I was expecting some side affects so i took the second pill about 5 hours ago, its now 1:19am in the morning and im terrified to go to sleep. i jus have a feeling of doom over me, its bizarre, im so tired but im far to scared to sleep :( I chucking these away and im going to get rid of it the old fashioned way, paracetamol, OJ , hotshowers and SLEEP! | F | 22 | 1 days | 8/18/2009 | 3 | Swine Flu | I have taken tamiflu for 3 days now, feel much better as far as the flu symptoms go. I am however feeling quite dizzy and a bit disorientated, that could be side effects of having flu. Had vivid dreams and felt a bit anxious. | My 10 year old daughter also took tamiflu and experienced no side effects at all. | F | 39 | 3 days | 8/17/2009 | 1 | suspected swine flu | took the course in May still have numb and swollen fingers. pain in knees feel ive aged 20 years | Wish i had never taken it | F | 67 | 5 days | 8/17/2009 | 1 | "Just in case" dr said | Feeling depressed, insomnia, nightmares, next day after first dose: right leg hurt. That night,after taking 2nd dose: leg was red, swollen, and tender. Went to see Dr and he gave me Prednisone and told me to stop Tamiflu. Two days later, leg is still swollen, red, and very tender. Leg feels as if retaining water, feels hot, and feels tight. | I would not recommend it to anyone. I would have to weigh the pros and cons. The way I feel right now, I would not recommend it. What is the drug industry doing to compensate those that have really bad reactions? | M | 38 | 2 days | 8/17/2009 | 1 | suspected swine flu | severe headaches, vomiting, severe diarrhoea, lifelessness, continual need to sleep, hot and cold sweats. | Having been given tamiflu as a result of web site questionnaire, i began the course of treatment only after i read the side effects, but was not prepared for the severity of thses side effects which have left me bed bound and lifeless. I have hardly eaten since Friday 14th Aug only manageing very small ammounts of solid food but have spent a lot of time dashing to the toilet with diarrhoea. I have decided to stop taking tamiflu after 4 tabs. This drug may be the answer, but should we not be spending more time reducing the side effects? | F | 58 | 2 days | 8/16/2009 | 1 | Swine Flu | 1 week after my course of Tamiflu I have a reaction of swollen fingers feet and painful joints. Has anyone else had these symptoms from taking Tamiflu? I have been to my Doctor and he says these should go in 2 weeks, which is fine but how I am going to return to work on Monday to use the computer all day I don't know. Would not advise use of Tamiflu to anyone just go with the usual flu remedies. | F | 56 | 5 days | 8/15/2009 | 5 | Suspected swine flu | No side effects. | After the very first dose I feel better, as my wife daughter too, since all 3 of us were with symptoms. | M | 37 | 5 days | 8/14/2009 | 1 | SW | days 1 and 2 were fine, day 3 all of sudden huge headache, jaw and toothache, dry throat, tight chest, mild nausea...not looking forward to trying to sleep tonight | Dont bother with it, it only reduces flu symptons by one day and i would rather an extra day of flu than feeling like this, having spoken to my GP its now in the bin. | M | 34 | 3 days | 8/14/2009 | 1 | preventative | vomiting and stomach cramps after tablet 1. Then after the second tablet I had a very frightening panic attack along with hallucinations and psychosis. I also had hot and cold sweats. it was like having an out of body experience. I was with my best friend when the episode occurred and had no idea who she was and was very afraid of her. An ambulance was called as the episode i had was so severe. I am just thankful that I was not driving at the time. My legs collapsed from under me and i was shaking uncontrolaby. this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me. i am a very placid person who does not get stressed or upset easily. | There should be warnings regarding this medication. I would rather have the swine flu than take this ever again. People should be aware of the horrific side effects of this medication. Even after not taking them for two days, and only taking two anyway, I am still not myself. I am emotional and feel scared and on edge all the time. I am also very tired. | F | 50 | 2 days | 8/13/2009 | 3 | Suspected swine flu | Been taking tamiflu for 2 days now due to suspected swine flu.I had all the syptoms of it. After taking tamiflu I feel a hell of a lot better but as far as side affects go, I've had nightmares and i have developed severe tooth and jaw ache, i feel as if I've gone ten rounds with Tyson my head hurts so much. The drug has got rid of some of my flu like symptoms but has also brought a lot of other pain along with it... TAKE WITH CAUTION... | TAKE WITH CAUTION... | F | 24 | 2 days | 8/11/2009 | 2 | Swine Flu | Headache, stomach cramps, nausea, did actually get chest infection, ear infection in both ears, sinisitus - not