| 2 | suspected swine flu | Vomited 1.5 hours after first dose. Flu symptoms improved dramatically the next day. No vomiting after further doses, but horrible moodiness, crying, irrational behaviour, nighttime waking (though this MAY have been due to the flu itself?). | It was unclear whether our son should finish the full course of tamiflu, like you would have to do with antibiotics, so we kept on in the face of awful behavioural/personality changes in our son. We will now stop the drug immediately as the flu symptoms are nearly gone, and the alternative changes have been very scary. | M | 3 | 4 days | 12/4/2009 | 2 | Swineflu | Felt like i was in a comma like sleep all the time while i was taking it. Felt like it was making me feel worse. Stopped taking it after the 5th tablet and felt a lot better. My son in law felt the exact same as me and stopped after the 6th tablet. | M | 39 | 3 days | 12/4/2009 | 1 | I had flu symptoms; to prevent H1N1 | My 18 yr. old son was diagnosed with H1N1 and took Tamiflu with great results. He's one of the lucky few. Two days later, I began to have symptoms like his (fever, sore throat, cough) so my Dr. prescribed it for me as preventive. After the first dose, I felt light headed, dizzy, but thought it was part of my flu symptoms, as I'm never sick and didn't know what to expect. So, I took it again 12 hours later as prescribed. At 3AM I awoke, feeling very dizzy and disoriented. I couldn't tell if I was hot with fever or cold. I began to hallucinate and panic, like an out-of-body experience, my heart was racing and I thought I needed to go to the Emergency Dept. I woke my spouse and alerted him to my situation. After talking with him and taking homeopathic Rescue Remedy I began to calm down and could rest after about an hour. I stopped taking Tamiflu completely. Felt so dizzy for the next two days. I will NEVER take Tamiflu again. I have spoken with several people who also experienced | I called my doctor for prescription after my son was diagnosed w/H1N1 and I began to have the same symptoms as him. | F | 54 | 1 days | 12/4/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | feeling paranoid, insomnia, agitation, nausea, can't eat, feeling of going to die, shakiness, disconnected, irritability, feels like going crazy. | Got med from Urgent Care. | F | 44 | 8 days | 12/4/2009 | 3 | Flu symptoms | My 8 month old daughter was prescribed this to take for 5 days. She will not eat with this medicane and she sleeps all the time. But when she is awake she still has her normal energy level. | Her pediatrician prescribed this. | F | 0 | 5 days | 12/3/2009 | 1 | seasonal flu | After day 2 I started having uncontrollable crying, delusional thoughts that I had ruined my life (I am never this way), thoughts that the world would be better off with out me, depression, paranoia, irritablity and hopelessness. I immediately stopped taking Tamiflu as I knew deep down this was not typical of me and I was worried what 1 more dose would do to me. I will NEVER take Tamiflu again unless it is a life or death situation and demand to be put on 24 hour supervision. The symptoms all cleared up by the next afternoon. | F | 29 | 2 days | 12/1/2009 | 5 | Suspected Swine Flu | No side effects at all. Severity of flu symptoms greatly reduced. I am allergic to penicillin and often have side effects from drugs (especially nausea) but had none at all with this drug. I took it with a small meal as recommended. | F | 32 | 5 days | 11/30/2009 | 4 | H1N1 | Nausea, vomiting | Started taking Tamiflu ~6 hours after I started getting flu symptoms. Took away my fever, chills, body soreness right away.. The nausea/vomiting has been occuring 2 hours after taking the pill like clockwork. Even with food. Have been on for 3 days and not sure if I will finish out the course. | F | 25 | 3 days | 11/30/2009 | 1 | my son was diagnosed w/h1n2 | My son started feeling sick on the 27th of Oct at 3am when he began vomiting every two hours... almost like clockwork. He had a 102.5 fever and liquid stools. I called his pediatrician the next morning to get him an appointment, they said to bring him down as soon as possible. We did that and they diagnosed him with the h1n1 virus and strep throat. The prescribed him tamiflu and amoxicillin. Both in pill form. He is 8 and had trouble swallowing the pills and would throw them right up. I had to call the doctor's office back up and the pharmacy and finally was able to get the amoxicillin in liquid form... the tamiflu they said to open the capsule and mix it with applesauce or pudding... now I don't imagine either one of those being easy on a stomach when vomiting is present. But I did it. Two weeks went by and he'd finished both medicines and was still feeling the same minus the vomiting. I called the office and they said give it a few more days and if there is no improvement to | information on his gender and age | M | 8 | 10 days | 11/30/2009 | 1 | Flu | severe vomiting after first dose, heart racing, loss of appetite, CAN NOT SLEEP!!!! paranoia | Urgent care visit | F | 32 | 3 days | 11/28/2009 | 1 | Hospital Suspected Swine Fever | Extreme panic, thought I would die. Tried to get out of the hospital. Crying uncontrollable. Diarrhea. Tests proved negative I had pneumonia. Months later still ill, many different symptoms, Painful Mouth problems, stomach problems, persistent diarrhea, depression, still receiving treatment. Don't take this medicine, not enough is known about it, I did not have the choice whilst in hospital, and have no idea about the cocktail of anti biotic given along with