Severe Allergy to Paxlovid

Hi there,
I just discontinued Paxlovid today after only three doses due to systemic itching all over my body. my doctor told me to go right off of it. The only history I have of allergy is an idiopathic anaphylaxis reaction several decades ago, when I was running in extreme heat and had a full-blown attack. I was not stung by anything and they have no idea if I came across some Lawn chemicals or something in the heat combined caused the anaphylaxis, I do have a history of hives when I am stressed, and severe localised reactions to bee stings, rashes with deodorant’s, creams, but I’ve never been diagnosed with anything but uricaria. I don’t know much about your conditions but I suspect there are more than 1% with allergic reactions and they are not all full blown anaphylaxis. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. If the doctors that treat you for your current diagnosis are not able to help, I would contact an attorney who may be able to point you to a specialist as you may be shocked to find out you are not alone. I wish you all the best. Take good care.

I wish my doctor had told me to stop taking it. I called two or 3 days into the drug and he said to finish it. now nearly two years after taking paxlovid one time and only having covid the one time, i'm still getting hives on my face and neck with no known trigger as of yet. I've had 3 episodes this year already. It does seem paxlovid does alter something in people's systems as I'm finally hearing from other people who have had long term hives since taking the drug. maybe an attorney is necessary. I'm still searching for a doctor who can help me. it's been a nightmare. I hope your itching resolves itself and doesn't come back. thank you for reaching out. take care.
