Fully vaxxed, sick positive test June 6th. Took Paxlovid on the 8th. By the 10th i was 75% better. Metallic taste was instant after the first taking. After the 5th dose i had a negative test. Its been since the 14th and its June 20th and i feel fine. No rebound or other side effects. It works!!!
Thats because it took its course. Youre suppose to be better within the first 24 hrs so no...it didnt work. Also good luck to you in the future getting a vacinne that hasnt ever had longterm study on it. Smh.
4 jabs and you needed pills to be good in 14 days? Man im unvaxxed and took ginger shots, Vitamin D3 and recoverd in 3 Days. You people are getting played by big Pharma am so sorry for you.
It worked for me. Started taking on day 3 of symptoms. I was getting sicker by the hour. Within 6 hours of taking I could tell I was getting better rather than worse. After 2 days of treatment headache and fever was gone. After day 3 of treatment tested negative. Continued the 5 day treatment and tested again on the 6th day still negative. I have noticed that I still need more sleep than normal even after several weeks later of being covid free. I believe the Paxlovid kept me from having a much worse outcome. I recommend it if you can get it. It does give a bad taste in your mouth but I I discovered orange juice helped alot and it went away after treatment.
Had a runny nose and a sporadic head ache Tuesday June 28th. Wednesday June 29th mid afternoon it hit me. Head ache, runny nose, fatigue, joint pain, sore throat, some coughing. I went to a Covid site and tested positive. By 8p on June 28th I took my first dose of Paxlovid. I have been on Paxlovid for almost 40 hours. I noticed a slight improvement. My sinus’s have opened up and mucus seems to breaking loose. I’m 62, in great health. Had the Moderna vaccine and boostered once in November 2021. Definitely have the metal taste in my mouth. Thanks posting other’s experiences
I tested positive on June12th and started using Paxlovid on the 13th,didn’t have any severe symptoms and felt better after 3 days. After finishing the prescription I feel fine other than loss of appetite and fatigue.
It's been almost 11 hours and my first dose doesn't seem to be doing jack. If anything, I'm starting to feel worse. I never had a metallic taste in the mouth.
I go to lunch Thursday with a buddy, he drives, we dont wear masks, 5 min drive, we're in and out in 5 min and eat outside, he drives me back. He's caughing a bit inside but says he's fully recovered from covid and tested negative. 2 days later my throat itches and i'm caughing the same way. Next day I test positive. Day after that I call and get paxlovid since I"m on arthritis meds too. How bizzarr is that if covid is that transmissable.
I also rode in a car with a fully vaccinated person on Monday. Wednesday night I had an awful headache, sweats, chills and body aches, but no fever. I tested positive Thursday, called my Doctor & was prescribed paxlovid on Friday. I do not feel bad at all but I am starting my 5 day meditation with hopes of it preventing damage to my body 🙏🙏🙏
It is important to know, as Dr. Auwaerter points out, that the Paxlovid study was done ONLY on unvaccinated patients. It is impossible to extrapolate that to vaccinated patients.
Not much difference. If you vaxed over 4 months ago, you are unvaxed, except for the side effects. I had COVID and tested pos 4 months later, but didn't feel it. Now THAT'S a vaccine.
@@bendeleted9155 So, you are saying that a prior covid infection is better than a vaccine? Thanks for joining us. For what it is worth, it is looking like Paxlovid is of no benefit to anyone if they had any covid vaccine shot within a year of getting covid.
Just like they are only testing the unvaccinated in mandatory testing environments, so it looks like a pandemic of the unvaxed. Meanwhile, the vaxed are getting it and going to work at their own discretion.
Started on day 2 of symptoms. Did avoid fatigue and headache never tested negative. Day 17 and still test positive with runny nose and some fatigue. Hope positive will release me from masks and avoiding people
What if I took Paxlovid just once a day for 10 days instead of twice a day for 5. Do you think that would help from having a rebound? I honestly think once a day works fine anyway since the drug is so strong. I started my first does last night and almost feel completely recovered. I think once a day is good enough
@@tkjazz4251 So the package comes with 2of one pill (🔵🔵) and then one (🟡) of the other and you take them three (🔵🔵🟡)twice a day. I took just one of each (🔵🟡) twice a day. And it was fine. It worked for me no rebound. It says in instructions to take it that way if you might have liver problems so I just took it like that to be safe.
