Great video. Thank you for sharing. This very moment I opened the package of Paxlovid and decided to research it. Now, I am unsure and not comfortable in taking this med. I honestly prefer a natural route to heal the body. Therefore, I will continue to take in fluids, vitamins, and plenty of rest. For the body aches I am taking ibuprofen and Tylenol 🙏🏽💕 May everyone be well and NOT anxious
My issue with the medication slowed down my heart rate super slow down in the 30s!! Turned out it was the Atenolol I take for my blood pressure, I guess Paxlovid has some beta blockers components. I have Covid right now, I'm just riding it out without Paxlovid just Coricidin for HBP patients. And it's horrible still, y'all pray for me I feel like I'm SLOWLY getting better. Good video bro gotta give it all we got.
Wow thank you for sharing. I just caught covid again and was thinking about taking Pxlvd. That feeling of heart doing its own thing and you can’t calm it is unsettling. I have to half dose most meds. I appreciate you sharing. Thank you 💪🏾
I’m about to finish my second dose of Paxlovid at 12:30am today, however 8 hours after my first dose I experienced a fast heart rate of about 120bpm for at least a min or so, and got anxious and nervous . I panicked a bit and had to calm down until my heart rate dropped normal to 62bpm. In the beginning of February 2023 I experienced the same increase in heart rate due to drinking too much coffee and went thru caffeine withdrawals that my body felt tired. I developed high blood pressure, high heart rate , anxiety and the jitters that come with withdrawals of caffeine. The first 7 days was the worst. I had the worst acid reflux, it was hard to sleep. 2 weeks later, I quit caffeine and recovered from all these caffeine symptoms. Comes July, and I had a bit chocolate and my heart rate goes up a tiny bit, start to feel anxious and nervous out of nowhere. At this point, I knew that I became sensitive to caffeine. Forward today , I’m feeling the same effects with Paxlovid. Not sure if it’s because of the side effects or maybe the non caffeinated tea that I’ve been drinking last night . Idk . I’m scared to take this medicine now.
@@CarlosGranados1 No, I don’t have GERD. I forgot to mention, I drank 4 cups of coffee within one hour. I did experience acid reflux at day 4 due to the excessive coffee and drinking too much water . 2 months later , my acid reflux went away. The reason why I had acid reflux in the beginning is because I drank too much water and diluted my stomach acid , which causes acid reflux . You want your stomach acid to be acidic so that the sphincter of the stomach closes preventing acid traveling to your esophagus. Apple cider vinegar helped me a lot with this issue . I also learned that hydrating is not just about drinking water, it’s about having the right amount of sodium in your body. I suggest drinking water with lemon. If your stomachs acid is too basic not to basic I should say for example like ph 4 or higher , then you will have acid reflux and you would not be able to digest your food properly.
I just finished my paxlovid yesterday. metal taste is gone now. Yea, my sitting heart rate is 43 beats a minute and if I exercised it can get to 120, but within a minute it goes back to 43. For me almost all my symptom's were gone the next day from starting the pills and have not returned. My wife did not get the pills and is still sick two weeks later. Last time I got covid I spent 6 hours in the ER and took a month and a have to recover. Thank you for your post. I am 65 and she is 66. GOD bless you in your journeys.
I am so happy that this made your covid journey so smooth! That is such a blessing. At least now you know what to do if you ever catch it again and it will be an easier process to recover. Thank you for sharing and I hope recovers fully soon. It would be a good idea for her to try it in the future herself and hopefully she has your same results. Much love!!
I’m 73 had COVID for 11 days now. first 6to 7days was the worst. Lost strength in my body hardly waik or get out of bed. Fell down and needed help to get up. Went to hosp. They sent me home after test. No meds. No respatory problems. Feel better now just a little week
I have a long history of tachycardia.. Started when I was pregnant with my youngest son, 35 years ago.. Yes it can be scary and I was a nurse for over 40 years.. I do deep breathing exercises.. It helps my anxiety.. Anxiety and tachycardia get in a circle that is hard to break.. I also get flutters in my chest.. So far taking 3 deep breaths and coughing out has always corrected it.. Having so many health issues young is stressful alone.. I now am 67 and my health issues list is long… Keeping you in my prayers.. Best thing I ever did was starting with a certified functional physician..
