| 3 | SEASONAL FLU | NAUSEA, FUNNY TASTE IN MOUTH WHOLE DAY, MOOD HIGHS AND LOWS, UPSET STOMACH, LOST OF APPETITE. | Had +103 fever. Before 48hrs went to doctor who prescribed Tamiflu. Read about side effects which actually feels worse than described. PROS : Fever gone. Body energy pretty much restore, most likely cause fever is over. BUT nausea, weird fellings, difficult to eat, stomach upset. I'm sure this medicine mess with your central nervous system. Better stick to regular flu treatments. Don't trust in any new magic medicine ! MONEY TALKS | M | 36 | 2 days | 10/15/2009 | 1 | Swine Flu | Nausea, Vomitting, leg and foot cramps for several days, dizziness | It seemed to cure my flu symptoms, but in future I will be looking for an alternative medicine or remedy. The side effects are just too extreme. | M | 22 | 5 days | 10/15/2009 | 1 | Type A Flu | Vivid, terrifying nightmares. Leg pains from the knees down. A jittery or shaky feeling inside. | My 11 year old tested positive for Type A Flu after running slight fever for 5 days. He had not been very sick, I simply took him to have his lungs checked out due to a painful cough. The doctor put him on Tamiflu. His first dose was taken on a Wednesday evening two weeks ago. That night his first nightmare happened. EVERY time he falls asleep he immediately starts breathing hard, flailing about and moaning. I also started making him tell me about the nightmares and documenting each one. My son has watched me (Mom) be burned alive, drowned, hit by an 18-wheeler, etc. I almost always die before his eyes. In desperation, I took him back to his pediatrician, told her about his side effects, gave her a report on the nightmares he has been having. She said that NO problems with Tamiflu had been reported and that his side effects were from the actual Flu. If that were true, shouldn't he have had these side effects before he started the drug? (5 days after onset of symptoms) It has been 2 weeks since first nightmare and they have not slacked off at all. We are both exhausted! Will NEVER give Tamiflu to this child again! | F | 11 | 5 days | 10/15/2009 | 5 | Doctor suspected H1N1 | None | I began to feel better within hours of taking the first pill. When I went to the doctor's that day, I really thought that I was going to die, now I feel almost fine again. I am only coughing 1/2 as much and my lung congestion is GONE and I am only up to my third dose! Before I took it, I would have horrible coughing fits, I had a high fever and I was not doing well at all. Most of that is gone now. | M | 17 | 5 days | 10/14/2009 | 5 | H1N1 | NONE IT WORKED EXTREMELY WELL. WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FLU ON FRIDAY AND BY SUNDAY MORNING HE WAS FEELING FINE WITH NO FEVER. WE STARTED IT WITHIN THE FIRST 12 HOURS OF FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT TAKE ON EMPTY STOMACH. MY SON DOES NOT EAT MUCH BREAKFAST AND DID TAKE ONE MORNING AND MADE HIM SICK ON DAY 4. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND. | DID NOT LIKE TASTE. | M | 6 | 5 days | 10/14/2009 | 3 | Flu | Wicked diarrhea for hours, night sweats. | After 3 doses I felt much better, but I have spent the last 18 hours running back to the toilet several times an hour. Took Pepto, it seemed to help some but not enough. Considering stopping the medication because of this. | M | 38 | 2 days | 10/14/2009 | 2 | Exposed to flu | Slight rash. Slight swelling in feet and hands. joint pian all over. | My kids got the flu so my wife wanted us all to take it to prevent us from getting it too. I took three doses one everyday. I stopped after the third day.I had a real slight rash and itching on my legs and my scalp. I noticed my hands swellig first then my feet. I have always had reaction to insect bites pretty bad. This is what it reminds me of when it comes to the rash but the hands and feet swelling is a new one on me. | M | 38 | 3 days | 10/14/2009 | 1 | Flu | Worse vomiting than before dosage | I wouldnt take this drug again. Im glad I only took one pill. | F | 47 | 1 days | 10/14/2009 | 1 | for the flu | My daughter who is a teen, basically reverted back to a 5 or 6 year old. Delusional , scattered , unable to concentrate, moody, tearful. I immediatley took her off after 4 tablets, she was begging to take it for it made her batter but the side effects mentally were horrible, four days later she is becoming more like herself, but not a good drug and I would recommend it with lots of caution to any parent who might give it to teen. | F | 14 | 2 days | 10/14/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | strange dreams, anxiety, depression,insomia,paranoia | The first day I took tamiflu I vomited within an hour. I tried it again the next day with food and didnt vomit. I had strange vivid dreams the first two nights and the third night I had trouble falling asleep, had racing thoughts and had terrible dreams that kept waking me all night.I felt like I was going crazy! I stopped taking medicine and