| 3 | My kids tested positive ages 1 &10 | After reading all the reviews on side effects, especially for children I decided to discontinue use. My one yr old daughter and 10yr old son started tamiflu within 24-48 hrs of symptoms of flu such as high fever and body ache. The ER Dr. Prescribed the drug and did not mention one thing about side effects! I was very nervous for my daughter because she was only 14 mo. Old and with the flu. I knew it would hit her harder than older children so I filled the prescription and started it right away. I will say that after the second day my children felt a little better. The fever went down, the body ache was less intense, and headache was gone in my 10yr old. My daughter also looked like she felt better because she started walking around the house again and her fever was less frequent as well. The drug seems to be working okay, however there are some side effects that are present in my kids that I read on here. My daughters heartbeat was racing at what felt like 200 beats per minute last night. I almost took her back to ER but, I decided that high fever does that and at that time she did have a high fever 102. Now I know it prob had something to do with drug. Needless to say I did not sleep a wink because I was so nervous and stressed out about her. symptoms. On top of the rapid heartbeat she was very wakeful while on this medicine. She would wake by jerking moving, or twitching every 5 min. Which I now know is prob due to nightmares which I read is another side effect of tamiflu. | 1 | 2 days 5ml | 11/12/2012 | 1 | H1N1 | Severe dizziness, hallucinations, panic attacks, severe anxiety. Lasted 3 years. | I'm 14 and took Tamiflu 3 years ago. Worst mistake in my entire life. If you are considering taking this, DON'T. The symptoms are still here and still occur every so often. I was so anxious I couldn't leave the house or go to school. I had to be homeschooled for a year to recover from this. After, I had severe panic attacks just until a few months ago. DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. | F | 14 | 1X day | 10/11/2012 | 2 | Fly symptoms, ie fever, aches, HA | I felt better after 3 doses but when I got to 4th and 5th dose I started getting side effects. I was dizzy and that set off a panic attack where I had to breathe into a paper bag. Probably dizzy bc I had severe diarrhea. After everything I ate or drank I had to RUN to the bathroom. I am not taking the 6th dose tonight. I think I would have ratcheted tough out flu symptoms than have a severe panic attack or feel like I'm getting a colonoscopy prep. I'd never take it again. I'm a pharmacist and can't say I'd recommend it!!!! | F | 43 | 3 days 75mg | 9/5/2012 | 4 | For a flu virus | The main one is thirst and feeling depressed. Generally good though. I was reading through all the comments quite shocked! I agree with a couple like I got nightmares a hilusonation but this could of been due to a high tempreture so cant blame tamiflu altogether. Slight sick feeling in tummy but my appetite has been good. | F | 25 | 6 days 75 | 8/3/2012 | 1 | Influenza type b | Within two hours of taking the first dose, I began vomiting uncontrollably and that continued for about 5 hours. I couldn't keep anything down. I attributed that initially to the flu. However, after the 2nd and 3rd doses produced the same results, I went back to the doctor who told me to stop taking the tamiflu. He gave me a shot to try to calm my nausea and vomiting. No more vomiting after that last dose got out of my system, but for several days, I have been feeling strange sensations that feel like my skin is trying to come off my body, just odd and uncomfortable, like jitters and nerves. I also have an egg allergy so couldn't take the flu shot. | Two family members took this at the same time as I did and neither of them had the same reaction so I am not sure why I did. The only thing I can think of is that because I have a slight egg allergy, something in this medication reacted to that, but I will never take it again. | F | 58 | 2 days 30 2X day | 7/25/2012 | 1 | Influenza B | My roommate had the flu and I came down with early symptoms so I rushed myself to the dr. I was prescribed tamiflu 75 mg 2x a day for 5 days. I took the first pill around 6 pm. Within an hour while at the store I became very dizzy. I started feeling out of control. Within two hours I was sobbing for no reason and within 3 hours violently puking. I felt like my body was On fire. I became severely dehydrated and couldn't stop throwing up I ended up being hospitalized. The flu is horrible but DO NOT take this medication!!!!! It's a joke how they can openly poison people like this!!!!! | F | 22 | 1 days 75 | 5/19/2012 | 1 | Flu-like symptoms | After I took my first dose, I felt like I was going back to normal. That was around 6 PM, and around 12 AM I started to feel extremely nauseous. It took me an hour to fall asleep, but I slept great without any issues. The next morning I felt better, and I took the next pill at 7 AM and around 1 PM I started to realize that my neck and scalp were really itchy. I also started to feel very nauseous and dizzy. At this point, I had diarrhea. I took a nap and woke up feeling nauseous still. No more Tamiflu for me! Don't take it if you don't have to! | F | 25 | 1 days 75 mg 2X day | 5/11/2012 | 5 | Flu symptoms | nausea, but that was a cakewalk compared to flu symptoms and only lasted several hours. feel much better after 3 capsules. still not out of the woods, but much better. this stuff workss | F | 72 | 2 days | 4/23/2012 | 5 | Flu symptoms | nausea, but that was a cakewalk compared to flu symptoms and only lasted several hours. feel much better after 3 capsules. still not out of the woods, but much better. this stuff workss | F | 72 | 2 days | 4/23/2012 | 1 | influenza type b | Due of a fever of 40C or due to taking Tamiflu, my daughter had a nightmare and got out of the upstairs window onto the roof, then she went down to the ground somehow, and started to run off down the street. Two days later