This stuff is dangerous! It is too new to be used especially on kids. When the insert informs you about the animals studies on rats, and they are dying and finding high doses of the chemicals in their brains. People are dropping out of the study because there are too many side effects. PREDIATRIC PRECAUTIONS in large print on the pharmicy printout. NOT A GOOD SIGN PEOPLE!! Go with nature--let it run its course-just be SMART and address any bacterial infections not the FLU!!! | F | 37 | 1 days | 9/23/2009 | 3 | Flu | Stomach aches, and passing of wind | I am on my fourth day and would say, i really dont feel any better at all, i may have something elese wrong with me. Back to the doctors tomorrow. | F | 33 | 5 days | 9/22/2009 | 3 | Exposure to family | My daughter had no side effects. I was ok while taking my 5 day course, but the night I stopped, I woke up in the night, hallucinating, walking like I was drunk, and putting toys in my daughters crib while she was sleeping. For several days I had increased anxiety, and I am still suffering from mild depression. | If you are already on antidepressants, be mindful that if you are having these symptoms, you might not be backsliding ( a very scary thought for those of us who have dealt with depression before!) and try to be patient. | F | 33 | 5 days | 9/22/2009 | 1 | Swine Flu | Hot Cold Sweats Aches Pains Confusion, Coughing Insomnia Head Ache | DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!! It will leave you feeling worse that swine flu EVER will I took it 5 weeks ago & STILL suffering from its effects I'm, trying to "THINK" through a "Fog" I sweat constantly, I ache all over I cough all the time, I do not sleep, I'm Starving Hungry but don't want any food I have NO ENERGY AT ALL I cannot consentrate (Or Spell!!) I have been back to my GP 3 times only to be told "It COULD be post Viral Fatuge Disorder" ....ARSE!!! Its Damn Tamiflu Side effects & They KNOW IT If you think you've got Flu Take Paraceatmol & Go to bed | M | 53 | 5 days | 9/21/2009 | 4 | Swine flu | Nausea after taking initial dose. | Most symptoms described on this site are more likely to be directly attributable to virus rather than side effects of prescribed antiviral. You can expect chills,fever,night sweats, disturbed sleeping patterns & odd dreams when ill and therefore stressed. There seems to be a neurosis pandemic! | F | 39 | 4 days | 9/20/2009 | 2 | doctor prescribed | HIVES on 4th day. My doctor did the swab test and it came out NEGATIVE for flu, but since I'm a high school teacher where there's a lot of flu, he prescribed Tamiflu. | I've allergic to sulfa drugs, so I'm not surprised that I'm probably allergic to this too! But my flu-like symptoms only lasted 24 hours while on Tamiflu! | F | 58 | 3 days | 9/20/2009 | 5 | 2-year old daughther had swine flu | Daugther had 41degC temperature (106degF) and went on tamiflu medication straight away. Within 24 hours there was a dramatic improvement in her condition. She completed her 5 day dose program and now is almost back to normal but has a slight cough which is clearly up | Little to no side-effects. The taste was unpleasant but nothing a small chocolate can't fix afterwards | F | 2 | 5 days | 9/17/2009 | 1 | high temp, sore throat ,cough | heavy breathing, insomnia, very tired, tingling hands | i first took the tamiflu in the 2nd week of august 1 tablet twice a day for 5 days, whilst taking the tablet i experienced breathing difficulties, insomnia, and tingling hands, it was about 5 days after i finished the course of tamiflu that i started to feel very strange i felt as tho i was loosing my mind and i have had pannic attacks, feeling dizzy, tingling and numbness in my hands and feet, i went to the hosp because i thought i had smth seriously wrong with me i have had 3 lots of blood test taken and all were fine. It is now 5/6 weeks on am still not right am haveing a strange sensation in my head and still feel very weak at times, this is effecting my every day life and my work and would love to know when i am gonna be back to my normal happy self again its driving me mad if anyone knows how long please let me know , | F | 45 | 5 days | 9/17/2009 | 4 | H1N1 | Nightmares, slight nausea, insomnia, hot sweats | Im only on my 2nd day of taking tamiflu however my flu like symptoms have settled greatly. Runny nose and coughing up rubbish is still there