1	possible/probable flu not H1N1	After the first dose felt a bit better. Subsequent doses caused nausea, hallucinations, vivid dreams, hive breakout, pains in legs, inability to control temperature, sudden sweats, inability to urinate unless pressing on bladder, extreme personality changes - angry, argumentative, oppositional, generally unpleasant, intense headache, sore spots over head region, loss of taste sensation, increased coughing not associated with the flu,lack of interest in anything, unable to find the right words when speaking, general confusion	This medication was prescribed by an after hours clinic GP. My guess is they had been overwhelmed by the number of sick people due to the cold snap ( we are in Australia) and as we have a stockpile of this dangerous medication here in our country it is probably best to get rid of it before it is out of date. This experience frightened the life out of our family, including the patient and we are left wondering why doctors are prescribing this poison. I only wish I had found this website before he began taking it because I am sure that my husband would have elceted to ride out the flu rather than endure the side effects of this medication. It is two weeks since his last dose and only today did my daughter remark that he is almost back to his old self ( personality wise). He is still quite sick as he now has pneumonia and we believe he wouldn't have it if he hadn't taken the Tamiflu because the meds made him so sick he had to lay down and was not able to clear his lungs. He is on the second course of antibiotics and our family doesn't take a lot of drugs without a good reason. MY ADVICE - STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG. APPROACH THE FLU SENSIBLY AND YOU WILL RECOVER MORE QUICKLY AND WITH FEWER SIDE EFFECTS. We just hope all the side effects go away.	M	62	5 days 2X D		7/15/2010 Email
1	Influenza types A and B	Terrible nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, tightness in my chest, difficulty breathing, tachycardia, arrhythmia	I tested positive for influenza types A and B. I wasn't showing symptoms, but my immune system was very weak at the time and my doctor wanted to preempt any sickness, so she had me take Tamiflu. For the whole week, I was horribly ill and was genuinely scared about what this medication was doing to my health. As soon as I stopped taking it, I felt completely better.

1	Influenza b	Gvn to my son 2.5yrs for 5 dyas. Reduced flu symptoms n fever after 2 doses. My son had a relapse of flu b attack. Given second time I stopped the Medici e midway as my son got more violent. I would advice parents to think carefully before deciding to give the drug to young ones.

2	I had the flu	I took one dose of this medicine. I felt great after about 1/2 an hour (my headache, sore throat, fever, chills, and aches and pains were gone) so my husband helped me move off the couch and into bed so I could actually try and sleep. About 20 minutes in bed and I started throwing up every 10-15 minutes for 4 hours straight. I refused to take any more of the medicine. Too bad considering I paid $15 and my insurance picked up $96.00 for this.		F	25	1 days 75 mg 2X D		4/25/2010
1	h1n1 positive		My doctor prescribed me tamiflu and i was going to start but after reading this forum, I decided not to. I have to admit some of the side effects described are the same as my flu experience (without the tamiflu). especially the insomnia, my past 5 nights have been terrible, i cannot sleep, i sweat like mad (the whole day but especially at night) and my brain is just hyperactive and i feel like i'm going mad. I also have such bitterness in my mouth that it prevents me from sleeping. i suggest do not take tamiflu unless u r very seriously ill can't breathe etc coz i got past it without it and tho it was like hell, at least i did not vomit or have abdominal problems. (except slight nausea)	F	29	0 days 1X D		4/21/2010
1	early diagnosis of flu (2 days)	First day: Nausea, had to take with full meal. Drowsy and dizzy. Slow reaction time. Second day: Equilibrium affected a bit more. Third day: Sleep disturbances including, feeling of soles of feet "burning" and tingling in left leg with muscle spasm of that leg, not like restless leg. Nightmares, heart flutters.	I would not take this product again.	F	58	3 days 75 MG 2X D		4/16/2010
4	swine flu	diarrhea and skin rash	Tamiflu worked great it brought my one year olds fever from 104dg to 100dg by day two. He got diarrhea on second day along with a rash by day three. He was sleepy, but could be from the flu. This medication worked well and I would use it again if I had to. He was also prescribed omnicef for precautions so the side effects could be from that medication. When his flu swab came back positive for swine flu I gave him 2 doses that day of 30 mg. and he was showing sighns of improvement by day two. I read the post on this medication after giving him this medication and was freaked out by what was being said about this drug. Thank god he did not experiance any of those symptons, those symptoms could possibly be from the flue itself.	M	1	5 days 2X D		4/11/2010
1	Sore Throat	vomiting, ear aches, mucus discharge from eyes, red eyes, stomach ache. no sleep, dry throat, severe cough.	This medication made me feel worse. I cant believe someone would prescribe this medication when I have read dont know how many comments of how bad this med made people including me feel. Do not take this pill!!!! i stopped. everyday was a new side effect.	F	24	4 days 75 1X D		4/11/2010
1	H1N1	Strange behavior, vocal tics, aggression, hallucinations	Last November (09) my six year old son was prescribed Tamiflu for possible H1N1 flu. After the first dose, his fever spiked to 104 and he was very lethargic and refused anything by mouth. By the next morning, his fever was down and he was feeling better. BUT, the next day he started acting violent and trying to hurt himself. He also started whispering words to himself. In the following weeks he developed several vocal tics which were severe enough that we couldn't leave the house. We took him to his Pedi, a neurologist, and had several tests done. There was no explanation for his odd behavior other than the Tamiflu. Our Pedi told us that it does have neuro-psychotic side effects and that it should eventually go away. It's been almost five months and he still has some residual tics. If I had known about the potential side effects, I would have NEVER given my young son this drug.