Tamiflu. | Urgent emergency admission to hospital, although it was known that I had pneumonia I was isolated and treated for Swine Fever the tests for which were negative I then went on to receive the correct treatment for pneumonia.I think that I was given Tamiflu over a 5 day period of a three week stay in hospital. | F | 65 | 5 days | 11/28/2009 | 1 | Flu | I got tamiflu from my doctor. He was so excited about it because it was provided by the government, which means it's cheaper for those who CHOOSE not to have health insurance. The day after I started taking it my throat was extremely sore. I woke up unable to breathe through out the night! I thought it was just my flu at first. Then on the second day I broke out with a rash all over my body. It felt as though my skin was on fire. I would have been better off alternating between Dayquil and Nyquil!!!!!!!!!! | F | 23 | 3 days | 11/27/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | I almost lost my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if my sister in law and my brother did not come by and check up on me, I would not be typing this right now. I woke up I was in the hospital, I had gotten a Seizure and fainted, my mouth was shut and I had no pulse it took 3 people to bring me back to life and the hospital and the worst part is that my doctor didnt even tell me about the side effects of this medication. DONT TAKE TAMIFLU YOU CAN DIE!!!!!!!!!!!! this needs to stop now!!!!!!!! | F | 28 | 4 days | 11/27/2009 | 1 | Preventative, my daughter had flu | My throat swelled and it became real hard to swallow. I also had a very hard time breathing. I thought it was because of the flu and my asthma but when it happened the next day about the same time I figured out it was a reaction to the TamiFlu. I took benedril and went to the doctor. He gave me a steroid shot and told me to stop taking it. I stayed on the benedril and threw away the Tamiflu. I did not experience the swelling the next day. My throat and chest are just sore and irritated. | I got the tamiflu from my doctor. I just want others to know throat swelling is a side affect if you are allergic and keep the benedril handy. I only took one tablet at night for 2 days and the throat swelling happend about 10 the next morning. I take an allergy pill every night and decided that probably helped the allergic response to the Tamiflu. | F | 50 | 2 days | 11/26/2009 | 1 | H1N1 hospital | vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, agitation, anxiety, stomach cramps, horrible panic attacks | I was prescribed tamiflu in the hospital H1N1 positive. I was ok for the first 3 days and after that I began having awful side effects. My doctor prescribed zofran for the vomting which helped, but this med was not worth taking. I had severe anxiety as well. Not a pleasant expereience! | F | 36 | 5 days | 11/25/2009 | 1 | h1n1 | The side effects are not worth it unless you're dying! nausea, very bad stomach cramps, nosebleeds, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, racing thoughts, agitation, anxiety, could not sleep/focus. state of panic...(i'm an otherwise healthy counselor with a full time job and children) these side effects occurred by the 3rd day. i do not recommend this drug. If you're experiencing these symptoms don't worry you're not alone or going crazy! | F | 30 | 5 days | 11/25/2009 | 3 | Flu - Unspecified (respiratory) | I started having a menstrual period within 30 min. of taking the first dose. I was not due for one, and it was a bit lighter than a normal one with no cramps. It's starting to ease up now that I finished the final dose. I also had diarrhea start up, don't know if that was from the flu or the medicine. I still have it. My fever broke after a day on the Tamiflu, but coughing and wheezing continued and I am still needing asthma inhalers, although no longer taking the cheratussin. Most noticeable was an intense fear and anxiety that I was going to die. It's so bad that I keep crying like a baby. I do have PTSD and have medicine I can take for anxiety, but it's not helping with this level of fear. It hasn't gotten better yet and I'm afraid to go out. So, my results with this medicine were mixed with bad side effects. | Visited my regular doctor. | F | 50 | 5 days | 11/24/2009 | 1 | Flu | Constant and extreme nausea and vomiting; upset bowels, very severe headache; very weak; spacey and fuzzy feeling; couldn't go to sleep or stay asleep; filled with panic. Stopped after six pills. Felt worse with each successive dose. Would never recommend this medicine; it's much worse than enduring the flu. | Live in the mountains, sixty miles from my doctor. He phoned in RX after telephone consultation. | F | 71 | 3 days | 11/24/2009 | 1 | To prevent the flu! | headache, chest pain, tingling hands, anxiety,dizziness | Dr. gave me this med. to prevent me from getting the flu after gall bladder surgery. Wow! This stuff is pure poison. I feel aweful. My chest hurts anxiety through the roof. I can't believe they give this to anyone yet alone children. I would have rather had the flu! | M | 38 | 2 days | 11/24/2009 | 3 | H1N1 | Insomnia, Agitation, Nausea, Aching Skin, Head, Joint & Muscle Pains, Shortness of Breath, Extreme dizziness and nausea. Sensitivity to the skin at my stomach and lower back. | Was prescribed by ER doctor after testing positive for Influenza A type H1N1. I decided to stop to take the Tami Flu, because of the side effects.! The extreme Dizziness and headache was killing. it started about 20 minutes after a took the Tami Flu drugs. | M | 29 | 2 days | 11/22/2009 |