I am feeling sooo much better! I'd much rather deal with having the flu than go through that again! | F | 45 | 3 days | 10/14/2009 | 5 | h1n1 test negative - doc recommend | feeling chills, temp used to shoot to 103 (in matter of 10 min) but fall to 98 when we gave him Motrin. stay low for 6-8 hours and then shoot up again ... he did not like the taste ... but the fever disappeared on 2nd day ... and got much better by 3 - 4 days .. still working on getting his appetite back | My son could not sleep - and came over to our bed at 2am .. and i noticed that he was warmer than normal, when we checked the temp it was 102 - we gave him motrin and he has no temp in the morning. Later by 12 noon his temp was 102 .. we took him to the doc and it turned out to be h1n1 negative - but the doc felt in a day we will have the test turn to positive so he put us on tamiflu immediatly ... now my son is all well in day 3 and day 5 he could go to school (still working on his appetite which is gone to half his normal.) | M | 7 | 3 days | 10/13/2009 | 1 | Flu | Very nauseous, lost appetite, sensitive to light, unable to sleep | The side effects of the drug prolong the horribleness of the original flu bug. Wish I had NEVER started taking this drug, but doctor insisted since I'm pregnant and the swine flu is so prevalent. | F | 30 | 4 days | 10/13/2009 | 1 | swine flu | vomiting within 45mins of first dose | was feeling extremley worse after taking first dose of Tamiflu,refused to take any more,maybe thats why it is free!! | F | 20 | 1 times | 10/13/2009 | 5 | H1N1 105 Fever | Son had diarrhea 2x and back-of-his-leg cramps, although not sure related. | We gave our 10yo son half doses of tamiflu (half of 75mg capsule in juice) at about 40-hour point in his flu. We had not been able to bring his fever down; was 105 night before and 103 the morning we gave him this drug. His fever dropped within hours, and was not above 101 the rest of that day, and normal the next. This seemed faster than the recovery his brother had (w/o tamiflu). We're thankful. | M | 10 | 3 times | 10/12/2009 | 5 | Flu | No side effects | This drug is amazing. I have also used this drug in the past and I always had excellent results. Within 24 hours, I feel much better. I highly recommend this drug if flu sympomts appear. | M | 31 | 4 days | 10/12/2009 | 4 | H1N1 | One of my daughters became ill and it was three days before we got a correct diagnosis and started Tamiflu. She was really pretty sick, terrible coughing, fever, congestion...when my other two children started complaining of not feeling well, I took the immediately to the doctor and the were put on Tamiflu as well. The latter two children did run fever and felt bad, but not anything like the first one. I am convinced the Tamiflu helped my two children to not feel the full force of H1N1, because the one who was the sickest was my strongest child, she just didn't take the medication soon enough. One of my children often gets very, very sick with respiratory problems and we did not experience any of that, and I attribute it to the Tamiflu. | A lot of the side effects also correlate with symptoms of the flu. | F | 38 | 5 days | 10/12/2009 | 3 | family member diagnosed H1N1 | after last dose: anxiety, redness under eyes(similar to sunburn), vomiting, night sweats, itchy. Previous doses: dry mouth, lethargy | This was strange as the side effects only became very uncomfortable after the last (10th) dose. The redness came first, then the restlessness, sweats, forceful vomiting. The itching occurred after the vomiting, but that may be because the stomach discomfort masked the itching. | M | 21 | 5 days | 10/12/2009 | 3 | my daughter was diagnosed H1N1 | Extremely lethargic, dry mouth, disturbing dreams, "mystery" itching | I was prescribed this medication after my daughter and several of her friends were diagnosed with the flu. I became extremely tired and hazy, felt a bit depressed, and had very strange dreams. I also experienced itchiness that became worse at night - mostly in my feet and on my face, but occasionally on my back. I also had more of a tendency to become angry... not in a rational or usual way at all. The most upsetting side-effect for me was the very tired feeling - I had no energy at all. I wondered more than once if I should have just taken my chances with the flu. | F | 43 | 5 days | 10/12/2009 | 3 | H1N1 | Sweating, dizziness, Vivid nightmares, weird state of consciousness awake, confusion, upset stomache, somewhat absence of taste, strange thoughts. | I'll never take this again. I'd rather just have the flu. | F | 34 | 5 days | 10/12/2009 | 2 | my 3 year old daughter is athsmatic as well, and within 10 minutes of the 1st dose vomited a very mucous-y liquid. Since then (2 hours ago) she has spit up this same consistency 3 more times. Not complaining of leg or foot pain yet as others have indicated but obviously not having fun throwing up | we'll monitor the situation closely. | F | 3 | 1 days | 10/12/2009 |
