| 5 | brother had very high temperature | tamiflu saved my brother's life. 9 days after his arrival from overseas my brother had very high temperature of 39C and he couldnt move his body and head and had a very awful headache. it was all accidental and out of blue. i thought it was heat exhaustion. I gave him aspitin as soon as the high temperature reached 37.5C. It dropped the temperature for 2 hours and then he again got very exhausted and his temperature rised to 39C within an hour from normal temperature. I gave him another aspirin but no help for half an hour instead his temperature continoously rising. I got very scared and took him to the doctor. Although there was no visibly flu like symptoms a doctor said he had hayfever and prescribed tamilfu with panadol. i gave him the 1st tamiflu 6 hours after his first symptoms when he was completely drained. half an hour after the tamiflu it just kicked out the high temperature and he became back to normallish straight away. I was just amazed and it looked like a miracle to me. | visited after hours GP and i've mentioned him that he was at overseas 8 days ago. Luckily I got myself vaccinated couple of months ago. | M | 24 | 5 days | 12/27/2009 | 4 | Influenza A, H1N1 | loss of appetite | My 2 yr old son was diagnosed with Influenza A and the doctor prescribed Tamiflu. We started the meds asap and he did vomit after the first dose. The doctor said he would. Other than that, he tolerated the medicine very well and recovered after about 3 days, but continued with a cough for about a week. I read this website after I gave him his first dose and was really freaked out by all of the terrible reviews so wanted to leave a positive one. | M | 2 | 5 days | 12/27/2009 | 3 | Diagnosed with swine flu 2 days ago | Stomach cramps, insomnia | Originaly prescribed over phone.... was advised to see a doctor at the hospital as well tho due to severe cough | F | 46 | 3 days | 12/27/2009 | 2 | Had symptoms of flu after flying | Nausea, dizziness, stomach aches, migraines, and insomnia which persisted five days after I took simply 'one' preventive pill. Flu symptoms did however go away the next day. Not worth it, I would probably resort to OTC medication in the future. | M | 28 | 1 days | 12/21/2009 | 2 | Suspected H1N1 | The worst headache I have ever experienced, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Called my GP to check if I should continue taking Tamiflu despite the side effects and she recommended stopping as the fever was gone and the medication was making me feel worse than the flu itself. I would consider very carefully before taking this again. | Recommended by the NHS online flu service and collected by a friend from the pharmacy. | F | 33 | 2 days | 12/21/2009 | 5 | my 3 year old had flu | I gave it to my soon who had a fever of nearly 104 and was clearly miserable with the flu... by the next morning he was 200 times better... he took the medicine with no problem and while there was some vomiting thats normal with the flu...he has a mild rash on his body that i assume is from the medicine but could also very well be from the day and a half of terrible fevers... doesnt seem to be bothering him... i would def use it again ... made this a quick flu instead of a week of misery for the little one and us… | got prescript from pediatrician | F | 32 | 4 days | 12/20/2009 | 4 | Influenza type A (Possible Swine) | I started taking Tamiflu two days after my flu symptoms began - right after taking the medicine my fever broke and I had 0 flu symptoms. However, Tamiflu did leave me with a wheezing cough as well as dry mouth, stomach cramps, slight loss of appetite, and lastly trouble in bed with my boyfriend. All in all, the medicine helped with the flu but now I have this annoying cough and a bad case of the drys. | F | 23 | 5 days | 12/20/2009 | 1 | Suspected H1N1 | My son was perscribed tamiflu because his symptoms were "textbook" for swine flu (even though his nasal swab was negative). He seemed to tolerate his first dose well, but the second and third dose are a COMPLETELY different story. He was up all night vomiting, dry heaving and having diarrhea. Prior to starting tamiflu he had none of these symptoms. I do not know if the tamiflu offered him any relief from the fever and body aches, and if it did I would say the new symptoms are harder on him than the fever and cough. My husband and I stopped the tamiflu after the third dose, and although he still has a fever and cough, the vomiting and diarrhea are gone. I would not reccomend tamiflu to my worst enemy!! | Our regular pediatrician perscribed tamiflu for my son. | M | 3 | 1.5 days | 12/20/2009 | 1 | Flu Like Symptoms | I took tamiflu (4 doses) and started feeling very confused, dizzy slight hallucinations. This was not due to the flu as I was feeling fine flu wise. I then went into a severe depression, high anxiety, skin burning, numb hands, weird feeling in legs. I almost couldn't function for a week after stopping. I went to several doctors, even a shrink and am finally better two weeks later. I was perscribed larazapam to help with anxiety which helped. I will never ever, take this again or give it to me kids. I'm a professional adult with a relatively high powered job which I almost quit due to the