TAMIFLU  (OSELTAMIVIR PHOSPHATE):  Oseltamivir is used to treat symptoms caused by the flu virus (influenza). It helps make the symptoms (such as stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, fever/chills, aches, tiredness) less severe and shortens the recovery time by 1-2 days. This medication may also be used to prevent the flu if you have been exposed to someone who already has the flu (such as a sick household member) or if there is a flu outbreak in the community. Talk to your doctor for more details. This medication works by stopping the flu virus from growing. It is not a substitute for the flu vaccine.

 3  Flu B Seemed to help at first. Broke my fever on first night but then came diarrhea after every meal. It over dried my system to the point my mucus was like tacky glue. Difficulty in breathing to clear the lungs out. Jittery feeling and dizziness. Frequent urination and loss of bladder control. F 40 4 days

 4  Flu Night sweats Worked well for me. I think I had a mild case of the flu because I had taken a flu shot earlier in the year. My Dr. confirmed I had the flu but I only felt terrible 1 day. I started taking Tamiflu and felt better pretty quickly. I stopped taking it in the forth day because I felt I didn't need it any more. I was also taking Naproxen Sodium the first day and never had a fever that I noticed. I also used Nyquil at night to help sleep. Tamiflu and Nyquil are OK together according to what I read online.

 5  flu Slight headache, gassy, loose bowel movements, weird/bad dreams. Fixed me up in a day - I had only been sick less than 24 hours when I began taking Tamiflu. Stopped flu in its tracks. I've used before and it worked great then too. F 55 3 days

 4  Lab confirmed influenza B Hot flashes, excitability, farting I had an almost non-existent flu, but decided to take this to ward off any potential serious effects. I'm glad I did because I didn't end up getting sickly. Since I never had a fever, I have to chalk up the menopause symptoms to the medication, since the timing lines up. I will say I started farting these awful stink bombs the very first day. Otherwise, no complaints. M 42 3 days

I started the 4th day doses and have nausea like crazy...coughing phlegm w/o blood Can't sleep on 4th night...anything drank produces cough with phlegm I wouldn't take this again M 36 4 days

 1  FLU Disorientation, irrational thoughts, paranoia, anxiety, depression, confusion, memory loss, inability to concentrate, insomnia, restlessness, skin sensations, loss of appetite, hallucinations By my second full day on the medication, I started experiencing the side effects described. I believe Tamiflu somehow disrupts the chemical balance in the brain, especially for those who are prone to anxiety, or whose brains haven't completely developed (children). Maybe it crosses the blood brain barrier causing damage? I discontinued the medication after my 4th dose and continued having effects days after discontinuation. I didn't sleep or eat for a full 48 hours! I literally thought I was going crazy and felt as though I would be "stuck" in that state permanently! Doctor said it was a rare reaction and to wait 72 hours for the drug to exit my system. He prescribed Xanax to relieve the anxiety and to help me sleep. The relief from the anxiety was almost immediate after xanax and my appetite returned about 3 days after my last dose of Tamiflu. Unfortunately, the "trippy" brain stuff remained for close to a year, like I was on a permanent acid trip with scary altered perceptions and thoughts, and it completely destroyed my metabolic homeostasis-weight loss, energy depletion, sleep disruptions, etc. Better now several years later but it changed my life!

 1  Flu My daughter took one dose at about 7:30 in the evening. By 2 in the morning she was having uncontrollable nose bleeds. She finally woke me up at 4 when they wouldn't stop. When I went into the bathroom with her she was on the floor and could not remember how she got on the floor. She stood back up over the sink and seconds later she was fainting again luckily I was in the bathroom with her to catch her so she didn't hit her head on the sink. We went to ER and was then advised of the side effects of the drug. Since then she still gets dizzy and lightheaded. She's scared to go to the bathroom without me and to be honest I'm scared for her to move without me. I will never take or give this drug to my children again. F 17 1 days

 5  Exposure to flu with symptoms start My symptoms were mild compared to other years where I have had the flu. I took it right at the first sign of symptoms because my husband already had the flu and was very ill. I usually have lingering cough with gross stuff coming up from my lungs for weeks after any cold or flu, but I was over this one in 3 to 4 days and never felt really bad. This was my second experience with the drug and similar to the first. I also took one pill just before getting my flu shot one year and had no symptoms of the flu like I would typically get after the flu shot. I had no adverse reaction to this drug. I would take it again, but everyone is different. F 48 5 days

 1  INFLUENZA B It did make me feel like I had a hallucination but could have been flu. This drug did not help at all even taking it I was sick for 30+ days. I'm a healthy individual and have perfect levels in my blood. To me this dragged the flu out besides making it shorter. Then when I stopped, I felt fine a few days and got sick again for two more weeks. So, my opinion its like it slows the duplication of the virus and when you stop it boom it goes back to duplicating fast. So it dragged my flu out. Not only that, but I felt horrible. I mean I never was this sick in my life. I'm just glad this season I can't catch B again because its more rare and obviously vicious. M 33 10 days

 1  Prevent getting flu from wife Racing heart, delirious, nightmares, shallow breathing. My breathing grew worse every day so I quit taking it after 4 days. Breathing gradually got worse even after stopping medicine. Ended up in ER two weeks later with heart failure. Have had every heart test done and it's a small chance that I recover from this within a year. If no improvement, I may need heart transplant. If you are considering taking this, do not do it unless you have no other choice! M 47 4 days
