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 DIAGNOSIS aFTER TAKING ONLY 3 PILLS i REFUSED TO GO ON WITH THE PRESCRIPTION WHICH WAS CALLED INTO MY PHARMACY BY URGENT CARE DOCTOR AND WITH NO DISCUSSION ABOUT IT. THE REACTION I HAD WAS OF FEELING VERY WEIRD AND LIGHT HEADED AND "NOT MYSELF" IT WAS SCARY. LATER I READ SOME OF THE SIDE EFFECTS PEOPLE WERE HAVING..JUST LIKE MINE...PLUS I NOTICE NOW THAT THE ACCREDITING ORGANIZATIONS ARE QUESTIONING TAMFLU'S USEFULNESS. I WOULD DISCOURAGE USE OF THIS MEDICATION UNTIL THE QUESTIONS ABOUT IT ARE ANSWERED BY ROCHE. F 89 2 days

 2  Flu prevention Exposed to positive flu victim. Started shaking and sweating uncontrollably. Blood pressure high when visit to urgent care. Gave me tamiflu to take once a day unless I get fever, then twice a day. After day two, got fever, so went to twice a day. Caused me to be very dizzy, all day. Quick episodes of a drunkness every few minutes unless laying down. After couple days fingers feeling very tight. Joints in fingers hurt badly. My last day was today for meds but nurse told me to stop taking it as I was having allergic reaction. It was slowly affecting me. Not a quick reaction. Still a little dizzy today, hands still very sore and tight feeling. F 40 7 days

 2  Flu Dizziness, nausea, horrible diarrhea with cramping, sunburn type rash on abdomen, tingling/itching sensation in hands and legs that is driving me crazy. It wakes me up at night. I had the flu shot, but still got the flu. Took Tamiflu. Either it was the super flu or Tamiflu did not do anything to "lessen" my flu experience. Was completely wiped out in extreme pain with high temps (103s) for six days. Fever finally broke, but am still completely exhausted and now dealing with the tingling/itching thing going on.

 2  Tested Positive for INFLUENZA Had fever for 3 days. Went to ER. Test came back positive for Influenza. Doctor didnt want to scare me, but said people do die from Flu every year. She said there is a cure, Anti-Viral Medication. After I took TamiFlu, no real side effects, but now I am worse being sick. Now its really gone into my chest & I have continued constant headache, even after taking tylonol or ibuprophren. I have bad pain in my neck & achy all over. It just seems Ive gotten worse. I plan to continue the whole treatment. Not sure if it was too late to take Tamiflu to help me. Its supposed to shorten the flu. Im on day 5 almost 6 and I feel Terrible & Im missing work too. So hope Tamilu helps others. I wish I had someone to make me fresh healthy juicing Kale... F 46 2 days

 1  Influenza Got a swab test done and tested positive for influenza. Dr prescribed tamiflu after fever not dropping for 24 hrs. Took ibuprofen in the dr office and my fever went down but decided to take first dose of tamiflu before sleep. It knocked me put and Woke up out of nowhere an hour later in a complete confusion after a cad dream, severe fear not knowing where I was. After I got up and walked around I realized I was at home and started having real fast hear beats and what resembled panic attack. I drank four glasses of water and ate a banana and feeling better. I will not be continuing this medicine after this first dose, F 33 1 days

 1  Influenza b Not feeling like myself ( not normal), psychosis, hallucinating,Anxiety, depression, weird dreams, nightmares, heart racing, very jittery, confusion, very nauseous ( while taking Tamiflu could not stop throwing up). It is very frightening to go from a normal hard working productive individual and never having any anxiety to having so many problems. It has been almost two years and I still am suffering from anxiety, depression, and confusion. It took a long time for me to feel somewhat " normal". Please do not give to children. the side effects are not worth it. This was poison to my body. Read all the side effects before you decide to take. I would never let anyone that I know take this med. Almost two years after taking this and the lingering side effects make it difficult to feel completely normal. I hope that one day It will all go away. F 37 5 days

 3  Flu virus I was very impulsive, filled with anxiety, paranoia, very "swimmy headed"/light headed especially when driving. I felt better from flu, but the risks of taking medicine IF I didn't have mild mannered people in my life, could have been severe. F 25 5 days

 1  flu I have been coughing for over one week, Fever 103.4 every night. Brought it down European style, towels with organic vinegar all over the body. It works better than Ibuprofen.Yesterday i was coughing very bad, the dr. tested me for flu, but it will take 10 days till he has result. He prescribed me Tamiflu. After reading your reviews i decided not to take it.Since i came to USA i am schoked, how easily dr. prescribe strong medicines. My son broke his arm and he got a hydrocodone prescription for 2 weeks. Are you kidding me? Hydrocodone is forbidden in many parts in Europe, only in hospital special cases. You get it here like bonbons. Also other pain pills, no wonder half of the country is pain pill addicted. It is the dr. mistake, not to inform you,keep you in the dark. It is great, you can share your experience and should be a duty of every person first to check, what dr. prescribed you. Final word: do not trust doctors and pharmacist, make your own research, do not poison your body. F 30 1 days

 4  Tested positive for influenza A Slightly light headed and lack of appetite Second year in a row my flu shot has failed me. Tested positive for influenza A on Monday and began Taking Tamiflu that evening. Other than being slightly light headed and having no appetite which could be attributed to the flu I haven't had any of the horrible side effects listed below and would definitely take again. My husband and 6 year old daughter have had no side effects. F 46 4 days

 4  tested positive for influenza A and My son was positive for both influenza A and B. He wad quite ill. Started Tamiflu and he began to feel better. Did notice that about an hour after his first dose he started acting slightly strange almost as if he were intoxicated or high. At first I believed his behavior was caused by high fevers. However, as he physically got better ,he continued to have odd behavior that increased after each dose. M 5 5 days

 1  Influenza A night sweats, first night. minor diarrhea next morning (today) followed by major confusion and memory loss, still very foggy-headed. I went to the drugstore for a new thermometer. Once there, spent more than 15 minutes wandering around trying to remember why I was there. No, this can't be just the flu. My temperature is now normal and I wasn't this foggy the first two days of the flu, in fact, I worked a few hours those days. Time passes and I don't know what I am doing or what I have done. It should be taken off the market. M 1.5 days

 4  flu I am more stoned now than ever. I really can't believe this shit isn't being abused by pill heads. Sure it may suppress the cough, but I can't feel my legs. I am seei g in vertigo, don't sleep well, and when I am sleeping I have very wacked out dreams consisting of zombies and killing shit. U kind of feel like Michael in GTA floating around my city high on alien dope. Would be a great pill to take at a club, I'd yih didn't have the flu. M 35 5 days