Wow thank you so much for sharing your story with me. I’m sorry you’ve dealt with so much yourself for so long! Listening to you give me hope for the long term 🙏🏼
@@CarlosGranados1 I highly suggest a functional physician to help deal with your GI issues and any related nutritional deficiencies.. Long term Nexium, etc can cause B12 deficiency and others.. I have had long term Covid also.. That has been terrible.. The exhaustion has been unreal..
Crazy. I along my wife and kids got Covid 11 days ago. Took paxlovid for 5 days and it’s actually help with symptoms right away. I was feeling good on day 6-10, I woke up feeling sick again today with a crazy stuffy/ runny nose making it hard to breath. I’m now worried it’s coming back with a vengeance l, I pray my wife doesn’t go through this as well.
How r u now? Did u feel better? My husband is on paxlovid niw and he said that paxlovid is helping. Im just worried aboutbthe rebound effect iv read about
@@janices3508 hi there, well I am finally better. The rebound for me was worse than the initial bout of Covid. When it started I only got one symptom a day. Every day was a different symptom but only one symptom. When I got the rebound I got all of them together which made me miserable. I was out for apx 4 more days and then began to get better day 7 of the rebound is when I felt a little more normal. From day 8-12 after rebound I actually couldn’t taste any thing. I barley got my taste back on new years thank God and had a cough for about 2 days. These past 2 days I’ve been back to normal even exercising. Funny thing is that my wife was totally fine after paxlovid and only has had a slight cough here and there. I would recommend not stressing. You guys will be fine and back to normal in no time just put your trust in God and keep a positive mindset. It’s very hard to do but remember that if it gets hard and you get emotional is totally ok and justified feel it out and then go back to trying. Stay persistent in a positive mentality. god bless you and your family and may you all get well soon. Happy new year.
Worked fantastic for me! Covid first time around with no Rx I had symptoms for 2 to 3 weeks after getting sick. Covid second time around hit me fast and furious. Immediately started taking Paxlovid the next day. My symptoms were mostly gone 2.5 days later - 5 doses in. Gave me mild digestive issues but nothing I couldn't handle, would rather have that than covid. Taking the medication with food and eating several small meals a day seemed to help. Pills were very smooth and easy to swallow.
So, after watching this video and just scanning through your channel. Is it that you have some kind of autoimmune thats leading to all those other issues? Just a thought.
I just got Covid for the 1st time ever. I’ve been fortunate by the grace of God not to have gotten it. At the height of COVID I read and started going higher on my vitamin D 3 intake about 20 thousand IUs a day with 200 mc of K2 along with 50 mc of zinc a day. I do have a pretty bad hiatal hernia that I’ve dealt with since 2003 and used to cause me very bad panic attacks. I didn’t find out about the hiatal hernia until 2014. If I would’ve known about it that it was causing my anxiety attacks and anxiety I could’ve taken a different approach. Anyhow they gave me Paxlovid for Covid along with steroids and an inhaler. I tested positive Saturday got the medication that night. It’s Thursday and just completed the treatment. My symptoms through COVID were very mild , pretty much just stiffness of the nose. No fever , no trouble breathing , no headaches, some fatigue. The doctor told me it was treated like a cold or flu now. But no issues with Paxlovid whatsoever thank God. Today I tested and I look to seem to get an almost negative test. Sunday I did up my vitamin D3 to 50,000 IUs and 500 mc of K2. I’ll be on that then get back to 20,000 IUs of D3 and 200 mc of K2. But that was my experience with Paxlovid. Hope everyone stays safe.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am sure you will ease many people's anxiety with story. I am glad that it helped you and that now you are recovering well. That is a blessing!
I was just diagnosed with Covid, and the doctors prescribed Paxlovid for me. After taking it once, I experienced a significant increase in anxiety and started having vivid dreams when I slept. At that point, I decided to stop taking it. I am hoping to recover from Covid without taking Paxlovid.
Thx for sharing, especially the part about the ambulance. I know when it's an emergency it's an emergency and we'll do whatever it takes, but when it's over and you start getting those medical bills, it's no joke. I'm glad your feed came across my searches because I was reading everything on Paxlovid and your way of telling your experience is what made it look believable. A side note...I'm not vaxed, it's not that I'm against it, it's just the way big pharma/politics pushed it on people, here's the kicker my doctor who's like a brother told me, if I didn't get the "jab" he couldn't be my doctor anymore and he was dead serious.
Than you for your words! the medical bills are ridiculous and that is such a downside when decided if you want the help or not. I get you. I had to make up mind mind on the vaccine myself. Everyone has the right to make those decisions and choose what's best for them.
