| 4 | Diagnosed with influenza virus | worked great the first day i took it my flu symptoms started to disapear but the night of my last dosage i broke out in a serious rash from my feet to my neck my rash was raised and a little itchy had rash for three days and still have it | M | 23 | 5 days | 1/30/2008 | 1 | FLU | VOMITING,DIAREHIA,since of confusion,insomnia,hallucinations. | First time in my life ive ever had any side effects from a drug. If id known then what i do now i wouldnt have taken it. It did relieve some of the symptoms of the flu but for me the side effects are worse. | M | 49 | 2 days | 1/30/2008 | 1 | Flu | I was prescribed TamiFlu on Day 2 of my flu after being diagnosed by my physician. After 2 days of taking this drug, I was still running a fever of over 102 and began experiencing uncontrollable crying and sobbing, unexplained anger and fear. I thought I had lost my mind and had to be given a medication to calm me down so I could rest. It was horrible!!!!!! | Very expensive and seeing that I stayed sick for 8 days, I do not see the value in this medication at all. | F | 50 | 5 days | 1/28/2008 | 5 | Influenza | Absolutely none...MUST be taken on a full stomach! | temp 102 day tamiflu started, 103 at second dose, 100 at third, 97.8 at 4th...back to work, feel tired but good. | M | 38 | 2 days | 1/27/2008 | 1 | Dr. presc. for flu | Terrible vomiting, heaving, nausea. | In less than 24 hours I went from no symptoms to rather severe flu symptoms. Went to the doc, prescribed tamiflu to help me get over the flu faster. The price was insane, but in weighing the cost of being sick (I don't get sick pay at my job) and having to take extra time off work... it seemed like the better choice. Within 30 minutes of taking the drug I was horribly nauseus and had to lay down with something to continuously vomit/heave in to. The vomiting side effect experience lasted roughly 4 hours - intermittent vomiting/heaving/nausea. In addition to the 4 hours of pure hell I experienced (thank you tamiflu), it had worsened my headache so much that it was nearly unbearable for the next 12 hours, and the stress of the heaving popped blood vessels in my eyes... which is just nasty. I don't care if it costs me a few extra days off work - I can't go through that again! The flu is far better than tamiflu! My husband was given the med to take in a smaller dose to keep from get | F | 26 | 1 days | 1/26/2008 | 5 | Got the flu | Very little side effects. Occasional mild nausea after dosage. | This drug worked great for me. I'm really impressed. I woke up one Sunday morning after feeling fine the day before with a temp of 102+. Later in the day it got to 103.5. I called my Dr and got a tamiflu prescription. I hardly made it to the pharmacy to pick it up but by the next day I had no more fevers or chills. Within 72 hours I was back to my running. By day 5 I basically felt 100%. | F | 47 | 5 days | 1/25/2008 | 5 | the FLU | May have kept me awake AFTER it wiped my flu out. | I took this within 4 hours of waking up with the flu. Woke up at 8am and had taken my first dose by noon. I noticed people are complaining of body aches, nausea and diarrhea .. those ARE flu symptoms ?? I had those symptoms before I took the Tamiflu, so of course I had them after that. I slept for 16 hours and yes I did experience some bad dreams that night but do remember that I was taking decongests that night to relieve symptoms, which dehydrate in turn can cause bad dreams. The next night I did experience a hard time sleeping, but it may have been because I slept for 16 hours the night before. I think the symptoms were because of having the FLU itself. BUT let me tell you I felt much better within 24 hours, almost perfect within 36 hours and 100% as if it never happened within 48 hours of taking it. It worked great !! Last year the flu had me in bed for a week, this was very effective for me. It is debatable if you can blame my side effects on the Tamiflu, but if you coul | F | 36 | 3 days | 1/18/2008 | 5 | Positive Rapid Flu test | None | I was in bed for 2 days with fever and just wanted to sleep. It felt like I was hit by a truck. After the first dose, I woke up and was able to get out of bed. Right before taking the 2nd dose I was able to eat. I was very impressed. | M | 41 | 5 days | 1/17/2008 | 1 | influenza | Had bad dreams, very expensive for not doing anything for my flu symptoms, also everything I ate tasted funny. | F | 39 | 3 days | 1/11/2008 | 1 | Tested Positive Flu | My hands and feet have gone numb after taking each dosage. Very strange sensation and I will not take any more. | Once I associated the sensation with taking the Tamiflu I did further research and highly recommend it to anyone before taking it. I know Wikipedia is a user-built database but there are legitimate links to reliable research. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamiflu | F | 54 | 2 days | 1/8/2008 | 3 | flu | deep sence of depression. Anxiety attacks bad indegestion. | Started taking on Friday, by Saturday felt better. On Sunday at noon, got a bad panick attack that lasted past monday. Monday morning felt chest pains, went to Dr. He took me off the medication and confirmed that it was the culprit.Gave me Lanzoprazole for stomach. It is Monday night and I still feel depress and my stomach still hurts. I hope it goes away soon. | M | 44 | 2 days | 1/7/2008 | 4 | flu diagnosis | diarrhea with the first dose, with increased problems after more doses. | I have been sick with a 104F fever and couldn't get out of bed for the first day to even see the doctor. After three doses of Tamiflu, I may/may not be better as it is too early to determine. However, the diarrhea has increased with each dose. This stuff better make me feel better soon since it has added more misery. | F | 30 | 2 days | 1/6/2008 | 3 | influenza | On second day of tamiflu I woke up itching and had developed a skin rash from my ankles to my knees. However, I had been able to get influenza diagnosed the first day I came down with it and my doctor put me on Tamiflu immediately so that the duration of my flu was reduced. I felt better from the flu symptoms in 48 hours after starting Tamiflu | F | 48 | 3 days | 11/8/2007 | 3 | flu diagnosis | Vomiting & explosive diarrhea stopped after 1st day, nausea didn't, headache, slight vertigo, mild abdominal pain, sore throat (probably due to alot of drainage), extremely runny nose, itchy inside ears, watery eyes (on 2nd day of medication). On third day, still had all of the above with exception of throat not so sore & used about 1/4 of a box of tissue instead of a whole box! | F | 44 | 5 days | 11/7/2007 | 3 | positive flu test | Severe, severe diarrhea, nausea, vomiting,stomach cramps. I was supposed to take Tamiflu for five days, but quit after the second day. | This drug really bothered my dad last year when he got the flu, but we didn't realize it was the medicine. I was prescribed this for the flu. The side effects were so bad for me, I won't take it again, unless I feel like I am dying. I started vomiting after my second dose and pretty much stayed by the toilet with diarrhea. I am feeling better, now, but my stomach is so sick, I am eating crackers and sprite. I can't go back to work because of the side effects. | F | 32 | 2 days | 11/1/2007 | 5 | suspected flu | Worked wonders with NO side effects. | Prior to taking Tamiflu, I was feeling awful, with my pulse racing just standing & even more when I showered. My body ached, exhausted & I was also heavily perspiring. After my 1st dose of Tamiflu, I started to feel much better. After the 2nd dose I was able to get out of bed & attend a party. Symptoms pretty much disappeared by then. | F | 50 | 5 days | 7/10/2007 | 1 | Flu | Diarrhea,insommnia,depression | Tamiflu helped the flu symptoms,but the side affects are horrible. Will not take again | F | 33 | 5 days | 4/1/2007 | 1 | Suicidal acts, especially in teens nad preteens | I am writing on behalf of Japanese consumers. Today, Japanese government decided that Tamiflu should not be given to othewise healthy children who are 10 or older. In this season alone, two 14-year-olds jumped to their deaths from their high-rise apartments, and two 12-year-olds have broken their legs after jumping from balconies here in Japan. The government had concluded that tamiflu was safe after a study conducted last year, however it was recently discovered that the doctors involved in the study have been receiving donations from Chugai, the sales body of Tamiflu in Japan. | F | 38 | | 3/20/2007 | 1 | flu | hallucinations, night terrors | Oh my God! This drug is horrible. My 14 year old took this last night and woke up terrified that someone was trying to kill him. He thought he was going to die. It happened again when he finally went back to sleep. Lasted about 5 minutes each time after waking up. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!! | M | 14 | 1 days | 3/16/2007 | 5 | Flu, Cough | Mild nausea .. almost puked on first dose. Also had mental fog going on. Concentration was difficult but my doctor forwarned me it makes you 'loopy'. | This stuff ROCKS. I was running a 104 Fever ... felt like I was doing to die, was snapping at everyone, etc. I got home and took my first dose along with a dose of Robotussin for my cough. I woke up 3 hours later and my fever dropped from 103.7 to 99.3. It fluctuated a little after that but remained under 100. Body Aches were gone. I was sweating like a mad man but that was probably the fever breaking. | M | 26 | 5 days | 2/26/2007 |