1	Flu	I had the flu for 2 weeks before taking the drug. I did improve and got out of bed. Then I started going downhill again.	I have now been diagnosed with Post Viral syndrome but my GP and a consultant will not rule out that it could have been the Tamiflu that put my system 'off kilter' It was last August I had the flu and here we are in March and they are tlking years before i might get better. I would not recommend anyone to be a guinea pig for the drugs companies, backed by government or not.	F	50	5 days 30 1X D		3/23/2010 Email

1	daughter in contact with swine flu	My husband, myself & our 2 children, one of whom is autistic, were prescribed tamiflu in July 09. None of us had any symptoms, but were advised to take it because of suspected contact with a person who had contracted swine flu. My son, who has autism, & me have been ill ever since. We suffer ongoing severe nausea, headaches and sore throat & glands. I go to bed with a severe headache amd wake up with a severe headache. I also am always tired. I am now very depressed because i can't lead a normal, active life.		F	40	7 days 1X D		3/9/2010

1	Positive Flu Swab	During the week that I took Tamiflu I experienced; fear of sleep, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, thoughts of suicide, nausea, difficulty breathing, severe headaches, thought about quitting my job, often wanted to scream for no reason, Things that I normally do did not interest me. I know this is not my normal behavior and I thought I would investigate, I am glad to know that I am not the only one with this problem due to this drug. Two days after taking Tamiflu I still am experiencing depression and anxiety. Do NOT take this drug unless you are dying.		M	27	5 days 75MG 2X D		3/3/2010
1	FLU SYMPTOMS	CHILLS, FEVER, HAD HEAD PAINS, NO APPETITE	After taking 3 doses, my face got a rash and swelling started that has lasted almost a week now. I stopped taking the Tamiflu and the swelling got worse. I finally went to the emergency room and got a prescription for steroids to help with Benadryl. It's a slow process to reduce the swelling. I had not taken the flu shot or the H1N1 shot either. I have always refused them and have minimal colds. My mother had always had a reaction to the flu shots and thats why I refuse to take them. I trusted the prescription for me. I usually read or ask for the side effects and didn't do it this time, Will never do that again.	F	73	2 days 75MG 2X D		2/26/2010
3	suspected H1N1	Nausea, fast heartbeat, Dizzy	I got Tamiflu from the ER. Saturday I had a fever of 101, then I took Tylenol, it was brought down to 100.8, I experienced backache, muscle pain, headache, little cough, chill, nose congestion, few hours later the temperature rise to 102, I took Tylernol again, it was brought down to 101. I realized the temperature keep rising once I stop taking tylenor, Sunday nite, my temperature rise to 104F (40C). I went to ER, they prescribed Tamiflu. After the first dose, half an hour later, my temperature rise to 105F, I tried to drink plenty to fluid, and went sleep. The next day, temperature dropped to 102F. I took 2nd dose, and 12 hours later 3rd dose, the temperature still stayed between 102F and 103F. Then my doctor suggested to took tylenol at the same time, once I took tylenol, within half an hour, I started sweating, and my temperature dropped to 98F, almost back to normal, now my temperature is 97.8. and I finished taking 4th dose of Tamiflu. no backpain, no headache, no fever, no chill, but feeling nausea, stomach weird, more nose congestion. I eat piece of bread after taking Tamiflu, and feels better. I am trying to drink plenty of water after taking Tamiflu. Still have 3 more days to finish the treatment.	F	34	2 days		1/26/2010
1	Flu like symptoms	Nasea, hot flashes, stomach pain, dizziness. Horrible. Used for 3 doses. I'm done. The medicine is worst than the disease it is supposed to treat.	Visited my Dr for mild flu like symptoms. He prescribed Tamiflu.	M	39	2 days		1/26/2010 Email
1	Flu/ H1N1?? dont know	hallucinations, hot flashes, dizzy. Felt like an acid trip with out the "fun" part. I went to the drs because i was coughing really bad and my asthma was acting up, they gave me a breathing treatment and i felt better...i should have left it at that. Now im fighting to keep myself from being paranoid. It may have helped with the flu symptoms, but i would have rather had the flu for 1 more day they deal with what im going through right now.. i was supposed to take pill 2 times a day for 5 days.. i have stopped with my 5th pill. i just refuse to do it any more	trip to urgent care and dr prescribed it to me as a precautionary measure	M	28	2 days		1/26/2010
4	Diagnosed with flu	Very dry mouth. Like I would wake up because I felt so parched.	Got this from my PCP because I had the flu. He didn't bother to test me for h1n1 since I had gotten a flu shot and he was sure I had it. I had severe muscle aches, a sore threat, congested head and I was even vomiting the water I drank. Gave me tamiflu and by the next day I was able to eat and muscle aches reduced.	F	33	5 days		1/22/2010

