| 1 | Influenza B | Horrible metallic taste in mouth which made me nauseous. Dizzy, no energy, loss of appetite. Stopped taking drug, although still sick with the flu, felt much better. Dizziness gone. Metallic taste is finally slowly going away after being off the drug for five days. | Worst drug that I have ever taken. Will never take it again. Did not do anything to alleviate the flu. Actually, made me feel worse. Not to mention the over $100 price tag for nothing! Should be taken off the market. | F | 77 | 3 days 75 mg 2X day | 4/1/2017 | 4 | Flu | Slight angry feelings, vivid dreams | I was prescribed for positive flu test. I was also within a 48hr window of symptoms starting. Dr said if past the window of 72 hrs, he would not prescribe. Overall, no side effects other than angry outburst 1 time and vivid dreams. It has helped and though it is costly, insurance picked up most of the cost, it seems worth it. Thankfully I have not had any of the bad side effects that other experience. Like all medication, it reacts differently with everyone. | F | 47 | 3 days | 3/30/2017 | 2 | influenza B | Feeling anxious,very dry mouth, it may causing constipation,no smell,lost of appetite, tired and moody. | No more chills and fever on my 4th day. | F | 63 | 1 days 75mg | 3/29/2017 | 1 | Influenza B | I tested positive for the flu, they prescribed me Tamiflu. The first day I took the dose in the morning and one at night. At 5am I woke up with the worst headache known to man, my nose started bleeding and then the severe nausea set in. I decided not to take anymore of this medicine. I rather ride the flu out, I was in worse condition after taking the Tamiflu. I DO NOT RECOMMEND TAKING THIS...I never fill out reviews but feel I had to on this one. | F | 42 | 1 days 75 | 3/28/2017 | 2 | Flu B | Wired,extremely nauseous,headaches, vomiting non stop. | I am 14, was diagnosed on 3/26/17. I was concerned about the side effects occurring, they were different from the listed side effects. I've been wired for the past two nights. Terrible head aches. Vomiting all the time. When I took the first pill I felt sinus relief about 30 minutes after but it came back. I'm very dissatisfied with Tamiflu. Luckily I have medicaid. Tamiflu is very expensive and most kids do not have the luxury of having medicaid, $129.99 isn't gonna pay itself. | F | 14 | 2 days 75 MG | 3/27/2017 | 1 | Diagnosed Influenza B | After first dose I was vomiting. I took the next couple of doses with food and that helped until the fourth day. By the fourth day I was vomiting all day and had severe diarrhea. I contacted my doctor and he said to stop the Tamiflu right away. My last dose was over 24 hours ago and I'm still experiencing diarrhea, light headedness and lack of appetite. | F | 41 | 4 days 75 | 3/27/2017 | 1 | Tested positive | Well let me say, im constipated, i can not sleep for the life of me. They never had this drug when I was younger , My son has the flu too. He is having a hard time on this stuff too. I really wish my doctor wouldn't have recommended the stuff right in front of him , kind of put me on the spot to have to get it. You know. You feel obligated at that point not cool. My doctors office is going to hear about it. And if the doctors going to offer if they need to tell you right up front with those consequences are . Side effects etc... i've had the flu a lot . And this medicine is expensive. Ride it out!! | F | 47 | 2 days 75 mg | 3/26/2017 | 1 | Positive flu test | Healthy female. Tested positive for the flu virus on 3/22/17 started Tamiflu that night. Stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, ringing in ears completely wired out and could not sleep. After 3rd dose called Dr. said I could cut down to once a day but would be better if I continued. Rx Zofran for Nausea. Took the 5th pill tonight so wired out cannot sleep, same symptoms. I will not continue in the morning. I literally think I would feel great if I wasn't taking this medicine. Would never take again or recommend. Please let this night be over and this medicine get out of my system so my body can rest. | F | 53 | 3 days 75mg | 3/25/2017 | 1 | Flu prevention | Gave my 31 yo daughter with Down Sydrome one dose of liquid tamiflu and 90 minutes later she incurred her first ever nose bleed. A doctor recommended not giviving her anymore. What's in tamiflu that could this type reaction? | F | 31 | 1 days 12.5 1X day | 3/25/2017 | 5 | Positive for both strands of the flu | My daughter is 8 and she was very sick and tested positive for both strands of the flu, luckily we caught it quick and started Tamiflu and 2 days later, she was a new kid. She had absolutely no side effects! Love love love | F | 8 | 3 days | 3/23/2017 | 1 | I had the flu | My whole mouth had inflammation. The gums sore and swollen ,feeling