@@yvettegarcia527 I Hate medicine, but do want to be safe. I was wondering about just taking the 3 🔵🔵🟡 once per day, hadn't thought about the 2🔵🟡 to start. I'm just not good with taking stuff. Thank you
Im on day 4 of paxlovid. Now Im worried about infecting my family. Im a nurse and go back to work on day 6 and required to wear mask until day 10. I guess I will continue to mask at home.
I took it and had terrible taste in mouth, so bad it made me almost unable to eat. I never felt bad other than fatigue, fever hit 100 maybe once. Still testing positive after finishing entire box.
After 4 months of LONG COVID HELL! got fking BA5, sorry you have to say fking, started down the same rabbit hole of HELL ran for the urgent care(was on my first visit home) cried for the pax AMAZING side effect was dizziness which was a bit unerving but I kept pushing it...now feeling pretty good! now I wait for rebound with trepidation as im about to see my older aged mother.
I hope you are feeling better. Same happened to me with BA2 this past May, long covid (thought I was losing my mind to a deep depression), got well finally, and now BA5! Finally got the Paxlovid and feel much better. Praying no rebound for me.
Got sick on June 18, immediately went to the doctor and got a pcr covid test. It was positive and I started the paxlovid that day. Started feeling much better by the 3rd day. Was feeling fine by the 5th day (Wednesday, June 22nd). I got another pcr covid test on Thursday, June 23 and it was negative. Now its Sunday night, June 26 and I feel awful again. Constant runny nose with clear mucus gushing and I feel like I can’t breathe out of my nose. I did a rapid test at home and it’s positive. Definitely a relapse. I’m freaking the F**K out because I’ve already missed so much work and I was feeling fine so I went back to work this weekend (masked-up, of course) and I’m sick again. I’m overweight but I’m vaccinated and boosted and I thought those were supposed to help me, now I feel like I don’t know what’s going to happen. Anxiety is through the roof. How long did the relapse last for other people?
@@Gwyndolinnn Hi Danny- Feeling better now. Not 100% yet, have some shortness of breath and fatigue but I've been able to return to work and feel good after my shifts. This Omicron is NO JOKE. People are acting like the pandemic is all over (myself included until I got sick) and if you're vaccinated, you're fine, but the truth is you can still get really sick and be down for weeks or maybe even months with Long Covid symptoms. Yes, you're not in the hospital, but it still doesn't mean you're doing ok. I'm going back to masking-up and avoiding large crowds. It's just not worth it and I don't wish this on anyone. It's also been a huge wake up call and once I start feeling 100% again I am going to really start tackling other health issues (mostly weight) I have. Also just speculating here but I think doctors don't really know how bad Covid could get. This could get worse. It could mutate again and be even more harmful. I want to be in optimum health whenever or if ever that happens. Hope you start feeling better soon, you eventually do start to feel better, it just takes time, and there are good days and bad days. Stay strong and eat healthy.
@@tylergooding9743 I’m glad to hear you’ve improved at least a bit! I agree its no joke, I’ve heard of people that have had significantly worse experiences with this virus and I would like to think paxlovid helped a ton in preventing my case from becoming severe (I have an unfortunate health history with heart issues at 22 along with a moderate to severe underweight BMI). When my symptoms rebounded I felt pretty dismal and I got anxious after my doctor prescribed a second round due to the speculations, but I’ve been stable health-wise since. I get to take my last round tonight and then I’m hoping that there won’t be a second rebound. It sounds like its mostly a thing from the first round sometimes not being enough for some people, so I’m crossing my fingers. I already ordered a new set of masks and will not be going out unless its absolutely necessary. I’ve been hearing about the rising “Centaurus” variant and if names could kill, that would be the one to do it. Wishing you the best in your recovery
@@tylergooding9743 Yes people acting like its over.. no masking, distancing, etc. My wife and I are old hombodies.. but love having our great-grandchildren visit.. Wife and got Covid about 10 days ago.. best we can tell the GG-kids passed it to us. We both took Paxlovid, wife is negative but I"m still positive.