4	flu	I had a very dry, sore throat when wake up for almost 1-1/2 weeks, weird dreams and possible mild depression. Overall, I thought the symptoms were from the flu so worth it in my opinion.	Prescribed by regular dr along with anti-inflammatory shot. My flu symptoms were 90% better within 24 hours of first dose. Day I started taking Tamiflu was also first night of rest in 48 hours since beginning of flu symptoms. Overall, it was amazing and worth the side effects. NEVER lost my appetite, if anything appetite picked up even more and I was garbage disposal. Not good for a Type II diabetic, lol.	F	38	5 days		1/21/2010 Email
3	slight flu	Bad dreams, night sweats (BAD!!!), hallucinations, short tempered.	Got from urgent care clinic, thought i simply had a sinus infection, but was diagnosed with slight flu. i was given Tamiflu and Leviquin. Bad combination. They work but the side effects are just to much. I think with regular antibiotics(amoxicillian) this would not have been such a bad ride. Never again.	M	32	5 days		1/21/2010
1	Exposed to H1N1	lack of appetite, hallucinations, cold sweats, extreme pressure in forehead, shaking, blackouts, electrical feelings or "buzzing" in the body, dizzy/blurry dream like vision, driving to work and not remembering the drive extreme anxiety, numbness and tingling, hands arms feet and face, blackouts with bright white light and inability to sleep and vertigo. Extreme lack of energy, joint pain and muscle fatigue. Many little tasks seem overwhelming. Lots of stomach problems, gassy, cramping, reflux. It has been 4 months now and I am still battling many of these side effects. I am also sure there are more that I am just forgetting right now.	Regular doctor.	M	31	10 days		1/19/2010 Email
1	Influenza Type A	Horrible, heard voices, lights, sweed a lot, fear of sleep, nightmares about dying, fever went down and he is feeling better but after 3 days of Tamilflu, we will discontinue this extremely potent drug.	My husband was diagnosed with Influenza type A and doctor prescribed Tamifu without explaining about this horrible side effects. He was afraid of going to sleep, he felt dizziness, confusion, hands numb. I feel so guilty because I gave him this drug. He won't take it anymore...	F	32	3 days		1/16/2010
2	Diagnosed with Flu	Headaches, dizziness, anxiety, paranoia, stomarch cramps, nausea, restlessness.	I was diagnosed with flu over the phone by UK NHS National Flu Pandemic Service, even though I am not entirely sure if I had swine flu, flu, or just a bad cold. Whatever it was I have had worse in the past. I was given a tamiflu 5 day course, and told to rest drink plenty of fluids etc. My flu symptoms (bad cough, temperature & sore throat)have got better.....but maybe they would have done anyway??? The side effects came on gradually and were generally worse during the evening / night time, and last night was particularly bad. I usually do try and finish a course of meds I have been given but this time reluctantly I have decided to stop taking this drug on the basis that my flu symptoms are now better, and I am now more worried about the potential side effects of this drug, than the actual flu itself. And reading the comments on this page it appears I am far from alone in what I have experienced! Politically I think the UK government is culpable of gross incompetence and neglect in handing out this expensive, largely ineffective, and potentially dangerous drug like sweats to anyone who calls the flu line and gives a few vague symptoms. The current UK labour government is always making rash & ill thought decisions and I think this is a classic example. They decided to stock pile this drug, hand it out to anyone and everyone( when in reality it needs to be used very selectively) as a knee jerk reaction, so as to be seen to be doing something about the swine flu pan	M	43	3 days		1/15/2010 Email
1	Yes	Emotional mood swing 15 mins after taking. This would settle after an hour or so into a feeling of well being for a couple of hours then Anxiety, rapid heart beat (100+...difficult to count), Audible & Visual Hallucinations, Insomnia (sleept 2hrs a night for 3 nights), more mood swings, dizzyness, buzzy head, spacey. Lasting for 10 hrs. 3 weeks later I am still experiencing hallucinations and what I can only describe as "tamiflu weirdness".	Diagnosed on NHS Flu online service with Flu or Swine Flu. 1 x 75mg every 12 hrs. I took 7 tablets and couldn't take any more. Wouldn't recommend to worst enemy. Horrific. I didn't have flu or swine flu - i had an as yet undiagnosed disease from a bite (possible Lyme)	M	50	3.5 days		1/15/2010
1	advised by the specialist	bad dreams, anxiety, depression, tired, vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea	I think the specialist doctors should consider carefully the necessity of administering this drug and advise the parents and patients carefully the possible side effects of taking this. I feel very bad that my doctor had not done so. I feel guilty that I have not been aware of the side effects and allow my daughter to take it.	F	13	5 days		1/14/2010
1	H1N1	started to menstruate. Severe trigeminal neuralgia. Increased heart rate.	swine flu hotline	F	47	2 days		1/14/2010 Email
3	Swine flu	Depression, dizziness, bad dreams, behavioral changes including increased agitation and confusion, feeling of going to die. High heart rate > 100 all the time but I'm not sure if it is a side effect of Tamiflu. It may be because of the flu. These side effects start disappearing once I finish the treatment but not suddenly. Even after 2 weeks after the treatment was finished I had strange mood changes usually in the evenings when I was tired. I'm giving the medicine 3 because it is great in doing what is suppose to do (treat the flu), but the side effects are horrible.	Tamiflu was prescribed by urgent care doctor because the fever persisted for few days. It was around 102 when she decided to gave me this medicine.	M	31	5 days		1/12/2010

