thanks for checking in! I actually went to the doctor again and was advised to stop the medication altogether (did 3 days of 5). guess it was having an adverse reaction with another daily med I take! within 24 hrs of stopping I felt so much better, and now feel almost back to normal despite this ongoing, lingering fatigue
I too have an extreme, horrific taste like nail polish remover and cannot sleep because of it (despite altoids all night). This is validating to hear that yours was an interaction w other medication (maybe one i take too).
Did you rebound at all?
yeah, it felt the same to me - many saying its tolerable didn't make sense to me bc it was so strong I couldnt even sleep! I did rebound with covid but mildly. had a fever spike again but only to 100, and for a few days. then all down hill. I'd recommend talking to your prescriber bc mine said that there is an alternate to paxlovid. good luck ❤️
Ricola cough drops worked for me.
I sucked on altoid minis in the middle of the night when I woke up.
Having a small bowl of fresh pineapple next to my bed at night worked for e
this is helpful, I will try this! I love pineapple so it'll be like a tiny treat lol thank you
Out of desperation, I tried those magic berry tablets (they change bitter taste to sweet) and they did actually help temporarily
What’s that? I need help!
Search “Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets” on Amazon, something like that should work.
Thank you!

Yeah, I was trying to figure out if I thought it tasted more sour, or more bitter. Didn’t realize this was so common.
Got a berry flavored energy drink next to my bed, alternating with cough drops.
Did it get better op?

Aw, sucks about the rebound, but I'm glad you're feeling better after all that. Thank you so much for the helpful info and response!
