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)

 2  Influenza-A Palpitations,insomnia, increased blood pressure and also experiencing bad cotton mouth. The latter part is tolerable. But this is clearly not for me. As I can not sleep bc I feel I've taken 5 stackers and washed them down with a couple of red bull energy drinks. This is awful. I do have other aches and pains but at this point it is hard to say if from Tamiflu or the flu itself. F 33 2 days

 5  Flu symptoms Weird dreams. Nothing else that I can relate to the addition of this drug. My fever had spiked to 102.3 when I took the first dose. I was weak to the point of feeling like I was going to pass out when trying to walk. I took the first dose and napped for about 4 hrs. When I woke fever was down to around 99.5 and I felt so much better it was amazing. Fever was completely gone during 2nd day on it and currently on day 3 and feel mostly normal. Now just need to get rid of the remaining congestion and cough. F 44 3 days

 5  Influenza None It helped my body get over the flu, which was all I could expect from it. I went from high fever, vomiting, nearly passing out when walking around, and generally feeling like death to 50% better in 3 days and was completely over it in a week. M 29 1 weeks

 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

 1  Flu type A Felt depressed, severe rash started on 2nd day so I discontinued tami flu. Still have hives and had to see doctor after day 4. This is maybe a miracle drug for some and for others it feels like death. It is all how your body metabolizes the medicine I suppose. For me I will never ever touch it again. Horrible depression, hives and no appetite whatsoever. Praying for a quick recovery from this poison. F 29 10 days

 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

 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

 5  Flu symtoms Diarrhea I woke up yesterday with low grade fever. Very sluggishly dragged myself to work 3 hours late. Took motrin in the am. While at work began to feel worse and worse. Fever of 102 and severe hip and leg aches. Could barely walk into centra care. Doc gave me Tamiflu and z pac. Took right when I got home. Also took more tylenol. Fever wasn't going going down but so tired went to bed at 10 pm. Woke up at 130 am, fever still high, took more motrin. At 4 am fever went down to 100.1 and I felt so much better. Still feel better. Took pill this morning and had severe diarrhea but no pain. Worth it to me so far. Will take third dose. F 55 2 days

 1  Influenza A Vomiting, stomach pains, hallucinations (kept pointing and saying "she's trying to bite me"), strange/nonsensical speech When my daughter took this medicine the side effects were much worse than the side effects of the flu itself. I would not recommend giving this medicine to your child. We stopped giving it to her after her second dose when we realized it was the medicine making her so strange. After three days of having the flu, she was much better and starting to feel more like herself. I think the flu just has to run its course, and I will never again give my child this medicine.

 1  Flu Very bad black diarrhea after taking each dose, dehydrated, lightheaded. Do not take this drug! It cost me $140 to have this horrendous experience. Insurance won't cover it. After taking 5 of the 10 pills I ceased taking it and the diarrhea no longer happened. Plus it did not make me feel any better .... But worse! F 71 2.5 days

 1  Flu Coughing, severe nausea, vomiting, floaty feeling, fever, uti, yeast infection, burning/inflammation of the vulva, weird dreams, high/drunk feeling, memory loss, rapid heartbeat, heavy breathing, change in emotion, loss of appetite and sleep I do not recommend taking this drug!!!!! I have severe pain and burning in the down there region. I feel worse now then i did before taking this drug. I was not warned about any of these side effects and have no idea when they will clear up. Went to a different doctor and he was even promoting tamiflu! Saying it was a miracle drug and it doesn't have these side effects. Tried telling me i have an STD even though i haven't been active in 4 months. Do not take this drug! I should have done my research... F 19 5 days
