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.)   FDA Approval Date: 1999-10-27 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  FLU I felt so 'off' Confused, Dizzy, even now 2 days after I stopped taking it, my scalp is still 'crawling'. My eyelids feel like theyre sunburned. I had to stop taking the medicine on day 3. I couldnt do it anymore, I felt worse on it. As my first and last time taking Tamiflu, I would never recommend this medication to anyone. F 37 3 days

 1  Flu Worst nausea and vomiting of my life. Got worse with each dose taken. I did not have nausea with flu, only as side effect. Episodes of diarrhea with Tamiflu. No appetite. Funny taste in mouth. Do not take and would not give to family, especially children. Too many bad side effects. Should be reevaluated by FDA. Taking Tamiflu made me sicker longer than the flu. F 60 3 days

 4  bad respiratory infection I did have some vomitting, only with meats etc. When I ate soup I didn't have a problem. My doctor told me to start it at night...I don't know why so many preferred to start it in the morning. Anytime you are on a new medication, it is best you take it at night when your body will be resting, so that it actually has an opportunity to work properly I would recommend F 41 4 days

 1  diagnosed w/influenza A nausea, dizziness, severe diarrhea I dumped out most of the first capsule I took because I tend to have bad reactions to medicines. A half hour after taking the partial capsule with some jello, I began to feel nauseated. Zofran helped settle my stomach, but then overnight I developed severe diarrhea. The irony is they tell you to take the medicine with food, yet when you have the flu, you have no appetite. I'm glad I didn't take the second dose of this if that's what one half capsule did to me. I won't be taking it ever again and would not recommend it to anyone. F 45 5 days

 4  I have the seasonal flu. Ran my fever up, got chills. This medicine isn't as horrible as everyone makes it out to be. It did raise my fever and made me feel a little uncomfortable, but other than that, it's lessened the symptoms. I haven't experienced any vomiting or anything (thankfully), and I am on the path to getting better. It can sometimes make you feel worse than the actual flu, but you get over that grogginess rather quickly. I recommend it. M 17 3 days

 1  Flu I took the test and was confirmed that I had the flu....10 pills to the pack. I was dizzy and nauseated...feeling yucky...so I could contributed the symptoms to the flu. After taking the 5th pill. I was sleeping....and suddenly stopped breathing...that will wake you up quickly...I tried and tried to breathe...trying not to panic....finally after telling myself subconsciously to breathe...I started choking....and started to breathe. I waited about five minutes making sure I would continue to breathe... Jumped out of bed and ran to my husband telling him I almost died. He and I agreed that we would never take this drug again. Dangerous.....I found out that shortness of breath was a RARE side effect. F 65 2 days

 1  Flu I had the worst experience with tamiflu - my dr took me off it after explaining such horrible side effects. I wish I just stuck out the flu without the continuing effects after being off of tamiflu for over 2 days now. F 28 2 days

 1  Flu Severe anxiety, shakiness, diarrhea, sweating, moody, depressed. I feel like I've had 100 energy drinks! It helped take my fever down and recover from the flu quicker, but I would rather suffered with the flu a little longer than feeling the way I do now!! Absolutely do not take this if you've ever had any history of anxiety, depression, or mental illness!! F 35 3 days

 4  Influenza B Slight stomach distress but not diarrhea, small rash on neck, difficulty sleeping more than a few hours at a time I felt so much better by day 2. I was very skeptical but I would buy Tamiflu again. It worked for me. I did start at around 15 hours after onset of symptoms which helped! F 37 5 days

 1  Flu type a diagnosis First dose was taken at 11 am. By 5 I was vomiting(hadn't previously). Assumed that was a flu symptom. I have spent most of the second day on it vomiting repeatedly. I have blown the blood vessels in my eyes and have a black eye and my ribs hurt to breathe. My daughter,13, was also on Tamiflu and is throwing up 7 days after being diagnosed with flu. I wish I researched sooner but I felt so bad. I spent 280 for both of our Rx's which is almost half my paycheck. I am outraged dr pushed this on us Sucks! F 39 2 days

 1  Diagnosed with Influenza A My 13-year old daughter tested positive for Influenza A this past Wednesday and was started on Tamiflu immediately. Other than some nausea and vomiting the first day, she is now on day 5 and doing much better. I became symptomatic two days after she did and was also put on Tamiflu immediately, well within the recommended 48-hour window. I did not react to it as well as she did. I am unbelievably uncomfortable and restless. I have blurry vision, heart palpitations, severe nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and I have not slept a single wink in two days. Although my body is exhausted, sleep completely eludes me. My fever has gone up instead of down, and I am so parched from dehydration that no amount of fluid intake quenches it. I suppose it is because I don't keep anything down long enough for it to help. I am going to ask my husband to take me in so I can get fluids and hopefully some anti-nausea meds. I am discontinuing the Tamiflu immediately and keeping my fingers crossed these symptoms subside quickly so I can get some rest. F 43 2 days

 3  Flu Severe diarrhea, gas, and abdominal cramps for 3 days. On the last day my daughter's diarrhea was yellow and her cramps were so painful she couldn't sleep at all. I decided to discontinue her medication since I couldn't get a hold of her prediatritian. Only followed 3 days out of the 5 day treatment. The medication was effective to treat her flu symptoms. After the first dose she was already feeling well. However, the medication's gastrointestinal side effects were far too severe. F 13 3 days

 1  Flu I noticed in a couple of hours of my 3rd dose I felt so nauseous which I had not felt prior to taking. I noticed my vision was off a bit and that I was wide awake in the middle of the night. My taste buds seem off and things smelled strange to me. I wouldn't recommend this medication to anyone and the cost is obnoxious. 45 2 days

 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
