| 1 | prevent flu | My husband took the pill for 2 1/2 days..I hope he recovers from his loss of memory and his dry mouth feeling..Awful drug.My husband is in end satge lung disease and this was supposed to be preventative..OMG please pray for him | Prescribed by infectious disease Dr.for preventive purpose | M | 69 | 2 days | 1/22/2010 | 1 | flu symptoms | My husband was delirious..Not knowing who he was or what to do.. He has lung disease and the Dr said to use if he got the flu symptoms..It was scary how he was acting..He would rather be sick then take this again | Dr Prescribed during a visit | M | 69 | 3 days | 1/22/2010 | 4 | flu | I had a very dry, sore throat when wake up for almost 1-1/2 weeks, weird dreams and possible mild depression. Overall, I thought the symptoms were from the flu so worth it in my opinion. | Prescribed by regular dr along with anti-inflammatory shot. My flu symptoms were 90% better within 24 hours of first dose. Day I started taking Tamiflu was also first night of rest in 48 hours since beginning of flu symptoms. Overall, it was amazing and worth the side effects. NEVER lost my appetite, if anything appetite picked up even more and I was garbage disposal. Not good for a Type II diabetic, lol. | F | 38 | 5 days | 1/21/2010 | 3 | slight flu | Bad dreams, night sweats (BAD!!!), hallucinations, short tempered. | Got from urgent care clinic, thought i simply had a sinus infection, but was diagnosed with slight flu. i was given Tamiflu and Leviquin. Bad combination. They work but the side effects are just to much. I think with regular antibiotics(amoxicillian) this would not have been such a bad ride. Never again. | M | 32 | 5 days | 1/21/2010 | 1 | Exposed to H1N1 | lack of appetite, hallucinations, cold sweats, extreme pressure in forehead, shaking, blackouts, electrical feelings or "buzzing" in the body, dizzy/blurry dream like vision, driving to work and not remembering the drive extreme anxiety, numbness and tingling, hands arms feet and face, blackouts with bright white light and inability to sleep and vertigo. Extreme lack of energy, joint pain and muscle fatigue. Many little tasks seem overwhelming. Lots of stomach problems, gassy, cramping, reflux. It has been 4 months now and I am still battling many of these side effects. I am also sure there are more that I am just forgetting right now. | Regular doctor. | M | 31 | 10 days | 1/19/2010 | 1 | Influenza Type A | Horrible, heard voices, lights, sweed a lot, fear of sleep, nightmares about dying, fever went down and he is feeling better but after 3 days of Tamilflu, we will discontinue this extremely potent drug. | My husband was diagnosed with Influenza type A and doctor prescribed Tamifu without explaining about this horrible side effects. He was afraid of going to sleep, he felt dizziness, confusion, hands numb. I feel so guilty because I gave him this drug. He won't take it anymore... | F | 32 | 3 days | 1/16/2010 | 2 | Diagnosed with Flu | Headaches, dizziness, anxiety, paranoia, stomarch cramps, nausea, restlessness. | I was diagnosed with flu over the phone by UK NHS National Flu Pandemic Service, even though I am not entirely sure if I had swine flu, flu, or just a bad cold. Whatever it was I have had worse in the past. I was given a tamiflu 5 day course, and told to rest drink plenty of fluids etc. My flu symptoms (bad cough, temperature & sore throat)have got better.....but maybe they would have done anyway??? The side effects came on gradually and were generally worse during the evening / night time, and last night was particularly bad. I usually do try and finish a course of meds I have been given but this time reluctantly I have decided to stop taking this drug on the basis that my flu symptoms are now better, and I am now more worried about the potential side effects of this drug, than the actual flu itself. And reading the comments on this page it appears I am far from alone in what I have experienced! Politically I think the UK government is culpable of gross incompetence and neglect in handing out this expensive, largely ineffective, and potentially dangerous drug like sweats to anyone who calls the flu line and gives a few vague symptoms. The current UK labour government is always making rash & ill thought decisions and I think this is a classic example. They decided to stock pile this drug, hand it out to anyone and everyone( when in reality it needs to be used very selectively) as a knee jerk reaction, so as to be seen to be doing something about the swine flu pan | M | 43 | 3 days | 1/15/2010 | 1 | Yes | Emotional mood swing 15 mins after taking. This would settle after an hour or so into a feeling of well being for a couple of hours then Anxiety, rapid heart beat (100+...difficult to count), Audible & Visual Hallucinations, Insomnia (sleept 2hrs a night for 3 nights), more mood swings, dizzyness, buzzy head, spacey. Lasting for 10 hrs. 3 weeks later I am still experiencing hallucinations and what I can only describe as "tamiflu weirdness". | Diagnosed on NHS Flu online service with Flu or Swine Flu. 1 x 75mg every 12 hrs. I took 7 tablets and couldn't take any more. Wouldn't recommend to worst enemy. Horrific. I didn't have flu or swine flu - i had an as yet undiagnosed disease from a bite (possible Lyme) | M | 50 | 3.5 days | 1/15/2010 | 1 | advised by the specialist | bad dreams, anxiety, depression, tired, vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea | I think the specialist doctors should consider carefully the necessity of administering this drug and advise the parents and patients carefully the possible side effects of taking this. I feel very bad that my doctor had not done so. I feel guilty that I have not been aware of the side effects and allow my daughter to take it. | F | 13 | 5 days | 1/14/2010 | 1 | H1N1 | started to menstruate. Severe trigeminal neuralgia. Increased heart rate. | swine flu hotline | F | 47 | 2 days | 1/14/2010 | 3 | Swine flu | Depression, dizziness, bad dreams, behavioral