Anyone on paxlovid for long Covid clinical trial?

I’m the the NIH clinical program and it looks like a bunch of us will be paxlovid or placebos next month.

Not sure how I feel about a medicine developed so quickly. From Pfizer insiders, they say a new straightforward drug with the fda can take at least five years.

I’m not on a clinical trial, but I just had COVID again, first time was Nov, 2020 and long COVID til just recently. I took Paxlovid and recovered in 5 days and have felt fabulous since. If I still suffered like I did with long COVID, I would not hesitate to try Paxlovid for long haul.

I'm not on a clinical trial, but was put on Paxlovid do to my having bronchial asthma and age. I truly think it saved me from being very sick. The strange thing was that there was more mucous, but it didn't feel the same as an asthma attack. I was aware of it being there, but minimally aware. I don't quite know how to express it, but I feel it helped me.

I took Paxlovid with COVID in 8/22. I could barely tolerate the taste of metal in my mouth but otherwise it helped me pull out of extreme dizziness, extreme fatigue and extreme coughing. But I pulled out for a few days only and then came crashing down, with a return of all the symptoms plus confusion and weakness. I don’t know if I’d take it again or not.