I understand you experience was the worst to you but for those who were hospitalized in the beggining because they couldn't breath along with all of the other covid symptoms, it's worth it. I was hospitalized for 3 weeks I really thought I was going to die I made sure my will was in place via text because i couldnt talk. They told me that I was really bad. YES plaxovid works I literally am on my last day taking it and it has lowered my symptoms tremendously. I also have reactions to certain medications of how you are describing rushing of the heart and pain in my chest. This is definitely one person's experience and for those who were literally in the hospital fighting for their lives this option is there best but you must take it as soon as you feel symptoms or it will not work. p.S and yeah I agree the metallic taste sucks but it's better than dying lol
I am sorry you had to go through all of that. Btw I am not discouraging people from taking or encouraging to take anything because that is not my job. I make sure to let me people know it is my "experience" and I am no medical professional. The metallic taste is so strong, i felt like I was breathing it in!
@CarlosGranados1 I understand and same! can't get rid of it with liquids either. Glad to hear you are doing better the goal is to get better and stay healthy.
Speaking of the health part I fully understand man. I just recently got over a stomach bug. Throwing up and diarrhea and now Im positive with covid. Its hell on mental already dealing with anxiety severely.
Hi, I finished the 3rd dose, but I decided not to continue. I had anxiety and nausea, which made me feel even worse. True that not everybody can take strong medicine. If you cannot, dont take it. Listen to what your body tells you.
I had tachycardia when i had covid back in 2021, didnt take antivirals then. But now im on paxlovid and dont feel anything. When i just took it my kidneys had a sharp pain, but i haven't notice anything else so far, well except for the bitter tasting food. I have underlying illness.
Wow. I have anxiety and stomach issues. I am on 6th dose and I am having low heart rates which is scaring me. My anxiety has been good on the meds. But I am in the 60s to low 70s resting. I got the taste in my mouth but only at night. But no gi issues like some post on Reddit. But usually sitting I am upper 70s to mid 80s with my anxiety. Walking 100 to 115. Now I have been 80 to 100 max.
THANK FRIEND I JUST FINISHED WATCHING YOUR VEDIO AND THANKS GOD IT HELPS JUST NOW I STOP PAXLOVID BVOZ MY STOMACH BURNING AND HAVE METALLIC TASTE HAPPY NEW YEAR GOD BLESS US AMEN
Hey man, thank you sharing your experience, I assume you did not finish the treatment? I am currently in my 4th day with COVID and my Dr suggested this could be a treatment option. God Bless
yes, I am on my 4th day with covid and DR recommended this treatment too. I took one dosage. I don't feel weird or anything but I was so hesitant to take it...I just didn't want covid to mess up any more of my insides, like lungs. I feel okay from Covid. The worst were chills and fever on the first day and half. But, I have a stuffy nose and cough that's constant. dry cough It's calmed down now.
I am checking this out and my first day/night dose of paxlovid have been a nightmare. I get migraines and then i got covid and the headaches were awful with covid and then a regular headache turns into a migraine. I am so over migraines and headaches, that paxlovid seemed to be the fastest way out of them. Nope. It kicked in a massive headache and like a dumbass, i took the next dose but hoping it wouldn't be the same. It wasn't. It was worse. The pain behind my right eye, right temple and then extending into the back of my head and neck was intense. My partner has covid also and his snoring is awful, so between that, a fever, congestion, aches etc and then MIGRAINE PLUS COVID HEADACHE AND THEN PAXLOVID HEADACHE THROWN In...no...i was on the bathroom floor laying on my comforter and robe and anything else i could carry from the bedroom in one trip because I was not going back. I hadn't slept from the pain and no releif, so all night i was thinking i wpuld die on thw bathroom floor. I was fine with that but it neededbto happen asap. I finally crashed and woke and felt 10 percent better from the covid but i cant do the rest of paxlovid. I also have gerd and its made the metallic taste awful also. But for me, the pain in my head was ebough. I am 55. If covid wants me, okay. But i am not going to suffer from paxlovid on top of it.
Dude im exactly in the situation you explaining right now 😢😢😢 i also have very bad acid reflex and i also have very high rate during the fever...i took tylenol broke the fever right away i still have paxlovid right now but im probably not gonna take it
I’ve taken Tamiflu. It worked well for me years ago. Now I’m prescribed this for this variant. I have been vaccinated in the past but wasn’t for this one. So now I’m going to cautiously start it. My sister has fought with this strain for 3 weeks, but we are older. I’m in my mid 40’s and she’s in her 50’s.
