| 5 | H1N1 | No side effects noticed | 5 month old baby diagnosed with H1N1. Because she is high risk (was very ill when born) we started her on tamiflu immediately. After two doses her fever broke and she has been feeling better since. What a relief. I was TERRIFIED to give it to her ater reding the other side effects people noted but she is prone to pnuemonia so we could not chance letting her already weak body fight the flu alone. | F | 0 | 5 days | 11/8/2009 | 5 | H1N1 | None whatsoever! | 9 yr old daughter taking tamiflu for H1N1. No side effects at all. I was very apprehensive ot let her take it after reading these posts, but also felt many of the the posts refected side effectsthat seem to be more related to the flu itself. | F | 28 | 5 days | 11/8/2009 | 2 | suspected swine flu | I suffered extreme vomiting couldn't even hold down water, making it impossible for me to take any other medication to help with aches and pains or help bring down my temperature. i have decided to discontinue use and fight the flu the old fashioned way. | I was subscribed it via emergency line after suffering very high temperature and extreme shivers for 2 days | F | 44 | 2 days | 11/8/2009 | 2 | preventative | serious dizziness (bedspins on night 7). difficulty sleeping. increased temp (low grade fever). feeling of general unease. | received the tamiflu due to working with an at risk population. | F | 35 | 8 days | 11/8/2009 | 1 | flu symptoms | Took Tamiflu for 2 days. Stopped yesterday. Dizzy the entire time. Tonight, I am experiencing sudden numbness on my right side of face with sudden onset of delerium, anxiety and generall feelng of lack of control. Hives on neck first day of dose. These horrible symptoms (taking no other medicines and tested negative for flu)are what made me google for side effect and I came upon this website. Terrible headache and chest pain landed me in the ER 24 hours after taking Tamiflu. The ER visit and the tests they gave me (cardiac markers & flu) all showed negative. Basically, I think I had a cold and the Dr prescribing Tamifly was over zealous in prescribing same. I would not take Tamiflu again. I'm fearful how long these side effects will last now that I have stopped taking it. | F | 46 | 2 days | 11/8/2009 | 1 | flu symptoms | Me and my 16 month old son were given Tamiflu because we both had flu symptoms. I started my son on it Tuesday night through Saturday. Every night he was up most of the night crying, and everyday he was not the child that I knew to be mine. He cried and whined all day and wanted me to hold him constantly. Even my sister and parents who believe that my child can do no wrong said they couldn't believe how he was acting. I told his doctor about the change of behaviour, but she didn't seem to think it was a big deal even though she herself said that he wasn't happy as he was at the begining of the week when she had seen him. It wasn't the flu that caused him to act this way. He had a fever of 104.6 BEFORE starting the Tamiflu and was running around playing happy as always. The week my child was on Tamiflu was the most exausting week of my life. I wish I had reasearched it better before giving it to him. Once I got on the Tamiflu website and saw the side affect of behavior change I stopped | My OBGYN called in the perscription over the phone. And my son's pediatrition gave us the prescription for him. | F | 31 | 3 days | 11/8/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | Two-year-old daughter had severe vomiting within 30 minutes of first dose. | Got prescription in urgent care clinic, but this is also my regular doctor. Considered high risk because of her age. I am not going to give it to her again as she seemed more miserable after taking it than before. | F | 2 | 1 days | 11/8/2009 | 5 | H1N1 | Peppery taste in mouth. Still...a week later. :( | I was in the hospital & released to go home with prescription fir Tamiflu. I believe Tamiflu saved my life. Many of the reported "side effects" are merely symptoms of the flu. I would recommend Tamiflu to anyone battling swine flu- I know it saved me from the worst sickness I've ever seen! | F | 33 | 5 days | 11/7/2009 | 5 | flue | Absolutely none, I was vomitting before tamiflu and that plus the fever stopped within hours of first dose. | urgent care | M | 50 | 2 days | 11/7/2009 | 4 | Supposidly H1N1 | Nausea if not taken at the time I am eating a decent meal. Dizziness. Stomach always felt funny while on this med. A difference in bowel movements. Bt most of all by my 4th day of taking had itchy skin on chest, palm of hands, arms. | It seemed to help by the time 24 hours went by. By mild fever was gone. The only thing it doesn't seem to be helping is the left over snot in my nose! UGH! | F | 28 | 5 days | 11/7/2009 | 4 | Type A told we had h1n1 | 6 year old just finished 5 days of the liquid. She is fine now. getting an antibiotic for her chesty yellow cough... I got it after 4 days. I am on it, just took my 3rd pill and I am dizzy and very alert. I can walk into a room and smell everything..like when you are prego but I am not. weird alertness. Just take it easy if you are on it. Not hungry at all either. I heard for kids you can ask for the adult pill and sprinkle it on food. the liquid tastes horrible. I had to bribe her to take it! I have hot sweats still