| 1 | flu | my son has slept walked before but usually walks around and finds his way bk to his room. Well tonight after his first dose he woke up walking in circles yelling like something was chasing him. I tried to console him but he kept running away from me like i was something horrible. He kept reaching for stuff that wasnt there. Talking about stuff that didnt make sense. The next episode happened two hours later, same thing crying waking up in a panic. He told me look come here, pointing to my pillow he said look i'm choking you. We're both crying bc i've never seen my child act or say anything like this before. | i called walgreens and the pharmacist says there are no side effects like this with tamiflu, that it must be the fever. His fever was 100 at the most! So i think he really needs to do his research. I would never give this medication to any of my children. | M | 7 | 5 days 3/4 tea 2X day | 2/18/2011 | 1 | flu symptoms | 9 year old daughter is having severe leg pain, to the point of not being able to walk. Also extreme rash on both of her legs. Striated type rash, not spotty or blotching. | F | 9 | 3 days 12 MG 2X day | 2/17/2011 | 2 | My 9 yr old daughter dx with flu | dizziness, weird dreams, sleeplessness | prescribed for my 9 yr old daughter. we gave it to her once - tentatively - after reading all these comments. didn't like the effects so stopped. her fever broke after 2 days. | F | 9 | 1 times 45ml 2X day | 2/16/2011 | 2 | H1N1 | Dry Sinuses, cannot breathe at all. Sweats and general warm feeling (no fever anymore)... | F | 38 | 5 days 75 2X day | 2/16/2011 | 1 | Sleeplessness, Anxiety, not thinking clearly, confusion. Could not sleep for 4 days. TAMIFLU made me wired for days. I do not recommend this to anyone! | M | 45 | 3 days 75 1X day | 2/14/2011 | 1 | My daughter has the flu | Hyper, goofy, drunk like symptoms, my daughter couldn't focus | This also happened to my daughter whenever she was four, she is nine today. I felt like maybe she was aliitle to young for the medicine. She was also delusional. | F | 9 | 5 days 1 teaspoon 2X day | 2/13/2011 | 5 | Flu | A little touch on the stomach, try to eat something and take a immodium after taking the tamiflu | This drug has worked wonders for me!! I took it at the 2nd day of a headache, cough, and chest pain, and I am on the 3rd dose, I am feeling about 65% better, however; I still couldn't go to work today. THIS drug is one of the best I have taken in a long time! | F | 33 | 5 days 75 mg 2X day | 2/11/2011 | 1 | outbreak of flu in nursing home | a severe rash that has lasted over a month with no sign of remitting. | tamiflu should not be forced on patients, especially those who are not ill with the flu. consent from the family needs to be given. another big pharma scam, and now my gramma has a terrible rash, even though she survived the flu outbreak just fine. | F | 98 | 1X day | 2/10/2011 | 4 | Flu | Dry mouth | I do have dry mouth but that is fixed with water. You need to eat with the drug. This should help prevent any naseau and throwing up. That's what really helped me. I eat half of a cereal bar, take the pill, then eat the other half and maybe some extra apple sauce or yogurt or something small! hope this helped! | F | 17 | 5 days 2X day | 2/8/2011 | 1 | Flu | Can't sleep for 2 days, racing thoughts, racing heart rate. | Horrible drug .... would never take again. | F | 42 | 3 days 75 MG 2X day | 2/8/2011 | 4 | Influenza A | Nasty taste in my mouth | So far so good. Not as achy just very tired. Never had the flu before so I think I am doing better. The thing the pharmacist said to me was TAKE WITH FOOD! I haven't felt nauseous at all just have this icky taste in my mouth. | M | 29 | 2 days 30 MG 2X day | 2/7/2011 | 2 | Flu | Restlessness,racing thoughts while trying to sleep. I had trouble going to sleep which made me stay up for over 18hrs. When I did get to sleep it would only be for an hour then my eyes would pop back open. Nausea and diarrhea. Gnawing feeling in stomach. | I was diagnosed with the flu on a Friday and by Sunday I was feeling better and wanted to continue to take the medicine believing it was in my good favor since you suppose to take it until it's gone. However, that's when the restlessness, more noticeable nausea, and diarrhea started. My stomach is still not right and I've been sipping on ginger ale all weekend. I stopped taking this medicine today because my flu symptoms are gone and taking the rest of the meds will do more harm in my opinion. I don't know if Tamiflu helped me get over the flu faster then normal or not but I can attest that if you feel better stop taking it. Also it advises to take with food - that's a joke. I ate food with every dosing and still had the stomach issues. This medicine is too expensive to have people dealing with all these issues and not get the full benefits as claimed from the medication. It's upsetting to say the least. | F | 30 | 3.5 days 75 mg 2X day | 2/7/2011 | 1 | swine flu | depression, anxiety, crying, disconnected with life. | both me and my partner had swine flu at the same time, we both have never suffered from depression before and considered ourselves strong. after 3 days of taking the tamiflu, we both had feelings of depression, anxiety and cried alot. 18 months later we are both still suffering from depression and anxiety and my partner has now got mental health issues, we both believe it be connected with the tamiflu as thats when it started. it is however slowly improving. | F | 36 | 7 days 30mg 1X day | 2/7/2011 | 1 | flu b | Gave one dose to my 10 year old son after diagnosis with in 28 hours of first symptom of headache. It made him very sick with vomiting about 20 minutes after taking. He continued with the nausea for about 6 hours. I started researching this drug and decided not to give him anymore. He is feeling better with the over the counter meds. Since taking the Tamiflu he has not been able