| 3 | suspected swine flu | My 10 year old son started Tamiflu and flu symptoms subsided but he suffered severe stomach pains, diarrhoea, tiredness and vomiting. He had all but one tablet in the course of Tamiflu. 3 days after stopping the Tamiflu he still has bad stomach pains!! | Would think twice about the benefits of taking Tamiflu particularly for a child. | M | 10 | 4.5 days | 7/28/2009 | 2 | suspected swine flu | out of body experiences,headache, depression, anxiety | i was diagnosed suspected by my doctor as i had 4 symptoms and my son had also, we both started the tablets at the same time, he seemed fine, although he was clammy at night, i still feel anxious and scared to leave the house, i couldn't stop crying and caused numerous arguments with my partner over this, i still have a pounding headache. | F | 22 | 5 days | 7/28/2009 | 2 | suspected swine flu | Itchy scalp and legs. Feeling diorientated and dizzy, terrible headcahes and fear of what might happen next. Most severe is the fatigue and tiredness legs feel like they could just buckle underneath me! Tried to go on a short walk as so bored of being stuck inside, had to go back after a few minutes. Usually very active never felt\like this before was worrying maybe had sudden onset of ME or MS until I read this. Wish i had seen this before, would not have taken Tamiflu!! Have one more tablet to take. | Take with Caution - read all this first make an informed decision. It was all too easy to get, worry that may be a mis diagnosis! | F | 41 | 4 days | 7/28/2009 | 1 | Suspected Swine Flu | Crying, not sleeping, irritable, not wanting to go to sleep | My daughter 20 months old was prescribed this over the phone. 1st night after taking tamiflu and she was waking up every hour or so screaming uncontrollably. Now even though she is shattered she goes nuts at the sight or mention of a bed. She is normally so well behaved and laughing all the time, she is now a different kid because of this. She is over the worst of the flu but is now very irritable and just doesn't want to sleep. Never has she had hysterics like this, even when she has been sick and had ear infections before, or chest infection. This drug is evil, don't give it to your kids. Now she has developed a rash as a side effect. I would never have given it had a read some of the other comments. | F | 2 | 2 days | 7/28/2009 | 1 | Diagnosed with Influenza A | My 4 yr old daughter went to her Pediatrician's office and was given the swap nose test because my chief complaint was constant coughing, high fevers, and aches and pains. I will not recommend this drug to anyone. My daughter was screaming constantly, very irritable, delusional, she was complaining about feet aches below the knee. I think with all of the brillant young scientists out today and graduating from outstanding colleges and universities they need to be given a chance to research new drugs. I was told this was the ONLY option for Influenza A (flu) and H1NL such a shame with all of the technology in the us today and all over the world. | I will not recommend any minor child to take this drug at all. My daughter was screaming constantly, very irritable, delusional, she was complaining about feet aches below the knee from the TAMIFLU. | F | 4 | 2 days | 7/28/2009 | 5 | swine flu | Stomach Cramps, dry mouth, slightly hazed. | I think it is fair to say that Tamiflu definately has side effects but I think the benefits are outweigh them. If you want to get rid of your swine flu quick then take it. The only reason I took it was that I was due to go on holiday, if it wasnt for that then I would probably just take normal pain relief. | M | 26 | 5 days | 7/27/2009 | 4 | swine flu suspected | Drowsiness, lethargy, stomach cramps, very strange dreams | It helped reverse the flu-like symptoms very quickly. | F | 44 | 5 days | 7/27/2009 | 3 | 'Suspect Swine Flu' | Nose bleeds/ Short of breathe which set off my asthma / fuzzy head / feeling depressed and closed in / Insomnia / Burning blister above eyebrow.. possible skin reaction | I have not suffered from any sickness from this as i ate a full meal before then taking the medication. I still feel a little fuzzy | F | 27 | 5 days | 7/27/2009 | 1 | suspected swine flu | Only started taking tamiflu yesterday, after being perscribed it due to symptoms such as fever & chills, headache,aching joints and stiffness, diahorrea. Since then I have only taken 2 tablets but the results have been unbearable. The stomach cramps that have come about since starting on the meds are unbearable, I am in agony and sometimes screaming in pain, alongside even more severe diahorrea than before. I know the diahorrea may be due to the flu itself, but the stomach pains are definately due to tamiflu. Wil not be taking it anymore, awful! | I wish I had just started to get over the flu myself with water and paracetomol. I hope these side effects dont stay in my system for too long. | F | 20 | 2 days | 7/27/2009 | 2 | Suspected Swine Flu | I had severe stomach cramps, diarrhoea, felt sick, chest pains, headache, feelings of anxiety/depression, hot/cold temperature, dry mouth, constantly tired, hallucinating, not able to sleep and when I did get to sleep I had nightmares. I phoned up NHS Direct twice and my GP three times. They said that the symptoms were side effects of the tamiflu tablet. They then prescribed me with Prednisolone steroid tablets for my chest, as the tamiflu bought on my asthma and I had to increase my intake of inhalers. The second day I still had severe stomach cramps and diarrhoea so had to phone my GP again and then they prescribed me with Buscopan as it also bought on IBS. | I would recommend you try to just take paracetamol, drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest as the Tamiflu drug made me feel ten times worse. I am still in bed now and have been for five days. The doctors and NHS are only