| 3 | M | 5 | 1 days | 7/1/2016 | 5 | My 4year old had the flu | none | I read all the negative comments about TAMIFLU I was scared to give my child that medication I didn't sleep for the first two nights just thinking he was going to have a negative side effect. this is his 3rd day and he don't have a fever no more he is out of the bed turning the house upside down like always........That medication was expensive, but is working so far…….. | M | 4 | 3 days 7.5mg 2X day | 3/15/2016 | 1 | 3y/o influenza B | Hallucinations and extreme fear of things that werent there, regress on speech, night terrors, stomach pain, diarrea | Horrible! At first we thought it was the fever making him act strange but then the temperature went away and he kept talking mumbling as if he didnt know how to talk. He wasn't making sense. Also he would get upset for no reason and punch the floor then cry cause he hurt himself. He had never acted like this before. He kept waking up with night terrors screaming and being afraid of us. He also would scream holding his stomach in pain and pooping himself. It is awful!! Is like my child is possesed. I haye to see him like this. Would never give him this meds again. | M | 3 | 2 days 7.5ml susp | 3/11/2016 | 1 | Influenza type A | Diagnosed with Type A Flu. Was told to give him 2 doses a day (every 12 hours). First dose was given by DR. In ER. Didn't notice anything out the ordinary. Gave 2nd dose at home. My son was acting funny and scared of me and something around him. I think he was hallucinating because I never saw him scream or react like that. Stopping immediately . | Never again. Do not recommend EVER | M | 2 | 2 days 7.5ml | 3/1/2016 | 1 | My 2yr old diagnosd w flu in the ER | She keeps holding her tummy and can't keep solid foods down. She keeps whining in pain..all after only one dose. | Stopped giving her this drug and now we have to go back to doctor. Horrible medicine. | F | 2 | 1 days 30mg | 2/26/2016 | 1 | For the flu | I gave tamiflu to my son at 8:30 pm and his fever went down by morning. Gave him his 2nd dose at 9 am and he starting acting funny. I gave him his 3rd dose at 9:30 pm but he didn't want it, so he only got 1/2 the dose and thank god for that because he starting getting a rash and had problems breathing, so who knows what would have happened if he got another dose. I was really skeptical about giving him this in the first place and for good reason. Trust your gut feeling on this medication because it definitely can cause side effects that may not be controllable and scared me to see. I will never use it again! | Worst part is I paid to see my son have side effects and worry all night. And I will never recommend this to anyone. | M | 7 | 2 days | 2/14/2016 | 1 | Flu | Severe nose bleeding, vomit blood ( not sure whether the blood is only from nose bleeding and swallowed then or there is upper esophagus bleeding. | F | 11 | 1 days 60 mh | 1/19/2016 | 3 | flu | baby is 6 months old. took tamifli and threw up 1st time. 2nd dose before bed, baby fidgety and thrashing all night, and couldn't sleep, very scary. acting very strange, and laughing at nothing. it's morning and she still cant stop fidgeting. | fever broke and she seems to be doing ok flu wise, will not give her another dose. | F | 1 | 1 days 2 mg | 3/13/2015 | 1 | Infant exposed and had symptoms | My 16 month old began crying uncontrollably. For 4 hours, he was screaming, writhing, banging his head, pitching his body back, clawing me. It was horrible. No physical explanation for his behavior clear nose, ears, throat. No vomit or diarrhea. Ended up in the ER to rule out a serious medical problem after my pediatrician heard him over the phone. | M | 1 | 2 days 5ml | 3/13/2015 | 1 | Flu | My son started taking it 6 hours later he was no longer happy sick baby he was crabby in pain and terrible insomnia I would never recommend giving your child this drug it does more damage then helps | M | 2 | 1 days | 3/9/2015 | 1 | flu | My child has been sleeping since 4 pm, it's 4 am right now. I have been monitoring her and just got of the nurse advise line. The side effects are horrible. She had a abnormal behavior. I will be on the phone with the doc on Monday for sure. | F | 4 | 2 days | 2/22/2015 | 5 | Influenza b | This was a wonder drug. My son was so sick. Started with headache on Tuesday then to 104 temp by end of the day. Vomiting horrible sick. Took him to Dr. On Thursday started Tami flu. Now after 3 dose on Friday he is eating & smiling. No side effects. | M | 9 | 5 days 60 2X day | 2/20/2015 | 5 | tested positive for flu | None. | Miracle drug! 12yo daughter was walloped with the flu Thursday afternoon; 100% better by Saturday morning. Doc warned about side effects-studies say risk of nausea and hallucinations are real-but nothing happened. | F | 12 | 5 days 60 MG 2X day | 2/19/2015 | 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 3 ml 2X day | 2/17/2015 | 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 | 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 | 5 | My daughter tested positive for flu | No side effects at all just hard to get the babies to take it bc it was so gross!! | My 10 month old daughter tested positive for flu she started taking the tamiflu within the first 48 hrs and it helped her after taking the 2nd dose her fever was gone and never returned she was back to her normal self by the next day!!! | F | 1 | 5 days 6ml | 1/29/2015 | 5 | Influenza B | My daughter was irritable and slept somewhat restlessly. Cannot say these were effects or simply being sick. Took her to ER at 7 pm because her legs ached so badly and she woke up acting a bit incoherent with 101 fever. Was taking Tamiflu after testing positive for B by 9pm. When you discover what the virus does to you and how an antiviral halts it's progression - it seems logical choice. | Would take it again, Always with food. | F | 8 | 5 days | 1/27/2015 | 1 | Type A flu | Gave medication for 2 days, he started feeling better but then several days after I stopped giving it to him he was breaking out into cold sweats said he couldn't see, so I think he was about to faint. Severe leg pain, to the point he could barely walk and now 4 days after medicine has been stopped he is extremely aggitated and seems to be scared of normal things that he shouldn't be. Glad I didn't give him the full script...I hope he is going to recover from this. It is very scary and I don't know what to do for him. Had no idea there were these kind of side effects. | Has anyone had a similar experience with their child? Any suggestions? | M | 9 | 2 days 75 mg | 1/25/2015 |
