| 1 | Flu | Not good I will not reccomend to anyone | F | 30 | 4 days 75 | 12/11/2011 | 1 | H1N1 | I share a similar experience to the person below me. Since taking the Tamiflu I have had 24/7 migraines for the past 2 years. I took the Tamiflu 2 years ago (age 13) when a doctor diagnosed me as having the H1N1 although a swab was never done to confirm this. Light sensitivity, seeing flashes/stars and noise sensitivity are just a few things that came bundled with my headaches. The vision problems have been steadily worsening, I just came back from an eye test and my eyes were perfect, so it must be neurological. I have seen several doctors and am now regularly seeing a neurologist. I've had an MRI, CT scan as well as a number of bloodtests and so far they can't find anything wrong. Only two things significantly reduce the pain of my migraines, one being marijuana and the other being botox injections around the base of my skull. The Botox injections are by far the most effective, but these can only be done once every 3 months and are not covered by Canada's health care (of course). Oth | Don't take it. The risks far outweigh the benefits, trust me. | M | 15 | 7 days 2X day | 11/21/2011 | 1 | 12-year child for diagnosed H1N1 | In the past 2 years since Tamiflu, my (now 14-year old) has had complex partial seizures, sleep disturbances, attention problems, short term memory deficits, mood swings, irritability, is failing in high school, and has numerous falls. A complete neurological evaluation was inconclusive. She is soon to have a sleep study. Exhibits signs of narcolepsy. Has also had hallucinations and cataplexy attacks. This occurred only since Tamiflu and has continued the past two years. I am a neuroscientist and pharmacist and my observations are not hyperbolic. | I would never ever recommend anyone taking this medication, especially children or teenagers. The side effects can be delayed after the flu and it was some time before I realized all these neuropsychological problems began occurring following Tamiflu. These are gradual and subtle and many parents may not realize why they suddenly have a teenager exhibiting strange neurological and psychological symptoms. | F | 14 | 5 days 75mg 2X day | 10/31/2011 | 1 | Workplace had h1n1 | I started in mid march and was dealthy I'll by end of march!! I had vomitting,diarhea , sore joints and muscles,headaches,feeling like I was dying,terrible dreams and terrible panic attacks.after many hospital visits and many tests done not 1 doctor would admit it was the tamiflu they all just thought I needed psychiatrists.I lost My appetite as well for 3 weeks and over 13 weeks need up relapses 3 times!! | this was a drug I was forced to take for returning back to work and would not recommend to anyone not even my pets!!! It took me 13 weeks to get better and lost 35 pnds!!! | F | 37 | 7 days 1X day | 9/16/2011 | 1 | Preventative Measures | I did not have the flu but was given this because my wife was diagnosed. I felt fine up until taking this drug. Then I thought I had the flu. Horrible body aches, light headedness, headaches, lack of appetite, run down feeling. | Since stopping this on my own I am fine. Would rather stick with the other flu drug, Relenza. | M | 40 | 10 days 75 2X day | 8/20/2011 | 1 | My two year old tested positive | DO NOT GIVE THIS MEDICINE TO YOUR CHILDREN!!! My two year old was given it a couple years ago and I filed a complaint with the Doctor and the FDA. I stopped giving it to her after 2 days because she began hallucinating and becoming paranoid. She would scream a frightening paranoid scream all through the night and she would pound her head into the walls. It took us almost a 9 months for her to return to normal. This DRUG NEEDS TO BE BANNED. Do your research. In Japan, the drug is banned in children under 16 for the same reasons. The doctors here looked at me like I was making it up and claimed they've never heard of it. This stuff is HORRIBLE!!! | F | 2 | 2 days 2X day | 6/17/2011 | 1 | flu | Bad, Bad, Bad Headaches and stomach aches | Please don't take this medication...ever... | M | 57 | 4 days 2X day | 4/10/2011 | 4 | Feel edgy, having bizarre thoughts, like feeling as if I might say something inappropriate to someone or do something strange like chewing the stuffing out of a pillow like a dog. Strange dreams. | I had a nasal swab and tested positive for influenza type A. I took Tamilflu for 5 days. I felt better by the second day and was much relieved because I felt like I was hit by a truck on the first day.However I have been having strange thoughts vivid bizarre dreams. It has been 2 weeks now and I don't feel like myself. Two family members got the flu too and took this medicine and they are saying they have similar symptoms. Makes me feel edgy too. Lack of energy. I am very worried that these symptoms are permanent like it has changed my brain. I would not have taken this medication had I known I would have dealt with my flu symptons. Tamiflu did help me get over the flu, but two weeks later I still feel odd. I'm scared that this strange feeling might last forever and feel terrible that I