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  Influenza Horrible diarrhea. My husband is 80 yrs old. Came down with the flu and was put on tamiflu. After the first dose he suffered horrendous diarrhea! It lasted all night, by early morning, he was confused and unable to say words. Fearing a stroke, I called 911 and he was taken to the ER. He tested positive for influenza and his heart went into distress. He has an ICD and due to the loss of magnesium in his system he was in the cardiac ICU for 5 days. He is home now, but still not back on his feet yet. This all happened during the 3rd week of Dec. he is on prednisone now for lymphedema. Poor man. Never again!! F 80 2 days

 1  Positive Flu test Horrible diarrhea. Vivid dreams. I only managed to take 2 days of tamiflu. It had no effect on my flu symptoms (fever, muscle aches, headache, chills, profuse sweating, etc.) but caused me to sit on the toilet for now literally three days straight. DO NOT take this med unless you have a good reason to and an iron stomach. M 35 2 days

 2  Flu First 2 days on Tamiflu I noticed stomach upset, no appetite or taste to food. Still felt super tired with cough progressively getting worse. Day 3 and my cough feels like a pneumonia cough. No fever or headache, but I have the worst Insomnia which is accompanied by hallucinations and paranoia. Went to Dr. On day 2 of Flu-like symptoms. Had a mild dry cough, fever, muscle soreness, throbbing headache and fatigue. Now on Day 3 of Tamiflu: I don't know if it's because it's 3:40 am and I can't sleep, but I keep thinking I see something flash by in the corner of my eye. I had to turn the light on like a frightened child. I am tripping...AND I have worsened flu symptoms. What the heck Tamiflu? F 31 3 days

 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  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

 5  Type a flu I had troubles sleeping the first night on Tamiflu. I drag my aching but to the doctor to get tested for the flu. After testing positive I was prescribed Tamiflu. I took the first dose as soon as I got home and the second dose before going to bed. Other than having a bad night sleeping I was almost 100% normal the next day. This is crazy bordering on miraculous. Tamiflu works! M 51 5 days

 5  Influenza A Restless legs. Absolutely worth it...the flu hit like a ton of bricks. So sick I could barely get out of bed to go to the doctor. Took Tamiflu within 24 hours of onset and within 12 hours, remarkable difference. Back to work in 2 days instead of the normal ten with the flu! F 54 5 days

 5  Flu like symptoms My flu test was negative but I went ahead and took it since I had the symptoms. I took 1 day and felt better so I stopped, thinking I must not have really had the flu. Next day- I feel horrible!! I'm taking tamiflu faithfully until I'm done!! F 42 2 days

 2  Flu No relief that I could tell of a major battle with the flu this year. I waited until the middle if the second day to get Tamiflu. I had super high fever ranging ing from 103.6 to 104.8. I had hallucinations all night, not sure if Tamiflu of high temp, definitely temp will do that. On my third day I got over the high fever by taking a 20 Luke warm bath. I think the water boiled as I sat in it with a 104.8 temp. This was last resort before my wife driving me to ER. Now in the evening of day 3 I have contracted to what feels and sounds and looks like bronchitis. I have yellowish brown discharge that was present before I contracted the flu. I'm still very weak and I am typing this at 230 am because of the f'd up sleep dilutions and "acid trip" I was just in in my sleep. Matrix type dots everywhere, bright ing when I close my eyes than when I open them in my dark bedroom, people's faces at the bottom of a toilet??? Angry Trolls, lawn equipment inventions. Maybe if I stay on it it may give me a patent idea. Lol M 41 5 days
