I have no spleen so was at huge risk, yet told to stay at home and when phoning hospital and doctors with symptoms, no one phoned back! Do not take this, ignore your GP and go to your local ER if you have symptoms you don't think are swine flu!! | F | 49 | 4 days | 11/21/2009 | 3 | H1N1 | Diarrhea for myself. Irritated stomach and occasional vomiting for my partner. | My partner and I both developed sypmtoms and thought we just had very bad colds. We went to a hospital overflow clinic for people with flu symptoms and were checked my a doctor. He exammed us and determined that he felt we had h1n1. Given our condition he thought it was best to give us tamiflu as we live in a remote place and it would have taken up to a week to get results back. I had been violently coughing non-stop and after taking two doses of tamiflu the coughing minamilized greatly. My partner seemed to recover in the five day period we were talking the medication which was surprising given he had it for at least four days prior to recieving medication. By day all my aches and pains went away but I still have a cough. Although it is not as awful and constant as the cough I initially had, I am not happy that even after taking that medication I am not completely back to normal. | F | 26 | 5 days | 11/20/2009 | 3 | Influenza A positive | Cough more with yellowish mucus and chest pain. hard to sleep on the second night. However, after take the Vitamin and Calcim/Magnesim/Zinc, can sleep and don't feel chest pain. Take with food. Therefore, no stomach upset. | My child 4 year old. He was fever up 104 degree and tested with Flu A which is 80%-90% H1N1 in San Jose, CA according to ER doctor. He was on Tamiflu for full course(only 4 days for same dose of five days due to Rite Aide mixing errors). It droped next day. He sleeped well at that time. However, he still have coughing with mucus after a week. I got the flu from him and also has fever up to 102 and tested positive. After this pill, the fever drop in second day. However, I start to cough with yellowish mucus and some chest pain. I can't sleep in second night. After taken viatamin and minerals, I can sleep and less cough and no chest pain. Maybe this pills get rid of too much viatamin and minerals in our bodies. I feel better now. I probably will stop this pill today. | F | 38 | 3 days | 11/20/2009 | 2 | H1N1 | My 10 year old daughter was given it due to H1N1. She had a 104.5 fever and after taking the medication, the fever did go down but a low grade one lingered. She is experiencing confusion, feeling very down and doesn't want to leave the house, and have four ulcers in her mouth. I wish I hadn't given her the medication. | We got the prescription from the after hours clinic in Marin County, CA. | F | 10 | 5 days | 11/20/2009 | 1 | My wife had the swine flu and took | A couple hours after taking this, I violently started shaking, Paranoia, my joints were so sore to the point where I couldn't stand up, I puked my guts out, and I couldn't breath right at all. What a crock this medicine is. Not only that, it cost 115.00 dollars and theres no generic for it. Could that be because Donald Rumsfeld owns 18 billion in stock in this company? I was feeling fine before I took this. My doctor said don't take any more of it | My regular Doctor suggested me taking this as a precaution | M | 51 | 1 days | 11/20/2009 | 1 | Had a fever of 38.8, and cough. - | A few hours after taking the first pill, i started to feel sick with stomach cramps and thought i was going to throw up. The pains got stronger and i decided to go upstairs and lie down. Next thing I remembered, i was on the floor half way down the stairs. As soon as I woke up, I could not speak.I tried to get up but passed out again. My daughter heard me fall down and found me lifeless and staring at the cealing. She could not get any response from me and called the ambulance. By the time I came through, I was sweating and breathing very heavily. Fever did suddenly drop from 38.8 to 37.6 | i got the medication after visiting the urgent care clinic. | F | 48 | 1 times | 11/20/2009 | 5 | had swine flu symptoms. | Within a few hours of taking it I felt so much better. I was so sick I really thought I would die. My husband had to carry me to the bathroom and even clean me because I was sooo sick. I barely remember him putting the pill in my mouth, but felt so much better within just a few hours. It makes me a little dizzy and lightheaded, but nothing awful. I have also lost my appetite a bit, but still manage three meals a day.I am experiencing insomnia, but at least I don't feel like I'm going to die. I would recomend it. | I got the prescription after visiting ER twice. | F | 33 | 5 days | 11/19/2009 | 5 | 3rd tri pregnant w/ suspected h1n1 | I'm on my third dose and as of yet have had no side effects | I had been vaccinated for h1n1 four days prior to getting an upper respiratory illness -- coughing but no fever initially -- didn't realize the vax took 10 days to take effect --three days later I developed a fever, extreme body aches and fatigue. I called my OB to report the change and she called in a prescription for Tamiflu. After a single dose my lungs cleared and my fever disappeared. | F | 38 | 3 days | 11/19/2009 | 3 | H1N1 | Nausea, Loss of appetite, extreme dizziness, coma-like sleep | Tamiflu was a prescription