Great video suffering from it and I have chrons and it disturbs my stomach and acid. Increases my heart rate bad metallic taste. Increase sweating. Everything u said was true
I got paxlovid when I tested positive for covid at the beginning of January - I came home with the meds which included a cough med as well - we are not vaxxed - my husband would not let me take it - i didn’t know anything about it - I’m glad I didn’t esp hearing you and reading your comments
Yeah there’s a lot of negative feedback unfortunately since it’s so early. But hopefully things improved so many people have relief without any side effects.
A good resource for questions related to Paxlovid (or any med), is a Pharmacist. Let them know your medical history, and they can help identify potential risk factors and side effects for you personally (based on your health history).
@@CarlosGranados1 Carlos, it did work out for me. I definitely didn’t like the taste left in my mouth. It got better cause I kept coughing up phlegm, and drinking a lot of water so it taste a little better.
@CarlosGranados1 im on the fence right now..Friday had bad chills, body aches, sore throat and Saturday went to the er and said inhad covid and was prescribed paxlovid..Sunday and today only have congested nose and chest with phlem, low fever and a lil discharge from my left eye..im debating if it's worth taking or should I just stick to vitamins
@CarlosGranados1 im on day 7 of covid and right now it's the nasal congestion, slight head pressure and ear pressure, small cough and still have discharge from my eyes at night ...ive been taking vitamin b12,c,d, and zinc twice a day so I'm hoping it helps because man this sucks
It was a nightmare for me, the medication made me feel worse than Covid, I took the first dose yesterday and I was vomiting all day, couldn’t take it anymore 😢! It’s horrible! Now I don’t know what to do!
I’m so sorry to hear that! If you had a bad reaction maybe you need stop taking it and talk to your doctor about it. After my first dose I had to stop!
On the website for healthcare professionals, the side effects are ugly. Don't know anyone prescribing it. I opted for hydroxycloroquine (min side effects) helped immediately, took z pac with and zinc
I have Covid currently and am a high risk patient for Covid complications. This is not a new medication, it is used to treat people with HIV and keeps them healthy and living fuller longer lives. Paxlovid was given to me and my husband. Within 24 hours we both felt relief and 48 hours in we are able to get out of bed and symptoms reduced in half. Side affects for me and my husband are nausea and insomnia. No bad taste for us or any other side affects. This medication does increase the levels of some medications in the body. So benzodiazepines and opiates are dramatically increased in blood levels. So reduce those medications and be careful with them. I just can’t believe how quickly this works. We have two days left of it and so far it’s been great for us both. All my family members have also taken it and all had good outcomes and very little side affects. My husband has severe GERD because the flap on his esophagus does not close. He has had no increase in his GERD on this. It’s a pretty small percentage of people that have more symptoms from the medication but it’s like any medication. They all have side affects so just educate yourself on it when you start it. I think videos like this scare people and discourage them from even trying a medication that could save their lives, keep them out of the hospital, and prevent long covid. This is a very rare side effect that this young man had. And very well could have been conflicting with other medications he takes. RX and over the counter meds and supplements. Please do your own research based on larger studies and facts. Talk to your doctor because this is an amazingly affective and well tolerated medication in most people. I’m extremely sensitive to medications and have several complex chronic health conditions. I’m always in the 2% of people that have odd side affects or complications and so far this has been amazing. Also this medication is free as the government pays for it, you just need to ask your pharmacist about the form you fill out. Otherwise is $25 for this 5 day course.
First of all the medication is new for covid treatment. Never said that the medication is new itself. Second of all, I am sharing my story and not trying to scare people away. I am just sharing my experience which is the same thing you are doing in the comment section, but when I do it I am "scaring and discouraging" people?? The hypocrisy... By the way, you try to discredit my GERD issues by stating that your husband had GERD because the "flaps" on his esophagus don't close. Do you have any idea how GERD even works?? all this research you are telling people to do but it seems like you need to do research yourself. Lastly the comment about this medication "could save their lives" is such crap. This medication is clearly given to patients whose COVID symptoms are mild and who can go home to recover. It is not saving their lives. In simple terms, the medications are helping people recover faster and have fewer symptoms. Again, maybe you need to take your own advice and keep doing some research to get your facts right. To everyone reading this response, please do your research and talk to your doctor to determine what is best for you as none of this is medical advice. But not the type of research this woman claims she is doing... This video was made to share my experience with the medication with a good heart while being transparent and honest. As always P&L!
