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we have a stockpile of this dangerous medication here in our country it is probably best to get rid of it before it is out of date.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	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	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

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.

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 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 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
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.

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.

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	Had a fever of 38.8, and cough. -	A few hours after taking the first pill, i started to feel sick with stomach cramps and thought i was going to throw up. The pains got stronger and i decided to go upstairs and lie down. Next thing I remembered, i was on the floor half way down the stairs. As soon as I woke up, I could not speak.I tried to get up but passed out again. My daughter heard me fall down and found me lifeless and staring at the cealing. She could not get any response from me and called the ambulance. By the time I came through, I was sweating and breathing very heavily. Fever did suddenly drop from 38.8 to 37.6	i got the medication after visiting the urgent care clinic.	F	48	1 times		11/20/2009 Email

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?

1	Early Flu Symptoms	Took first dose on an empty stomach (not smart with any meds) and within a half hour was violently vomiting. Decided not to take two doses in one day in fear of getting deathly ill. Felt better after about the first 2 or 3 hours. Trouble sleeping that night. Next day decided to try it again with food in my stomach, same thing, vomited for a few hours but then felt better. Again, decided not to take the recommended two pills a day. So the next day I decided I would hold off to see how I would feel without it and my chest cold and what not came right back so I took a dose and again, within about a half hour I was more ill than I had ever been from the flu or even the tamiflu. I would never take this medicine again because it is just too harsh on my body. It did take my flu symptoms away after the two or three hours of being violently ill. Definitely not worth the trade off at this point. Lost way to much weight from not being able to keep food down! Use with caution and make sur	Emergency room DR	F	18	3 times		11/18/2009
1	fever 101.2 and head ache	my 12year old daughter was prescribed tamiflu by her doctor for fever 101.2 and headache.(flu like symptoms). After day 3 her glands behind her ears were swollen and painful, called advise nurse and they said it was just from her body fighting whatever she had and to continue with tamiflu, after the next dose the swelling increased and she had big lymph nodes and pain getting worse. Had the doctor check her again next day.He said, She developed Parotid glands(mumps) and he advised to stop tamiflu.Swelling seemed to stop after tamiflu was stoped and it is day 3 after tamiflu has been stopped, and her nodes have not gone down yet, she missed a week of school and couldn't do anything ,doctor said will take time for it to go away. She still is in pain but subsiding and cannot move her head freely. I do not recomend tamiflu.	regular doctor	F	12	4 days		11/18/2009
1	Flu Type A	My 9yr old daughter started taking Tamiflu. Three days after she had to stop taking the Tamiflu because she started experiencing feeling paranoid, insomnia, agitation, nausea, aching all over, headache, joint neck and muscle pain, crying uncontrobably, feeling of something being wrong, dizzy, shakiness, disconnected, irritability, she says she feels like she is going crazy. Now has a sinus infection and fluid behind both ears on top of all of this that hasn't went away and now been fourteen days since she stopped the medicine. What kind of medicine is this, it has helped nothing and caused tons of problems. She always has been a very laid back child with straight A's now she is so unhappy from all of this going on it's like she is depressed and constantly says mommy when is this going to go away. I have no answers and no one can seem to give me any.

The next day the same thing except that she was now dizzy on top of the other side effects. She fell every time I put her down and screamed to be held.

About a half hour later she threw up excessively. It is now about 3 and a half hours since that dose and she has thrown up 3 additional times, not as much. She seems to have dry mouth and a bad taste in her mouth. She also said her stomach hurts. If she continues to throw up I will take her to ER. I'm not giving her anymore Tamiflu.

1	flu symptoms	nausea, lighted-headed (really weird feeling like in lala land), trouble sleeping, ear infection, eye infection, nose bleed	received tamiflu after calling telehealth and advised to go to doctors. Felt worse after taking each pill. Was light headed and felt like i was in lala land. Could not get out of bed. Within 15 minutes of taking 3rd pill, my ear became blocked and couldn't hear out of it, intense pressure in right ear (throbbing) painful, stood up and had nose bleed (never get nose bleeds). Called telehealth again - they advised to see dr before i take next dose. Doctor took me off Tamiflu and put me on apo-amoxi clav 875-125 bc i had ear infection. By the time i arrived home my left eye has been discharging oddles and oddles of pus. Called telehealth again. Advised to go back to dr for antibiotic for eye infection. I rarely take antibiotics. WOULD NEVER TAKE TAMIFLU AGAIN. WOULD NEVER GET THE H1N1 SHOT EITHER. Good old chicken soup and tyelnol is the best. Better off suffering through the flu than taking Tamiflu. Telehealth was great though.	F	48	3 times		11/12/2009
1	Flu (Possibly H1N1)	Nausea, Extreme stomach discomfort, shakiness, insomnia, loss of appetite and vomiting.	I got this medication from my doctor because I was in the "high risk." The first two days taking it it seemed to help, but the next day was a living hell. The night prior I woke up with a really bad stomach ache. I rushed to the bathroom and vomited. For the rest of the night I tossed and turned with insomnia. The next day I would spend moaning in pain dry heaving and not being able to keep any food down. The negatives HIGHLY outweigh the positives with this medication. Not Recommended.	M	17	3 days		11/12/2009
1	exposure to swine flu	Not many symptoms while taking the medication . . . a little dizzy but that could have been the swine flu itself. However, I have been off it for about a week now and I am suffering from insomnia, nightmares, and soreness in my arms and legs.	Fixed my symptoms quickly, but definitely not worth it.

