| 1 | preventive | first 3 days had vomiting and just plan feeling tired. As if I had the flu. Never had fever. After that had hives below the knees. Had crippling pains to leg. Fast heart rate. Just tired for days dragging for a few weeks. Have never felt this bad in my life. Depressed, afraid and sick for weeks. | Dont take this medication. Have had LABS done since I cont to feel bad and told may have an AUTOIMMUNE DIS. All started with the TAMIFLU... Does TAMIFLU TRIGGER. OTHER DISESES????? | F | 39 | 6 days | 6/18/2009 | 1 | Preventative to reduce flu effects | Stomach cramps, other body torso pains. | I'm responding because I started taking tamiflu 4 days ago as a preventative measure and have developed stomach cramps, some torso pains and cramps. Don't know if the torso cramps and pains are attributable to tamiflu. I stopped taking tamiflu today. I'm 73. My suggestions: 1. If your situation is very bad, call the tamiflu company or email as "urgent" and tell them what the situation is. Ask if they have any remedy. 2. Call or get in touch with the CDC in Atlanta, give them the lo-down. Ask for remedies. 3. Find a good doctor. 4. Go to a hospital for help as needed. In the interim: 5. Try to cleanse your body system with hydration. Take soup portions all day long. This should consist of broth's, vegetables and some easily digestible proteins such as small and not a lot of quantity of chicken (buy a small cooked one and take shreds) or white fish such as flounder, garlic, bok choi (Chinese cabbage - any will do), scallions, 3 table spoons of parsley, etc. Do use a small amount of salt, to keep up your electrolytes. Drink, or soup up lots of fluids 3 to 5 or 6 times a day. Clean out your system. Stay away from binding foods such as bread, crackers, beef, pork or even lamb with or without soup, do eat a few crackers that were made with an oil to help lubricate on elimination. I am using a package of Ramen noodles. I triple the amount of water called for in my soup pot as too much salt affects my blood pressure. I use only half | 73 | 4 days | 6/18/2009 | 1 | Cared for pt who was pos swine flu | Days 1-4 agitation and upset stomach worse on days 3 and 4. Day 5 became paranoid, very agitated, unpleasant body buzz, dizzy. Day 6 was similar but worse. After day 6 I was scared and stopped taking drug despite the fact that my wife is pregnant. | My symptoms would be really bad starting 45min after taking med, then last about 3 hours. After that was just a feeling of not feeling right. Lack of focus, moody, agitated, somewhat depressed. I never developed any flu symptoms which is what the manufacturer is trying to blame on these side effects. | M | 29 | 6 days | 6/18/2009 | 3 | flu symptoms | headache (migraine-like), dizziness, insomnia, | I shouldn't have been driving a car using this medicine. My flu symptoms (fever, chills, aches) went away quickly but was left with this disoriented, dizzy feeling. I'm going to stop taking this medicine now. I can't take care of my family with these side effects. | F | 44 | 3 days | 6/16/2009 | 1 | swine flu contact | my husband and i had rash on our legs, very itchy. i also developed urinary incontinence. even though i stopped the last 2 doses of medicine, i still have the symptoms for over a week. | i don't have the flu, but was required to be hospitalized for being a swine flu contact in Hong Kong. i didn't have a choice but to take it. had i known the side effects, i would not have taken it. | F | 50 | 8 days | 6/16/2009 | 4 | Flu Symptons Chills Fever, Headache | Seems like the Flu is over but the fatigue is continuing on, slight disorientation, my video game score dropped 25% | I know I took Tamaflu the last time the flu went around in 2008 and my wife did not.