That makes me mad. They did not tell me it was free and charged my insurance 1000.00 amd did not approve it till 10 days later too late. The pharmacy did not tell me i could get it free with a form
In Florida with insurance today the pharmacy co-pay would be $245.00 which we don’t have. No insurance it would be $1,000.00 😮my husband has covid19 after 3 weeks of relentless fever 🥵

A side note...I'm not vaxed, it's not that I'm against it, it's just the way big pharma/politics pushed it on people, here's the kicker my doctor who's like a brother told me, if I didn't get the "jab" he couldn't be my doctor anymore and he was dead serious.
Than you for your words! the medical bills are ridiculous and that is such a downside when decided if you want the help or not.
I get you. I had to make up mind mind on the vaccine myself. Everyone has the right to make those decisions and choose what's best for them.
I understand you experience was the worst to you but for those who were hospitalized in the beggining because they couldn't breath along with all of the other covid symptoms, it's worth it. I was hospitalized for 3 weeks I really thought I was going to die I made sure my will was in place via text because i couldnt talk. They told me that I was really bad. YES plaxovid works I literally am on my last day taking it and it has lowered my symptoms tremendously. I also have reactions to certain medications of how you are describing rushing of the heart and pain in my chest. This is definitely one person's experience and for those who were literally in the hospital fighting for their lives this option is there best but you must take it as soon as you feel symptoms or it will not work. p.S and yeah I agree the metallic taste sucks but it's better than dying lol
I am sorry you had to go through all of that. Btw I am not discouraging people from taking or encouraging to take anything because that is not my job. I make sure to let me people know it is my "experience" and I am no medical professional. The metallic taste is so strong, i felt like I was breathing it in!
@CarlosGranados1 I understand and same! can't get rid of it with liquids either. Glad to hear you are doing better the goal is to get better and stay healthy.
Speaking of the health part I fully understand man. I just recently got over a stomach bug. Throwing up and diarrhea and now Im positive with covid. Its hell on mental already dealing with anxiety severely.
Keep your head up brother! 💪🏼
Hi, I finished the 3rd dose, but I decided not to continue. I had anxiety and nausea, which made me feel even worse. True that not everybody can take strong medicine. If you cannot, dont take it. Listen to what your body tells you.
It’s good to hear someone else having a tough experience. Just lets me know I am not alone.
@CarlosGranados1 Hi Carlos, so how did you gone thru the covid? Did you take otc drugs only? And how long did it take to get tested negative?
HOW YOU FEEL AFTER STOPING? IN NEXT HOUR MY 3RD DOSE AND I WANT TO STOP THIS MEDICINE THIS WORST EXPIERINCE EVR
@@dhavalpatel-kw8tk did your heart rate increase as well ?
Took for 2 days it was awful don't take
I had tachycardia when i had covid back in 2021, didnt take antivirals then. But now im on paxlovid and dont feel anything. When i just took it my kidneys had a sharp pain, but i haven't notice anything else so far, well except for the bitter tasting food. I have underlying illness.
I hope it helped you!
Wow. I have anxiety and stomach issues. I am on 6th dose and I am having low heart rates which is scaring me. My anxiety has been good on the meds. But I am in the 60s to low 70s resting. I got the taste in my mouth but only at night. But no gi issues like some post on Reddit. But usually sitting I am upper 70s to mid 80s with my anxiety. Walking 100 to 115. Now I have been 80 to 100 max.
You should check that and see if it’s normal for you or even check after just in case you ever need to take that medication again
Follow gov guidelines and you will pay!
lol
THANK FRIEND I JUST FINISHED WATCHING YOUR VEDIO AND THANKS GOD IT HELPS JUST NOW I STOP PAXLOVID BVOZ MY STOMACH BURNING AND HAVE METALLIC TASTE HAPPY NEW YEAR GOD BLESS US AMEN
Happy New Year and God bless you!
Hey man, thank you sharing your experience, I assume you did not finish the treatment? I am currently in my 4th day with COVID and my Dr suggested this could be a treatment option. God Bless
That is correct I did not finish. I only took one dosage and that’s it.
yes, I am on my 4th day with covid and DR recommended this treatment too. I took one dosage. I don't feel weird or anything but I was so hesitant to take it...I just didn't want covid to mess up any more of my insides, like lungs. I feel okay from Covid. The worst were chills and fever on the first day and half. But, I have a stuffy nose and cough that's constant. dry cough It's calmed down now.
