| 2 | My 16 y.o. son took it | My son broke out in a rash. | I will never have TAMIFLU prescribed again to my kids. I had 4 of my kids get the flu and they were out of commission for 5 days. You know what? They didn't die. Nor did I when I got the flu as a kid. Sometimes it is better for your body to fight sickness and build up your immune system. | M | 16 | 2 days Not sure 2X day | 2/17/2015 | 1 | Diagnosed with the flu | Started vomiting 30 minutes after taking one pill. Continued to vomit for 8 hours. I also had diarrhea and nausea. I felt like I had food poisoning. About two hours after the pill, I was dizzy and a hard time walking straight. This stopped after about 4 hours. | I am sensitive to medicine and this was my first experience with this drug. I am not taking any more pills, because my flu symptoms are more bearable than the side effects. I did take the pill with food and that did not help. My fiancée has taken Tamiflu in the past and he loved it. It did help him. | F | 42 | 1 days 75mg | 2/17/2015 | 5 | positive for influenza A | None. Took it with food as recomended by dr | Started taking it the 3rd day of symptoms including fever, coughing, neck, back pain, sneezing muscle aches, and runny nose by the. following morning just runny nose remains, other symptoms gone. 5th day almost there | M | 60 | 2 days 75 mg | 2/16/2015 | 5 | Diagnosed with flu | Dry mouth | This drug, clearly has side affect on certain patients, however, I am one of the lucky ones who suffered none! Took one pill within 24 hours of the first symptoms and within 48 hours and after 4 pills I was completely clear of all flu symptoms..... AMAZING! | M | 48 | 5 days 2X day | 2/14/2015 | 4 | flu | Severe weakness | F | 5 days 75mg | 2/14/2015 | 2 | Flu | Blood in stool | F | 68 | 3 days 75 MG | 2/13/2015 | 1 | flu | Extreme nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, out of touch feeling | Thanks, but no thanks. Never again! | F | 41 | 1 days | 2/13/2015 | 3 | type a influenza | bad very uncomfortable bloating,stomach pain, and nausea,insomnia,itchy scalp, dizziness. | after 1st pill I felt great,but as the days/nights of dosages went on, I had worse symptoms. Even with eating when taking it. I have taken 5 pills but will stop there. Flu symptoms are doing well and almost gone. Make note, this is not an antibiotic so stopping it WILL NOT bring on a stronger super bug flu. The doctor said this to me. | F | 55 | 2 days 75 2X day | 2/12/2015 | 1 | Influenza Type A | I felt like I was drugged, going crazy and not my self and having thoughts implanted into my head | I was on Tamiflu for 5 days (2 times a day). Shortly after I started it, I noticed that I was getting depressed which is not normal. I also started to have an altered state of mind, which visually to me was like when you are viewing someone's dream on TV where some things are in focus, but a lot of them are blurred and you have no control over what is going on. I was told that I would frequently "zone out" and stare off into nothing and become 100% un-responsive to people, which could last for a few seconds to quite a few minutes. I have my full review of this at (dropbox) http://bit.ly/1CisgAs as my review of this is more than the allowed 1500 characters. | M | 36 | 5 days 45 MG 2X day | 2/12/2015 | 3 | Influenza A | Dosage 6mg/ml suspension - take 7.5 ml twice daily. My 4 y/o son fever reached 103 on the first day. The fever was reduced by tylenol and motrin (alternating). Second day, his fever spiked to 104 and wouldn't drop below 102.5 with normal meds. It was on Sunday evening so we had to take my son to the urgent care center. | Day 2 - first dose of tamiflu was given at midnight and straight to bed. All is well. Day 3 - he woke up and complained of stomachache. It was alleviated with ginger ale. After breakfast he vomited. He received 2nd dose after lunch. He vomited 1 hr later. After nap time he had some milk. He vomited again. We gave his some pedialyte, and bit of food. We stopped giving him tamiflu all together. 