| 1 | flu | Behavior confusion ,different speech,hallucinations ,not hunger,vomiting etc. | DO NOT GIVE TAMIFLU TO YOUR CHILDREN, 1 day only ,very upset | M | 12 | 1 days 12mg | 1/22/2015 | 1 | the flu | My daughter is having nightmares she's also taking albeturol breathing treatments every 3 to 4 hrs which she's had in the past no problems this Tamiflu is making her wake up talking and I'm concerned | F | 7 | 10 days 10mg | 1/22/2015 | 3 | flu symptoms | Very emotional and hyperactive. Could not control behavior. | Worked to eliminate fever cos and body aches, cough lingered but stopped medicine short off the last day Dr prescribed it. | M | 4 | 4 days 9mg/liquid | 1/20/2015 | 5 | positive test for influenza A and B | M | 7 | 5 days 60mg x 2 | 1/18/2015 | 1 | Prevenitive | Several kids in my daughters class had tested positive for flu so when she came home with a fever we started her on it prophylactically. The first night she took it she woke up with hallucinations and screaming uncontrollably. At first I just thought she was sleepwalking but it happened in the second night and she's never done that before. The only correlation could be the Tamiflu. I have never heard her scream uncontrollably and not make sense when she talks...it is truly scary to be woken up with that type of fear from your child. | If you have a child and feel the need to be on Tamiflu I highly recommend sleeping in the same room next to them to monitor their sleep while on this medication. The more research I did confirms that she's not the first to have such explicit nightmares. | F | 7 | 2 days | 1/16/2015 | 1 | Flu diagnosis | Hallucinations, psychosis, sleeplessness, horrible vivid nightmares, some type of temporary blindness, agitation, severe stomach pain, dizziness, and absolute fear of everything in sight | I highly recommend not giving this to children at all...as I was informed by the ER nurse that these side effects were very common in children! The flu has to run it's course anyway...it only shortens, doesn't cure it! | F | 6 | 1 days 45 | 1/11/2015 | 4 | Flu | Miracle drug. After 1st dose, slept all night in a deep sleep, woke up refreshed and felt so much better. Glad we caught the flu early. | M | 9 | 2 days 10 ml | 1/7/2015 | 4 | to prevent flu | My 6 year old daughter was prescribed this at the ER to prevent the flu. Her flu test was negative but she has had all the symptoms. Ever since she has been so hyper, mischevious, and doesn't sleep well at night. She will be unruly and rude in public places which is typical of a 6 year old. I mean she has been like a rabid wild beast. Bouncing on furniture, whooping her teenage brother, and running out if vehicle to go in the store to use bathroom before I even turn the car off. I swear I'm gonna go crazy if she doesn't calm down. Lol. It has helped her illness awesome. And thankfully insurance paid for it, but my god she needs a padded room or a marathon to run off all this energy. Tonight is her last dose. And tomorrow she goes to school. I just wonder if when the hyperness is gone if her body will just crash from Being so wore out | F | 6 | 5 days 6 mg | 1/6/2015 | 1 | This review is for my daughter | My daughter developed motor tics | F | 7 | 5 days 60 mg 2X day | 1/1/2015 | 2 | Influenza A and B | Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite | My daughter had the flu A in November. She had to take tamiflu 2 pills at once twice a day. If she didn't eat anything before and tried to eat something after taking the pills, she would throw it up and not be hungry any more. Then on Christmas Eve, she got the flu B and the same side effects happened. She would throw up the pill too so taking it was a waste | F | 11 | 4 days | 12/29/2014 | 1 | It was doctor's recommendation | I was shaking had trouble sleeping had nightmares and I was scared, nervous, and had a lot on my mind mostly scary things on my mind it made my grandmother nervous so she called 911. | I do not want to take Tamiflu again. After I took it and a few minutes later I can't sleep or I'm shaking and feel really scared. | F | 10 | 1 days 1 tbsp | 12/29/2014 | 4 | influenza A | My daughter was prescribed this for the flu. The first dose she threw up. The 2nd , she got real nauseous. Her fever is gone and she is feeling much better, however I've noticed that she seems to wake up at night and not make sense. She didn't remember going to the bathroom and sitting in there for 15 minutes. It scared me, she was shaking. I think it works great for flu symptoms but not so sure of the side effects | F | 6 | 5 days 45mg | 12/28/2014 | 1 | Son diagnosed with the flu | Hallucinations, irritability, depression, and major rash | My doctor didn't tell me anything about the side effects of this drug. Just gave me script and told me to give to my child. We left for Disney World Christmas Day (kids Christmas present) and so far Disney has not been so magical. He has broken out into a horrible rash and is crying from the itching and the pain and he still feels bad. I will NEVER EVER give this to my child EVER AGAIN!!! | M | 11 | 2 days 4 pills | 12/27/2014 | 1 | Flu type a | Hallucinations, odd behavior, scared of normal things | I will n e v e r give this to my child again | M | 7 | 2 days 2tsp 2x | 12/25/2014 | 1 | Preventative | Nausea, vomiting, fever, chills | I was positive for flu and my daughter was placed on preventative dosage. Flu has been in the house 3-4 days and she was fine. Her immune system was working (we all had the vaccine). She took a dose and got queasy and fever and chills. Next morning, she took a second dose. Threw up and that continued for hours. Doc said to work through it and the symptoms should be gone next day (or go to ER if not). The drug was far worse than the disease, so we stopped it and within 12 hours, she was back to find and has been ever since. AVOID THIS AS A PREVENTATIVE. IT'S A RACKET--4 expensive scripts instead of 1. | F | 11 | 2 days 75 mg 1X day | 12/25/2014 | 4 | Influenza A | Gave daughter only 1 dose of Tamiflu after she had flu symptoms for about 15 hours. She improved after 6 hours and woke up cheerful the next morning and said she was almost all better. I decided that was good enough for me! | I decided not to continue the full dosage recommendation due to the side effects I read about and heard from other people. The main goal of Tamiflu is to reduce the replication of the virus in the body. Since my daughter felt much better, it told me that it did just that so why would I keep giving her medicine that everyone says is toxic after 3-4 doses?! | F | 9 | 1 days 8 mg 1X day | 12/23/2014 | 1 | Flu | My son was diagnosed with the flu on 12/22/14 and began tamiflu yesterday. Ever since he acts as if he is afraid of normal things and is just "different " than his normal self. STOPPING MEDICINE IMMEDIATELY!!!! | M | 3 | 2 days 7.5ml qid | 12/23/2014 | 1 | Preventative | A couple hours after giving this to my daughter she started having diarrhea and vomiting. She didn't sleep well at all and wasn't even sick before taking it. My 3 year old tested positive for the flu so they started her on it as a preventative. I haven't seen any positive reviews on this in young children and wouldn't recommend it at all! I won't be giving her any more. | F | 1 | 1 days 5ml | 12/23/2014 | 4 | Influenza A | My son was given this after testing positive for influenza A. He started it about a day and a half after symptoms started. He was so sick...this was the scariest sickness ever. After his 4th dose, he broke out in hives. So I discontinued it. It worked though and he started feeling better after the third dose. | I also took it as a preventative and am still taking it. No terrible side effects for me. Anything would be better than the flu. I've never seen someone so sick. | 2 | 2 days 2x/day | 12/17/2014 | 1 | flu | we gave this to our 5 year old on for the flu. He had taken this before with no reactions. He awoke terrified, unable to see with a look of terror. He was saying the were chasing him and he was seeing things that were not there. | I do not recommend giving this product to your child. We spent 80 dollars on a medicine that caused him and us so much fear and panic. | M | 5 | 1 days 16.5 2X day | 12/15/2014 |
