I am a 33 year old male in good health with an active regiment. I woke up on Monday morning with a sore throat. By 11 am I felt the onset of fever, muscle/ joint soreness and chills so I went to the doctor at 4 pm who prescribed Tamiflu. I had a chocolate bar just to eat something in advance of taking Tamiflu (5:15 pm). I took the Tamiflu at 6:30 pm and around the same time, my fever hit 102.7, ... Show Full Comment

I got the flu and the same time I came down with giardia - I, unfortunately, "drank the water" - right after returning from vacation. 103.8 temp - but in two days was able to do some work from home. Pretty sick for a couple of days, but was told I had a 10 day bout coming without it. I give it a HIGH FIVE snd highly recommend it when you have to go to work!

My son has been experiencing horrible side effects to this drug. Hallucinations, fatigue dizziness. WILL NEVER GIVE THIS Again. He is only 2 and it has been the worst experience.

Comment:
I was prescribed Tamiflu within the first 24 hours of having the Flu. The Tamiflu made me extremely nauseous. The flu symptoms were not even as bad as my reaction to the drug. I paid $140 for Tamiflu. A complete waste of money, I will never take this awful stuff again.