sure if Tamiflu or as a consequence of swine flu | F | 39 | 5 days | 8/11/2009 | 5 | Poss. Swine Flu | None | Started taking tamiflu when prescribed it by doctor after describing symptoms over the phone as it was too risky to visit clinic in case I passed it on. After one day of taking the medication, I immediately began to feel better. No side effects such as 'nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bronchitis, stomach pain, dizziness, headache'. Now on the fourth day of taking Tamiflu, feel back to normal self. | F | 19 | 5 days | 8/10/2009 | 1 | I didnt take it | Read other sites | I just read articles about how teenagers who were otherwise normal suddenly jumped off bridges, buildings and cliffs (committed suicide) for no apparent reason. The only common factor was they had taken Tamiflu. I think it messes up your nerves in the brain so you get disoriented. I would rather have the flu! | M | 32 | 0 days | 8/9/2009 | 5 | diagnosed by NHS national helpline | None whatsoever. | I was diagnosed on 3/8/09. I started medication same day and now 3 days later, all symptoms, aside from a slight underlying cough have gone completely, runny/stuffy nose, sinus pain, severe headache, litlessness, green junk on tight chest, joint and limb pain etc. feel like I now simply have the tail end of standard cold. | M | 52 | 3 days | 8/6/2009 | 5 | Possible Swine Flu | None | Came down with the flu during the night. Woke up with chills, muscle pain, sore throat, dizziness, headache and a fever of 104. Went to the Doctor the next day and started Tamiflu less than 24 hours after the symptoms started. The fever immediately began dropping steadily and by the next morning was down to 99. Don't know how quickly I would have recovered without it but I feel the medicine worked rather well. | M | 40 | 5 days | 8/6/2009 | 1 | swine flu | Stomach pains, Nausea, severe dizziness, light-headed, cramp pains in both legs, palpatations, swollen eyes, severe head pains, depression, confusion and dis-orientated, feeling of panic, extreme fatigue, disturbing dreams. | I was prescribed this after on-line diagnosis of SW. While it did seem to get rid of the SW, it made me feel more ill than Ive ever felt in my life. I even thought I was dying at one point! I only took 3 days of Tamiflu and stopped as soon as my daughter read about the side effects, but now even a week after stopping it I still feel really unwell and have dizziness and fatigue and upset stomach, and a general feeling of being "out of it", Im weak and just walking up the stairs exhausts me. My Daughter was prescribed it as a preventative measure, she only took ONE SINGLE DOSE and could barely walk up the hill to visit me, her legs were hurting and heavy and she felt "odd". I would never, ever take this medication again, its horrendous, and I worry for all the young children taking it, who cant explain how ill they are feeling, and how scary it is! The media should publish some of the terrible symptoms, and the Government should be more honest about this drug. I wish Id never taken it, Swine flu would have been easier to deal with than this! Im telling anyone and everyone who will listen NOT TO TAKE THIS DRUG. It should be banned. | F | 51 | 3 days | 8/6/2009 | 5 | Flu symptoms | My 4yr old experienced no side effects and got better in two days of taking it. My 3 yr old is vomiting after taking the dosage so not too sure if it is working on her or not? | every person is different so the side effects will occur in some people and some not. If you have flu like symptoms the best you can do is to be safe and take Tamiflu if you experience severe side effects you can stop it, but at least you are not risking your or your child's life buy not giving it a chance!! | F | 4 | 5 days | 8/5/2009 | 1 | possible swine flu | Extreme Depression, fatigue, nausea, vertigo, weird dreams, unable to concentrate, anxiety, panic attacks, no appetite | Was prescribed tamiflu after having some flu symptoms, started taking on the Thursday and it quickly helped the flu symptoms, on the Monday after day 4 of the course of pills I started to feel the symptoms I have listed! I stopped taking tamiflu immediately. The symptoms continued so bad that I had to go see a out of hours doctor, he refused to admit that tamiflu was the cause and gave me antidepressants telling me a had depression, this confused me as I am normally the happiest guy ever with a perfect life. Anyway I took the antidepressants for 2 days as they made me sleep good but was far to drowsy in the day, after excatly 7 days after stopping taking tamiflu I started to feel like my normal self again! Tamiflu is the devil and wish I would have never taken it and suffered the real flu, do not take unless you are in a high risk group! | M | 28 | 4 days | 8/5/2009 | 4 | Sore throat runny nose temp up | Smashing headaches nothing will touch them,Awake most of the night | F | 32 | 5 days | 8/4/2009 |
