    I took 5 pills in total and I had hot flashes couple hrs of taking it.
    Bad taste, by the third day I noticed I was wide awake and then 48hrs later still no sleep.
    No diarrhea I made sure to eat before each dose.
    5 days later tested negative.
    Stopped taking the med and finally was able to sleep.
    Everyone reacts differently.

All this stuff does nothing but make a person sick or kill. I did not take nothing, did not take many others fine. It’s fear and money. That’s what government does? Ask Fauci, you see he made enough. These are lies and Fauci knew, so, stop!!!!!!

    Thanks for your post. I am on the second dose of day 3. Bad taste, yes all the time. Diarrhea, yes but no abdominal cramps. So far so much better. Weird night sweats with weird odor, yes and yes. The first day my symptoms showed up was so scary and miserable. I have had three vaccinations but this new variant got me before I could get the vaccine. I have never had a flu with the extremely quick onset of symptoms so I took my home test. I tested positive in just a few minutes and it was bright red! The next day my husband called the dr for me and got me the paxlovid. I can’t believe how much better I feel. I’ll update if I get the rebound.

      I have had, over the course of my illness, fever,, coughing, congestion, fatigue, diarrhea, and a bitter taste in my mouth. Hard to know if some of those are medication side effects. I can say that all of my symptoms have been quite mild and that only the taste and digestive issues manifested after starting the pills.

  • @yorkiepit
    @yorkiepit Год назад +4

    I got it on a Wednesday afternoon and when I woke Friday morning, after the 3rd dose but before the 4th, my symptoms had mostly resolved and I felt great.
    Colds always tend to get in my upper respiratory tract and cause lingering phlegm and coughing, so I decided not to risk it because that's what can overwhelm.
    Side effects were the taste, it's sort of like you ate a bad pistachio, and it's there all the time because you take it 2 times a day. Diarrhea wasn't bad, it's not like it made me need to go to the toilet all the time, I still only went 1 time a day, but it was watery.
    The 3rd night I bundled up in bed and had a lot of sweat, which had a distinctly unusual odor, not like underarm odor, I imagine it's sweating out the same stuff that causes the bad taste.
    If you have kidney issues they have a lower dose to take, if you are on certain meds, you need to stop them while taking Paxlovid and then for 10 days after, but overall it was a breeze.
    Paxlovid is a combination of an antiretroviral released in 1996 to combat aids and an antiviral developed in 2018 to combat a coronavirus that was 100% fatal in cats. One of the drugs prevents the virus from replicating and the other med prevents your liver from metabolizing the antiviral, so it stays in your system longer.
    It's effective because it doesn't really matter what strain you have, it's going to prevent replication, while the monoclonal antibodies were only effective against a specific strain, so each time the virus mutates the monoclonals are no longer effective.
    There's no denying that it was incredibly effective. Odds are that I would have been able to do just fine without it, but we will never know.
    Sad that a 1996 drug with a 2018 drug wasn't made available in 2020 when it was most needed. To be fair, they needed to modify the 2018 med to be taken orally, but they could have been administered as 1 oral, 1 injection.

    currently on my second day or 3rd, I'm not completely sure, of covid. as symptoms got worse, fever, cough, sore throat, headaches, I went to get tested cause it's the first thing I suspect. Taste and diarrhea are my biggest issues, currently. I haven't eaten much, which I should, had my roommate buy me 2 bundle's of banana's and chicken soup. I'm pretty sure the meds are working, but some of the symptoms won't go away that easily.

After the second dose I was so nauseus and with a headache, it was unbearable. No it wasn't from the virus as the virus symptoms had ended within 36 hours of initiation. I stopped taking the paxlovid and improved immediately. Nausea and headache went away. Now I'm just feeling weak from the virus. Drank lots of water to piss this poison out.

      The vaccines 💉 that we received did not have the sub variant, Omicron when made . I am vaxxed and double boosted. Just got Covid .Did the Paxlovid, yuck! Stuck w/it for 5 days made me nauseous and GI bathroom issues. Get the new booster came out in September..it will protect against the newest variants of the Omicron.