in most cases saying "Suspected Swine Flu". Take this medicine with caution if you decide to take and suffer from asthma or a bad stomach. | M | 34 | 5 days | 7/26/2009 | 1 | people at school had H1N1 at school | I had 'out of body' experiences, i was REALLY weird..they thought i was going mental so i even had to go to a physchiatrist!!! they thought i could have had my drink spiked so i had to have a drug test... lots of mood swings...losss of memory | I would not EVER take tamiflu aagain even if I was paid. would have much prefered to have the flu!!!!!!!!!sscariest thing that has ever happened to me.....LASTED FOR 2 WEEKS!!!!!! | F | 16 | 10 days | 7/26/2009 | 1 | Influenza | Nightmares and disorientation | Our son has been taking Tamiflu for several days and has had two nights of bad nightmares where he is disoriented and screaming out even when we wake him up and try to console him. He appears terrified moreso than any typical bad dream that he would have. Note this is also occurring after his fever is gone for the past day or so which would indicate these are not flu symptoms. Had we known what others have reported on this site, we wouldn't have given it to him. | M | 11 | 5 days | 7/26/2009 | 4 | Swine Flu | Nightmares !! | Seems to have helped the flu symptoms straight away, especially the cough but I wasn't expecting the bad nightmares I had all night. Feeling irritable this morning. | M | 44 | 1 days | 7/25/2009 | 3 | Swine Flu | 9 year old son was prescribed Tamiflu as doctor thought his symptoms indicated Swine Flu. Not sure if he just got better or if the Tamiflu made him better, I kept him off school, kept him warm, and gave him little bits of food often, and anything he felt like eating, his appetite was very poor, and is usually very good. He was confirmed positive for Swine Flu. | I found he was very quiet, played on the floor with toys like a toddler, and wasnt at all interested in the usual playstation, nintendo etc that he loves to play if off school sick. Very confused state, bewildered, and wish I had read this website before we started. Only have 2 more doses to take, but thankfully no nausea or leg aches. Bit frightening when you read all this, surprised its an approved drug with these kind of side effects. Tina - Australia | M | 9 | 4 days | 7/25/2009 | 1 | suspected swine flu | shortness of breath, anxiety, depression, fuzzy head | M | 31 | 2 days | 7/25/2009 | 1 | dr. recomended | hallucinations,loss of appetite,no sleep,anxiety,depression,diarrea,heart pallpations,disorientated,schizo behavior | would never take again worst week of my life | F | 47 | 5 days | 7/25/2009 | 5 | suspected swine flu | None. It was a doddle. | I was terrified of taking this drug after reading the comments on here but Tamiflu was one of the easiest drugs I've ever had to take. I took it as I have underlying health problems including adrenal insufficiency. I took every tablet after 2 slices of toast to avoid nausea and stomach upset. I accept nausea seems to be definitely a problem for some but most of the other claimed side effects could just be the effects of the flu itself. Finally if you think it is causing severe side effects you can stop the drug immediately without consulting a doctor - it says so on the packet. | F | 39 | 5 days | 7/24/2009 | 4 | suspected swine flu | hallucinations, dizziness, vagueness, anxiety, heart palpitations & unable to sleep | I am only on day 2 of taking Tamiflu, so I have taken 4 capsules. The flu symptoms have definitely improved but since last night I have been hallucinating, am very dizzy and quite disoriented & tonight I began to feel very anxious & emotional and cannot sleep at all. I'm wondering how my recovery will progress if I can't get to sleep. | F | 33 | 2 days | 7/24/2009 | 2 | son tested pos for Influenza A | Feeling of doom, shortness of breath, lose stools, headaches, feeling out of control, agitated. | My son went in on Monday and was identified with Influenza A, Tuesday I started a dry cough on Wednesday I was coughing alot went in and was given Tamiflu because of my son. I took my first dose and later follow up with sudafed I thought I was going to jump out of my skin. Went to the doctor the next day and was told that it might of been the sudafed. To continue with the tamiflu and was given other meds. I took my second dose will in the hospital was a little jumping but not much. I then took my next dose around midnight went to a sleep but not restful. I then took my cough medicine and tessalon pearl. That's when it got scary I began to feel out of control crying for no reason, short of breath and feeling of doom. Call doctors office was told to leave msg was connected to the ER and was told to go to the nearest one because of shortness of breath. I got dress don't remember how and was asked by my other son where I was going I couldn't remember the whole conversation but I was not all there according to him. He took me in, they took a chest xray and told me to continue on meds. I am not taking the tamiflu if I am going around not remembering what I am doing and feeling panicky. This drug needs more research and look at adults as well as children. | F | 51 | 2 days | 7/24/2009 | 1 | Diagnosed TypeA H1N1 | On the fourth day I was experiencing:- chest pains, confusion, tingling arms and fingers, high blood pressure. Called in Paramedics who rushed me to hospital with suspected Heart Attack. Went through all the tests and was released 5 hours later. My GP happened to say "I wonder if it's the Tamiflu" Google search found this page and BINGO. Tamiflu is now down the toilet, and I hope this feeling disappears quickly | Our Health Service is giving this to anyone that gives the right answers to the questions. These side effects are going to cost our country a fortune. Steer clear this drug is dangerous. It isn't worth taking the risk. | M | 53 | 4 days | 7/24/2009 |