symptons. I thought I'd never get better. I've never had any mental issues in the past and am convinced it was from the tamiflu. I'm 95% now, but it was the worst experience of my life. | M | 36 | 3 days | 12/19/2009 | 1 | I had the flu | Severe migrane headaches that could not be helped by advil and theraflu both (even being in the light caused the pain to become worse) - I've never had migraines before. Extreme nausea, a little bit of vomiting, blood in my mucus and high fever. | Urgent Care Clinic | F | 41 | 4 days | 12/18/2009 | 1 | Doctor gave it to my son | Before the doctor gave my son, his White Blood Cell count was low (3). After it, he had a seizure and died. I have CMP before and after and Tamiflu should not have been given to him but was. | this was given in the emergency room to treat what the doctor thought was a viral infection that turned out to be a bacterial infection. Nevertheless, my 3 year old son died. | M | 42 | 1 days | 12/16/2009 | 5 | influenza | none. Took the prescribed 5 day course on schedule twice a day with meals and had absolutely no side effects. Friends of mine who got sick with me and who did not take the medication are still sick with severe cough and fevers while I feel 95% better. | I'm a resident physician so I knew I was going to get the flu since all my patients have it. I got a prescription from one of my fellow doctors and took Tamiflu within 48hrs of symptoms developing (fever, body aches, runny nose, etc.) and began feeling slightly better by the next day and almost 100% by the last dose (5th day). Was able to do all my paperwork while I was sick. Must get prescription and take the medication as soon as possible (within 48 hrs) when flu symptoms begin or you will have to ride out the illness as per usual (rest, fluids, rest). | F | 28 | 5 days | 12/14/2009 | 4 | flu type A | My 18 month old daughter was diagnosed with type A flu so the doctor prescribed tamiflu for twice a day for 5 days. The first night I gave it to her she pretty much spit it all out, then the second time was better and so on, But she still HATES the taste. The second day I gave it to her her fever went down pretty well but every day after that she was super cranky and clingy even though I don't think she was that ill anymore. Also she wouldn't eat food very well and she would wake up crying at night, Not sure if all of this was the tamiflu but it was all out of the ordinary so I think it was. I think this stuff helps but remember everybody is different. | F | 1 | 5 days | 12/12/2009 | 2 | Suddenly high fever (>38C) | Nausea. After taking 6 pills I decided not to take the 7th since I was feeling very sick and felt like vomiting. | The fever seemed to go down fairly quickly after taking the first pill (took the first pill a few hours after getting fever). | M | 43 | 3 days | 12/12/2009 | 1 | flu most likely h1n1 | my five year old son threw up the medicine within 15 minutes of taking it. three hours later he was hallucinating and talking to non-existent people. | prescribed by ER doctor | M | 5 | 0 days | 12/11/2009 | 1 | Low grade virus | Very strong anxiety attacks began after 5th pill. Could barely function. Could not sleep. Stopped taking medication, but anxiety existed through next day and was strong enough that I went to quick care and saw a Doctor who prescribed Lorazepam. Felt almost immediate relief and was able to sleep that night. However, two days after taking last Tamiflu still feel nervous and anxious. I would not recommend this medication to anyone. | Visiting regular doctor. | M | 52 | 3 days | 12/11/2009 | 3 | Suspected flu w/underlying asthma | Severe vomiting within 20 minutes of taking the medication and with each subsequent dose, diahrrea, behavioral changes - increased agitation and confusion. My daughter just sat staring at me at one point and would not respond to her name the first couple times I said it. She was supposed to take it for 5 days, I stopped it after 2 as her fever had disappeared after the first 24 hours on the drug. I believe the drug worked, but the side effects I'm not sure were worth it, unless you truly know your child is very sick and at risk. I hope there will be no long term impact. | Prescribed for my 3 yo daughter. Brought her to her doctor within 24 hours of developing productive cough, headache, lethargy and fever of 101.9F. Daughter had been been exposed to flu at her daycare where 9 other kids had been out sick. After exam, doctor having heard wheezing in her left lung determined to put her on Tamiflu as a precautionary. She said if she had not heard the wheezing she likely would have waited longer. | F | 3 | 2 days | 12/7/2009 | 4 | flu like symptoms | Nausea, abdominal pain, I do feel dizzy at times but I am not sure if it is because I am still weak from the flu. | Regular doctor | F | 33 | 3 days | 12/6/2009 | 1 | swine flu | my 3 yr old crying unable to understand what her needs where, turned into a completly different child, vomit about 10 mins after taking capsule in a drink | did online check and got tablets from tesco | F | 3 | 2 days | 12/6/2009 | 1 | seasonal flu | severe insomnia, heart palpitations, and nausea. I have only taken two pills and have already had an adverse reaction. | prescribed by my doctor | F | 44 | 1 days | 12/5/2009 |
