| 1 | Confirmed Influenza A and Asthma | Severe behavior problems, Fits of rage, Depression, Crying uncontrollably | I gave my 4 year old son 2 doses of Tamiflu. After the second dose his behavior became very violent. He is usually a mild-mannered child and became 'a monster'. He was screaming, hitting, kicking etc. for hours. He looked as though he was out of it during these rages. I called his Doc the next day and they said to take him off of Tamiflu. It was terrible to see my boy have to deal w/ these side effects. Even 4 days later he is still showing some abnormal behaviors. NO TAMIFLU. We need to come together and get this drug out. | M | 4 | 1 days | 10/24/2009 | 4 | Influenza/Possible H1N1 | major dizziness, some nausea, inability to sleep through night, giddiness, overall goofiness in moods, fatigue | I was rx'd this by my doc after getting a temp of 104.7 - did a flu test which came back negative, though my doc says that most of the tests are inaccurate due to a lot of factors, but that it was obvious I had the flu. Started Tamiflu that day, felt no immediate results on Day 1, though by Day 2 the nausea, fever, lethargy and major flu symptoms had dissipated. Will take this again next time if I dare to miss my next vaccination! | F | 24 | 4 days | 10/23/2009 | 3 | H1N1 | Tightness in throat like someone's trying to VERY slowly choke me. Diahrea after 5th dose. | Not really sure it helped get me over the mild version of the flu I had. | F | 35 | 3.5 days | 10/23/2009 | 2 | Unknown Illness not H1N1 flu A or B | Vivid dreams when able to sleep,delirium/confusion, a foggy brain, unable to keep eyes well focused, an overall hangover like feeling, mood-swings, night sweats | Took the drug for four days and was sick for five days...I wouldn't take it again if you paid me, felt like a bad acid trip. When I had these dreams I could actually feel what was going on in my dream,good at times but bad when you are being attacked in your dreams...I am in college for an engineering degree and i cant even think. I went from a 130 IQ to a 100 IQ from this medicine I now am waiting for this brain fog to go away. TAMIFLU is not worth it | M | 23 | 4 days | 10/23/2009 | 2 | fever | abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, loss of appetite | I was given Tamiflu after going to the ER for very high fever. The fever resolved in about 3 days from onset but abdominal symptoms started day 2 (of a 5 day course) on Tamiflu. I stopped Tamiflu after day 3 and abdominal symptoms improved the next day. I would not take Tamiflu again. | F | 41 | 3 days | 10/23/2009 | 2 | Yes | Hives, night waking | My 16 month old daughter was given tamiflu without being tested for H1N1. We got the RX in suspension and gave her a total of 3 doses over 2 days. She had unsettled sleeping the first night, waking and having trouble returning to sleep (not usual for her). The following day she came up with a hive-like rash on her legs and arms. Decided to stop the meds and let the flu run it's course. We are currently on day 3 of flu...and hope it can clear up on it's own with out the use of this drug. | F | 1 | 2 days | 10/23/2009 | 1 | H1N1 Flu | Don't waste your money on this horrible drug. And don't give it to your kids either. My husband was the only one who didn't take it and he was fine. Just let the flu take its course. The drug ended up doing more harm than good and I feel like an idiot for giving it to my kids and taking it myself. We ended up with dry mouth, vomitting, diarhea, extreme dizziness, my head has been spinning for days now. Just another way for the pharm. co's and govt to make money and create public anxiety and fear. The flu was fine. The side effects from this drug were horrible and ended up making us more sick, and extended our illness. | F | 36 | 5 days | 10/23/2009 | 1 | influenza a | My 4 year old son was taking this for influenza A. it helped him to get better. he was on it for 5 days now the side effects are showing up. he has have behavior issues since he has been off of it and he has had an upset stomach since he was on it i would not recommend giving this to your child cause the side effects arent good My son has also been somewhat confusion confused, out of sorts, out of control emotions for no reason such as anger and agression | DONT GIVE THIS TO YOUR CHILDREN | M | 4 | 5 days | 10/23/2009 | 1 | Influenza A (possible H1N1) | My niece had "normal" flu symptoms, moderate fever, chills, mild nausea, mild headache and mild cough for a day and a half then went to the doctor because the school was worried it was Swine Flu and told my sister my niece would need to be tested and treated before she would be able to return to school. She went to the doctor and was diagnosed with Influenza A and was given Tamiflu. She took her first dose at 4:00 PM today. She will not be taking another dose. 1 hour after taking Tamiflu, she spiked a fever of 103 and began vomiting blood. I researched and found that yes, in severe cases vomiting blood was being reported with Swine Flu, however, this child was ill with what anyone has experienced