via an ER visit for a 102 fever. The first day it made me vomit a few times, but come the second and third day the fever was gone. But on the 4th day after taking the pill in the AM, I got extremely dizzy while driving and had to pull over. The dizzy spells come and go but they're incredibly intense, I'm afraid to drive. I can't finish taking the last day of the prescription because I drive for work and can't risk getting in an accident. I'd take this medication to lower your fever and to get rid of the risk of being contagious, but not for the full 5 days. | F | 22 | 4 days | 11/19/2009 | 2 | Flu | After first dose, threw up violently all night despite eating something as recommended. Spent next 48 hours sleeping and hardly eating. Physical side effects included nausea, headache, tiredness. Did not anticipate psychological side effects including agitation, worry, anxiety, tearfulness, sadness and generally feeling out of sorts. Not recommended but felt like I had to finish course. | Was given tamiflu after ringing national helpline and doing over the phone assessment. Think I did have flu but not sure it was Swine Flu. | F | 42 | 4 days | 11/19/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | extreme sweating, jittery, severe diarrhea, nausua and sharp stomach pain, insomnia....a superman feeling after taking the first two doses...fever never dropped(only after taking tylenol) after a third dose adverse sensations abdominally. I did not take the two pills per day as perscribed...I only took one per day...as I did not like the initial super hero feeling...a feeling of being high. quit taking--decided that a cough and fever was better than the side effects...DOC and PHARMACY, documents inside drug package never warned of side effects. | visited regular Doc, prescribed after being diagnosed, had been exposed to H1N1 in my workplace where no protective measures were being taken | F | 42 | 3 days | 11/19/2009 | 4 | H1N1 Symptoms | I gave it to my 15 month old after fevers up to 104.7, never below 102, cough, runny nose. "grumpiness". He slept constantly 20 out of 24 hours. Cried when awake. Diarrhea come day 2 of tamiflu. Nothing horrible like some of these posts say. He now has a rash over most of his body. So we are giving benadryl w/tamiflu. rash could be from the HIGH temps too. I am pleased and would give again if I had to. NO more sick baby!!! | M | 1 | 5 days | 11/18/2009 | 1 | fever 101.2 and head ache | my 12year old daughter was prescribed tamiflu by her doctor for fever 101.2 and headache.(flu like symptoms). After day 3 her glands behind her ears were swollen and painful, called advise nurse and they said it was just from her body fighting whatever she had and to continue with tamiflu, after the next dose the swelling increased and she had big lymph nodes and pain getting worse. Had the doctor check her again next day.He said, She developed Parotid glands(mumps) and he advised to stop tamiflu.Swelling seemed to stop after tamiflu was stoped and it is day 3 after tamiflu has been stopped, and her nodes have not gone down yet, she missed a week of school and couldn't do anything ,doctor said will take time for it to go away. She still is in pain but subsiding and cannot move her head freely. I do not recomend tamiflu. | regular doctor | F | 12 | 4 days | 11/18/2009 | 1 | Early Flu Symptoms | Took first dose on an empty stomach (not smart with any meds) and within a half hour was violently vomiting. Decided not to take two doses in one day in fear of getting deathly ill. Felt better after about the first 2 or 3 hours. Trouble sleeping that night. Next day decided to try it again with food in my stomach, same thing, vomited for a few hours but then felt better. Again, decided not to take the recommended two pills a day. So the next day I decided I would hold off to see how I would feel without it and my chest cold and what not came right back so I took a dose and again, within about a half hour I was more ill than I had ever been from the flu or even the tamiflu. I would never take this medicine again because it is just too harsh on my body. It did take my flu symptoms away after the two or three hours of being violently ill. Definitely not worth the trade off at this point. Lost way to much weight from not being able to keep food down! Use with caution and make sur | Emergency room DR | F | 18 | 3 times | 11/18/2009 | 5 | Probable H1N1 | Great at combatting flu symptoms. Hard on the stomach - to be expected. What I did not expect was sleeplessness. Go to bed at 10:30 & dont fall asleep until 4! Seem a little more worried, but probably because I have so much time to lay there & think! | My 12 yo son & I both took it & it remarkably reduced symptoms very quickly. Two more days of taking it - I dont sleep, but I am not that tired during the day or as hungry, so who knows, this may be a weightloss drug!! Dr. office. | M | 42 | 3 days | 11/17/2009 | 3 | H1N1 | NOSE BLEEDS, couldnt eat, couldnt sleep | got it from an urgent care dr.....the initial symptoms went away quite quickly but in 5 days i had 4 nose bleeds and in the two weeks its been since treatment i've had 4 more nose bleeds. I've never had this many nose bleeds like this ever. Also I have been really congested, I can't seem to get rid of my congestion no matter what I do. UGH!! | F | 23 | 5 days | 11/17/2009 |