I’d never take another jab against a viral infection in your case. The more jabs the more relapses of COVID. Try to lose weight by avoiding processed foods and sugars! Sugar is known to weaken your immune system!
This medication is working ,I could not breath well and my voice gone and was getting more sick fever etc..very quickly ! on day 3 started the medication and I start feeling better ,my breath start be more easier .I am on day 2 medications beside the bad taste and fatigue I am feeling better from covid .
@@adonnaprice9676 That's incorrect. There is no official recommendation to take another course of Paxlovid should one get a rebound case. The FDA has been quite clear about that. It was the recommendation of the Pfizer CEO, and it was immediately shot down by the FDA.
I almost quit taking it on day 3. Made me so jittery! But after skipping a dose, and a good night’s sleep, I tried again. I found out that eating apples takes away the horrible taste!! Also I have a glass of water and keep sipping all day. Sure hope I don’t have a rebound, but at least now it is tolerable.
@@SuperDoright I tried so many mints. Wintergreen worked the best. But my mouth and throat got so sore. Then I got the rebound, ended up testing positive again.
Got covid Nov 7 ..... . Symptoms + positive Nov 10. Paxlovid started same day... Felt better after 5 days. Big rebound and very sick ever since.. Feeling better today.. picking up...but tested positive today... 4th time.... Dispirited but nice to be feeling better... This rebound stuff looks VERY common
Antibody therapy works much better (and it takes 2 weeks to make variant tailored antibody cocktail), but it costs arm and leg, and require IV or injection...
I did not get the rebound effect. Thank God. I am now day 14 since I first got symptoms , started Paxlovid on day 2. Finished Paxlovid day 6. It definitely works. I really hope more better studies shows that it is effective and that the rebound is a very low percent. This drug has the potential to be a game changer.
I was covid positive may 31st. Went on paxlovid 2 days later. I'm 58 and not vaccinated. The Paxlovid did lessen the symptoms. Only thing was one side effect. Made my mouth taste like metal. 2 weeks later I felt sick again. Paxlovid rebound but didn't last long.
did you get prescribed paxlovid again for the 2 week rebound? i am on day 3. my cough still exists, occasional congestion but to do over again i say Paxlovid is a winner. Do you agree
@@carltimmons3198 So you were prescribed 2 boxes of Paxlovid? I just finished a box and I still test positive; still having fatigue and productive cough.
For me, Paxlovid good enough to knock out about 90% of the virus, and get very faint reading on my test. 4 days later, right back to where I was before. Why the dosage if for only 5 days instead of 7 is beyond comprehension.
After testing positive, I started the Pax and a month later, still having symptoms, fizzing noises in my head, dark urine, soudim levels dropped and was in the hospital for a week,diarrhea, dizziness, takes me about two hours to finally be able to sit up cause I’m in a wheelchair! Worst feeling in my life and I’ve been threw way worse! At 13, dove into a shallow river, broke my neck witch left me paralyzed in a wheelchair! 45 now, I hope I get back to my normal life! People take this Covid seriously!
Unvaccinated, Covid symptoms on Oct 7, 2023, hight fever, body aches, headache, neck pain out of this world, sleepless (all in one night) went to the hospital, positive Covid. Prescribed paxlovid, first dose was at night so by the second night I felt better. Didn’t really have bad taste but once it tasted like a grapefruit really tart and sour. Anyway I finish the medication tomorrow at 7:30 am will be my final dose. Prayerfully I won’t experience rebound. I feel 75% better, lingering cough and phlegm….
How did you end up feeling? I currently got Covid, day 3 of symptoms, got prescribed pax, started taking it today but feel bad because I don’t want a rebound
Took it after testing positive. Hardly any symptoms but took it cause it was prescribed to me. Worked great. Almost completely normal by day two. Finished the five days. Tested a day later came out negative. Then 3 days later start to feel strange. Thought I caught a cold/flu. Then the next two days... sweats, fever, chills, headache, burning nostrils, runny nose, coughing like crazy. So tested again feeling creepy... turns out.. positive again.
