Has anyone taken Tamiflu?
My Dr. wants me to take Tamiflu for the swine flu, I've had all the symptoms for almost 48 hours. The test results for my swine flu swab won't be back until Monday, but to be fully effective, I'd need to start Tamiflu right away. But I've heard TERRIBLE things about Tamiflu, like vomiting, hallucinations, etc. Has anyone here taken Tamiflu, and how did it effect you?

Wow, this is bizarre. I have never heard the word "Tamiflu" until about ten minutes ago when a friend mentioned it in an email...and here it is again. |

You can search the web for the list of side affects. They are sever in many people. |

Yes, so I've read. All in all, I am scratching my head as to why some Dr.'s prescribe it. My Dr. seemed to feel it could help, as the H1N1 is potentially fatal. Either option doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.  |

I haven't taken it, but a friend and her 3 kids recently all had the flu and all took it without any side effects.

My daughter and one of her kids were diagnosed with swine flu and the DR prescibed Tamiflu for the whole family.
So far as I know, they suffered no ill-effects from it and were all up and running on 8 cylinders the next day.
