It's a small group, but by the looks of all these negative reviews on Tamiflu, it has the potential to be bigger! https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/tamiflu-effects/info | F | 38 | 2 days 75 mg 2X day | 3/25/2014 | 5 | Type b | Light headed and dizzy, fluid build up in my ears left ear drum exploded and bad ringing in both ears!!! Don't take the medicine!!! | M | 28 | 1 days 75 | 3/18/2014 | 1 | Influenza B | My 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with Influenza B. We started Tamiflu liquid on day three of her symptoms. I was not happy about starting it as I had read of all the side effects, but her fever was really high. The medicine made her want to vomit, but she kept it down. That night she kept springing up, wanting to get out of bed...almost driven like a motor. She would shout out a few things, and then I would settle her back down. The next morning her fever was down to around 100-101 which was great, however, when she tried to get out of bed she cried because of leg soreness in her calves. This lasted all day...she just crawled everywhere. I did not continue the medication. I am hopeful that the leg pain will be gone today when she wakes up. My son, 15, is on a preventative does as he was leaving on a trip the next morning. He has taken two pills of the same does as my daughter and seems to be fine. | From what I read, the liquid seems to have more negative side effects. Maybe that is just a coincidence? | F | 11 | 5 days 6MG 1X day | 3/16/2014 | 1 | I was dignoised with the flu | I have been fighting with a migraine headache now for 2 daysv I am nowing vomitting and having a little bit of diaherra I now quit taking it I was eating jello now I am back to ice chips. I feel worse than I did before. And i agree with the other review This not worth taking | F | 57 | 2 days 75mg | 3/15/2014 | 1 | flu | I can not believe this mess cost me $32 dollars. I've never been this sick in my life. Can't sleep at all, depressed,the headaches won't go away, can't eat nothing, I have no energy and the crazy thing is Doc didn't warn me of any of this. Haven't taken any more since I threw it up 2days ago. Its sad the med industry sells this crap and it makes u worse. | F | 36 | 3 days 30 MG | 3/11/2014 | 1 | Flu symptoms | My 9 yr old son had the flu and strep throat...got a shot for strep and that went away fast...presc for tamiflu...way too expensive! Anyway my son wont eat and barely drinks and has a wierd habit of always wanting water to run on his face...wish I would have studied effects of tamiflu 1st...never again! | M | 9 | 1 days 10ml | 3/9/2014 | 1 | Flu symptoms but negative test | Horrible hallucinations, horrible thoughts, chest burning. A month lasted still having effects. Anxiety, irregular heartbeat, tingling in my head at times, numbness tongue at times. This medicine is poison. I was a completely healthy person before this. Just want to know how long this could go on? I tested negative for flu but had all the symptoms and my son had flu A. | F | 35 | 2 days 75 MG | 3/9/2014 | 2 | Influenza A | Insomnia, headache, anxiety, tachycardia, ringing ears | F | 39 | 2 days 75 2X day | 3/7/2014 | 1 | Flu | Dizziness, Nausea, Vomitting, Insomnia, Anxiety, Depression, Nightmares, Hallucinations. | TAMIFLU only brought bad side effect and did not result in any health improvement. TAMIFLU made me sicker. Dr. told me to stop taking TAMIFLU after I reported the bad side effects and no benefits. Will not take again. | M | 52 | 3 days 75mg 2X day | 2/27/2014 | 1 | Influenza A | Foggy head Dizziness & lightheaded ness Considerable nausea Severe stomach cramps (woke me from my sleep) Diarrhea Will never take this drug again or give it to my children. Not worth the 1 day it takes off the flu. | F | 43 | 5 days 75 | 2/14/2014 | 1 | tested positive for the flu | I had bad side effects . Scared, crying, depression and thoughts of hurting myself anger to others. No one needs to take this mess..... please tell me how long this last. Please I can't take much more of this. . | F | 38 | 3 days 30mg | 2/14/2014 | 1 | Type b flu | The Tamiflu did help with the symptoms and duration of the flu; however, it has given me HORRIBLE brain fog. I am allergic to most medications and specifically asked the pharmacist if it would cause brain fog and he said no. That obviously was an untruth. After reading these reviews, it sounds like most people on here have experienced brain fog while taking this POISON. I would only recommend this to someone I didn't like. I will not finish the medication after spending money I did not have to begin with. In the future I will endure the flu. I may even call the company who makes this drug that shouldn't even be legal! | F | 57 | 2 days 75 mg | 2/5/2014 | 5 | I had influenza b | Light headed | M | 16 | 5 days 75 mg | 2/1/2014 | 1 | Flu with negative test | Went to the doctor on Monday with ear infection and sinus infection. I was prescribed a Zpac. I never ran a fever before my ear started hurting. Then on Tuesday night, my fever spiked to 101. That was after 2 full does of the Zpac. I went back to the doctor on Wednesday because I felt like I had been hit by a Mack truck! I had all of the classic flu