recommended this medication to friends/family. | F | 46 | 5 days 2X day | 4/9/2011 | 1 | flu symptoms | Felt much better (within hours) after taking the first pill, but after the first two pills, I started getting these weird mouth lesions inside and outside of my mouth--very painful, couldn't eat anything and my fever returned along with some nausea--I'd rather have gotten the flu full force and have it over with than have those mouth sores again which took almost two weeks to disappear! | I'll just make sure I wash my hands more often and forget about this drug--the flu is better and I'm usually fine within a day or two anyway. My wife was smarter than I was--she started getting sick after I did and took 2500 mg of sub lingual B12 twice a day for two days and felt better in just a few hours--never got the flu symptoms. | M | 51 | 3 days 75 mg 2X day | 4/8/2011 | 2 | Flu | Migrane, vommiting, dizzyness | I had the flu for 3 days then started the tamiflu, after the tamiflu I couldn't hold down anything, and I had a migrane so bad that I could not see straight. | F | 28 | 7 days 2X day | 3/29/2011 | 1 | preventitive measure | MIGRAINE!!! VOMITING, ANXIETY, SLEEPLESSNESS | I took it for two days. It was horrible. I would rather take my chances at getting the flu than take this medicine again. It has the worst side effects I have ever experienced!!! I do not recommend this medication to anyone!!!! | F | 22 | 5 days 2X day | 3/21/2011 | 4 | type b flu | anxiety,nervesness,felt like withdraws. | It did work well. Problems were a day after I was done taking medications. | M | 40 | 5 days 75mg 2X day | 3/18/2011 | 1 | 15 yr. old daughter for flu symptom | Psychosis. Inability to speak, delusions, crying, insomnia, anxiety, tight chest | Diagnosed with altered mental state due to Tamiflu. High blood pressure and heart rate along with severe spysch symptoms. Flushed with fluids inpatient and meds to calm. Going on day 5 with slow improvement. Starting to speak again. | F | 15 | 2 days 60 2X day | 3/16/2011 | 1 | Influenza A Virus | My 4 year old son was bouncing off the walls and saying things about death, dying, and killing. It is way out of his character and scared me. He was also hitting his sister for no reason. He developed a rash. My 6 year old daughter was sleep walking. She was taking the meds to prevent getting the flu so there is no other reason for her to sleep walk. My face is tingling and getting puffy. I was catching myself feeling very angry at people for doing things like waking me from a nap. I had trouble sleeping. One night I only got 2 hours sleep and was able to go all day without feeling like I needed more. Which isnt normal for me. I stopped the meds yesterday after my face started getting this tingling feeling. | Will never take this again | F | 26 | 3 days 75mg 2X day | 3/13/2011 | 1 | Child exposed to Influenza A. | My six year old daughter began hallucinating the 7th night she took this medicine. It was the absolute scariest thing i have ever seen.DO NOT GIVE THIS TO YOUR CHILDREN. She now appears to have short term memory issues, but has stopped seeing and hearing things thankfully. My daughter did not have a fever or the flu so it was definitely the tamiflu that caused this. She is on no other medications and she does not have any mental or behavioral issues. | Do NOT give this to your children. | F | 6 | 7 days 1X day | 3/12/2011 | 2 | Flu virus | Son prescribed for flu. Extremely dizzy,vomiting, stomach pains after taking medicine. Went on Tamiflu's website and read a special warning for children and adolescents that warn immediately after taking Tamiflu, children and adolescents are prone to confusion and self-injury. I wish my pharmacist would have told me about that side-effect. Son couldn't walk down the hallway, had to lay down he was so dizzy. Children really need to be watched closely after taking that medicine. I stopped giving it to him after he begged me not too due to vomiting so much. Not worth the side effects. | M | 12 | 2 days 60mg 2X day | 3/11/2011 | 1 | FLU | After every dose extreme nausea, vomiting, cramps, bloating, headache, hallucinations, anger, fatigue, emotional breaks, and Depression, This is the worst drug ever after taking it for 4 days i found these reviews and am now stopping. This drug is worse than the flu itself. Never ever take this medication if home care is not enough ask for something else. | F | 21 | 4 days 75 2X day | 3/11/2011 | 4 | prophylaxis | mild to moderate headache. | I work at a health care facility that had an influenza outbreak, and employees were offered tamiflu. | 47 | 10 days 75 1X day | 3/10/2011 | 1 | influenza b | extreme nausea, vomiting,sharp stomach pains, confusion | M | 9 | 1 days 1 tsp 2X day | 3/9/2011 | 1 | 10yr old son was | My son had hallucinations, seeing people in his room bouncing off the walls yelling "jump". Hearing loud noises and actually thought Barak Obama was in our house. It cost me $90 dollars and was a waste of money. He healed well enough after stopping Tamilu, just good ol' fashion home care. Never give or take tamilfu! | M | 34 | 1 days 4 ml 6X day | 3/8/2011 |