@@CarlosGranados1 I stumbled on your video right now.. I am going to stop mine too. Thanks for sharing your experience , man!
did you end up taking paxlovid?@@sohofootball08
I am checking this out and my first day/night dose of paxlovid have been a nightmare. I get migraines and then i got covid and the headaches were awful with covid and then a regular headache turns into a migraine. I am so over migraines and headaches, that paxlovid seemed to be the fastest way out of them. Nope. It kicked in a massive headache and like a dumbass, i took the next dose but hoping it wouldn't be the same. It wasn't. It was worse. The pain behind my right eye, right temple and then extending into the back of my head and neck was intense. My partner has covid also and his snoring is awful, so between that, a fever, congestion, aches etc and then MIGRAINE PLUS COVID HEADACHE AND THEN PAXLOVID HEADACHE THROWN In...no...i was on the bathroom floor laying on my comforter and robe and anything else i could carry from the bedroom in one trip because I was not going back. I hadn't slept from the pain and no releif, so all night i was thinking i wpuld die on thw bathroom floor. I was fine with that but it neededbto happen asap. I finally crashed and woke and felt 10 percent better from the covid but i cant do the rest of paxlovid. I also have gerd and its made the metallic taste awful also. But for me, the pain in my head was ebough. I am 55. If covid wants me, okay. But i am not going to suffer from paxlovid on top of it.
Man you really went through it! I can only imagine how bad that was for you. Hope you are feeling better today!
Sounds like you have tachycardia. I have tachycardia and my heart does that. Do you have a cardiologist because some medications can help.
I get tachycardia from external sources like this one. I have gotten my heart thoroughly check and it is healthy.
Dude im exactly in the situation you explaining right now 😢😢😢 i also have very bad acid reflex and i also have very high rate during the fever...i took tylenol broke the fever right away i still have paxlovid right now but im probably not gonna take it
I hope things got better with you!
Thank you for your time explaning your experience with paxlovid. Stay well.
Thank you!!
I’ve taken Tamiflu. It worked well for me years ago. Now I’m prescribed this for this variant. I have been vaccinated in the past but wasn’t for this one. So now I’m going to cautiously start it. My sister has fought with this strain for 3 weeks, but we are older. I’m in my mid 40’s and she’s in her 50’s.
I hope this medication helps you, if you decide to start taking it!
how was your paxlovid experience
Great video suffering from it and I have chrons and it disturbs my stomach and acid. Increases my heart rate bad metallic taste. Increase sweating. Everything u said was true
WOW! literally the same thing that happened to me.
I got paxlovid when I tested positive for covid at the beginning of January - I came home with the meds which included a cough med as well - we are not vaxxed - my husband would not let me take it - i didn’t know anything about it - I’m glad I didn’t esp hearing you and reading your comments
Yeah there’s a lot of negative feedback unfortunately since it’s so early. But hopefully things improved so many people have relief without any side effects.
A good resource for questions related to Paxlovid (or any med), is a Pharmacist.
Let them know your medical history, and they can help identify potential risk factors and side effects for you personally (based on your health history).
That is a very good point!
I have my box sitting next to me now. I’m going to eat first before I take this medicine. 🙏🏽
I hope it works out for you!
@@CarlosGranados1 Carlos, it did work out for me. I definitely didn’t like the taste left in my mouth. It got better cause I kept coughing up phlegm, and drinking a lot of water so it taste a little better.
@@mamasgirl8853 I’m so happy it worked out for you! I’m glad you are feeling much better, that’s a blessing 🙏🏼
@@CarlosGranados1 Me too. 💯🤗 Thank you Carlos.
@@mamasgirl8853 all love 🙏🏼
so if you didn't finish paxlovid what did you take to help you get over covid
@@retromeatball4402 nothing. Just let my immune system fight it
@CarlosGranados1 im on the fence right now..Friday had bad chills, body aches, sore throat and Saturday went to the er and said inhad covid and was prescribed paxlovid..Sunday and today only have congested nose and chest with phlem, low fever and a lil discharge from my left eye..im debating if it's worth taking or should I just stick to vitamins
how are you feeling now? did it get better?
