If you have taken this for covid would you share any side effects you had. Did you have rebound infection?

Due to a health concern, I could not take it but my husband did and had the weird metallic taste. Otherwise, he had no issues with Paxlovid. But my friend had too harsh of stomach problems and only took 2 days worth but still felt it helped. 

Neither of them have had a rebound. I have not had a rebound. We are four weeks out, she is 6 weeks out.

I couldn't take it because I'm on tamoxifen.  My cousin and his wife both took it and both complained of the metallic taste.

My PA could not prescribe it for me as it would interact with another med I must take.
