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. (See also Notes section.)   FDA Approval Date: 1999-10-27 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 4  Influenza B Dizziness, Headache, Irrational thoughts, oversleeping, Reduced fever with only one pill. Kicked the flu symptoms immediately. Side effects were trippy. Slept 12 hours every night on these pills. And if I got up in the night, I was dizzy and could barely walk. My fears were irrational and paranoid. The side effects are worth getting rid of the flu.

 2  Flu Insomnia,Burning Skin,Headache This was my first TAMIFLU usage.I've had the flu before but this year's flu gave me unbearable muscle pain especially in the lower back,rear end,hamstrings and calves. TAMIFLU did relieve most of the muscle discomfort and reduced my high fever.The tradeoff was instant insomnia and I averaged only one to two hours sleep each day I took TAMIFLU.I've never had any sleep issues before this drug.I also experienced headache a few hours after each dosage and intermittent bouts of burning skin over various parts of my body.Given the $100 cost,I'll not take this poison ever again.

 4  Tested positive for flu Helped me with symptoms but I was still in bed for 4 days with aches. Tamiful gave me a headache and mild stomach upset after 2nd day. Also made me extremely emotional. But over all I'm happy with tamiflu. My daughter is 8 and was prescribed tamiflu profallictally as she has asthma. Once daily for 10 days. No problems to date. It's been 5 days. F 43 5 days

 3  Flu and (exposure to flu patient) On day 4, lower back pain became unbearable and I did not take day 5's dose... (There are 5 days of doses). The 102 fever broke on day one and I was pleased overall with the medication The medication did have a favorable effect on my probable flu and I was able to stay on the job without too much issue and even exercise. The backaches on day 4 that are still an issue on day 5 (even being off the medication) remain a concern.... Would I take this again? Well, if there are either important work or personal matters ahead, I might consider risking the back ache side effect. That will depend on of course, that these back pains do subside in a day or so. M 60 4 days

 1  flu A Had severe headache, had attributed that to the flu until reading other posts about the same from the drug. Had nausea but was tolerable, the sleeplessness was not. I sleep easily 8 hrs every night so knew the med was to blame for this. Stopped taking on day 4 and over 48 hrs later I still have a headache and have has severe diarrhea since stopping it. I'll tough out the symptoms sans tamiflu next time for sure. F 31 5 days

 1  flu Out of touch with reality, stomach bloated, nausea, insomnia, anxiety, dizziness. I had the flu for 4 days, decided to try Tamiflu. I had with food. I had one on the strangest nights of my life. I do feel better, but definitely won't continue taking it. Just too much for me. F 29 1 days

 1  tested positive for flu Lost control of leg and arm muscles and also sense of smell and taste. Not only did this make my flu worse but over 2 months later I still have no sense of smell or taste. Horrible experience. Would not recommend. F 79 5 days

 1  Diagnosed with the flu Stomach pain, horrible diarrhea, disconnected feeling, headaches, minor memory loss, bad, vivid dreams This was not worth the barely shortened flu symptoms. These were the worst drug side effects I've ever experienced and I work in the pharma industry. I think there needs to be additional clinical testing done on this drug. This was really bad.

 3  Influenza A Took first dose without food, nausea and vomiting occurred. Subsequent doses with food and no nausea but mild stomach ache. Severe headache after each dose, headache was not one of the flu symptoms I'd been experiencing. High anxiety, continues despite finishing meds 2 days ago. Insomnia. Did shorten severity and length of flu, flu symptoms started to subside within 36h. Fever broke at 48h. F 39 5 days

 1  flu symptoms (100.7F) Just came home from an expensive trip to the ER for terrible abdominal pain, which the ER doctor told me was a side effect of Tamiflu. Do you know that people call tamiflu - tummyflu? Anyway, the ER doctor said he would never take tamiflu and that the studies show that it really only cuts flu symptom length by 1 day so it's not even worth it. Do not take tamiflu!! F 33 5 days

 4  influenza A Diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, insomnia, hallucinations, bloating I'm on day 3 of tamiflu and feel much better than day 1. However I have been hallucinating which is scary. I've tied that to my lack of sleep. I also haven't eaten solid foods. Still on my liquid diet and feel very tired. Migraine still persists. Tamiflu has made me feel better. But the side effects are also pretty extreme. Been near a toilet to prevent accidents. F 25 3 days

 2  Daugter 6 yo diag influenza A Nausea and vomitting 1st day, bad dreams, stomach pain. Fever went down on 2nd day but came back on day 3. Seems like getting over the flu without this drug would be better. It is also very expensive compared to OTC drugs. F 6 4 days
