| 1 | H1N1 | Severe anxiety, depression, psychosis, severe panic attacks for no reason, AGITATION stomach issues, loss of appetite. | I'm a working professional with no history of anxiety/depression/psychosis. I had to take a month leave from work and attended a mental health day clinic. The psychiatrist prescribed antidepressants and other meds (i didnt take). slowly things got better. overall it took 6-8 months to return to "normal". [email protected] DO NOT GIVE TO CHILDREN! | F | 36 | 4 days 75mg 1X day | 3/8/2012 | 1 | Severely Sore Throat | Intense, Non-Stop Vomiting that would not stop for over 24 hours. I literally threw up every single thing I ate, and then started throwing up water and bile. | Try not to take this medication if you can do anything else to recover from teh flu. | F | 37 | 2 days 75MG 2X day | 3/7/2012 | 1 | Possible Flu A | Parents: DO NOT give this medication to your children!!!! If your doctor prescribes this medication to your child, tell them they better figure something else out. GRILL your doctor til their eyes fall out if their head and see what they know about Tamiflu. My son was prescribed this medication as a "preventative" because of possible flu. Usually I am very inquisitive, but I just wanted my son to feel better, so I quickly started him on this joke of a medicine. SHOULD HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH. My son started acting very strangely-was very dizzy, being very clingy one moment and didn't want me or my husband to touch him the next moment, restless, woke up many times as though he was having terrible dreams, and acted like he was in terrible pain at times. Especially in little ones who can't speak for themselves, BE THEIR VOICE AND SAY NO TO TAMIFLU! I'm SO MAD at myself for not asking questions. I pray that he will not have any lasting side effects from this! | 1 | 3 days | 3/5/2012 | 4 | Flu A | Insomnia, mild nausea relieved with antinausea meds, nervousness, heartburn | I noticed a difference in my flu symptoms after my 2nd dose. It took away my fever, headache, chills but I still feel really fatigued and run down. I also have some back pain but I am not sure if thats the flu or tamiflu. Not my favorite med but I have asthma and would like to reduce my risk of complications. | F | 33 | 5 days 75 mg 2X day | 3/2/2012 | 2 | Diagnosed with flu (Type A) | I wasn't feeling well for 3 days. On day 4, I went to the doctor and I tested positive for the flu. I was told to take tamiflu twice a day for five days. I began feeling light-headed / dizzy if I stood or sat up for more than 15 minutes or so. At first, I thought it was the flu getting the best of me. I decided to read the side effects of tamiflu and found this site. After taking 3 doses, I decided to skip the 4th dose and felt noticeably better. I'm not taking it anymore. | F | 40 | 4 days 2x / day | 3/2/2012 | 1 | Precautionary. Work in hospital | I work in a nursing home. Due to flu outbreak, we were given Tamiflu as a precaution. After the second dose, I started to feel Itchy all over. By the second dose, I developed a rash on my arms, legs trunk, and back. Some are hive-like. My scalp feels like there are ants crawling! I am sorry I did not find this website before taking this medication. The box that I was given had no warnings; and I am highly allergic to sulfa. I will not take this again; and will let my children know not to give it to our grandchildren. | F | 63 | 2 days 75 mg 1X day | 3/2/2012 | 1 | Flu - HIVES REACTION | Saturday went to my doctor with bad flu symptoms, since I'm HIV positive he probably assumed I was severely ill and prescribed me the strongest thing out there to try and alleviate my condition. I took one pill at noon and the next one 12 hours later. Sunday morning I noticed red bumps pop up on my hands, wrists, and forearms. I dismissed them thinking they were bed bug bites or flea bites from my new dog. I took the pill as usual at around 11:00am. By the afternoon these bumps began to itch severely, and by the evening my chest and my whole upper body seemed irritated with some kind of rash. I stupidly took the next dose (now the 4th pill, second day dose) and within hours my whole body exploded in hives. I stopped immediately and have been told my doctor to take Benadryl. Within 24 hours of stopping the Tamiflu treatment my hives have slightly decreased in redness and some spots have faded, along with some of the itchiness, and its somewhat stopped spreading. However, it looks like i | I would recommend this treatment to absolutely no one. Considering that hives/rash are an uncommon side effect it seems that the pharmaceutical companies and even some doctors are baffled when hives are brought up as a result of Tamiflu. | M | 22 | 2 days 75mg 2X day | 2/28/2012 | 3 | Diagnosed with Influenza type A | Absolute fatigue. Vertigo type sensations. Aching thighs/legs. And the craziest dreams. Could have been caused by the flu but really doubt it. Felt very very strange all week whilst on it! | 48 | 5 days 75MG 2X day | 2/25/2012 | 3 | Flu | Dizziness. Didn't notice it when I was sick but more so after flu symptoms subsided. | F | 29 | 6 days 75mg x 2 | 2/22/2012 | 1 | tested positive for flu | My son was prescribed tamiflu after testing positive for the flu. Initially, he complained of diarrhea. But, after the 3rd dose he experienced excruciating stomach pains, severe nausea, and tingling lips. He was extremely uncomfortable, the stomach pain was worse than the flu itself. I became very concerned and researched the potential side effects...if I had known, I never would have given him the Tamiflu. | I would NOT recommend this medicine. I believe my son was recovering on his own and this drug created unnecessary pain and worry. Typically I research medicine BEFORE I give it to my children...I will not make that mistake again. | M | 13 | 2 days 75 2X day | 2/22/2012 | 1 | Positve for