5	prevention of flu after exposure	i experienced NO SIDE EFFECTS. though due to the outlandish things posted on this site, i almost did not take it. however after hearing of a patient in his 20s (i am in my 30s) who died last week from complications of the flu, i thought it was worth whatever side effects came. thankfully, i have had none whatsoever. i am taking 75mg once daily. my 4 year old daughter is taking 30mg oral suspension once daily and she has complained of a stomach ache off and on but has eaten and played normally.

2	Flu - Not H1N1	Nausea, diarrhea, confusion, emotional mood swings, body numbness	I went to an urgent care clinic after having the first signs of the flu. High fever, body aches, congestion, etc. The doctor tested me for the flu, but said it came back negative. However, she reccomended I take Tamiflu because not all types of flu show up on a test and I most likely had the flu. I only took Tamiflu for three days before I started noticing it made me dry heave, have very bad diarrhea, my hands would start to tingle/go numb and I would have emotional mood swings. It made me paranoid and feel like I was going to die. I literally laid in bed for three days crying. Once I stopped taking the pills my fever went down and I was able to get up and walk around.

1	H1N1	My 11 year old daughter was given the tamiflu for H1N1 in October, 2009. Shortly after each dose, she would experience severe dizziness. She did not have a high fever that would cause the dizziness. I called the drs. office and they recommended to keep taking the medication. Her dizziness continued. Since she has been off the medication, over 2 months, she has been experiencing dizziness, audio hallucinations and a ton of anxiety. We have been to her pediatrician, ENT twice, CT scan, Neurologist twice and now psychologist! I am so upset this horrific drug has caused all this!! Does anyone have similar symptoms or can help us. No one seems to know what to do, since this drug hasn't been given to children in these high numbers until this Swine Flu Scare!	Horrible fall out from this horrible drug! It needs to be taken off the market! We have been to several drs. and specialists! This drug has caused dizziness, anxiety and hallucinations and its been over 2 months since taking the drug.

I have no appetite, but that may still be caused from the flu symptoms...not sure.	I am pregnant and came down with some form of the flu, not sure if it's H1N1 yet.

