| 1 | H1N1 | Anger, irritability, nightmares, aggression, emotional. | I have contacted the FDA about the dangerous side effects this medicine caused my daughter after only 2 doses. Please contact the FDA and report any side effects you or your child have experienced. | F | 12 | 1 days | 10/30/2009 | 5 | H1N1 | No side effects so far. | Starting taking it within hours of diagnoses and same day the symptoms started. By the next afternoon the fever was gone. Symptoms are now like a mild cold. Never had to deal with vomiting, diarrhea, or other severe flu symptoms other than cough and fever. | F | 7 | 2 days | 10/29/2009 | 5 | H1N1 | None | My 6 year old and my 3 year old daughters both have the H1N1 virus and our doctor prescribed Tamiflu. He gave us all the info regarding the drug and told us it was up to us if we wanted to go ahead and give it to them based on the possible side effects. We did decide to give it to them since it was within the first 48 hours of their symptoms starting. We have had absolutely NO side effects whatseover and my kids were feeling better after just 2 doses!!! I would definitely recommend trying it. If there are side effects you cannot blame the drug. It does what it is supposed to. Everyone is different and people respond differently to all types of medications. This one I think is a life saver. | F | 43 | 2 days | 10/29/2009 | 2 | Asthmatic w/ H1N1 flu | Extreme Insomnia, anxiety, tiredness, moodiness and loss of appetite | I am in excellent health with the exception of being an asthmatic. I was prescribed Tamiflu Sunday evening after a visit to emergency room for uncontrolled coughing, inability to breathe and extreme aches and pains. My first dose of Tamiflu was taken Sunday evening with some food in my stomach resulting in just a small bout of nausea. However, it's been all downhill since then. I have been awake since Monday.......can't sleep, day or night. I feel like I am losing my mind. I am not eating. I have weird thoughts. I can't function. And since I am still coughing uncontrollably after five days, I am not confident this product has helped. The side effects for me are overwhelming. Unfortunately, there is no way to know how this product will affect you until you use it. Please give serious weight to all the pros and cons before using this product. I was warned by the physician that the medicine might make me moody but I never expected the other side effects. | F | 59 | 5 days | 10/29/2009 | 1 | Suspected H1N1 | Anger, irritability, nightmares, aggression, emotional. | My 12 year old daughter was prescribed this medicine because she had all the symptoms of H1N1. After the first dose, she could not keep her eyes open and fell asleep within 30 minutes. I gave her the second dose the next day at 3:50pm. She complained of a tummy ache, nothing real bad. Then at about 1am in the morning I woke up to her standing up in the middle of the room screaming. I called her name and she turned to me and started hitting me in the face! The look on her face was horror, I could tell she was scared. She was screaming and crying. i finally got her calmed down and she said that she had a dream that I was trying to kill her. My daughter was petrified to go back to sleep. She kept begging me to keep her awake so that she would not have to go through that experience again. She kept looking at me like she was afraid of me. She said she was afraid that it was not a dream because it felt so real. She kept asking me if she was awake or was she dreaming. It was awful! I never want my daughter to experience something like this again. I felt so bad for her. She kept telling me she was sorry for hitting me and she kept kissing my face. I told her that it was not her fault, that it was the medicine. She finally fell back asleep 2 hours later.I am throwing the medicine out! I am also going to do whatever I can to get this drug off the market! If anyone would like to join me please email me. | F | 12 | 1 days | 10/29/2009 | 1 | Flu like symptoms | Extreme disorientation, suicidal thoughts, tired, throwing up, restlessness, not able to sleep | I took the meds for a total of 10 days (8 doses), because I was so disoriented that I couldn't remember to take if. I just got back from the Emergency Room where the Dr called the poison control center to ask about the side effects (she didn't know) and all they said was nausea, and dizziness. This is their primary medicine treating a pandemic flu and no one knows the side effects. The real pandemic is that our whole health system is a train wreck and people are dying unnecessarily. The only way to avoid it is to get educated yourself. | M | 48 | 10 days | 10/29/2009 | 4 | Flu H1N1 | I am currently giving this to my 10 month old after he tested positive for the Flu. My older son (3) gave it to him and it was a long road to recovery for him. Hospitals, doctors etc. So, I had to weigh my options...Give this to my baby or fear he would be hospitalized. I am on day 4 and he has had a rough time with it. He is aggitated, I can tell his tummy hurts and the first dose made him vomit. | It has stopped the flu in its tracks. He was fever free within 24 hours and does not have it nearly as bad as my son did. I have heard the last few doses are a bit easier on the stomach. Since he is too little to tell me what is wrong it is heartwrenching to watch him be this uncomfortable. The upside is he will be around allot longer because of this drug. | M | 1 | 4 days | 10/28/2009 | 3 | Confirmed H1N1 Flu | I only took Tamiflu for 3 days and then broke out with severe rash and hives. I am now on my 3rd round of steroids. As soon as I stop, the hives come back. They are on my legs, torso, arms and now in my scalp. | F | 35 | 3 days | 10/28/2009 | 2 | Child had a high fever | I have a 21 month old and she was perscribed Tamiflu. After 4 doses she has a rash on her back, chest, legs, arms and face. | Please research this drug before administering to your child or yourself. I would not recommend taking Tamiflu. | F | 2 | 3 days | 10/28/2009 | 2 | Type A Flu | Leg cramps, dizzy, extremely tired, Nausea, vomiting | Daughter screamed and cried about not taking it. I stopped after 2 doses. | F | 7 | 2 days | 10/28/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | My 2 year old son was diagnosed with H1N1 (with out a swab test done) I am 13 weeks pregnant. They put both of us on Tamiflu. He seems to be okay. However, I do NOT have it and they gave me 75mg once a day for 10days (just because I would be High Risk). With in 30-45 minutes I had uncontrolled vomiting! My chest was heavy felt as I just ran 30 miles with every other word I had to gasp for air, horrible headache, back ache and I also felt very dizzy and disoriented. (I will say I had the back ache, headache before taking the Tamiflu however, they only got worse) I am sure I the back ache and headache was from staying up with my son. Despite them saying stay away for your sick child, my son was sick for a day and a half before it HIT him hard… so I looked at it as I was already exposed… and If I am going to get it there is nothing I nor they can do to stop it. So, I will care for my 2 year old who wanted his mommy and no one else! | I called my OB right away, they are taking me off this drug and going to put me on the nose spray—I don’t know if I should take that one or not?? I will say this flu is not as bad as it has been made out to be. Although my son never had the swab, he already had the regular flu this year and the regular flu shot – so it was not as bad. The Doctor said with out a doubt he has the H1N1 bug, he had EVERY symptom, plus he was around two other children at day care that had the swab done and were positive. It’s a flu that needs to run its course. I am happy to say he is doing okay. However, the media has a great story to run with and its sad….it’s just a flu with a fancy name, nothing to fear unless you have other problems that make you high risk however, they fail to tell you, you are just at risk to die from the regular flu too if you are “high risk”. | F | 26 | 2 days | 10/28/2009 | 5 | children with fevers | nothing negative | my 8 year old came home from school with a high fever. I could get it down but it would go right back up. After 24 hours we took her in and got tamiflu for her and with in 2 doses of it her fever was gone. our other 2 children got a fever the day after and we started them on tamiflu right away and their fevers were gone after the first dose. my husband and I took tamiflu without any symptoms to help prevent us from getting the flu and it worked. we never got it. If we hadn't taken the pill we probably would have gotten sick too. | F | 30 | 5 days | 10/27/2009 | 5 | h1n1 | took me longer to fall asleep at night. | My son and I both took Tamiflu. He is 5 and has asthma and I have a 4 month old baby and we took it and our time being sick was shortened and was very mild. | F | 28 | 5 days | 10/27/2009 | 4 | h1n1 | took first two pills. first at 3pm middle of the night i woke up and felt so much better. next day i took the next and my tummy got upset and had terrible poop. took the next and nothing, i feel so much better. having an upset stomach for an hour... big deal. You should probably try this. | M | 23 | 5 days | 10/27/2009 | 1 | ill - flu like symptoms | prolonged my already high fever - was sick for two days, doctor presrcibed tamiflu and i think it put my body into over drive - high fever (above 39 C daily) for another five days. pure hell | I dreaded each and every pill (severe headaches would kick in,little sleep), pharmicist said to finish it. In retrospect I wish I had never started the prescription. | F | 43 | 5 days | 10/27/2009 | 1 | Flu, mild fever | Its only been 1 day, 2 doses, but I already started to have these side effects including sweating, abdominal discomfort, unusual mindset, nightmare. | I've been sweating in my sleep but I guess that's normal in a fever.. I got my fever on Friday, but didn't get to see my doctor until Monday prescribing me Tamiflu. After 1st dose, I was extremely exhausted and life-less after going to class, had major anxiety. After 2nd dose before going to bed, I was thinking and seeing weird things. Difficult to fall asleep. I also had horrible a nightmare and I woke up crying. I just took my 3rd dose, hoping these side effects do not continue.... | F | 19 | 2 days | 10/27/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | I got the H1N1 saturday evening and ive been sleepless the past 4 days i have hardly slept even niquil wasent helping me sleep well i started taking my tamiflu Monday the 1st dose was fine the 2nd dose monday night i have anxiety, again i cant sleep, i was laying in bed bout to cry and i got to thinking how i could make myself feel better, i started thinking bout knives and stabbing myself. so i lay in bed thinking bout this and tossing and turning about ready 2 cry!! | I would not recommened anyone too take this medicine!! | F | 21 | 2 times | 10/27/2009 | 1 | diagnosed with flu-like symptoms | extreme confusion, delirium, dizziness, fatigue and headaches | I wouldn't recommend anyone to take this drug unless you had a severe case of the flu. (All of my symptoms happened after only one dose) DO NOT give this to your children! | M | 14 | 0 days | 10/27/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | DONT TAKE | i was severly sick,i was running a 102 fever for days and i was thinking this was going to help me so much, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSe, i could not stp vomiting, i mean there was nothing left to trow up! Think twice before taking it | F | 24 | 1 days | 10/27/2009 | 1 | Swine FLu | Horrible anxitey attacks, couldn't sleep | After taking Tamiflu for 2 1/2 days I had to discontinue use of it. It gave me horrible anxiety attacks and also prevented me from sleeping for over 20 hours. I literally thought I was going crazy. The medicane made me feel worse than the swine flu did. I hope I never experience anything like it again. Nothing helped to calm the feelings other than just waiting for it to clear my system. I will never take this medicane again! Be very cautious when giving this to your children!! | F | 23 | 2 days | 10/27/2009 |
