Sores on tongue, tongue was slightly swollen, diarrhea, bad headache, terrible metal taste in mouth, heart arrhythmia, chest pain, eye yellowed, eye swollen slightly, and very sore. Heartburn. | Would never recommend this drug and think you give out in different doses. Looked up many reviews and people were getting bad side effects also. Many were young people. Definitely more studies on this drug. | F | 71 | 1 days 1X day | 10/17/2022 | 3 | Shorten Covid symptoms | While my Covid symptoms have improved quickly, this medication and my mental health meds weren't exactly compatible. Not sure if it was the Paxlovid itself, but I have experienced awful headache, cold sweats, queasiness, and extremely vivid, grandiose dreams. My mouth has also tasted like a sack of nickels. Personally, I don't think I was sick enough to need this medication, but listened to my provider. Would I take it again? Probably not. | F | 55 | 5 days 5 day trea 2X day | 7/17/2022 |
