For COVID-19 "Tested positive and called a health care professional. Recommended molnupiravir, and I started taking it on the second day in the evening (4 capsules every 12 hours for 5 days). I was very stuffed up and had a low-grade fever, which went away after the second day. Sinus drainage and headache are very persistent. Currently have laryngitis. Cough is not productive, and headache remains. Did have a skin rash for two days. Took Benadryl. Another review mentioned nightmares, I have experienced very vivid dreams. Overall, I feel tired most of the time. Appetite is minimal, and I have no sense of smell or taste and have had diarrhea off and on since the third day of medication start. Cough is very persistent, and so is sinus drainage."

For COVID-19 "Started taking molnupiravir 200 mg X2 twice a day on day 2 of testing positive for COVID. I had felt it in the back of the left side of my throat the night before on day 1, and it came on pretty quickly with a stuffed-up head, headache, body aches, sore throat, and fever of around 100. I knew right away what it was because my husband started his Paxlovid 3 days prior to my getting sick. It started working immediately the second day, and I continued to improve, this is the 3rd day. Tylenol or the molnupiravir didn't touch the headache, though. Constant heavy achy head. Had to resort to tramadol 50 mg to relieve my headache. Also started guaifenesin 1200 mg slow-release tablets as I was starting to get chest congestion. Immediately started getting relief after starting the guaifenesin. Started coughing up my congestion in my chest. Continuing on with this medication to day four tomorrow. I am convinced this is a good medication, although I need something extra for headache and chest congestion."
