Tamiflu symptoms and conditions

I forgot to mention in my earlier post that I had also taken LEVAQUIN for what was thought to be strep throat a year ago this past April. I was put on LEVAQUIN for 5 days and I was still horribly ill. They decided that I had Influenza and gave me Tamiflu. The Tamiflu seemed to work and clear up the congestion and other flu like symptoms. The bad part was that I was so weak and fatigued that I couldn't even do the simplest things for months later. I also suffered from frequent PVC's and chest tightness. I still get frequent PVC's now and then. I look back on all of the things that happened a year ago and what is going on with me now and I realize that it can't just be a coincidence!

Thanks for all the information on this site. What a shocking "heads up" I have received! My daughter is 10 and has been taking Singulair since she was about 5 years old. (She has also been on Claritin since she was 2-3 years old and hasn't seemed to have a problem with it.) My daughter has had unexplained headaches, stomach aches/pains, nausea, mood swings, depression...a lot of the same side effects that people are listing here, for years. I knew there had to be something going on, but couldn't figure out what it was. I recently started suspecting Singulair, before I even knew about all of the recent side effect links to it. I took it upon myself to start halfing her doses, and she says the headaches are starting to go away, so there must be some connection. Her pediatrician has actually RECOMMENDED taking her OFF of Singulair for about a year now, but he never explained WHY, and every time I tried to get her completely off of it, her allergy problems flared up again. So I didn't know what to do. I think now though, it's time to find an alternative. Thanks to everyone for sharing. It's nice to know that I wasn't crazy for suspecting Singulair after all. Bless all of you (and my daughter) who have suffered with this.

*One other note: My daughter was recently diagnosed with an early stage of the flu and was given TAMIFLU for treatment. This med made the headaches, stomach aches, and mood swings MUCH worse. She cried every day, and her crying was not because she had been sick. I didn't even finish giving her the full course of the med. I couldn't, it was hurting her so badly.