How you feeling now? I got Covid a little over a week ago and was in a 5 day treatment of Paxlovid and steroids. So far so good. But, I’m starting to get a runny nose again. I’m vaccinated and boosted.
@@pjhey947 sorry for the late reply. Actually fully recovered and good to go now. Just even a day after my initial posting I felt so much better. So I had a rebound, yes, but recovered pretty fast!
I tested positive for covid August 1st after having severe head and body aches and being fatigue plus stuffy nose. Started my first does of paxlovid and currently have a metallic taste in my mouth. I’m in my 20s and 6’5” and have was vaccinated with Moderna.
@@charlesedwards5333 that is awful to have to go through the same symptoms all over again. Because I’ll have to take more time off of work. I hope that doesn’t happen to me. Hopefully yours won’t last too long
Its working for me, but i feel horrible heat on my kidney area, I don't have any kidney condition, is this normal ?also the brittle taste is horrible lasts for hours and the kidney pain is horrible...second day on it ..
I'm pretty sure you should contact your doc if you haven't yet as they warned they need to be let known if a person has kidney issues before taking it. Maybe you had some kind of kidney issue without knowing?
I took this drug. I feel 40 percent better after the 4th days. Absolutely agreed with Bob. However, Paxlovid is not easy to get. Took Walgreens 1.5 days to allocate this drug for me. I lived in the North suburd of Chicago.
I am on day 3 of having covid. I started paxlovid on day two. Feeling better in that my fever is gone, muscles aches gone, but I am still having a lot of congestion and a horrendous sore throat. But I seem to be getting better.
I tested positive took 5 days of Pax tested negative by 4th day. Finished medication and tested positive 5 days after. Bright bright red positive line. 3 days in still positive.
Hi Ldkinsc.. I took it 5 days, feeling pretty good, just fatigue and some productive coughing once in a while. Retested after completing Paxlovid regimen... positive result! Wife was negative.
That's not a big deal, you might rebound without the Paxlovid. Covid is different for everyone. The fact is that it could very possibly keep you from getting long haul Covid, which is a great benefit. It's more how you feel after the treatment than what the test says. That's why they say to wear a mask for a week after treatment regardless of what the test says.
Yea but they dont want us yo know that because its dirt cheap and big pharma doesn't make any money. This stuff cost $780 for one box without insurance. Bastards
I’m experiencing COVID-19 after taking Plaxlovid. I was feeling better and tested negative 4 days in a row. Then I started feeling sick again, I remember my doctor mentioning that was a rare possibility of rebounding , of course I tested and was positive again with symptoms. Ugh 😣 after 2.5 years this 🦠finally got me and got me again 😖

After testing positive, I started the Pax and a month later, still having symptoms, fizzing noises in my head, dark urine, soudim levels dropped and was in the hospital for a week,diarrhea, dizziness, takes me about two hours to finally be able to sit up cause I’m in a wheelchair! Worst feeling in my life and I’ve been threw way worse! At 13, dove into a shallow river, broke my neck witch left me paralyzed in a wheelchair! 45 now, I hope I get back to my normal life! People take this Covid seriously!
Unvaccinated, Covid symptoms on Oct 7, 2023, hight fever, body aches, headache, neck pain out of this world, sleepless (all in one night) went to the hospital, positive Covid. Prescribed paxlovid, first dose was at night so by the second night I felt better. Didn’t really have bad taste but once it tasted like a grapefruit really tart and sour. Anyway I finish the medication tomorrow at 7:30 am will be my final dose. Prayerfully I won’t experience rebound. I feel 75% better, lingering cough and phlegm….
How did you end up feeling? I currently got Covid, day 3 of symptoms, got prescribed pax, started taking it today but feel bad because I don’t want a rebound
Took it after testing positive. Hardly any symptoms but took it cause it was prescribed to me. Worked great. Almost completely normal by day two. Finished the five days. Tested a day later came out negative.
Then 3 days later start to feel strange. Thought I caught a cold/flu. Then the next two days... sweats, fever, chills, headache, burning nostrils, runny nose, coughing like crazy. So tested again feeling creepy... turns out.. positive again.
