For COVID-19 "I am on day 5 of COVID and day 3 of 800 mg twice a day molnupiravir. COVID symptoms improved after one day of treatment, but the side effects are requiring staying in bed due to dizziness, unsteadiness, plus nausea and vomiting. All made worse by moving my head. Not eaten in 2 days and only had water. Weighing up on stopping treatment today, so was looking for research/reviews to see if my experience is unusual or to stick it out. Think I will risk stopping."

For COVID-19 "I am 74 years old. I tested positive for COVID and started taking Molnupiravir on the 6th of March. I take a blood thinner and was told I could not take Paxlovid. I'm about three weeks out, and I am having the following continuous symptoms: nausea (waves of nausea if my stomach is somewhat empty), light cramping, pressure in my large intestine, dizziness. I have not had diarrhea. When I eat a meal, I feel better, but within several hours, I am ravenous again. I have lost 10 lbs. I am, what I would call, nervous on the inside (shaky, weak)."

For COVID-19 "On day three, taking 200 mg, I feel much better. Most of my COVID symptoms are gone, but the medicine is making me nauseous and having very bad stomach pains. Otherwise, I thought it worked very well."

For COVID-19 "On day 2 of taking this medication, I had to call for an ambulance. I couldn't walk, was confused, and felt nauseated. I will not be taking this anymore, as it made me feel worse."