with a "run of the mill" type flu. It wasn't until right after taking the Tamiflu did she become VERY ill. | PLEASE do your research, let the flu run it's course...MY RECCOMMENDATION: DO NOT GIVE THIS DRUG TO YOUR CHILD! | F | 8 | 1 days | 10/22/2009 | 1 | N1H1 flu | My 3 year old son had nightmares, would awake several times during the night screaming, very frightened, clearly misoriented, crying inconsolably, pushing and hitting us when we were trying to hold him and calm him down. He was also acting strangely during the day, being much more stubborn and jumpy than ususal and acting at times as if he had autism disorder - crying inconsoalbly without any reason and not being able to explain why he is crying or what he wants done. That is very unusual for him; he is very verbal. He took just 3 doses before we stopped giving him the medicine. After the first dose there was just one nightmare episode, and we did not know that it was a TamiFlu side effect; after another day on TamiFlu (2 doses) there were several nigght episodes, and those were longer and more severe than the first. After we stopped the drug, the effects could be felt for another 3 days, though not as severe; much shorter and only once or twice a during the night. | I think that it is a crime to prescribe such a powerful drug with a potential of such horrible side effects to little children. According to the manufacturer's website the drug shortens the length of the disease by 1.3 days. Its is not worth it. | M | 3 | 1.5 days | 10/22/2009 | 4 | prevent the flu | hardly slept through the night. | My daughter ended up in the hospital at 2 weeks old for pyelonephritis, but my fiance had been in the hospital 1 day before her admission for the flu, so they put her on tamiflu due to that & the fact that she was so young and admitted to the hospital where obviously a lot of sick kids were at, being that she's so young I can't exactly say any side effects she may have had, but I did notice she wasn't sleeping as much through the night, they started her on the meds two days after admission, and those two days before she started the tamiflu they had her on antibiotics while trying to figure out why she had a temp of 102.8 & she started sleeping through the night, so I'm just assuming that tamiflu may have been the issue, but she hasn't been sick since being exposed to her father & the hospital, so it's hopefully worked the way it's supposed to. | F | 19 | 7 days | 10/21/2009 | 3 | possible h1n1 flu | dizziness, facial nerve twitching | seemed to bring relief of bodyaches and minimize cough | F | 41 | 2 days | 10/21/2009 | 2 | H1N1 | I have had rather severe diarrhea but not certain if it is related to the Tamiflu or not. I wasn't given the medicine until day 3 of my flu symptoms so don't think it has helped all that much. It's still taken a week to feel better and probably would have been the same without taking the Tamiflu. | F | 58 | 5 days | 10/21/2009 | 1 | type a influenza..swine flu | My 10 year old daughter tested positive..blood test.. had fever, her body ached, head ache. She took the Tami flu and rested all day. She took the 2nd dose at bed time and with in 15-25 minutes she was really cold. I took her temp and it was 94.6. She stayed low ,not more then 95all night and was really out of it, until an hour before she was due to take the 3rd dose, which I did not give her. She felt worse on the tami flu. | F | 10 | 1 days | 10/21/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | Rash, itching, sleeplessness | I would not recommend giving this to a child or anyone who suffers from eczema. | F | 9 | 1 days | 10/21/2009 | 1 | Doctor Precribed for Flu. | Severe Allergic Reaction. I had to take my son to the emergency room. My son had head to toe hives/rash. Dificulty breathing & skin sensitivity. Emergency room Doctor stated it was from the Tamiflu and told my son to stop taking the medication. My son is 16 and had a severe allergic reaction to it. | M | 16 | 2 days | 10/21/2009 | 5 | H1N! | Nothing. | I would recommend this to anyone. I went from feeling horrible before the medicine to feeling 75% better. Within 48 hours. | M | 33 | 5 days | 10/20/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | Severe nausea, stomach pain and some diarrhea. Sleepnessless due to nausea and stomach pain. | I was given a 5 day prescription, but after 4 days of nausea and stomach pain I stopped taking it. Next time I'll just deal with the flu the old fashioned way. | F | 42 | 4 days | 10/20/2009 | 1 | Swine Flu | Had to go to the emergency room due to severe nausea and dizziness. Only took 1 pill, Would never take another. Id rather have swine flu then take tamiflu | M | 30 | 1 days | 10/20/2009 | 1 | No | Ok People. Please realize that you are being treated for Swine Flu even if you dont have it. I was told that the CDC is telling the doctors that they are to be diagnosed Swine Flu even if you dont have. And without any further testing !!! Please if you have the flu. Take Thera Flu and some Vics vapor rub. This vaccine and Tamiflu is deadly !!! | M | 34 | | 10/20/2009 |