symptoms. Fever, aches, fatigue, cough. So she tested me and it was negative. She said that they are getting a lot of false negatives. She said that I did have the flu and gave me tamiflu. I took the first 2 doses on Wednesday and then Thursday morning my fever had broke. I took my 1st dose of the day that morning. Throughout the day, I felt itchy but wrote it off because of my job. I took my 2 dose of the day that night about 2-3 hours before bed. When I went to bed, I got so hot and red. I wrote it off as still part of the flu. Then I woke up at midnight with a pretty nasty rash! I took some benadryl and went back to bed. | How long does this last? I will not take this ever again! I will also make sure I get the flu shot next year! This is HORRIBLE!!!!!! If I could give it a lower rating, I would have! Why is this still being prescribed if all these people are having such bad reactions?????????? | M | 36 | 2 days 75 2X day | 2/1/2014 | 1 | Doc said I had quick onset of flu | First let me say that I do not believe this med is safe! I have only taken three doses (1 1/2 days) and I've decided that I will never take this again. After each dose I would sweat uncontrollably. That I could have dealt with, but after the second dose I had severe diarrhea. Hard to believe when I hadn't eaten any full meal for days. After the third dose, I noticed insomnia and a yellow hue and halo to my vision. Finally, after having been awake for 18 hours with no rest, I dozed off for a few minutes only to have the worst nightmare. It was like an out of body experience where I was watching an unseen force kill me. I was consciously aware it was a dream where I forced myself to wake up. When I did, my heart was racing and I was crying. | F | 41 | 2 days 75 MG | 1/30/2014 | 1 | Diagnosed with flu | My precious 6 yer old som was prescribed Tamiflu and I foolishly bought it and gave it to him. HUGE MISTAKE. he became moody and depressed. Even worse, he told me he wanted to kill himself and thought about dying!!! Imagine my shock, dismay, heartbreak!! After researching Tamiflu I discovered this is actually a side effect in children and teens. Japan actually banned the drug because of so many patients committing suicide while on the drug. My son is normally the happiest, most joyful child. Idont know how long his symptoms of depression will last. Prayer and trust in God is our only answer. | M | 6 | 4 days | 1/30/2014 | 1 | positive flu swab | Fog brain, diarrhea, INSOMNIA badly. | I would never take this medication again. Worst than the flu. On it just 2 days and can't wait for it to completely leave my system. Disheartening how they make such money on such garbage that makes you sicker than you started. | F | 48 | 2 days 75mg 2X day | 1/29/2014 | 1 | Positive flu swab | Vomited foam no more than 5 minutes after taking it, could not keep anything down not even sips of water. I took 1 days worth of Tamiflu, I have a sick stomach, severe migraines, and depression. I've cried so much the Motrin for my head is not working. I'm going on two days without eating. This drug is scary and I'd much rather let the flu pass on its own. | F | 25 | 1 days 75mg | 1/26/2014 | 2 | Prescribed by doctor | It's 1:40 AM and I can't fall asleep. Ever since I started taking Tamiflu, I haven't been able to get on a normal sleeping pattern. Normally within a few minutes of laying down, I fall asleep. Not now with the Tamiflu keeping me awake. Also feeling bloated and really gassy. Some loss of appetite. Food and drinks have lost some of their taste. The only good thing is that my cough is gone. The insomnia is the biggest surprise related to this drug. This was my first time to take Tamiflu and it will be my last. Not being able to get some good deep sleep has left me feeling zombie-like. Brain is kinda slow and not quite as sharp as usual. After reading other accounts on this website and seeing how it has affected me, I am not finishing my doses and will not be taking this medicine again. | M | 43 | 3 days | 1/25/2014 | 1 | I had the Fly | Nausea, rash, infections, weakness. | I went to the doctor with flu symptoms. He prescribed me Tamiflu and the only side effects I was told by the pharmacist was it could cause nausea and vomiting. I think the pills totally wiped out my immune system. I had a rash on my ankles, wrist, and lower back, my ear piercing became infected, and I got a huge infected pore on my face. All is well and all is healed but I think my body could have fought the flu on it's own. I am mad at my doctor for prescribing me such a strong medicine when I am a healthy 33 year old woman who eats healthy and is physically fit. I have been over the flu for a week and I still feel exhausted. I hope those pills haven't ruined me as I naturally have a strong immune system and this was the first time in about a decade I have had the flu. I am going to continue avoiding the flu shot and if I ever get the flu again I will NOT be taking Tamiflu. I will let my body fight it naturally. There are too many medicines out there and we have become to reliant on them. It's all for the money. Exactly why they won't give us the cure they have for cancer. I won't give my money to the medicine world again. | F | 33 | 5 days 75 2X day | 1/25/2014 |