1	3 year old son for prevention	My son didn't seem to have any side affects til day 6. He had terrible long nightmares that night. The next day he was paranoid, and even his pupils were dilated. The doc said to stop the medication so that he wouldn't experience any more side affects. I stopped giving it to him after that dose. He is still experiencing side effects though... a week later. He is a lot more sensitive, crabby, angry, and has had more nightmares. He was put on it because his brother had H1N1 and my 3 year old has asthma. So, it was a preventative. Then I found out that more kids that get the flu shot and have asthma end up in the hospital than those who have asthma that do not get the shot... I know this was the tamiflu and not the flu shot, but I have to wonder about this too. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms days after stopping the med? He has also been complaining of a tummy ache for a while now... but not like he is going to throw up, it just hurts. I will not recommend this	Regular doctor, over the phone.

1	Flu-Feb 2008	I am completely against anyone taking this medication. The doctors do not give the horrible possible side effects-only that is may or may not help with flu symptoms. I have never had a side effect from any other medication I have ever been prescribed. I never slept and felt like I was losing my mind. I was paranoid, confused and extremely emotional. I never cry and I couldn't stop crying. I was left home by myself (which is normal when an adult is sick). I got half dressed and drove myself to get "ice cream". I got about 10 miles from my house when I was pulled over and arrested. I have no memory of how I got where I was. I could only tell police I had the flu. I was taken to jail. After the whole life shattering experience, I went to the pharmacy where I bought the Tamiflu and told them to file a complaint, so people will be warned that psychotic behavior can be a side effect. I am horrified this is being given so much now. Tamiflu will eventually get sued!	I received it from a minor emergency clinic. I do not take any other medicaitons and am rarely sick.

1	H1N1	I took one pill 20 minutes after having lunch( I was following the directions ).Later, I had severe vomiting for the whole day,I couldn't drink water or eat food. I was screaming from the nausea. I had severe lower back pain that made me paralyzed. I had bad headaches and sinus pressure. I was very agitated.I was so much in pain from head to toe that I didn't know what to do but to scream. Finally, my doctor had to prescribe suppositories to stop the vomiting and urged me to stop taking Tamiflu after the first pill.Once the the drug was out of my system, I felt so much better and everything went back to normal. I am concluding that it is better to have the aches and pain of the flu than to go through the pains of Tamiflu.	I got the prescription from my regular doctor.	F	46	1 days		11/11/2009
1	H1N1	My 11 year old son was diagnosed with H1N1 two weeks ago. His fever was increasing so we filled our prescription for Tamiflu. He took 3 pills in 2 day. After his third dose he went to bed and woke up 2 hours later in a very different state of mind. He was terrified and paranoid and explaining he felt terrible and someone was after him. He exhibited paranoia and irrational fears of numbers and letters. It was terrifying and we were scared he might hurt himself as he seemed like he wanted to escape his own body. None of this behavior ever presented before.	We are so sorry we gave our son Tamiflu. It has now been two weeks since we stopped and he is still having residual effects. Has anybody out there had side effects that have then dissipated over time? We are worried this will not go away. Feel free to email we are looking for answers!	M	11	2 days		11/10/2009 Email

He started ranting and hallucinating and was extremely paranoid. He finally calmed down.

1	flu symptoms	Took Tamiflu for 2 days. Stopped yesterday. Dizzy the entire time. Tonight, I am experiencing sudden numbness on my right side of face with sudden onset of delerium, anxiety and generall feelng of lack of control. Hives on neck first day of dose. These horrible symptoms (taking no other medicines and tested negative for flu)are what made me google for side effect and I came upon this website. Terrible headache and chest pain landed me in the ER 24 hours after taking Tamiflu. The ER visit and the tests they gave me (cardiac markers & flu) all showed negative. Basically, I think I had a cold and the Dr prescribing Tamifly was over zealous in prescribing same. I would not take Tamiflu again. I'm fearful how long these side effects will last now that I have stopped taking it.		F	46	2 days		11/8/2009
1	flu symptoms	Me and my 16 month old son were given Tamiflu because we both had flu symptoms. I started my son on it Tuesday night through Saturday. Every night he was up most of the night crying, and everyday he was not the child that I knew to be mine. He cried and whined all day and wanted me to hold him constantly. Even my sister and parents who believe that my child can do no wrong said they couldn't believe how he was acting. I told his doctor about the change of behaviour, but she didn't seem to think it was a big deal even though she herself said that he wasn't happy as he was at the begining of the week when she had seen him. It wasn't the flu that caused him to act this way. He had a fever of 104.6 BEFORE starting the Tamiflu and was running around playing happy as always. The week my child was on Tamiflu was the most exausting week of my life. I wish I had reasearched it better before giving it to him.

