| 3 | flu like syptoms | So far the only side effects I have had are night terrors and a headache, and mild itching but it's only my third does, | Would not recommend taking it, it only shortens the flu by 1-2 days | M | 15 | 5 days | 11/17/2009 | 1 | Flu Type A | My 9yr old daughter started taking Tamiflu. Three days after she had to stop taking the Tamiflu because she started experiencing feeling paranoid, insomnia, agitation, nausea, aching all over, headache, joint neck and muscle pain, crying uncontrobably, feeling of something being wrong, dizzy, shakiness, disconnected, irritability, she says she feels like she is going crazy. Now has a sinus infection and fluid behind both ears on top of all of this that hasn't went away and now been fourteen days since she stopped the medicine. What kind of medicine is this, it has helped nothing and caused tons of problems. She always has been a very laid back child with straight A's now she is so unhappy from all of this going on it's like she is depressed and constantly says mommy when is this going to go away. I have no answers and no one can seem to give me any. | I contacted the FDA by email and they basically gave me the run around but said I would have to report this and gave me the website so I am going to attach it so everyone can do the same if they would like it is .

Went to urgent care that day and was on Tamiflu within 24 hours of first symptoms. Within an hour or two after taking first dose, I felt a lot better, but was still vomitting. Doctor also suscribed Zofran and that finally made the vomitting stop. Second day on dose, I felt a lot better, just a decrease in appetite. Third day, some abdominal discomfort and nausea again, but no vomitting. Fourth day had extreme abdominal discomfort and diarrhea that prevented me from sleeping. The only thing that helped was eating saltines, even the zofran did not help. It is the worst stomach pain I have ever experienced. | Even with the side effects, for me it was worth it. The extreme vomitting I had before taking it was worse than the side effects. I could not see my regular OBGYN as the office was designated a well clinic and they would not see me. I went to an urgent care clinic instead. | F | 26 | 4 days | 11/16/2009 | 2 | Flu | My 17 year old son has been on Tamiflu for 4 days and now has huge ulcers in his mouth, his gums are bleeding and he cannot eat. The temp is not gone, and he is feeling worse by the day. We are taking him off Tamiflu now and hope he will feel better in the coming couple days. | Presciption received from an after hours urgent care clinic. His temp was 104 | M | 17 | 4 days | 11/16/2009 | 1 | FLU (H1N1) | Insomnia, Hallucinations, Agitation, Nausea, Aching Skin, Head, Joint & Muscle Pains, Shortness of Breath... | Screaming, blood, guns, knives, undead, walking a plank, falling from high rise, are some of the sounds/images that were flashing though my head as I tossed and turned. After 2nd dose, I couldn't sleep and my skin hurt so bad I couldn't lay still. I assumed this happened because I hadnt eaten or slept in 2 days... Looks like it could have been Tamiflu pills. Finished prescription and am still feeling odd a week after first dose. I recommend NOT taking this medication. Regular MD Prescribed. | F | 28 | 6 days | 11/16/2009 | 1 | H1n1 | Panic attacks, anxiety, headache, insomnia, vomiting | Hospital | F | 36 | 4 days | 11/16/2009 | 5 | Suspected flu | Slight nausea | I am 33 weeks pregnant and got sick pretty quickly and the doctor called this in.. For 5 days it would have cost 96 dollars but medicaid paid for it and it was only 2. :) I feel a little icky after taking it, but that's it.. And I'm not quite as hungry but that's it. :) | F | 25 | 3 days | 11/14/2009 | 3 | H1N1 - 3 yr old | Took away all symptoms of the flu with in a few doses! Worked great. Made my 3 year old a little irritable at times and sleepless. Finally got her asleep at 12pm tonight. The Pros defiantly out weighed the cons. | F | 3 | 3 days | 11/14/2009 | 2 | Influenza A | Our 2.5 yr old son was taking it after getting the flu. He had sudden high fever (we fought fever from M-TH). Our family dr. couldn't get him in, so we took him to Statcare. He had NO OTHER SYMPTOMS, other than the high fever & body aches & pains. This is a kid that isn't really exposed to germs on a regular basis, other than sick family members. He hasn't ever been sick, always healthy, & wasn't even a fussy kid when teething. Within 2 hours of dosing him with the tamiflu, he threw up. He had vomited or was nauseous after every dose. He had 4 doses total and I will NOT dose him a 5th time. The side effects outweigh the relief of symptoms. It's hard to tell if he was suffering from any other side effects--because he's 2, never been sick before, and I don't know what to expect from him "being sick"--but I would say the nausea & vomiting were the worst of it. I AM glad he was seen by a doctor. His lungs were clear & his ears looked good. And I AM gla | My