WARNING: Do not take Paxlovid without making sure it won't interact with any medications you are currently taking. Because I nearly died because I was prescribed Paxlovid and it interacted with the Hydrochlorothiazide I was taking, causing my sodium level to plummet to a deathly level. Luckily I went to ER and was admitted to hospital for 8 days! So just wanted to warn people....

Paxlovid interacts with MANY medications, and there are several that can be very dangerous. I’m glad you’re ok. It’s crazy that they gave it to you without checking your other medications extremely carefully.
When I got COVID again six months ago (three years into long COVID) I couldn’t take paxlovid because of the interactions, so they gave me molnuvirapir instead. Not only did I start feeling better from the COVID symptoms within a few hours, but it also made a significant and lasting improvement in my long COVID symptoms.