I sweat a lot and the only positive thing is my temperature has gone down (could have done that with paracetamol i guess). My chest is very tight and my body aches from head to toe and being asthmatic dosent help. As i am kept isolated i do feel scared, especially at night with all the dreams. I sought advice from a lovely nurse who gave me advice and said that i could stop taking Tamiflu. I dont know what is worse, the symptoms of Swineflu or the after effetcs of Tamiflu....?

1	Flu	I am posting this about my son who took it four years ago and had horrible reactions to it. He was only 3 at the time, his flu seemed to be mild but his doctor recommended it anyway. I stopped after one dose. He couldn't keep anything down, he cried NON-STOP and it wasn't from the flu, he couldn't sleep even though he was exhausted, he screamed like we were killing him when we tried to pick him up in his sleep. He was irrational, aggressive and cried all the next day. Once the effects of the Tamiflu wore off, he was fine. He was still sick, but not like he had been on the Tamiflu. He was diagnosed with Swine Flu Sunday and when the Tamiflu was offered, I immediately turned it down. I'm using Elderberry, Vitamin C, Zinc and OTC meds. to treat him this go round and his illness has been mild. He's already on the mend w/out the terrible side effects of Tamiflu. My 17 year old neighbor also used Tamiflu for the swine flu and ended up blowing out a major blood vessel in his nose		M	3	1 days		11/5/2009
1	suspected h1n1	Major irritability, personality changes, loose stools, possible abdominal cramping	both of my children (7 and 2 year-olds) ran 104 fevers on a Saturday evening. Upon calling the pediatrician, they ordered tamiflu for both (suspecting the flu) Both children had had the h1n1 vaccination 1 week prior. My son had congestion and lethargy and high fever. My daughter, 2 years old, only had high fever. She had no other symptoms - great appetite, no other issues at all.( I think the vaccination lessened flu symptoms) I didn't even want to give her the tamiflu (should have listened to my inner voice!) but kept thinking, what if she gets worse, etc. I stopped giving her the med after 5 doses because she just didn't have any major flu symptoms and it seemed crazy. I also stopped giving it to my son. He didn't seem to have an issues with the drug. However, my daughter, even after being off for over 24 hours, is such a different child, screaming at everything, upset over everything, loose stools, poor appetite, and my guess is, severe abdominal pain. I was so distraught and worried today becuase I had never seen her act like this, even during real major sickness or teething or severe double ear infections. Her reaction to this pain or mental discomfort has been almost unbearable for all. My husband and I are disgusted with the drug at this point. I regret giving it to her at all. Once you see how miserable a child can be while on it, you would know. I just hope it leaves her system soon so we can have our daughter back.	F	35	2.5 days		11/5/2009
1	H1N!	After taking Tamiflu I feel extreme confusion/spaced out, disoriented,and dizzniness. You can't really function fully on this medication.	The dr. prescribed me Tamiflu after having a my regular doctors appointment. I had a temperature of 103, nights sweats, chills, sore throat, and chest pain when I coughed, and the doctor diagnosed me H1N1. My fever went away the next day after Tamiflu, but then I became disoriented. I don't want to take the last day of treatment because it makes me so spaced out.	M	29	4 days		11/5/2009
1	High/Fever, Flu	The side effects heavily outweighed the benefits. After starting my prescription of Tamiflu I had back and forth bouts of diarrhea and vomiting. I honestly felt like I was going crazy. I couldn't sleep, and would wake up from extremely bizarre, violent dreams. These were all things I experienced AFTER my fever had broken and would immediately get worse after each dose. All of my symptoms (other than my temperature) got worse after taking it rather than better.	I contacted my pharmacist explaining everything and she said I really need to finish the course much like antibiotics, or the flu may come back stronger. Now I have to deal with these side effects for a another two days, while I feel otherwise I would already be back on my feet. I really don't think Tamiflu helped fight the flu any faster than rest, hydration and over the counter drugs. I will never take this drug again.	M	23	3 days		11/5/2009 Email

I though my appendix was going to explode, I was afraid since the pain was so severe. And yes I do know what gas pains feel like and it was nothing like this.