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.

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

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

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 Email
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	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.

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.

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 Email
2	suspected swine flu	Vomited 1.5 hours after first dose. Flu symptoms improved dramatically the next day. No vomiting after further doses, but horrible moodiness, crying, irrational behaviour, nighttime waking (though this MAY have been due to the flu itself?).	It was unclear whether our son should finish the full course of tamiflu, like you would have to do with antibiotics, so we kept on in the face of awful behavioural/personality changes in our son. We will now stop the drug immediately as the flu symptoms are nearly gone, and the alternative changes have been very scary.	M	3	4 days		12/4/2009
2	Swineflu	Felt like i was in a comma like sleep all the time while i was taking it. Felt like it was making me feel worse. Stopped taking it after the 5th tablet and felt a lot better. My son in law felt the exact same as me and stopped after the 6th tablet.		M	39	3 days		12/4/2009
1	I had flu symptoms; to prevent H1N1	My 18 yr. old son was diagnosed with H1N1 and took Tamiflu with great results. He's one of the lucky few. Two days later, I began to have symptoms like his (fever, sore throat, cough) so my Dr. prescribed it for me as preventive. After the first dose, I felt light headed, dizzy, but thought it was part of my flu symptoms, as I'm never sick and didn't know what to expect. So, I took it again 12 hours later as prescribed. At 3AM I awoke, feeling very dizzy and disoriented. I couldn't tell if I was hot with fever or cold. I began to hallucinate and panic, like an out-of-body experience, my heart was racing and I thought I needed to go to the Emergency Dept. I woke my spouse and alerted him to my situation. After talking with him and taking homeopathic Rescue Remedy I began to calm down and could rest after about an hour. I stopped taking Tamiflu completely. Felt so dizzy for the next two days. I will NEVER take Tamiflu again. I have spoken with several people who also experienced	I called my doctor for prescription after my son was diagnosed w/H1N1 and I began to have the same symptoms as him.	F	54	1 days		12/4/2009

1	seasonal flu	After day 2 I started having uncontrollable crying, delusional thoughts that I had ruined my life (I am never this way), thoughts that the world would be better off with out me, depression, paranoia, irritablity and hopelessness. I immediately stopped taking Tamiflu as I knew deep down this was not typical of me and I was worried what 1 more dose would do to me. I will NEVER take Tamiflu again unless it is a life or death situation and demand to be put on 24 hour supervision. The symptoms all cleared up by the next afternoon.		F	29	2 days		12/1/2009 Email
5	Suspected Swine Flu	No side effects at all. Severity of flu symptoms greatly reduced. I am allergic to penicillin and often have side effects from drugs (especially nausea) but had none at all with this drug. I took it with a small meal as recommended.		F	32	5 days		11/30/2009
4	H1N1	Nausea, vomiting	Started taking Tamiflu ~6 hours after I started getting flu symptoms. Took away my fever, chills, body soreness right away.. The nausea/vomiting has been occuring 2 hours after taking the pill like clockwork. Even with food. Have been on for 3 days and not sure if I will finish out the course.	F	25	3 days		11/30/2009
1	my son was diagnosed w/h1n2	My son started feeling sick on the 27th of Oct at 3am when he began vomiting every two hours... almost like clockwork. He had a 102.5 fever and liquid stools. I called his pediatrician the next morning to get him an appointment, they said to bring him down as soon as possible. We did that and they diagnosed him with the h1n1 virus and strep throat. The prescribed him tamiflu and amoxicillin. Both in pill form. He is 8 and had trouble swallowing the pills and would throw them right up. I had to call the doctor's office back up and the pharmacy and finally was able to get the amoxicillin in liquid form... the tamiflu they said to open the capsule and mix it with applesauce or pudding... now I don't imagine either one of those being easy on a stomach when vomiting is present. But I did it. Two weeks went by and he'd finished both medicines and was still feeling the same minus the vomiting. I called the office and they said give it a few more days and if there is no improvement to	information on his gender and age	M	8	10 days		11/30/2009

Months later still ill, many different symptoms, Painful Mouth problems, stomach problems, persistent diarrhea, depression, still receiving treatment. Don't take this medicine, not enough is known about it, I did not have the choice whilst in hospital, and have no idea about the cocktail of anti biotic given along with Tamiflu.	Urgent emergency admission to hospital, although it was known that I had pneumonia I was isolated and treated for Swine Fever the tests for which were negative I then went on to receive the correct treatment for pneumonia.I think that I was given Tamiflu over a 5 day period of a three week stay in hospital.

