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 "Tough to say whether or not this helped. Took it the day after I tested positive, which was probably 3 days into symptoms. I did feel better after 2 doses of this medication. After the 4th dose, I felt very lethargic and dizzy. Some tummy issues, but better than the awful COVID headache I had."

For COVID-19 "I had a sore throat, tested, and it was negative. That night, the fever started, and I didn't feel well. I'm 62 and am a kidney transplant patient. The next morning, I went to a hospital (I was traveling). Took the drug at lunchtime, and within two days, I started to feel better, and the fever went away. My stomach was a bit upset but not too bad. After taking the drug for 5 days, I have a weird taste in my mouth but no other symptoms. Doing walks and feeling alright. Thank goodness, I have a few more days before I return home. Hopefully, I don't get any rebound."
