Summary
After a COVID infection in August 2024, the user took Paxlovid on day three and had diarrhea and insomnia throughout the five-day course. Once it ended they felt better, with no stomach or sleep problems, but 11 days later bloating, gas, diarrhea, poor appetite and trouble sleeping returned; rebound tests were negative. They reported the same post-COVID stomach problem two years earlier, when probiotics made it worse.