1	Flu	I got tamiflu from my doctor. He was so excited about it because it was provided by the government, which means it's cheaper for those who CHOOSE not to have health insurance. The day after I started taking it my throat was extremely sore. I woke up unable to breathe through out the night! I thought it was just my flu at first. Then on the second day I broke out with a rash all over my body. It felt as though my skin was on fire. I would have been better off alternating between Dayquil and Nyquil!!!!!!!!!!

DONT TAKE TAMIFLU YOU CAN DIE!!!!!!!!!!!! this needs to stop now!!!!!!!!		F	28	4 days		11/27/2009
1	Preventative, my daughter had flu	My throat swelled and it became real hard to swallow. I also had a very hard time breathing. I thought it was because of the flu and my asthma but when it happened the next day about the same time I figured out it was a reaction to the TamiFlu. I took benedril and went to the doctor. He gave me a steroid shot and told me to stop taking it. I stayed on the benedril and threw away the Tamiflu. I did not experience the swelling the next day. My throat and chest are just sore and irritated.	I got the tamiflu from my doctor. I just want others to know throat swelling is a side affect if you are allergic and keep the benedril handy. I only took one tablet at night for 2 days and the throat swelling happend about 10 the next morning. I take an allergy pill every night and decided that probably helped the allergic response to the Tamiflu.	F	50	2 days		11/26/2009
1	H1N1 hospital	vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, agitation, anxiety, stomach cramps, horrible panic attacks	I was prescribed tamiflu in the hospital H1N1 positive. I was ok for the first 3 days and after that I began having awful side effects. My doctor prescribed zofran for the vomting which helped, but this med was not worth taking. I had severe anxiety as well. Not a pleasant expereience!	F	36	5 days		11/25/2009 Email
1	h1n1	The side effects are not worth it unless you're dying! nausea, very bad stomach cramps, nosebleeds, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, racing thoughts, agitation, anxiety, could not sleep/focus. state of panic...(i'm an otherwise healthy counselor with a full time job and children) these side effects occurred by the 3rd day. i do not recommend this drug.

3	Flu - Unspecified (respiratory)	I started having a menstrual period within 30 min. of taking the first dose. I was not due for one, and it was a bit lighter than a normal one with no cramps. It's starting to ease up now that I finished the final dose. I also had diarrhea start up, don't know if that was from the flu or the medicine. I still have it. My fever broke after a day on the Tamiflu, but coughing and wheezing continued and I am still needing asthma inhalers, although no longer taking the cheratussin. Most noticeable was an intense fear and anxiety that I was going to die. It's so bad that I keep crying like a baby. I do have PTSD and have medicine I can take for anxiety, but it's not helping with this level of fear. It hasn't gotten better yet and I'm afraid to go out. So, my results with this medicine were mixed with bad side effects.	Visited my regular doctor.	F	50	5 days		11/24/2009

However, I start to cough with yellowish mucus and some chest pain. I can't sleep in second night. After taken viatamin and minerals, I can sleep and less cough and no chest pain.

3	H1N1	Diarrhea for myself. Irritated stomach and occasional vomiting for my partner.	My partner and I both developed sypmtoms and thought we just had very bad colds. We went to a hospital overflow clinic for people with flu symptoms and were checked my a doctor. He exammed us and determined that he felt we had h1n1. Given our condition he thought it was best to give us tamiflu as we live in a remote place and it would have taken up to a week to get results back. I had been violently coughing non-stop and after taking two doses of tamiflu the coughing minamilized greatly. My partner seemed to recover in the five day period we were talking the medication which was surprising given he had it for at least four days prior to recieving medication. By day all my aches and pains went away but I still have a cough. Although it is not as awful and constant as the cough I initially had, I am not happy that even after taking that medication I am not completely back to normal.	F	26	5 days		11/20/2009

What a crock this medicine is. Not only that, it cost 115.00 dollars and theres no generic for it. Could that be because Donald Rumsfeld owns 18 billion in stock in this company?

It makes me a little dizzy and lightheaded, but nothing awful.

The first day it made me vomit a few times, but come the second and third day the fever was gone. But on the 4th day after taking the pill in the AM, I got extremely dizzy while driving and had to pull over. The dizzy spells come and go but they're incredibly intense, I'm afraid to drive. I can't finish taking the last day of the prescription because I drive for work and can't risk getting in an accident. I'd take this medication to lower your fever and to get rid of the risk of being contagious, but not for the full 5 days.	F	22	4 days		11/19/2009 Email