How you feeling now? I got Covid a little over a week ago and was in a 5 day treatment of Paxlovid and steroids. So far so good. But, I’m starting to get a runny nose again. I’m vaccinated and boosted.
@@pjhey947 sorry for the late reply. Actually fully recovered and good to go now. Just even a day after my initial posting I felt so much better. So I had a rebound, yes, but recovered pretty fast!
Same happened here with rebound. But just tested negative today and feel much better. So weird
This has just happened to my partner. So bizarre
We're you vaccinated?
I tested positive for covid August 1st after having severe head and body aches and being fatigue plus stuffy nose. Started my first does of paxlovid and currently have a metallic taste in my mouth. I’m in my 20s and 6’5” and have was vaccinated with Moderna.
Did you get a rebound?
I took it , got better, tested negative, few days later I got cold like symptoms and am testing positive.
Were your rebound symptoms mild enough to deal with and not as bad as before?
@@angelsarah79 I think I felt better at 3 days
@@angelsarah79 Day three
@@angelsarah79 the same as before
@@charlesedwards5333 that is awful to have to go through the same symptoms all over again. Because I’ll have to take more time off of work. I hope that doesn’t happen to me. Hopefully yours won’t last too long
Its working for me, but i feel horrible heat on my kidney area, I don't have any kidney condition, is this normal ?also the brittle taste is horrible lasts for hours and the kidney pain is horrible...second day on it ..
I'm pretty sure you should contact your doc if you haven't yet as they warned they need to be let known if a person has kidney issues before taking it. Maybe you had some kind of kidney issue without knowing?
@@Stephizzle_Dizzle absolutely agree with this, doctor here.
I took it earlier this month and had alot of pain in kidney area, no history of kidney issues
I suggest eating mints and that will overcome the metal taste. It worked for me.
@@Stephizzle_Dizzle i didn't finished all 5 doses...only 3.
Does this drug have any mRNA component to it?
I took this drug. I feel 40 percent better after the 4th days. Absolutely agreed with Bob. However, Paxlovid is not easy to get. Took Walgreens 1.5 days to allocate this drug for me.
I lived in the North suburd of Chicago.
My pharmacy had it immediately after prescribed.
It killed my grandpa..it sucks!!!!
Ok so vx'd boosted 4xs then get cvd use medication then rebound still pos WTH.......isn't that the whole purpose of being v'd
You have been dupped
many people are in your shoes! i know someone with covid parkinsons like symptoms
I am on day 3 of having covid. I started paxlovid on day two. Feeling better in that my fever is gone, muscles aches gone, but I am still having a lot of congestion and a horrendous sore throat. But I seem to be getting better.
Herbal medicine is the way to go! These are all god made. God says “herbs are for the healing of the nation “
I’m definitely partaking in herbal remedies. Green ones.
I tested positive took 5 days of Pax tested negative by 4th day. Finished medication and tested positive 5 days after. Bright bright red positive line. 3 days in still positive.
Same thing just happened to my partner
Hi Ldkinsc.. I took it 5 days, feeling pretty good, just fatigue and some productive coughing once in a while. Retested after completing Paxlovid regimen... positive result! Wife was negative.
The President of the U.S. just had a rebound before our very eyes. He's had the shot with two boosters.
That's not a big deal, you might rebound without the Paxlovid. Covid is different for everyone. The fact is that it could very possibly keep you from getting long haul Covid, which is a great benefit. It's more how you feel after the treatment than what the test says. That's why they say to wear a mask for a week after treatment regardless of what the test says.
What's your point though?
Did he die though?
Ivermectin works well too.
Yea but they dont want us yo know that because its dirt cheap and big pharma doesn't make any money. This stuff cost $780 for one box without insurance. Bastards
Only if taken early enough within 72 hours
It doesn't actually seem to help at all
I’m experiencing COVID-19 after taking Plaxlovid. I was feeling better and tested negative 4 days in a row. Then I started feeling sick again, I remember my doctor mentioning that was a rare possibility of rebounding , of course I tested and was positive again with symptoms.
Ugh 😣 after 2.5 years this 🦠finally got me and got me again 😖
