| 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 symptoms | SEVERE psychosis!! | My 19 year old was prescribed this and he became paranoid for days!!! He is still not back to normal yet after 7 days!! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE!! IT SHOULD BE BANNED!!! | M | 19 | 5 days 75 1X day | 12/27/2014 | 4 | Diagnosed with influenza | Irritability, agitation ,diarrhea, loss if appetite, metallic taste in month, feeling of "disconnect" | Treated my symptoms quickly. the side effects I mentioned were pretty severe. It was worth it for me since it was 3 days before Christmas when it hit. Surprised me since I had the flu shot and had not knowingly been around anyone who was sick. Plus, at 55 years old, I had never had flu. I was up and about the day after the first 2 pills. I did not take the last dose hoping my head would clear so I would be myself for Christmas. I finally felt ok by 3:00 in the afternoon. I don't think I'd give to a young child since the psychological effects were so intense. | F | 55 | 4 days 75 mg 2X day | 12/26/2014 | 4 | Flu symptoms | HUGE hives, insomnia, jittery | I have never taken TAMIFLU before. I also don't usually get the flu when getting a flu shot. But I was so bad that I went to the doctor a day and a half after coming down with flu symptoms. Flu test was positive. So far, I have taken 5 of the 10 (twice a day) doses of TAMIFLU. The first day I didn't see any difference. The second day....huge difference. It really did help me get over the flu quickly - good since it was only a few days before Christmas. However, soon after starting TAMIFLU, I got a HUGE hive on my chest, like 6x4"! Hive also swollen and hot and quite painful. I couldn't figure it out until I read the side-effects of TAMIFLU and saw that hives or other skin reactions were one of the most common problems. I also was wide awake at midnight and during the day felt jittery. I stopped taking the drug since I am MUCH better in that regard. So it worked very well as far as combatting the flu, but the side efffects will cause me to think twice before taking this drug again. | F | 56 | 3 days 2X day | 12/26/2014 | 5 | Preventative | None | Few years ago had the swine flu and had never had a flu shot and Tamiflu no yet available. The suffering was horrible high fever, severe body aches, 4 days in hospital and missed 24 days of work. Sickest ever been! Had flu shot every year since. Now my physician husband has the flu due to strain not matching shot and me and my children have taken Tamiflu kids age 4,8,9, and 16 and trust me, it is a godsend drug!!! Mild coughing and sore throats no fever and no side effects. Without this we would all be miserable at Christmas. Well worth $350 copay to treat entire family. Would be a fool not to take this and get full blown flu | F | 46 | 10 days 75 mg | 12/25/2014 | 5 | positive influenza A test | I began taking Tamiflu right at the 48 hour mark, probably a bit after, but it has rapidly made my symptoms much less severe. This is the first time I've had the flu in 30 years. I thought I was dying. I am a non-conformist skeptic that never takes the flu vaccine or meds unless absolutely necessary. I read so many negative things about Tamiflu that I almost didn't take it. It has worked wonderfully for me. I have noticed one side effect: my sleep is deeper and dreams are really intense, even a bit scary. | F | 41 | 2 days 75mg | 12/25/2014 | 3 | Flu symptoms | Insomnia, dizziness, "whirring" in ears, diarrhea | Took away major symptoms after 2 pills, then all the negative side effects kicked in. Have taken a total of 4 pills and I'm done! | F | 48 | 75 mg 2X day | 12/25/2014 | 2 | tested positive for the flu | Nausea, diarrhea and loss of appetite. | Stopped taking after 2nd dose due to side effects. 24 hrs later and stomach still feels queasy. | F | 41 | 2 days 70 | 12/25/2014 | 2 | Diagnosed with flu on 12/23/14 | nausea and vomiting | I started on the tamiflu and was sick within 30 minutes. My daughter (8) and son (6) started on the liquid version to try to prevent them from getting the full blown flu. Both threw up within 30 minutes. I can't get them to take more, and have decided not to try. I am feeling better after 3 days, so am not finishing my Rx. | F | 43 | 3 days 75 MG 1X day | 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 | 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 | 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 | 5 | influenza | None | Within 24hrs of taking Tamiflu my body aches, fever chills, and, headache dissappeared. The congestion in my chest took about 48 hours to clear up. I'm glad I was able to find it however since it seems to be a very popular I had to travel a little distance away CVS didn't carry it in Richmond, Va. | F | 45 | 5 days 75mg | 12/21/2014 | 4 | Influenza type A | None | Better in 24 hours | M | 36 | 5 days 75 mg bid | 12/21/2014 | 1 | Diagnosed with the flu | Diarrhea, sleeplessness, irritability, stomach pain. Will never take again! | F | 31 | 3 days | 12/21/2014 | 5 | Influenza | Insomnia, Nausea (if I didn't eat with the medicine) | This helped put me back together within 24 hrs of taking it. I had a fever for 3 days (highest 102.4), lower back pain, congestion, sinus all clogged. Started taking the medicine, 24 hrs later no fever. 48 hrs later, just a runny nose. | F | 29 | 5 days | 12/19/2014 |
