| 4 | prophylaxis - child with Flu B | I have taken Tamiflu 4 or 5 times. This time I have had a Horrible headache for 3 days so far. On day 5, I started having severe arthralgia esp in shoulders. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to complete the 10-day pack. | F | 42 | 5 days 75 1X day | 2/26/2013 | 3 | H1N1 Swine Flu | Slight headache all the time, diarrhea, dizziness, foggy. | F | 40 | 5 days 75MG | 2/17/2013 | 2 | Flu | Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, extreme stomach pain/gas, headaches, bad taste in mouth, mental fogginess, mild depression | I feel like this drug is just a placebo to make you feel like you are getting better. In my opinion, I would have been better off without it. Had to take an additional 3 days off work for Tamiflu-related symptoms alone, even after my flu symptoms were gone. Plus, Tamiflu is expensive and there are no generic alternatives. Would NOT take again!!! | F | 28 | 5 days 75 2X day | 2/16/2013 | 1 | Husband was diagnosed with flu | headaches, joit pain, nausea with dry heaving, diarriah, severe stomach pains | Husband had only gotten worse after taking tamiflu. At first we thought just part of flu, but day after day hewas getting worse. Last day of taking tamiflu He started dry heaving and having the runs. His stool was dark and he had the worst stomach pains. The next day (day 6) had to bring him to ER... stomach pains would not stop or the diarriah. They couldnt figure anything out. I realized he seemed to have gotten all these symptoms after taking the tamiflu. I looked up side effects and every website said the same thing and it was everything my husband seem to have. Then I found this site and read all your complaints, smany like my husbands DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE.... Side effects are worse than the flu. They should not be allowed to make or prescribe meicine like this | M | 50 | 5 days 75 mg 2X day | 2/16/2013 | 2 | Flu Type B | Trouble sleeping, irritable, throwing up | My 2 yr old boy was prescribed this because his sister had the flu. He would throw up every time we gave him his dose. He would wake up almost every hour during the night crying uncontrollably. He seemed very sad on Tamiflu. Not himself. He has no appetite on Tamiflu. I do not want him to take it anymore. He's terrified of the stuff anyway! Gets so upset when he sees the bottle. I'm guessing the solution is thick and he knows it will make him throw up. No More! | M | 2 | 3 days 5ml 2X day | 2/14/2013 | 2 | Flu | My first dose I experienced SEVERE nausea. It took everything I could do to not throw up, and the feeling lasted for several hours. I also was jittery - my legs and upper body shook uncontrollably, almost as if I had parkinson's disease. That night, I couldn't fall asleep until 3am. In general, I just did not feel like myself. Second dose I took with a big meal and my stomach didn't hurt, but I still feel VERY jittery and weird. | F | 25 | 2 days 75mg 2X day | 2/13/2013 | 5 | The Flu | none | F | 28 | 2 days 75mg | 2/12/2013 | 1 | Influenza B | Took one dose and started vomiting within 15 minutes. Vomited for an hour straight. Did not take anymore. Still nauseaus, dizzy, and heart feels "funny" and it's been one week. | My children were also prescribed Tamiflu and also vomited for an hour straight within minutes of taking the med. We all stopped it after one dose. | F | 30 | 10 days 75MG 1X day | 2/12/2013 | 3 | 5 yr old daughter had type b flu | My daughter received it on day 3 of flu. On day six, which is day three of being on Tamiflu she has and enormous amount of anger. Which is not like her at all. She has the sweetest spirit but this has her almost possessed. Nausea the first dose, but has helped her flu symptoms. I will not be finishing the rest of it. Anger is too far out of control | F | 5 | 3 days 5ml | 2/9/2013 | 5 | Flu | No side effects. I had flu as did my 14-year old son. Neither of us experienced any side effects other than feeling better within 24 hours. | Our symptoms were much milder too. My 11 year old had the flu a few weeks earlier and she did not take Tamiflu. She was sick for 5-6 days and had a lingering cough that lasted almost 4 weeks (developed bronchitis). Though both my son and I started out with some coughing (as well as aches, fever, chills), I'd say within 36 hours of taking Tamiflu we were back to normal. I even went out for a 3 mile run the third day after first getting sick. | F | 53 | 5 days 2X day | 2/8/2013 | 3 | Flu/cold | I was really sick with the flu/cold so went to EM room he prescribed this drug to me it was great for the first 2 days I felt like my self almost but I had this really sour stomach every time I took it about 1/2 hours later it got to the the point on day 3 I just stop taking this drug cuz I was throwing up with this sour stomach really bad it does help with the flu but be aware of the side effect FYI I was eating before I took this drug I don't think I will take this again | F | 25 | 5 days 75mg | 2/1/2013 | 4 | Flu symptoms | anxiety, diarrhea | Don't know if symptoms would have abated anyway but fever went away and upper respiratory symptoms going slowly. However, tremendous increase in anxiety, and I mean tremendous. I see this is a common side effect. I also have diarrhea and I don't think it's the antibiotic. User beware. | F | 65 | 3 days 75 MG 2X day | 1/31/2013 | 5 | Confirmed positive flu | I had slight nausea, even on a full stomach, as did my son. One daughter had nausea to the point she had an anti nausea medication prescription written. | Felt horrible with typical flu symptoms on Sunday, doctors visit on Mon, felt better by Wed. Seriously worth the slight tummy issues. | F | 43 | 5 days 75 mg 2X day | 1/30/2013 | 5 | Flu | None so far. | Broke my fever within one hour of first dose! Have not tried to sleep on it yet, but NyQuil & Benadryl should help overcome whatever insomnia people are complaining about. | F | 29 | 1 days 1X day | 1/28/2013 | 2 | took Tamiflu for 3 days hardly slept at all and now Ive been up 28 hours straight...plus mind is always racing ....cant relax....called drs. office and explained was told to stop taking Tamiflu couldnt tell me when it would be out of my system would not recommend this drug | M | 57 | 3 days 2X day | 1/28/2013 | 1 | positive for flu | My 4 year old nephew took this medicine and two days after started acting like a different child. I have never in my life seen such. It hasbeen 2 days since his last dose and his behavior is so uncontrollable it's sad. He goes from being normal to being confused and throwing a 2 hour tantrum over nothing. He has never acted like this nor has he ever taken tamiflu. TAMIFLU needs to be banned!! | M | 4 | 5 days | 1/28/2013 | 1 | Flu | Severe stomach pains. Upset stomach. Dry heaves chest pains mental confusion | Each person is different. This is a controversial drug. I decided to stop after only 2 doses. I will just ride it out with rest and fluids and let my body produce the antibodies needed to fight the virus | M | 65 | 1 days 2X day | 1/27/2013 | 5 | influenza b | My 8 yr old exp no side effects it was like a magic pill | He was in bed not able to move was given his 1st dose fever was gone and up and out in about 2 hours..2 days later we were able to go on our sched vacation he functioned fine it was like a miracle. | M | 8 | 5 days 75 2X day | 1/26/2013 | 3 | Flu | Very bad Nausea on 3rd day so I discontinued use, also had some insomnia and crazy dreams | Flu symptoms were definitely reduced by taking Tamiflu but nausea problems forced me to stop taking | M | 54 | 3 days 75mg 2X day | 1/26/2013 | 5 | Diagnosed with the flu | I experienced no side effects from this wonderful medication. It helped me feel much better and get rid of the flu much faster! | Next time I have the flu this will be the first thing I go get. As long as you take with food and do as directed you will have no side effects. | M | 18 | 4 days 75 MG 2X day | 1/24/2013 |