to sleep, and it has been about 18 hours since taking the only dose and he has slept about 4 hours where he normally sleeps 10. He is tired but he just can not fall asleep. | I think that the over the counter meds have worked better at making my son comfortable and for the end result of having the flu end possibly 1.5 days earlier, I think we will choose not vomiting for 5 days and suffer the flu one extra day. | F | 43 | 5 days 60mg oral 2X day | 2/6/2011 | 2 | Influenza A | Extream Nausea, restlessness | I got what I thought was the flu on a Tuesday night around 9pm I started to feel bad. Called in sick on Wednesday...but by that evening....I knew it was something else. I checked into the ER at about 9pm Wed...got diagnosed with Influenza A...got prescribed Tamiflu. Took my first dose Thursday at noon...by then I had already been in bed for about 36 hrs straight. After my first dose...the nausea kicked in...bad. I threw up almost 30 mins after taking it...and after that it didnt stop. That entire day I was dry heaving...nothing in my stomach to throw up so it was just me in the toliet attempting to throw up. At one point I think i threw up some stomach fluid (bright yellow nasty tasting stuff)...that scared me. I was also taking ibprofin for the pain which I guess helped my muscle aches. That first night I kept my husband up all night long. I must have turned around to re-fix my position every 5-7 minutes. I was extreamly restless and didnt get one wink of sleep that night. I think I finally got to bed at about 6am Friday morning. About midday when I woke up...all I remembered were the crazy vivid dreams I had. I mean...I've had weird dreams before but these were way out of the ordinary. That entire Friday (yesterday) I was crying, sweating, paranoid, I don't know. I kind of felt like I was strung out on drugs or something...Like I was waiting for something or someone to come...but I really wasn't it was the anxiety or something. I also kind of lost track of ti | F | 27 | 3 days 75mg 2X day | 2/5/2011 | 1 | my 18 month daughter has swine flu | My 18 month daughter always sleeps well, the 2nd and 3 rd night of taking tamiflu she was up screaming in terror every 35 mins, lost and out of it. She is off her food completely and very cross about everything. She would sleep during the day at all...and after reading this site I'm taking her straight off it. Her temp has gone but I don't think that is down to tamiflu | We were given so little advice on taking tamiflu.....simply could make her sick. Outrageous | F | 1 | 5 days 30 2X day | 2/4/2011 | 1 | flu | My 11 month daughter (who is tiny, only 16.5 lbs) took this yesterday around 7 pm because her father and I were diagnosed with the flu (we couldnt afford the med for ourselves). She woke up screaming around 2 am, trying to jump off the bed, and acted like she was scared to death of me!!! (she is a very clingy mommas girl) She kept trying to get away and screamed like she was possessed!! It was awful. After about 2 hours of this she fell asleep again. She woke up at 6, nursed, then was fine and all of a sudden a repeat of her terror! I believe it was the tamiflu. I will not give her anymore, I pray to God that this is temporary and hasn't hurt my baby. | I DO NOT believe this drug should be prescribed to children!!! Serious neurological and psychological side effects!!!! | F | 1 | 1 days 30 mg 1X day | 2/2/2011 | 3 | Flu | My 4 y/o and 7 y/o were both prescribed TamiFlu when the test for flu came back positive. The 4 year old took a capsule, got better and seemed to have no side effects. The 7 year old took the liquid form and kept telling me she felt weird. Her flu symptoms did subside, though. After 3 days, I called the pharmacy, described the symptoms and they told me to stop giving it to her. Wished I'd called earlier. | F | 7 | 3 days 2X day | 1/31/2011 | 3 | Positive for influenza (flu) | Really bad headache that prevents me from sleeping, very dry lips, head floating , very tired all the time, some dizziness. | Started off with fever. Took 4 different kinds of tyneol. Extra strength, complete, fever etc. But fever won't go down. So went to see dr and he gave me tamiflu. Originally. Fever won't go away, dry cough, painful sore throat, no runny noise, no ears blocked.body feels hot n cold the same time. Day1 minor night sweats that feels good after, major headache can't sleep well. Day2 morning fever is gone. Eliminated painful sore throat,ears and nose blocked. Can feel a lot off stuffing in nose but not runny at all, head heavy, tired and sleepy. Day2afternoon 2nd dose, reduced ears n nose blocked but started coughing and u can feel the stuff belongs in ur nose is now in ur throat so u have to try to cough it up often. Bad headache. But can stay awake longer. Weird taste in mouth coz of the nose stuff went to ur throat. Body temp back to normal. But still not as good of a progress as u expected bcos I slept 48hrs straight almost. Skipped meals due to fatigue. Seems like symptoms get push from one area to another. But it still outweigh the terrible fever and hot N cold body temp at same time before taking tamiflu. But not an enjoyable feeling with nose stuff in ur throat. | M | 26 | 5 days 75mg 2X day | 1/30/2011 | 1 | son diagnosed with flu in ER | my 3 & 1/2 year old son couldn't walk straight after taking this drug- he had to hold onto the stair rail and that was to go up the stairs! He started acting irritable, complaining about the tag in his shirt and literally spinning around because he felt "funny." | I'm so irritated that the company gets to put that less then 1% of pediatric patients had adverse side effects like these yet there is evidence that in as many as 51% of kids in London had side effects! If there was ever any doubts that the FDA wasn't financially supported by the drug companies to say what they want I would say this website is proof. | M | 3 | 3 days 45mg 2X day | 1/29/2011 |
