg 2X day | 1/11/2011 | 3 | flu like symptoms | slight nausea | after reading this site I am scared to take any more. The directions did not say take with food but I did and am glad. I felt better within 2 hours of taking. Nausea subsided as well. But upon noticing most readers went downhill with dose two I am not going to take anymore. | F | 47 | 1 days 75 mg 1X day | 1/9/2011 | 3 | Positive for Flu Type B | Irritability, Cranky, nightmares, aggressive | My 4 1/2 yr old daughter tested positive for Flu Type B even though she received the flu shot 3 months prior. She was prescribed tamiflu and the first 2 doses worked really well for her. It was almost like she'd never even had the flu the following morning b/c there was no signs of fever, aches or pains. In the days following she's become more aggressive, irritable, and cranky. She hasn't slept well in a 3 nights waking up crying uncontrollably and unable to explain her dreams. Her Dr. said that there might be side effects but wouldn't go into detail b/c he knew I would object to the medicine. She already has a history of night terrors but this medicine seems to have increased them in number. I would rather have her wait it out next time instead of giving her tamiflu in the future. I did make sure that she had something in her stomach when she took it and she did not have any vomiting or diarehea either. | F | 4.5 | 4 days 45 mg 2X day | 1/7/2011 | 1 | Tested Positive for Flu Virus | Felt like sh%t every day that I took Tamiflu. I would not recommend this to anyone! I had an upset stomach every day that I took it, along with burning eyes, and weird taste in my mouth. | I was prescribed this by and ER Doc...Next time I feel like the Flu is comin on, I'll have my family doc give me a Steroid shot and the Z Pack or antibiotics, now that will kick it and in about 3 days, you're back to normal...well somewhat normal...lol...anyhoot, DO NOT TAKE TAMIFLU unless u want to fell like sh%t for 5 solid days! | M | 32 | 5 days 75mg 2X day | 1/6/2011 | 2 | Preventative for Flu | Bald Spot | My 6 year old daughter took Tamiflu and had a bald spot on her head the next day. I don't know it it's related, but wanted to know if anyone else had this side effect. | F | 6 | 1 days 30mg 1X day | 1/5/2011 | 1 | Type A Influenza | Severe dizziness,nausea,aggitation. | I could only handle two days of this medication when I was supposed to be on it for five days. I would not recommend this medication for anyone.. I would rather have the flu for a full week then be on this medication for one day.. | F | 39 | 5 days 2X day | 1/4/2011 | 1 | Tested positive for flu | painful itching hives, rash, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea | Do NOT recommend this product. My daughter had to get epi & decadron shot. Now she is on prednisone for couple of days. It's painful to watch my child suffer like this!!!! This medicine should not be available!!! | F | 5 | 2 days 45 mg 2X day | 1/1/2011 | 4 | Flu Type B | I was diagnosed with Flu B today, after 2 days of chills and low grade fevers. Dr. also put my 3 year old on it since she accidentally drank out of my cup. So far no side effects, will report more if I feel anything tomorrow or later. Don't feel better or worse after 2 doses... yet. I pray this doesn't happen because I read on a different website where they had a LOT of satisfied customers, this is the only one where I found so many complaints, it's scary. For those of you that feel you have experienced possible irreversible side effects, detox your bodies, google ways to detox your body and liver or go to a chiropractor with a wellness center, they help many issues. | If you have to get off this drug, many say to just wait it out, that the flu eventually goes away, just have to rest, drink a ton of fluids and some over the counters to help you sleep and the body pains. | F | 42 | 1 days 75 2X day | 12/30/2010 | 1 | flu symptoms | insomnia, swollen tongue and throat | couldnt sleep or breathe | F | 62 | 1 days 75 mg 2X day | 12/30/2010 | 1 | tested + for flu | Burning watery eyes, bad headache, pain in teeth, stopping after second dose this stuff is horrible. did not have these symptoms until I started tamiflu. Couldn't sleep so I did a search on side effects and found this site. This crap should be illegal | M | 39 | 5 days 75mg 2X day | 12/30/2010 |
