User Comments about Tamiflu

01 Jan 2015	I had 102 fever, severe coughing and body aches. Called and left a message for my Dr. who called in Tamiflu. Sounded reasonable to me after watching all the TV commercials and seeing the ads. Husband to pharmacy, $122 with insurance card. (!!) Within 30 minutes of first dose - violent vomiting, nausea and dizziness for almost 3 hours. It was a nightmare. You couldn't pay me to take this stuff again. I'd rather take the hit and have the flu. I have 9 of 10 pills left to unload on some sucker somewhere. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

05 Oct 2011	Good drug. Made me really sleepy though. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending... I agree to the Terms of Use
05 Oct 2011	It was a great drug! I cleared up all my symptoms really quickly with few side effects. My insurance also covered almost all of it, which made it a lot cheaper. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

09 Aug 2011	when taking the Tamiflu I was extremely sick and thought that none of the medictions that I was taking for my flu was helping until I tried Tamiflu.