4th day - he woke up complaining of pain on both his legs. He walks around on tip-toe. Which led me to do some research and found this site. His fever is now controllable with tylenol and motrin again. Stomachache, vomiting and legs pain are the adverse effect he had. Thankfully he didn't have any psychological effect. My son only had 2 doses so I can't say if the tamiflu helped or not. Hopefully I don't have to give my son tamiflu ever again. | M | 4 | 5 days 2X day | 2/10/2015 | 1 | 6 yr old with flu | My 6 year old son started tamiflu after 5 days from initial symptoms and a terrible cough. He was diagnosed with the flu a. He took one dose at 8:00 pm and 1 hour latter had severe hives and then just passed out. That was the only dose he took and today his cough is better but his hives are still there and itchy. He seems a bit annoyed and just sort of blah...not normal. He is fidgity and overall not him self. I will never give this to my child again. He also expressed fear of random normal things like his dinner! weird. DO NOT GIVE THIS TO YOUR CHILD!!!!! Worse mistake ever. | M | 6 | 1 days 2X day | 2/10/2015 | 4 | Influenza A | Severe abdominal bloating, gas, diarrhea (liquid), and nausea. I also feel very disconnected/loopy. | The clinical signs of influenza were severe. I was thankful to get relief from the fever, chills, malaise, and night sweats. However, I do not think the side effects of Tamiflu are worth the "feeling better 1 day earlier." | F | 34 | 2 days 75mg 2X day | 2/9/2015 | 3 | had influenza A per doctor | I was told by the doctor that did a flu swab and told me I had Influenza A (common bad flu). Side effects: I got a bad migraine for 7 days (horrible) I took other headache meds and it would start to go away until my next dose then it came back, long lasting cough, had high fever, had weird thoughts, anxiety, did not want to travel from my home city, had major congestion that was blocked from coming out from the meds, but it came out after I finished medication. I do not recommend this Tamiflu. Just take over the counter meds and advil for fever. | I do not recommend this Tamiflu. | F | 36 | 7 days 75mg 2X day | 2/9/2015 | 3 | influenza B | After taking Tamiflu for the 3rd day, my daughter woke up in the middle of the night with bloating and discomfort in her belly. She has not had a bowel movement since starting the Tamiflu. Other then this she has been nauseated a little bit from it. | Not sure whether she should stop taking it. | F | 14 | 3 days | 2/7/2015 | 3 | Flu symptoms | Insomnia since day one took the pill ,the 3rd day of taking this pill noticed fingers hands felt cramp and numbed ...for no reason but the pill has helped reduce the fever and flu ..so have not have good sleep in the past 3 days...so I don't know if should continue take it or not...because I really need to get my good sleep back . | M | 46 | 3 days 75MG 2X day | 2/7/2015 | 1 | Diagnosed w flu in emergency room | Extreme hives body twitching crying spells and fear from being spooked at nothing visable | Don't give Tamiflu to children. Only shortens flu an average of 21 hours and side effects far outweigh the benefits. Drug company is being investigated for this and one other drug. Read side effects And beware of using this poisen. | F | 1 | 4 days | 2/6/2015 | 2 | Flu syndrome | Horrible migraine, vomiting Rapid heartbeat the night before | I am stopping this med, between the flu and side effects I am super sick. Migraine was just the worst. | F | 55 | 2 days 75 2X day | 2/5/2015 | 1 | influenza | Depressed mood. Crying. Headaches. Flat feeling. Heart racing. It's now 4 days since last dose and only just starting to feel a bit better. I have never reacted to medication before. Would not recommend this med. to anyone. | F | 53 | 5 days 75 mg 2X day | 2/5/2015 | 4 | Influenza A | Nausea on an empty stomach, gas/pain taken on full stomach, very strange dreams | My most severe flu symptoms (fever, pain, headache) resolved almost completely within 6 hours of taking first dose. Overall, the side effects were mild considering the immediate efficacy. Unsure if all doses necessary. Copay was outrageous. | F | 39 | 5 days 75 2X day | 2/4/2015 | 4 | Tested positive for flu | Started feeling bad with body aches runny nose congestion cough fever chills constantly on Sunday at 2:30, barely made it to dr next day, tested positive, started tamiflu Monday, felt 50% better Tuesday, still sore, weak changes I noticed were I cried a lot during the day and my scalp so tender. Tuesday night I had nightmares all night but definitely helped my flu symptoms , | I made sure to eat when I took it. It helped me feel better by the next day. Took 75 mg twice a day, still weak in day 3 but so much better than I did on Sunday | F | 47 | 2 days 75 mg | 2/4/2015 |