@CarlosGranados1 im on day 7 of covid and right now it's the nasal congestion, slight head pressure and ear pressure, small cough and still have discharge from my eyes at night ...ive been taking vitamin b12,c,d, and zinc twice a day so I'm hoping it helps because man this sucks
I hope you get better soon! Dealing 7 days with this is so unfortunate
Thanks fo 20:31 r sharing I almost bought that stuff only reason I didnt is because they wanted $1600..00 (sixteen hundred) the price is insane!
That price is insane....
THANKS FRIEND FOR SHARING US UPUR EXPERIENCE FOR THIS MEDICINE
It's my pleasure!
It was a nightmare for me, the medication made me feel worse than Covid, I took the first dose yesterday and I was vomiting all day, couldn’t take it anymore 😢! It’s horrible! Now I don’t know what to do!
I’m so sorry to hear that! If you had a bad reaction maybe you need stop taking it and talk to your doctor about it. After my first dose I had to stop!
hi ok i have covid and the dr provide paxlovid for me and after reading the results im scared to take it
Yeah I don't blame you!
I have covid and asthma and they prescribed this to me I'm scared to take it
@@annamarie770 if you take it I hope it works for you!
On the website for healthcare professionals, the side effects are ugly. Don't know anyone prescribing it.
I opted for hydroxycloroquine (min side effects) helped immediately, took z pac with and zinc
Love to hear you had quick relief!
What state are you in?

I have Covid currently and am a high risk patient for Covid complications. This is not a new medication, it is used to treat people with HIV and keeps them healthy and living fuller longer lives. Paxlovid was given to me and my husband. Within 24 hours we both felt relief and 48 hours in we are able to get out of bed and symptoms reduced in half. Side affects for me and my husband are nausea and insomnia. No bad taste for us or any other side affects. This medication does increase the levels of some medications in the body. So benzodiazepines and opiates are dramatically increased in blood levels. So reduce those medications and be careful with them. I just can’t believe how quickly this works. We have two days left of it and so far it’s been great for us both. All my family members have also taken it and all had good outcomes and very little side affects. My husband has severe GERD because the flap on his esophagus does not close. He has had no increase in his GERD on this. It’s a pretty small percentage of people that have more symptoms from the medication but it’s like any medication. They all have side affects so just educate yourself on it when you start it. I think videos like this scare people and discourage them from even trying a medication that could save their lives, keep them out of the hospital, and prevent long covid. This is a very rare side effect that this young man had. And very well could have been conflicting with other medications he takes. RX and over the counter meds and supplements. Please do your own research based on larger studies and facts. Talk to your doctor because this is an amazingly affective and well tolerated medication in most people. I’m extremely sensitive to medications and have several complex chronic health conditions. I’m always in the 2% of people that have odd side affects or complications and so far this has been amazing. Also this medication is free as the government pays for it, you just need to ask your pharmacist about the form you fill out. Otherwise is $25 for this 5 day course.
First of all the medication is new for covid treatment. Never said that the medication is new itself. Second of all, I am sharing my story and not trying to scare people away. I am just sharing my experience which is the same thing you are doing in the comment section, but when I do it I am "scaring and discouraging" people?? The hypocrisy...
By the way, you try to discredit my GERD issues by stating that your husband had GERD because the "flaps" on his esophagus don't close. Do you have any idea how GERD even works?? all this research you are telling people to do but it seems like you need to do research yourself.
Lastly the comment about this medication "could save their lives" is such crap. This medication is clearly given to patients whose COVID symptoms are mild and who can go home to recover. It is not saving their lives. In simple terms, the medications are helping people recover faster and have fewer symptoms. Again, maybe you need to take your own advice and keep doing some research to get your facts right.
To everyone reading this response, please do your research and talk to your doctor to determine what is best for you as none of this is medical advice. But not the type of research this woman claims she is doing... This video was made to share my experience with the medication with a good heart while being transparent and honest. As always P&L!
It was a nightmare for me, I took the first dose yesterday, I keep still vomiting it, I can’t take it anymore! I don’t know what to do!
That makes me mad. They did not tell me it was free and charged my insurance 1000.00 amd did not approve it till 10 days later too late. The pharmacy did not tell me i could get it free with a form
In Alaska they want $1600
In Florida with insurance today the pharmacy co-pay would be $245.00 which we don’t have. No insurance it would be $1,000.00 😮my husband has covid19 after 3 weeks of relentless fever 🥵