The day after I took the last pill I developed a skin rash. It started on my ankles and my arms and slowly worked its way up my thighs and biceps and its still spreading. Its very itchy! My doc didn't know what it was he told me to take zyrtec. Its been 4 days and its still spreading. Any suggestions? | This medicine sucks! | F | 25 | 5 days | 6/6/2009 | 1 | influenza a | extreme nausea, extreme headache, mild depression | I would never take it again, I took one dose and the nausea was worse than the flu symptoms themselves, I would not recommend this to anyone. | F | 15 | 1 days | 6/3/2009 | 1 | Flue like symtoms | Nausea, extreme fatigue, chills, fingers joint pain, muscle pain, difficulties to breath, pressure on chest, heart beat raising for no reason, Severe headache (tylenol not effective) and depression like feelings. | I'm 31 years old, not used to any medication. Today, I'm style experiencing some of those symptoms, 7 days after the last pill. My pharmacist told me that it was normal to feel extremely fatigue at least 5 days after taken the medication. I went back to my doctor today and she told me i must have something else (never say a word about the possible side effect...).I'm going for more blood test tomorrow....but after reading all the comments here....I see why i experienced all those "stranges" feelings. I will still go take a blood test tomorrow, BUT NO MORE TAMIFLU FOR SURE!!!!! | F | 31 | 5 days | 6/1/2009 | 5 | Influenza A | "DAVEY" - Approximately after 4 days of what we thought were allergies and continuous 103 degree tempreatures and flu like symptoms, my 6 year old son was prescribed Tamiflu. He has been on it now for 3 days and without any incident what so ever so far. | "DAVEY" - I have read the various comments on the website and have tried to analyze the various ages / time taken / etc. What I will do is start my reports with my name - "DAVEY" - for the remaining 7 days of his prescription so that you can analyze his progress just in case anything changes. Fingers crossed he is recovering very well so far. I pray nothing goes wrong. Dad. | M | 6 | 3 days | 5/27/2009 | 5 | Flu | Queasy stomach, but that could just be the Flu. People are reporting side effects like fever, nausea, upset stomach...you know those are flu symptoms, right? Tamiflu isn't supposed to make the flu go away, it only speeds up the general process of being ill with it. | This is the 2nd case of a flu I've had this year, and the 2nd time I've been on Tamiflu. In both cases, my fever has come way down and most of the nausea subsided within 24 hours of the first dose. If there are any mild side effects, I'll take em. Anything beats a fever of 102-103. | M | 26 | 5 days | 5/25/2009 | 3 | Swine Flu | Made me really sleepy and anxious. | M | 30 | 5 days | 5/25/2009 | 1 | Flu A | My 11 year old developmentally delayed daughter is still coming off this whacked out drug. She was given the first dose in the hospital and seconds after taking it she went from being alert, waving to the nurses... to not talking, grumpy~ almost mean, very unusual behavior for her. I brought up my concerns to the staff & they said she was just feeling bad, later after getting the prescription filled I poured over the warning pamphlet that came w/ it and not one mention of abnormal behavior as a side effect. | Saw the pediatrician today (2 days after my daughter was released from the hospital)he said "get her off the stuff" I would only recommended this in a life & death situation, she had better bounce back from this drugs effects or I am going to be one Mad as heck Mom in Arizona! | F | 11 | 4 days | 5/23/2009 | 1 | The flu type A | I feel very disoriented. I cant think straight and lost my appetite. I feel worse than what I did befoe tking it. Sweats at night and nightmares | F | 41 | 4 days | 5/21/2009 | 2 | my 7 year old son is | Severe leg cramps, cannot walk normally. | I feel terrible, my son took four days of Tamiflu and started complaining about his legs hurting on day 2. He has had "growing pains" in the past, so I dismissed it. Today when he woke up and could hardly walk, I went to look up side effects and found this is a common complaint. Wish I had looked sooner. | M | 7 | 4 days | 5/16/2009 | 1 | Flu symptoms, astmatic, exp to N1H1 | Severe nausea and vomiting within 30 minutes of taking pill. After first does, threw up once. After second dose, threw up for almost 2 hours. Had no nausea/stomach upset before taking pills, and none after stopping. | I felt worse after taking this medication. I wasted $90 on it and after two doses, won't take it again. I was also given a prescription for my 4 year old (preventative) but don't want to risk having him get sick to his stomach as well. | F | 33 | 2 days | 5/14/2009 | 1 | my 17month old son has type A flu | My 17month old son was on this medicine for three days. The first night he did not sleep well at all. The thrid day was hell, he woke up crying and wouldn't stop. No matter what I did he just wasn't happy. He stopped eatting and drinking. He had small red bumps on his face, neck, chest, back, arms, and tummy. I went on line to see what the side effects of this med was. After reading some of the other comments I started to cry. My poor baby, I'm sure he had other side effects that I could not see. | I called the doctor and was told to take him off. I asked if he needed another medicine, and was told no. So my question is why did his doctor even give it to him? Please do not put your baby through this. They are so small and can't tell us what they are feeling. | F | 1 | 3 days | 5/14/2009 | 1 | Flu | After taking tamiflu for 2 days, I was very sick, I had anxiety, insomnia, I was very dizzy and very depressed. I was crying for no reason. I also couldn't eat because I felt like vomiting all the time. I was told to take 1 pill twice a day for 5 days. I skipped the final day. It's been 3 days since I've been off tamiflu and I still feel a little dizzy with a headache and I still can't sleep. Although I feel much better than I did. Does anyone know when the side effects will go away? | DO NOT TAKE TAMIFLU!!! | F | 30 | 4 days | 5/11/2009 | 4 | prevention | I did not experience any side effects. | I go to the school that had the huge outbreak of "swine flu." I'm sure you've heard about it on the news. We were all given TamiFlu to take for preventitive measures. Everyone I know is taking it and no one has had any side effects. I was just wondering though, does anyone know if it effects the birth control pill? | F | 17 | 8 days | 5/6/2009 |
