Hi All

Just wanted to ask a question about whether you feel your daily flu dose 'kicking in'. I take my 20mg flu every day at about 7.30am. Then between 9.30 and 10 I start to get rushes. By this I mean a buzzy feeling all over my body. Anyone else get anything similar?

    Morning Geoff,

    I am somewhat happy you posted what you have as I thought it was me going mental!!

    I take my pill at around 8am, then at about 9 - 9:30am i feel dizzy and faint and lose concentration. I wasnt sure if it was my old pill wearing off or the new one \"kicking in\", but i am really glad its not just me.

    This damn Flu is meant to help us - ah well, roll with the punches i guess.

    All the best

    Hi Hightower.

    Thanks for replying. Glad It's not just me. I suppose it offers some reassurance that the flu is at least doing something. I've just entered week 6 and although I feel a bit better I'm still not my normal self. Like a lot of you I'm considering going back to the Doctor and seeing if he can increase me to 40mg.

    Take care

    Hi Geoffa31

    I totally understand what you are saying. I've been on flu coming on a year now but remember at the beginning, first two months or so, about an hour after taking flu i'd have a strange feeling, warm buzzy feeling all over my body. It felt to me like a calming feeling.

    Hope flu starts to help you soon..

    Hi Sam

    Yes does feel nice as long as it doesn't go on for too long or you're not doing anything important as it can sometimes be very distracting!

    Me neither, sounds fun if disconcerting though. Probably missed out on that one, pity.

    Suppose everyone reacts differently.
