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  type A influenza horrible stomach muscle spasms, insane dreams, very, very un-characteristic behavior & depression. i felt like a completely different person, some of the thoughts and feelings i had while taking this drug were enough to scare me to discontinue use after second day. will NOT recommend or use this product ever again. letting the flu bug run its course is much safer than using this product M 34 2 days

 3  flu symptoms diarrhea, definite negative psychological effects, sleep disturbance, bizarre dreams. Felt immediately better after first dose. Definitely significantly reduced flu symptoms, especially cough, chills, and feeling deathly ill. Have taken 3 doses now, and experiencing diarrhea, and other listed side effects. Going to take one more dose tonight and play it by ear, but I think that will be my last dose. I think this drug needs further research by someone other than Roche, the manufacturer. I would take it again, as it really knocked the worst symptoms, but I am not going to take the full regimen, which means what effectiveness the drug does have will soon be gone probably, all in the name of the almighty dollar: my cost $130 for the tamiflu, $95 for the DocintheBox.

 4  got influenza b The only side effect I'm experiencing is diarrhea and stomach cramps. My son 9 andhusband 36 is also taking it as prevention and have no side effects. I felt great within 24 hours after taking it. DO NOT stop taking before it's gone. The flu you have can mutant into a straind of super flu and start a whole different outbreak. Take care and eat when you take it. F 37 2 days

 1  Flu My 6 year old was prescribed this medication because he was having high fevers and a cough. The doctor said he had the flu. I normally always come to this site and check out the reviews. I guess I was desperate to get my son feeling well as the high fevers make me nervous. Do not give your children this drug. I gave this to my son and about an hour later he was throwing up. He kept throwing up, like a faucet. Why give your kid or anyone a drug that's going to make them feel worse? Once he got it out of his system he was fine and out of bed for a bit, talking, laughing, etc. I had to have the doctor call in a prescription for Zofran so he could keep the Motrin and Tylenol down. I'm just going to let the virus run its course and continue the Motrin and Tylenol. I also have a friend who was told she had the flu Thursday and was prescribed Tamiflu and she threw up from the moment she got it to a day before she was to stop taking it STAY AWAY AND DO NOT GIVE IT TO YOUR KIDS!!!

 4  Flu While having the flu I had the absolute worst symptoms you could have. You name it, I had it. After the first day ( 2 doses ) of tamiflu i felt almost 100% better. The downside is I was always feeling nauseas, and dizzy, and I felt like it would give me a mild case of insomnia at night. It really did help with the flu symptoms though, I was miserable before taking these pills! F 19 4 days

 1  Flu insomnia, nausea, dizziness, anxiety, depression, confusion, vivid dreams/nightmares, irrational thinking I would never have taken this medication had I even thought for a second I would experience what I have. I have stopped the medicine and will not finish the recommended doses. I am so disappointed that no one warned me of the seriousness of some of the side effects. Even after a call to the pharmacist and doctor, I was made to feel nothing like this had ever happened to anyone before. I wonder how long it will stay in my system, I've heard it varies from person to person, depending on the severity of their virus. F 33 2 days

 1  Influenza A My son was presribed tamiflu to help with flu symptoms.....very scary! About 45 min after taking it, he woke up from a dead sleep and could not speak, just cried and stared blankly at the wall. It was as if everything was frozen-he looked at my husband and I as if we were strangers. Because this is such a widely popular drug, I cannot believe there were not any warnings of these risks. We will NEVER give Tamiflu to any of our other children for fear of the same reaction. M 6

 1  Flu My son experienced sudden severe chills. His temperature spiked to 103.7and kept rising.. He said he felt like he could not move. I immediately gave him some tylenol and continued hugging him until he finally fell asleep. I was very scared. I stopped giving him the pills because the symptoms were worst than the flu symptoms.

 1  I have the flu I took 2 doses of the Tamiflu yesterday, after the 2nd dose I started feeling severe tightening in my chest and it was becoming harder to breathe. It almost felt like I was having an anxiety attack. My skin started feeling hot and I couldn't calm myself down. I called the pharmacist whom informed me I was more than likely having an adverse reaction to the medication and to discontinue use. It took me quite some time to fall asleep for I was terrified I might not wake up. Being a Mother of a 3 year old, that was a horrible thought. This morning, I feel worse than I did before Tamiflu. I am experiencing nausea, confusion, dizziness and shakiness. I do NOT recommend this drug, especially to children! BEWARE! F 29 1 days

 3  Flu I have taken 2.5 days worth of this medicine. By the second day, I could not sleep. At this moment, I haven't slept in almost 48 hours and do not feel tired at all. In fact, I feel very strange. I am concerned about taking another dose. While my flu symptoms have subsided (I'm only left with a stuffy nose and deep cough), my mental and sleeping states are very concerning to me. F 31 3 days

 1  Influenza A Please do not give this to your children! After the second dose, my son kept waking up with nightmares running around the house. When he was awake he said his hands felt big and everything was moving really fast. We discontinued use after the second dose and hopefully the side effects will go away soon. M 10 1 days