though. Feeling better. Daughter did have a bloody nose too. I hope I don't get the sharts! | 6 Year old woke w/ fever after halloween. took to dr. on monday and was diagnosed type A flu. Told she has swine cause it is too early for the winter flu. They won't do swine tests.... | F | 37 | 3 days | 11/7/2009 | 3 | yes | Shortness of breath, anxiousness, dry mouth, cough, odd feelings such as feeling like I was going to suffocate although my lungs were clear. It also affected my mental state in some way, I felt very wierd. | Besides the side effects mentioned, the drug seemed to do its job and make flu symptoms less severe. My fever is gone and I never devoloped any lung infections "5 days in". I drank alot of water and took frequent showers while changing into new clothes. | M | 22 | 5 days | 11/7/2009 | 3 | h1n1 | Night sweats, very dry mouth at night, nightmares, nervousness. My whole Family has been on tamiflu after one by one coming down with flu. If it is taken with food and a little gravol for the kids for first day, they were able to keep it down. Healthy nacking has also helped with stomach upsetness for whole family. I have noticed my 4year old daughter being more aggressive than usual. She is usually quite sweet and sensitive, now she responds us with anger. She elbows me and pushes me if i am in her way. When I talk to her about it she cries and needs holding, but then returns to same agressive behaviour. My husband finished his tamiflu one day ago and he is not sleeping. He is coughing so much, but that is from h1n1. I finished my tamiflu first, about two days ago. My nightmare was so scarry I still can't shake the thoughts of it. I broke out in hives while hanging christmas decorations, yesterday. I also have a weird lonely feeling...don't like this at all. I hope m | emergency room. My son of 16months, myself. Then my husband a day later then my 4 year old daughter two days after taht. | F | 30 | 5 days | 11/7/2009 | 5 | H1N1 | This drug was a GODSEND for my 9yr old daughter, she was experiencing high fever/terrible cough/vomiting/loss of bowel function/overall illness due eto H1N1. She felt relief immediately, which ran out about 3-4 hrs prior to her next dose, but again immed improvement until just before her next dose. I DID GET THE SCRIPT FILLED AND INTO HER WITHIN 8 HOURS OF THE ONSET OF HER FLU. Apparently this makes a diff. I did not note her experiencing any of the horrible psych effects I have just read on here. BUT MY PHARMACIST ALSO DID NOT MAKE ANY MENTION OF THEM EITHER!! My youngest is doing SO much better, I am giving the last 3 doses to my eldest in the hopes of staving the H1N1 out of her system too. | F | 38 | 4 days | 11/6/2009 | 3 | Type A influenza | Vomitting after taking, but also vomitted prior to taking. | 5 1/2 year old prescribed Tamiflu at urgent care clinic after 36 hours of fever, spiking at 104 degrees. Too early to say whether drug lessens duration of Type A flu. 3 doses with third dose vomitting, however child had vomitted prior to taking the drug as well. No hallucinations, sleep interruption nor other strange side effects to date. | M | 5 | 1 days | 11/6/2009 | 2 | common flu | My 17 year old took it the day she came down with the flu and was running a 102.8 fever | Our doctor perscribed it due to her high fever and symptoms. She felt fine by day 3 still on tamiflu. Sunday her gums started to bleed with the toothbrush and started getting ulcers in her mouth. 3 days after stopping medication (tamiflu) she had stabbing pains in her abdomen and a little vomiting. Can eat but not very hungry. Still in bed after a week. Not sure if we would use this drug again. | F | 17 | 5 days | 11/6/2009 | 1 | Flu H1N1 | Horrible Stomach Pain about 30 minutes after taking the drug followed by vomiting and diarrhea for hours. I couldnt sleep it kept me awake all night feeling weird where I could not think straight at all. Before I took the medicine I was feeling sick but NOTHING like after I took it. I stopped taking it after 3 days because I couldn't take the pain anymore, and just worked with old fashioned OTC flu relief which worked just fine. | Was prescribed by my family doctor after testing positive for Influenza A type H1N1. | F | 30 | 3 days | 11/6/2009 | 1 | Diagnosed with Swine Flu | After taking Tamiflu i could not sleep all night. My felt my head was going to burst and i just wanted to run out of my house screaming. When i try to sleep i cannot close my eyes and i see dreadful dreams which i have never seen before. The headaches are never ending and just dont go away.. I sweat a lot and the only positive thing is my temperature has gone down (could have done that with paracetamol i guess). My chest is very tight and my body aches from head to toe and being asthmatic dosent help. As i am kept isolated i do feel scared, especially at night with all the dreams. I sought advice from a lovely nurse who gave me advice and said that i could stop taking Tamiflu. I dont know what is worse, the symptoms of Swineflu or the after effetcs of Tamiflu....? I guess i'll have to wait and hope for my recovery from today.. I am used to reading up on thigs before i consume it, should have done the same with Tamiflu. I wish the best to all those who have been affected. Written on b | My regular doctor gave me Amoxicillin and sent me home.
