| 1 | Influenza b | Gvn to my son 2.5yrs for 5 dyas. Reduced flu symptoms n fever after 2 doses. My son had a relapse of flu b attack. Given second time I stopped the Medici e midway as my son got more violent. I would advice parents to think carefully before deciding to give the drug to young ones. | M | 2.5 | 5 days 30 mg 2X day | 5/6/2010 | 5 | Flu | I took it with breakfast & dinner. Loose bowl movements, after those meals, but no other side effects. | I would take this medicine again. I am feeling much better now! | F | 40 | 5 days 75mg 2X day | 5/3/2010 | 2 | I had the flu | I took one dose of this medicine. I felt great after about 1/2 an hour (my headache, sore throat, fever, chills, and aches and pains were gone) so my husband helped me move off the couch and into bed so I could actually try and sleep. About 20 minutes in bed and I started throwing up every 10-15 minutes for 4 hours straight. I refused to take any more of the medicine. Too bad considering I paid $15 and my insurance picked up $96.00 for this. | F | 25 | 1 days 75 mg 2X day | 4/25/2010 | 1 | h1n1 positive | My doctor prescribed me tamiflu and i was going to start but after reading this forum, I decided not to. I have to admit some of the side effects described are the same as my flu experience (without the tamiflu). especially the insomnia, my past 5 nights have been terrible, i cannot sleep, i sweat like mad (the whole day but especially at night) and my brain is just hyperactive and i feel like i'm going mad. I also have such bitterness in my mouth that it prevents me from sleeping. i suggest do not take tamiflu unless u r very seriously ill can't breathe etc coz i got past it without it and tho it was like hell, at least i did not vomit or have abdominal problems. (except slight nausea) | F | 29 | 0 days 1X day | 4/21/2010 | 1 | early diagnosis of flu (2 days) | First day: Nausea, had to take with full meal. Drowsy and dizzy. Slow reaction time. Second day: Equilibrium affected a bit more. Third day: Sleep disturbances including, feeling of soles of feet "burning" and tingling in left leg with muscle spasm of that leg, not like restless leg. Nightmares, heart flutters. | I would not take this product again. | F | 58 | 3 days 75 MG 2X day | 4/16/2010 | 4 | swine flu | diarrhea and skin rash | Tamiflu worked great it brought my one year olds fever from 104dg to 100dg by day two. He got diarrhea on second day along with a rash by day three. He was sleepy, but could be from the flu. This medication worked well and I would use it again if I had to. He was also prescribed omnicef for precautions so the side effects could be from that medication. When his flu swab came back positive for swine flu I gave him 2 doses that day of 30 mg. and he was showing sighns of improvement by day two. I read the post on this medication after giving him this medication and was freaked out by what was being said about this drug. Thank god he did not experiance any of those symptons, those symptoms could possibly be from the flue itself. | M | 1 | 5 days 2X day | 4/11/2010 | 1 | Sore Throat | vomiting, ear aches, mucus discharge from eyes, red eyes, stomach ache. no sleep, dry throat, severe cough. | This medication made me feel worse. I cant believe someone would prescribe this medication when I have read dont know how many comments of how bad this med made people including me feel. Do not take this pill!!!! i stopped. everyday was a new side effect. | F | 24 | 4 days 75 1X day | 4/11/2010 | 1 | H1N1 | Strange behavior, vocal tics, aggression, hallucinations | Last November (09) my six year old son was prescribed Tamiflu for possible H1N1 flu. After the first dose, his fever spiked to 104 and he was very lethargic and refused anything by mouth. By the next morning, his fever was down and he was feeling better. BUT, the next day he started acting violent and trying to hurt himself. He also started whispering words to himself. In the following weeks he developed several vocal tics which were severe enough that we couldn't leave the house. We took him to his Pedi, a neurologist, and had several tests done. There was no explanation for his odd behavior other than the Tamiflu. Our Pedi told us that it does have neuro-psychotic side effects and that it should eventually go away. It's been almost five months and he still has some residual tics. If I had known about the potential side effects, I would have NEVER given my young son this drug. | M | 6 | 5 days 45mg 2X day | 4/11/2010 | 2 | flu like symptoms | Unable to fall asleep or stay asleep, dizziness/light headed, strange feelings in chest, arms, legs, can't relax. Mild Nausea. | My husband also took this several years ago and said he had a bad experience with it...says it just made him feel "real funny" | F | 40 | 3 days 30 mb 2X day | 4/8/2010 | 3 | Diagnosied with H1N1 | Bad dreams, night sweats, short tempered, insomnia. | Though I improved quickly I did not like the anxiousness, strange dreams and moody nature of my activites | M | 45 | 5 days 30 MG 2X day | 4/1/2010 | 1 | Flu | I had the flu for 2 weeks before taking the drug. I did improve and got out of bed. Then I started going downhill again. | I have now been diagnosed with Post Viral syndrome but my GP and a consultant will not rule out that it could have been the Tamiflu that put my system 'off kilter' It was last August I had the flu and here we are in March and they are tlking years before i