changes including increased agitation and confusion, feeling of going to die. High heart rate > 100 all the time but I'm not sure if it is a side effect of Tamiflu. It may be because of the flu. These side effects start disappearing once I finish the treatment but not suddenly. Even after 2 weeks after the treatment was finished I had strange mood changes usually in the evenings when I was tired. I'm giving the medicine 3 because it is great in doing what is suppose to do (treat the flu), but the side effects are horrible. | Tamiflu was prescribed by urgent care doctor because the fever persisted for few days. It was around 102 when she decided to gave me this medicine. | M | 31 | 5 days | 1/12/2010 | 1 | the flu | nausea, vomiting,depression, severe halusination,bad dreams,fear and anger. I knew something was wrong with me. | I went to the Urgent Care where a physicians assistant asured me this drug is safe and has been taken by thousand of people.After taking it my symtoms got worse and I had such bad dreams that I was afraid to go to sleep.I hd thoughts of dying and am usually a cheerful and happy person.Please do never take this drug. | F | 45 | 4 days | 1/10/2010 | 5 | prevention of flu after exposure | i experienced NO SIDE EFFECTS. though due to the outlandish things posted on this site, i almost did not take it. however after hearing of a patient in his 20s (i am in my 30s) who died last week from complications of the flu, i thought it was worth whatever side effects came. thankfully, i have had none whatsoever. i am taking 75mg once daily. my 4 year old daughter is taking 30mg oral suspension once daily and she has complained of a stomach ache off and on but has eaten and played normally. | F | 32 | 10 days | 1/7/2010 | 2 | Flu - Not H1N1 | Nausea, diarrhea, confusion, emotional mood swings, body numbness | I went to an urgent care clinic after having the first signs of the flu. High fever, body aches, congestion, etc. The doctor tested me for the flu, but said it came back negative. However, she reccomended I take Tamiflu because not all types of flu show up on a test and I most likely had the flu. I only took Tamiflu for three days before I started noticing it made me dry heave, have very bad diarrhea, my hands would start to tingle/go numb and I would have emotional mood swings. It made me paranoid and feel like I was going to die. I literally laid in bed for three days crying. Once I stopped taking the pills my fever went down and I was able to get up and walk around. | F | 29 | 3 days | 1/7/2010 | 1 | flu symptoms | anxiety (not normal) and irritability (sometimes normal :^)) | F | 49 | 2 days | 1/7/2010 | 1 | flu | nausea vomiting, and severe stomach pains | Got it for my son (16 1/2) at his pediatrician. Would not recommend it and will not take it again | M | 16 | 2 days | 1/7/2010 | 1 | H1N1 | My 11 year old daughter was given the tamiflu for H1N1 in October, 2009. Shortly after each dose, she would experience severe dizziness. She did not have a high fever that would cause the dizziness. I called the drs. office and they recommended to keep taking the medication. Her dizziness continued. Since she has been off the medication, over 2 months, she has been experiencing dizziness, audio hallucinations and a ton of anxiety. We have been to her pediatrician, ENT twice, CT scan, Neurologist twice and now psychologist! I am so upset this horrific drug has caused all this!! Does anyone have similar symptoms or can help us. No one seems to know what to do, since this drug hasn't been given to children in these high numbers until this Swine Flu Scare! | Horrible fall out from this horrible drug! It needs to be taken off the market! We have been to several drs. and specialists! This drug has caused dizziness, anxiety and hallucinations and its been over 2 months since taking the drug. Please help if anyone has any helpful information! | F | 11 | 5 days | 1/1/2010 | 1 | H1N1 | Tolerated first dose fine and fever almost immediately was reduced. Had mild nausea and feelings of gas, but tolerable. Second dose was also tolerated with same symptoms, however, after third dose I had severe gas pains in chest and constant rumblings in stomach. Only slept 2 hours in last 24 and now feeling depressed, sad, and burst out crying for no reason. I will discontinue taking this medication immediately. | prescribed by doctor | F | 59 | 3 days | 1/1/2010 | 3 | Flu | I normally don't have any side effects from medications...not the case with Tamiflu. I have had vivid, strange dreams since taking. Also, nausea for a couple hours after taking. I have no appetite, but that may still be caused from the flu symptoms...not sure. | I am pregnant and came down with some form of the flu, not sure if it's H1N1 yet. But couldn't keep anything down and fever was not being controlled by meds, so doctor admitted me for fluids and I had my first dose of Tamiflu in hospital and have continued at home. | F | 26 | 10 days | 12/31/2009 | 1 | swine flu | me and my little boy took tamilflu, after 3 days I starting notice that my little boy couldnt not sleep and he was getting and still be till this day very hyppier what or wich concer me so much and I end up in emergency with my heart racing 120 per minute staied for 2 days in intensive care, till this day still going to hospital to do my heart checking up , I was very fit doing exercising 3 times a week and I teached aerbocis myself cant do anymore because of my panics attacks and I feel myself always anxious , still cant sleep I am always crying and scared that something bad will happen to me and my kids , feel very suicidal, I never had does sympotms ever before I just worried if this ever will go away, my heart still goes faster as before , my son behaviour still very much concern me , if I new that tamiflu would change my life and my little son as did I would rather endure the swine flu simpotms than taking it or giving to my child i am so angry tha | F | 42 | 7 days | 12/28/2009 |
