For COVID-19 "64-year-old female. Had COVID 1 year ago and was very, very sick. This time, felt first symptom Monday night and tested Wednesday morning. Started Lagevrio at 8 pm, at which time I had an almost 102 fever. That broke in a couple of hours but could've been Tylenol or both. Slept well that night, getting up a few times, and on Thursday, I just felt lousy all day, coughing up some thick mucus. It's Friday now. Still feel lousy but thrilled not to be flat on my back feeling like I'm dying with a severe chest and head cold like last time. Taking 4 pills twice a day for 5 days. I've been hungry and eaten. Did get full faster. A little constipated this morning. Otherwise, no side effects that I know of."

For COVID-19 "Just finished 5 days of Lagevrio taken one day after testing positive for covid. 70-year-old female, with no other health issues. The antiviral began its work after 1 day, with no more pain in the throat or headache, and heavy mucous production stopped. However, it has caused diarrhea and turbulent growling in the intestines and stomach for the last 4 days. No appetite, and only ate two muffins with little butter every day with weak tea or plain water. Kept up fluids as best I could. Little sleep at night and had to rest all 4 days, doing anything has been almost impossible. I read that once the medication is over, these symptoms will disappear so I am looking forward to tomorrow."

For COVID-19 "Started Lagevrio on day 4 of testing positive for COVID. Only symptoms of COVID were dry cough, slight fever, and extreme fatigue. Cough was starting to subside when I decided, due to my age (74), I would get a prescription for antiviral meds. My physician ordered Lagevrio. This was day 4 since testing positive. The next day, my temperature was normal, my cough was gone, my fatigue was replaced with extreme energy. I felt perfect and proceeded to work around the house! I never needed a nap, had a good appetite, and felt great all day long and into the night. I was unable to fall asleep, but continued to feel great! And symptom-free!"

For COVID-19 "After testing positive for COVID, I was prescribed this medication. First day, I had a fever of 100.5. Swollen throat and cough. Tylenol broke the fever. My throat has cleared up. Temperature consistently normal. Loss of appetite, however, nausea and malaise. This experimental medication has a 10% chance of rebound. Glad to have finished it and hoping my appetite returns."

For COVID-19 "71-year-old female, also an Addisonian. Initial symptoms of COVID were nausea, felt really sick and cold for a couple of hours. This passed. Then the symptoms of a mild cold developed. I had no fever or cough, but severe lassitude and slept a lot. Tested strongly positive the next afternoon. Started Lagevrio on day 2, 87.3000 mg twice a day. Capsules easy to swallow, always with food, along with double my usual cortisone. I did not sleep well. The next morning felt worse, but a little better in the afternoon. Had a hot, red face, but this has now passed. On day 4, I felt well enough to do a little sewing and slept better. Today, day 5, I'm still testing positive for COVID, and I have mild bloating and constipation, as well as some lassitude, but I'm definitely improving. As I have a compromised immune system, I'm glad that the treatment was available, but do wonder about its long-term side effects. I've taken the risk."

For COVID-19 "Amazing med. Symptoms started Fri. Took first Molnupiravir (Lagevrio) dose Sat night. Saw relief the next morning. I was headed for a bad Covid case. My legs hurt so bad I was having trouble walking, fever, diarrhea, horrible cough, violent shaking from the chills. I am certain this med kept me from going to the hospital. The only side effect was a bad taste in my mouth and maybe fatigue. Took the 5-day course. All severe symptoms were gone."

For COVID-19 "Was contraindicated from taking Pavlovid. Took Lagevrio as prescribed and had no adverse effects. Have suffered severe shoulder and hip pain since concluding treatment. Not sure if related to Lagevrio or not."
