For COVID-19 "I'm 56, fully vaxxed and boosted and am immunocompromised due to ulcerative colitis. I'm 7 days from onset of Covid symptoms, and I've been on molnupiravir now for 4 days. I've experienced a persistent bad taste in my mouth, maybe on the line of metallic, which I can't get rid of. Could be a lingering effect of Covid, but I can't remember having this particular effect with previous Covid infections (this is my 3rd). Other effects I've been dealing with are headache and dizziness/lightheadedness, as well as a feeling of being kind of out of it. I often describe the whole feeling as heady for a lack of a better word, cause it's my head having most ill-like symptoms of late, like my eyes have felt achy and pressure. Headaches a lot (as stated), head kind of has a buzzing feeling, as well as stomach, some minor confusion as well and upset stomach at times. Basically, an overall feeling of malaise I guess. Not sure how much is this med and how much lingering Covid effects. Hope this helps."

For COVID-19 "I started taking it on day 3 of Covid, I’m 45 years old. My first dose was at nighttime, and I saw the immediate effect the next day, barely coughing and mucus, but I felt awful. I felt lightheaded, a metallic taste in my mouth, and sleepiness all day."

For COVID-19 "This stuff is awful! I am immunosuppressed, so I decided to take it even though my COVID symptoms had improved on day 3. I woke up with a completely different set of symptoms: a feeling of general malaise, lightheadedness, diarrhea, and unable to eat. A horrible metallic taste which is constant. Still in bed on day 6 with no signs of improvement."