Infuenza | Had cold like symptoms. Went to the doctor and they prescribed me Tamiflu... Took the first pill at 7pm by 7:15 I was hugging the toilet. About every fifteen minutes I was getting sick. This happened nine times. Could not sleep have severe headache and backpain.. I took one pill and will not be taking it again. | Would not recommend... | F | 26 | 5 days 75 mg 2X day | 2/15/2012 | 2 | Diagnosed with Influenza | The worst side effect I am still having is the hives, my skin is itchy, and feels great to scratch, but then these little pin prick bumps come up after, I am covered in scabs. I started getting these hives about two days into it, I didn't notice much difference in the lessening of days, I think I would've recovered just fine on my own. I will never let my children take this medication thanks to all of the people who have posted here. I will never take it again, all this itching for days and days is ridiculous! I have been off the meds for five days and no end in sight with hives. | If only I would've known, I never would've taken it. | F | 32 | 5 days 30mg 2X day | 2/13/2012 | 1 | Flu | Okay Friday went to doctor got a shot for the flu started feeling better! My doctor said I was still going to have to take TAMIFLU and z pack so that morning I took the first pill hour later I couldn't stop throwing up!! I felt way worse I will never take TAMIFLU again!!! :( the weird thing my brother had no problems on it and we r twins. | F | 16 | 1 days | 2/11/2012 | 1 | Tested positive for flu | My 4 year old son was prescribed tamiflu after being tested and diagnosed positive for the flu after only 24 hours of the symptoms onset. Only 1 hour after giving my son this medication, he became violently ill. He cried because of stomach pain for about 30 minutes, then vomited every half an hour for the next three hours. | I threw the medicine in the garbage! Tamiflu was worse than the flu! I will never give my son this medicine again. | F | 4 | 1 days 2X day | 2/10/2012 | 2 | Flu | Tamiflu made me very sick! 1 hr after taking this medication I was hugging the toilet as well. I'm a nurse and see many patients on this medication. This is a wonderful drug it just wasn't for me. On the patients that respond well to then it does work wonders in the length of time that they experience symptoms. It did well for my husband. He felt better in 2 days. | F | 24 | 1 days 75mg | 2/6/2012 | 1 | Diagnosed with flu | I began feeling bad on Monday, went to the dr on Wednesday thinking I had a bad sinus infection, no biggie. But they went ahead and did the flu test. It came back positive. Great. So the doc prescribes tamiflu. Told me it would shorten the time of the flu. I took the first one and two hours later I was hugging the toilet but that was the only time that day. I took another that night and one more the next day. Again about two hours after taking it I was vomitting. Thinking it was like the day before it would happen once and I would be fine. WRONG! About an hour after I threw up again then about every ten to fifteen minutes I was vomitting. I was miserable! That was yesterday. I didn't take the other dose last night. I still have the flu but hopefully the throwing up is over bc I won't be taking anymore tamiflu. Besides the horrible vomitting I haven't slept more than three hours a night since taking this medicine and I feel like my heart is racing sometimes. In edgy. I did not know before taking this medication all the warnings and horrible stories. I can assure you I am going to continue to get over the flu without another dose and will never take it again. And I will warn others not to take this. | F | 26 | 2 days 75 mg | 2/3/2012 | 1 | Flu | After taking this medication, I began having terrible headaches, very dizzy, very high fever, nightmares, my face swelled up so much that my eyes were almost shut. I broke out in red blotches everywhere on my body and my hands and feet were swollen. I do not recommend this medicine at all. | F | 29 | 3 days 30 2X day | 1/23/2012 | 1 | had the flu | Do not take this!!! It made me so dizzy and I could not walk unless my husband helped me. I had to call 911 on the second day because I felt like I was going to pass out at any point.. it also give me major panic attacks and made me cry a lot for no reason...since I stopped taking it I feel amazing and that is still with the flu...it is just not worth all of the effects...if you just rest and push fluids you will be fine. Plus tamiflu only reduces the number of days that you have the flu by 1.3 days... | F | 30 | 3 days 75 m x2 | 1/15/2012 | 1 | Prescribed by doc for flu | Hellish headache, nausea, vomiting, sinuses feel "burned out" and nothing smells the way it should | Short of having swine flu, I would never use this med again. My doc prescribed it because I had flu symptoms less than 2 days. She thought it would help, but next day nausea and vomiting started. Then I got a persistant, MASSIVE headache (not good, as I already suffer from frequent cluster headaches). I won't be taking another dose. It's just not worth it just to knock a couple days off the course of the flu. | F | 50 | 4 days 75mg 2X day | 1/14/2012 | 3 | possible flu | I was pretty miserable when I was prescribed Tamiflu and the Z pack. I felt bad Tues night, went to Dr the Dr on Wed. By then I had chills, body aches, chest hurt, eyes hurt, head was killing me, ears hurt, couldn't breath, fever, and could not move! I started taking the meds that night. Today (Sat) is the first day I was able to get out if bed. I couldn't say if Tamiflu would be the reason I felt so bad it not? I will say the headaches were worse and I did notice more irrational behaviors (temper quick to surface). But everything I've read say the flu itself will bring those on too. I haven't seen any other updates in the last two months about this drug, so I thought I'd put mine in. | F | 33 | 6 days 75Mg | 1/8/2012 |
