| 1 | flu virus | My 4 year old son had some nausea and vomitting while taking this medicine, which would have been tolerable. However, like others, we experienced the fits of rage, extreme irrational fear, and uncontrolled crying with an inability to articulate what the problem was when asked. Some of his fits would be characteristic of a panic attack. | M | 4 | 4 days | 3/4/2008 | 1 | Flu | My 6 yr old son took this medicine and had diarrhea within an hour. After the 4th day of the 5 days it was prescribed, a horrible rash broke out in tiny dots all over his body and his entire face was red and itchy. Now it is 5 days after stopping the medicine and he still has side effects, namely a horrible stomach pain and cramps. I will never let him or anyone else in my family take this drug. | Not worth the agony of seeing your child suffer the side effects | M | 6 | 5 days | 2/28/2008 | 5 | positive flu test | Vomiting within minutes after taking full doses, 1 and 2 | My 7 year old son was taking this, but he was extremely nauseas from the flu before he tried taking the Tamiflu. We ended up giving him a 1/2 dose at a time, after food, which he tolerated fine. After 3 days, he is about 80% improved, no fever. | M | 7 | 3 days | 2/15/2008 | 3 | FLU | RASH HEADACHE | F | 12 | 5 days | 2/7/2008 | 4 | Type A Influenza | none | My 12 year old son has the flu and pneumonia. We went to ER on Thursday afternoon and precribed Tamiflu. It is now Saturday morning and there do not seem to be any side effects. His fever is gone. No vomiting. He does have a cough and sore throat - but he's doing much better. | M | 12 | 5 days | 2/2/2008 | 5 | FLU | My son vomited once, after first dose, then all was well. | Both my kids were burning up with fever around 104, after just 2 doses each, they were pretty much back to normal, and my youngest had terrible congestion and cough and that was lessened. I love this medicine! | M | 5 | 3 days | 2/1/2007 | 1 | positive for flu | My 9 yr old daughter took Tamiflu for 1 day. The first dose made her emotional but the second dose made her emotional and very scared that she might hurt someone. She was upset and crying and afraid. Too risky a medication for us to use again. | F | 9 | 1 days | 10/27/2006 | 1 | Flu | My 5 year old daughter took one 3/4 tsp. dose at noon, another dose the next morning, and again that evening. Then that night and the following night were both horrible. Extreme sleep disturbances, waking every 20-30 minutes with such problems as night terrors, uncontrollable crying with no ability to explain to me or her dad what was wrong, extremely angry, yelling and screaming, unable to hold still, thrashing around in bed, saying things that didn't make sense. It was very scary. That would last around 3-4 minutes and then she'd settle down to "sleep" only to awaken 20 minutes later and do it all over again. Also, during the time she was more soundly sleeping she was grinding her teeth like crazy! That is something she's never done before. Both mornings after these nights she had no memories of any of this. I will never give her this drug again. | Do your research before deciding to take this drug. Especially for children. There are some very scary adverse reactions that have been found. | F | 5 | 2 days | 4/18/2006 | 5 | tested postive for the flu | This is on behalf of my granddaughter who is 10 years of age she took the capsules for 5 days twice a day with very little side effects, a bit of diarrhea and a little stomach cramps. I was also given a perscription for it but did not get it as I did not get any symptoms of getting the flu I am 68 years of age and also did not get a flu shot. | F | 10 | 5 days | 4/1/2006 | 5 | flu w/high fever, aches & throat | for 8 year old son. no side effects at this point. But, my son hates the taste of the liquid. He seems a bit irritable, but I think he is actually just feeling better and is bored. | My son was very sick with almost 105 fever, extreme body and joint pain, sore throat, could not eat from the pain, body chills. The day after he started taking the medicine he woke up like a new boy. His fever was reduced, but lated for 1 more day, but he got out of bed and was looking for something to do. I recommend this medication when needed. | M | 8 | 4 days | 3/30/2006 |