might get better. I would not recommend anyone to be a guinea pig for the drugs companies, backed by government or not. | F | 50 | 5 days 30 1X day | 3/23/2010 | 1 | precaution | Horrible feeling, spacey, anxiety, stomach cramps/aches, dizzy, very short tempered. I stopped taking 2 days ago and still feel the effects. Bad drug! | M | 38 | 3 days 75mg 2X day | 3/22/2010 | 1 | daughter in contact with swine flu | My husband, myself & our 2 children, one of whom is autistic, were prescribed tamiflu in July 09. None of us had any symptoms, but were advised to take it because of suspected contact with a person who had contracted swine flu. My son, who has autism, & me have been ill ever since. We suffer ongoing severe nausea, headaches and sore throat & glands. I go to bed with a severe headache amd wake up with a severe headache. I also am always tired. I am now very depressed because i can't lead a normal, active life. | F | 40 | 7 days 1X day | 3/9/2010 | 2 | flu | after the first dose i actually felt like i was getting better but by the second dose i was experiencing severe nausea and diarrhea along w/extremely painful stomach cramping and gas...i also started to experience mouth pain/ulcers along my gumline | my husband was also put on tamiflu for the flu and he had no sideeffects whatsoever. | F | 43 | 5 days 75mg 2X day | 3/3/2010 | 1 | Positive Flu Swab | During the week that I took Tamiflu I experienced; fear of sleep, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, thoughts of suicide, nausea, difficulty breathing, severe headaches, thought about quitting my job, often wanted to scream for no reason, Things that I normally do did not interest me. I know this is not my normal behavior and I thought I would investigate, I am glad to know that I am not the only one with this problem due to this drug. Two days after taking Tamiflu I still am experiencing depression and anxiety. Do NOT take this drug unless you are dying. | M | 27 | 5 days 75MG 2X day | 3/3/2010 | 1 | FLU SYMPTOMS | CHILLS, FEVER, HAD HEAD PAINS, NO APPETITE | After taking 3 doses, my face got a rash and swelling started that has lasted almost a week now. I stopped taking the Tamiflu and the swelling got worse. I finally went to the emergency room and got a prescription for steroids to help with Benadryl. It's a slow process to reduce the swelling. I had not taken the flu shot or the H1N1 shot either. I have always refused them and have minimal colds. My mother had always had a reaction to the flu shots and thats why I refuse to take them. I trusted the prescription for me. I usually read or ask for the side effects and didn't do it this time, Will never do that again. | F | 73 | 2 days 75MG 2X day | 2/26/2010 | 3 | suspected H1N1 | Nausea, fast heartbeat, Dizzy | I got Tamiflu from the ER. Saturday I had a fever of 101, then I took Tylenol, it was brought down to 100.8, I experienced backache, muscle pain, headache, little cough, chill, nose congestion, few hours later the temperature rise to 102, I took Tylernol again, it was brought down to 101. I realized the temperature keep rising once I stop taking tylenor, Sunday nite, my temperature rise to 104F (40C). I went to ER, they prescribed Tamiflu. After the first dose, half an hour later, my temperature rise to 105F, I tried to drink plenty to fluid, and went sleep. The next day, temperature dropped to 102F. I took 2nd dose, and 12 hours later 3rd dose, the temperature still stayed between 102F and 103F. Then my doctor suggested to took tylenol at the same time, once I took tylenol, within half an hour, I started sweating, and my temperature dropped to 98F, almost back to normal, now my temperature is 97.8. and I finished taking 4th dose of Tamiflu. no backpain, no headache, no fever, no chill, but feeling nausea, stomach weird, more nose congestion. I eat piece of bread after taking Tamiflu, and feels better. I am trying to drink plenty of water after taking Tamiflu. Still have 3 more days to finish the treatment. | F | 34 | 2 days | 1/26/2010 | 1 | Flu like symptoms | Nasea, hot flashes, stomach pain, dizziness. Horrible. Used for 3 doses. I'm done. The medicine is worst than the disease it is supposed to treat. | Visited my Dr for mild flu like symptoms. He prescribed Tamiflu. | M | 39 | 2 days | 1/26/2010 | 1 | Flu/ H1N1?? dont know | hallucinations, hot flashes, dizzy. Felt like an acid trip with out the "fun" part. I went to the drs because i was coughing really bad and my asthma was acting up, they gave me a breathing treatment and i felt better...i should have left it at that. Now im fighting to keep myself from being paranoid. It may have helped with the flu symptoms, but i would have rather had the flu for 1 more day they deal with what im going through right now.. i was supposed to take pill 2 times a day for 5 days.. i have stopped with my 5th pill. i just refuse to do it any more | trip to urgent care and dr prescribed it to me as a precautionary measure | M | 28 | 2 days | 1/26/2010 | 4 | Diagnosed with flu | Very dry mouth. Like I would wake up because I felt so parched. | Got this from my PCP because I had the flu. He didn't bother to test me for h1n1 since I had gotten a flu shot and he was sure I had it. I had severe muscle aches, a sore threat, congested head and I was even vomiting the water I drank. Gave me tamiflu and by the next day I was able to eat and muscle aches reduced. | F | 33 | 5 days | 1/22/2010 |