opinion is to research, ask questions, find out your options, and make an informed decision BEFORE you take anything...for anything. ~~Good luck and God bless~~ prescription from dr. at urgent care clinic | M | 2 | 2 days | 11/14/2009 | 1 | Toddler with Swine flu | After I gave my 19 month old the first dose she became cranky and inconsolable. She wouldn't eat and didn't take her routine nap. The next day the same thing except that she was now dizzy on top of the other side effects. She fell every time I put her down and screamed to be held. She clutched on to me like she was afraid of falling. I stopped giving in to her and now 2 days after stopping is still cranky but is eating and is walking again. | a pediatrician other than my daughter's prescribed it to her. | F | 1 | 2 days | 11/14/2009 | 1 | flu like symptoms | On the med. my 4 year old daughters stomach hurt. She finished the med. but the next day became a different child. She is worried, paranoid and cries alot. I do not have the same daughter as I had before. It is very scary and she has been off the drug for 5 weeks. Never take it ever. | reg. dr. | F | 4 | 5 days | 11/14/2009 | 1 | 4 yr old had flu symptoms | I only gave my daughter one dose this afternoon, and she couldnt even stand the taste of it even though it was bubblegum flavored. About a half hour later she threw up excessively. It is now about 3 and a half hours since that dose and she has thrown up 3 additional times, not as much. She seems to have dry mouth and a bad taste in her mouth. She also said her stomach hurts. If she continues to throw up I will take her to ER. I'm not giving her anymore Tamiflu. | Her doctor prescribed over phone. | F | 29 | 1 days | 11/13/2009 | 3 | Swine Flu | No Sleep!!! I have tried to sleep for 3 hours with no luck. The drug really lessened my severe symptoms but I am not so sure how I feel about not sleeping. | M | 21 | 3 days | 11/12/2009 | 3 | Exposed to H1N1 and pregnant | I understand that pregnancy hormones can effect emotions but this is crazy. I can't stop crying! | Prescribed by obgyn. I have had no symptoms of the flu as of yet but the bouts of crying are horrible and weird. If I wasn't living with someone with H1N1 I would NOT be taking this drug! | F | 32 | 4 days | 11/12/2009 | 2 | H1N1 | I became dizzy at first. Light headed too. Then a major headache...I stopped taking Tamiflu two weeks ago and I still am getting headaches. It's crazy...I also feel like I have limited energy and the front of my head wants to explode !!! When will the headache stop? | Regular Doctor prescribed the meds. | F | 50 | 5 days | 11/12/2009 | 1 | h1n1 | my child | F | 4 | 3 days | 11/12/2009 | 1 | flu symptoms | nausea, lighted-headed (really weird feeling like in lala land), trouble sleeping, ear infection, eye infection, nose bleed | received tamiflu after calling telehealth and advised to go to doctors. Felt worse after taking each pill. Was light headed and felt like i was in lala land. Could not get out of bed. Within 15 minutes of taking 3rd pill, my ear became blocked and couldn't hear out of it, intense pressure in right ear (throbbing) painful, stood up and had nose bleed (never get nose bleeds). Called telehealth again - they advised to see dr before i take next dose. Doctor took me off Tamiflu and put me on apo-amoxi clav 875-125 bc i had ear infection. By the time i arrived home my left eye has been discharging oddles and oddles of pus. Called telehealth again. Advised to go back to dr for antibiotic for eye infection. I rarely take antibiotics. WOULD NEVER TAKE TAMIFLU AGAIN. WOULD NEVER GET THE H1N1 SHOT EITHER. Good old chicken soup and tyelnol is the best. Better off suffering through the flu than taking Tamiflu. Telehealth was great though. | F | 48 | 3 times | 11/12/2009 | 1 | Flu (Possibly H1N1) | Nausea, Extreme stomach discomfort, shakiness, insomnia, loss of appetite and vomiting. | I got this medication from my doctor because I was in the "high risk." The first two days taking it it seemed to help, but the next day was a living hell. The night prior I woke up with a really bad stomach ache. I rushed to the bathroom and vomited. For the rest of the night I tossed and turned with insomnia. The next day I would spend moaning in pain dry heaving and not being able to keep any food down. The negatives HIGHLY outweigh the positives with this medication. Not Recommended. | M | 17 | 3 days | 11/12/2009 | 1 | exposure to swine flu | Not many symptoms while taking the medication . . . a little dizzy but that could have been the swine flu itself. However, I have been off it for about a week now and I am suffering from insomnia, nightmares, and soreness in my arms and legs. | Fixed my symptoms quickly, but definitely not worth it. Tamiflu does something to your brain man. Mine won't shut off to sleep, it's awful. Thera-flu is a heck of alot cheaper and safer, who cares if the virus lasts a day or two longer as long as its under control... | M | 20 | 5 days | 11/12/2009 |
