Tripping on Tamiflu

The Obama administration has released 12.5 million of the nation's stockpile of 50 million courses of Tamiflu, a drug that has shown itself at least initially to be effective against the flu virus. The Pentagon has readied 7 million courses for military personnel. {more}

I'm not one to tell anyone what to do but my one experience with Tamiflu taught me 'never again.' Would I encourage loved ones to take it? Not a chance.

Having long enjoyed a good altered state of consciousness, I learned that tripping on Tamiflu may not be for everyone.

The story is from 1999 when I had what I found out later was pneumonia. I went to a doctor three times, who later had his license taken away for drug addiction . The second time he said "I know what to do." It was a script for Tamiflu, a newly approved 'miracle' drug.

The second night of taking it was the most unusual state of mind I have ever experienced.
Words really can't describe it. I was in a place where humans can't function. A realization that we are just a combination of cells held together in the most fragile way imaginable. A sense that we are always on the edge of death in a body that defies explanation. A place where words have little meaning. I actually thought it was my last night on earth and was seeing the never never land between life and death. After several hours, I finally came 'down.'

I recovered after being sent to an oncologist with the referral doctor's words that I probably had leukemia. After an x-ray, a correct diagnosis and 7 days of intravenous antibiotics I was fine.

Tamiflu has been linked to convulsions, delirium and bizarre deaths. From what I experienced, I'll have to err on the side of caution and take my chances without it.

As with all big pharma drugs and the profiteers who push them, it's let the buyer beware.