but my temperature has dropped significantly and the muscle aches and pains have subsided. The main side-effect is insomnia, I have gone from sleeping 17 hours in the first day of the flu to not been able to sleep and even when I do its extremley unsettled with hot sweats. Again when I am able to sleep I am experiencing vivid nightmares which is a little scary... but I think that the Tamiflu along with the symptoms I am experiencing is alot better than suffering with the swine flu! | F | 21 | 2 days | 9/16/2009 | 3 | flu exposure | Severe Rash | After the 5d day of taking Tamiflu my daughter broke out into a very bad rash in her head, down her face, and over her stomach. I called her doctor and he said to stop taking immediately. She was suppose to take it for 7 days. | F | 5 | 5 days | 9/16/2009 | 2 | Health care professional; exposed | Severe diarrhea, pain in rectal area. Awakening with diarrhea at night after taking in the am. | Exposure to flu and used as a preventive not sure that it works that well for this purpose. | F | 58 | 3 days | 9/16/2009 | 2 | Prevention | My hands were feeling numb, my face was kinda on fire at first and then numb. I had a wired sentation in my back. Insomnia up till 5 am, short temper, irritable. | First of all read side effects, they are real. I tooked for 5 days (only one pill per day because is for prevention my husband has the swine flu)and yesterday I almost went to the ER. Im calling Doctor to let him know but Im not taking this medicine any more!!!!! | F | 38 | 5 days | 9/16/2009 | 1 | swine flu | Hi my little boy has adhd and on medication for it he has been a love since being on them, had no problems at all. Had tamiflu, I’m so worried this was 6 weeks ago, has lost lots of weight and very pale, I make meals after meals and he wont touch them, I have to force him to eat ice cream, they just put it down to his medication, but was fine before hand,now has an attitude and wont sleep. he didn't have all symptom and they wouldn't check first to make sure he had it, its wrong,what have they done to us. Thanks Kelly | M | 7 | 7 days | 9/16/2009 | 3 | type A Influenza | Hallucinations, insomnia, severe stomach cramps, diarreah,nausea, mood swings. | The sleeplessness and stomach cramps were the worst. My son took 2 1/2 days worth, and I am considering stopping the dose. He is seeing things and hearing strange sounds, the nausea is terrible. | M | 9 | 2 days | 9/15/2009 | 3 | diagnosed H1N1 | I was having strange dreams, insomnia, clammy skin, night sweats, and muscle aches prior to starting my prescription of Tamiflu. I think that all of these can be attributed to normal flu symptoms and not side effects of the drug. | I only took two doses of Tamiflu and will not be finishing the prescription. I will say that I felt better before beginning Tamiflu, and I feel that my regimen of Airborne, Vitamin C, Guaifenesin (for cough), and Tylenol was working to treat the symptoms as well as if not better than the Tamiflu. I'm saving my tabs in case of a real pandemic. I think the "3" rating is fair given that I didn't finish the prescription. | M | 41 | 1 days | 9/15/2009 | 2 | H1N1 | Vomited up first dose. Took second dose 10 hours later and within 2 hours hives covered my body. | I have asthma and this was supposed to help. I had to stop taking it because of potential severe reaction of hives in my throat. | F | 14 | 1 days | 9/14/2009 | 2 | Flu | insomnia, headaches, dizziness, confusion | I can't believe I paid $100+ for these pills. It took me a few days to realize that Tamiflu was making me feel worse. I couldn't fall asleep till 5am when I took and had the worst headaches. When I stoppped taking Tamiflu I started feeling better. | M | 44 | 3 days | 9/14/2009 | 1 | H1N1 | hallucinations, feeling of anxiety, sweating, dry mouth,confusion,forgetfullness and worst of all feeling crazy. | I would not recommend this medicine to anyone...I started taking this med about 3 days ago and on the second day I was hallucinating,having cold sweats, nightmares, wierd dreams,feeling angry, I felt as if i wanted to harm my son and I had to send him to his grandmothers home for a few hours until the feeling passed. It was almost and out of body experience..now I see how people feel when they have snapped, do not take this drug and it caused breathing problems and heart pain. | F | 36 | 3 days | 9/14/2009 |