and her legs have started to hurt. Maybe Tamiflu is o.k. for high risk groups but otherwise don't give it. We live in Japan where some problems (deaths from falling, etc) have occurred in the past. The Doctor who gave us Tamiflu didn't say anything about side effects. The Doctor who examined our daughters legs seemed to have heard about these kind of things. | F | 9 | 1 days dont know 2X day | 4/19/2012 | 1 | Preventative | The doctor gave this to me as a preventative with pain killers (hydrocodine - and I was wandering why she had prescribed me it). I regret taking this medicine. It has caused me to have very, very weird dreams, thoughts, and hallucinations. Whenever I took the medicine, I began to feel dizzy and tired; I automatically went to sleep (it caused me to become lethargic in a sense). This is not the worst side effect of it - from day one - I have been experiencing horrible stomach pains. These stomach pains are like no other - they feel like the inside of my stomach is on fire, that I'm going to explode, like there are a million needles going through my insides. It has caused me to lose my appetite and the pain killers are not helping me. Last night, I could not stop vomiting - I vomited everything ... I couldn't keep anything down. I decided yesterday to discontinue (after I only had 3 pills remaining) and I would say its been about 24 hours and I am experiencing sweats, fevers, and the stom | DON'T TAKE IT - STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!! | F | 23 | 5 days 75 MG 2X day | 4/9/2012 | 1 | Influenza B | After taking tamiflu I have not been feeling normal. I am very nervous, i feel very jittery, i cannot relax, having difficulty sleeping, i cannot concentrate on anything, having weird thoughts like I am going crazy(it is very difficult to explain this weird feeling, but it does not feel good)., | I would never recommend this med to anyone. I cannot believe this medication is given to children. Please think twice about taking this medicine. | F | 34 | 5 days 2X day | 3/26/2012 | 2 | Flu Virus Confirmed | Severe Leg Pain in back of legs. Started in one leg, the next day it occurred in both. Particularly bad in the AM. Unable to stand or walk. | After 2nd day (4th dose) side effects began. After 3rd day (6th dose) use of product was discontinued. | M | 9 | 2 days 5ml 2X day | 3/24/2012 | 1 | H1N1 | Bizarre behavior, hallucinations, blank expression, diarhea, stomach cramps, insomnia, nightmares. NOT FOR CHILDREN | F | 4 | 3 days 2x a day | 3/24/2012 | 5 | Influenza A | nausea with first dose | My son who is 11 was diagnosed with the flu yesterday morning after symptoms which started at 6pm the night before. We started him on the Tamiflu by 12:15pm, roughly 18 hours after symptoms had started. The nausea that he experienced with the first dose was probably due to the high fever. Today he has felt like a new kid since he awoke. Still has the congestion, but the fever is controlled with Motrin every 6 hours. No complaints of aches, or pain in legs today. Hope this helps. Tamiflu really works when given early in regards to symptoms | M | 11 | 2 days 75mg 2X day | 3/23/2012 | 5 | Flu on vaca with family | On our way to stay with family I developed a high fever. Went to ER to figure out cause because of the 2 yo & pregnant mom we were on our way to visit. ER gave me tamiflu. Only side effect I know T. caused is uncontrollable diarrhea for the first day. It definitely is working for me. I did get the worst sunburn I've ever had in my life while taking it but that could be a coincidence as this is my first time in southern FL. I'm glad I gave it a try. | F | 37 | 1 weeks | 3/19/2012 | 5 | Influenza Type A | I noticed very little side effects. Slight nausea and rapid heartbeat but it was only the first few doses. It worked well for me. | F | 36 | 4 days 75mg | 3/18/2012 | 5 | Swine Flu | No noticable side affects. | Before taking tamiflu: I had severe chills and pain in all muscles with every move. Aches all over and fever sweats. After tamiflu: Felt better with on 2 days of doses and back to work by 3rd day. Did not notice any side effects that I did not have with the flu before taking perscription. Was glad that I felt alot better with in 48 hours. | M | 52 | 5 days 75MG 2X day | 3/12/2012 | 1 | Flu | Dizzyness, sleeplessness and night sweating, strange thoughts, INTENSE stomach pain | Didn't notice any side affects after the first dose. Took the second dose last night and within 10 mins felt some stomach pains but was able to quickly fall asleep. I was woken up 2 hours later because of SERIOUS stomach pains that almost brought me to vomiting. I didn't eat with the second dose and thought that might be why I was feeling the way that I was. I didn't sleep the rest of the night and had horrible sweating on and off, yet had no fever! I decided to take another dose this morning WITH food, and have been in agony all day. It literally feels as though there is a rock in my stomach. On top of the pains, I've had waves of odd feelings rush over me ranging from depression and anxiety to actually tearing up watching a South Park episode! I have no flu symptoms at all, and am house ridden now because of this disgusting drug. It should be banned. I will not take another dose and DO NOT recommend it to ANYONE. The joke of this drug is that it only SHORTENS the length of the flu by a small amount (0.5-1.0 days). Whether you have side effects or not, it is obviously a serious substance and isn't worth putting into your body period. I've never had any drug allergies in the past and have never reacted poorly to antibiotics. I am also a VERY healthy person otherwise. | M | 36 | 1.5 days 75 MG 2X day | 3/10/2012 | 2 | my doctor said i haf the flu. | This drug made me feel so bad. It's 5am right now. And I've never felt like this when having the flu. I'm thinking of not taking them this morning to see if my pain will go away like yesterday. I would question your doctor of the side effects of this Daum drug. Good luck to every one. | M | 25 | 2 days 75 | 3/8/2012 |
