| 1 | Influenza A | Hallucinations, Delusions, very scary experience for a 10 year old who took the drug, effects lasted 2 days, flu was not improved | M | 10 | 1 days 20MG 1X day | 11/1/2020 | 1 | Influenza A | Night Terrors, hallucinations, confusion, leg pain | M | 5 | 1 days 6 mg/ml 1X day | 3/5/2020 | 1 | Flu | My child had hallucinations. Would stare into space & not be able to answer us for a few minutes. | Wouldn't recommend this drug. This happened on more than one occasion. She took it when she was 6 and 8, but wasn't able to communicate that she was having hallucinations. But a few years later she could tell us the awful hallucinations and nauseous effects of tamiflu. | F | 11 | 0 days Child dose | 2/15/2020 | 1 | Flu symptoms | side effects included: delirium, hallucinations, night terrors, and night sweats. Just after one dose. | Waking screaming and running wide eyed and heart pounding saying that people are in her room fighting. When I got her calmed she asked why she was dreaming such crazy things. We slept together on the sofa. She woke an hour later asking me if trees were really falling on the house. Of course I cannot sleep. Researching and making sure I don't need to take her in. I called on call pediatrician. They were dumb founded. Told me not to give it to her again… like I needed that advice. Then as I am stroking her hair she is moaning lightly sleeping. I had ice on her neck and she was sweating. Every time she woke up she would make sure we both knew what was real and what wasn't. Finally in the morning almost 10 hours after that very first dose she said she could still hear voices of people fighting "in the background" in her head. Still has a fever but I refuse to give her anything freaking out. The rest of the day and morning has been normal. She is very nervous about going to sleep tonight. | F | 10 | 1 days | 1/13/2018 | 4 | Febrile seizure positive for flu A | My daughter's fever was at 99 and before the medicine kicked in, she had a febrile seizure. Dialed 911 the whole shabang. Got to the hospital and tested positive for flu type A. Was prescribed Tamiflu. After the first dose at 11 am, I noticed she was bouncing off the walls hyper af and did not want to nap at all. Finally crashed at 4 pm. Next dose at 9 pm, bad mistake on my part.. she is bouncing off the walls again and it is midnight... she is dancing to any song that comes on the tv.. BUT I rather much hyperactivity than the hallucinations and mood changes I keep reading about. She has a cough and a slight runny nose, not as bad as yesterday. And I’m glad she’s happy at least. | Would def use again. I think people are mistaking this medicine to cure the flu, but it’s used to shorten to duration of the illness by 1 and a half days. I’m glad it’s working for my daughter though. Wish you fellow parents luck! | F | 2 | 5 days | 12/28/2017 | 1 | Flu | My 13 year old son starting having from 11-11-2017 until present cant stay go Focus pls to your child I’m leaving a Nightmare every Abnormal behavior Hallucination Psychotic behavior | Don’t listen to Psychiatrist to Medicaid your child fight to get the truth Especially from a child with no Schizophrenic or bipolar disease history | M | 13 | 4 days 75mg | 12/4/2017 | 5 | Flu like | Completely Delusional Hallucination not the same active young boy he was 5 days ago this drig is very dangerous why are they giving this to children | M | 13 | 2 days 30mh | 11/16/2017 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 1 | flu | Nightmares, vomiting | What a mistake. I had to watch my daughter all night as she was screaming in her sleep. | F | 13 | 1 days 75 | 1/25/2015 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Tested Positive for Flu A | After 1 dosage of Tamiflu my 5 year old child was asleep in bed and I went in to do my nightly routine of checking on my children , he was sitting up in his bed and he had this horrible look of terror on his face. He was saying he didn't want to loose his feet and mumbling words and just freaking out. I have never seen my child do this before now. He would also look at me and scream and cry like I was wearing a scary mask or something. | I would not and will not give this to my children or anyone else that I might know. | M | 5 | 5 days 7.5 | 12/14/2014 |
TAMIFLU (OSELTAMIVIR PHOSPHATE): Oseltamivir is used to treat symptoms caused by the flu virus (influenza). It helps make the symptoms (such as stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, fever/chills, aches, tiredness) less severe and shortens the recovery time by 1-2 days. This medication may also be used to prevent the flu if you have been exposed to someone who already has the flu (such as a sick household member) or if there is a flu outbreak in the community. Talk to your doctor for more details. This medication works by stopping the flu virus from growing. It is not a substitute for the flu vaccine. (See also Notes section.)