burnt as if the skin was peeling as well as my tongue. I couldn't eat, it has been 2 days off of tamiflu an my gums and tongue are still very painful. | F | 5 days | 3/22/2017 | 1 | Child was diagnosed with the flu. | Hallucination, urinating on himself as he slept for four hours. | I gave my child this medication against my better judgement. I also had to take it because Im 3 months pregnant. I vomited and was sick for the rest of the day.I DISCONTINUED THIS MEDICATION AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TAKE IT. | F | 38 | 1 days 7.5mg | 3/20/2017 | 5 | flu treatment | Very awake trying to sleep the third night. | Began taking Tamiflu less than 12 hours after the symptoms began. I felt horrible the next 24 hours, but was in bed the entire time, I was up and moving by the third day. | F | 19 | 1 days 75mg | 3/18/2017 | 5 | Tested positive for Influenza | Itching; insomnia; bloating | Felt so much better after 4 hours of taking my 1st dose. Barely took my 2nd dose 2 hours ago and I am already feeling like myself again. So far I am very satisfied with the results. I would definately take this medication again. | F | 34 | 1 days 75mg | 3/18/2017 | 1 | type A flu | I am a healthy individual who for the first time in life caught the flu from coworkers. This man made drug caused me to have an extreme headache, itchy skin, anxiety/depression, foggy brain,ringing in ears,no appetite,cough, weak legs,insomnia,dizziness; this was my first and last time taking this drug and hope all who read this do the same do not take this drug. I did not finish the dosage of this medication and hope soon it is out of my system . I will rely on a more holistic Alternative way of healing definitely no more synthetic drugs. | I turned to herbal supplements and juicing raw fruit and vegetables. We all have the power to heal ourselves by natural means. Google websites that will give helpful info on natural healing or herbs to take base on illness you have; also I used YouTube to get info on what would help me. | F | 50 | 3 days 75 mg | 3/18/2017 | 1 | Type A Flu | Confusion and I still feel like I'm not in my body. | M | 2 days 75mg 2X day | 3/16/2017 | 1 | Flu | Severe dizziness, diarrhea, vomiting, insomnia. Horrible experience. Called my doctor and she said to stop taking it because I had a bad reaction . I think it's because I didn't take it right after my symptoms appeared . I think it's better to ride out the flu because the side effects of this medication are worse. | F | 62 | 1 days | 3/12/2017 | 2 | flu like symptoms | After about an hour of taking Tamiflu felt horrible anxiety, racing pulse, disoriented. Then came chest pains and super dry mouth. I was drinking water constantly. Tried to sleep all night but couldn't. Would drop off for a few minutes and wake up scared with weird bits of dreams in my head. Finally got some rest at around 5am and woke with HUGE headache. Told my Doctor about side effects but she said they were coincidental and I should keep taking it. I won't. I will say the one dose may have actually helped my flu symptoms - temp is down to 99.5 from 102 but side effects too scary. | F | 48 | 1 days 75mg 2X day | 3/11/2017 | 2 | Prevention after exposure | The first day after taking the pill I had extreme dry mouth and throat. The next day I had the same. The third day I had the continued dry mouth and throat but add an itchy palms of hands and feet. The fourth day both of those symptoms increased after taking the pill. The fifth day, it finally dawned on me that it was probably the Tamiflu, but I had already taken the fifth pill. Now, later on in the evening, my entire body is itchy including my scalp, and my back has a terrible rash. I will not be taking any more. | My son had the flu; we decided that it would be best to prevent the entire family from getting the flu. None of our doctors would simply write a prescription as they have in the past. I've never taken the Tamiflu because of the price; I previously elected to take the generic of the cheaper prescription–Whatever there was before there was a Tamiflu. My eldest daughter had a baby due, and we did not want to get the flu! Well, we didn't get the flu, and my son is the longer contagious; whatever, I don't know if I can sleep now with all the itchiness. | F | 52 | 5 days 75 mg | 3/10/2017 | 1 | flu | Itchy burning Hives, headache, swelling of stomach (bloating), chills, fever, sore throat, diarherra, dizziness | This drug is awful. I would rather just go thru the flu then ever take it again. I took 10 full doses the first night couldn't sleep. Flu symptons subsided after day. When I finished the 5th day, I woke up to itching burning hives, bloated stomach, chills, fever, headache, dizzy, diarrhea, sore throat and very fatigued. | F | 63 | 5 days 2X day | 3/10/2017 |
