Not first hand, but a friend who is a "Super Senior" just took Paxlovid and felt better rather

quickly...I just called him to see how he was doing...he's done with the AV...no discernible side effects...definitely believes it kept him out of the hospital.

It's too early to ask him about a phenomenon of "Rebound", where symptoms return after the AV treatment...but you might want to ask about it...not that it's any reason to not take the AV, but more for knowledge and expectation setting (i.e. don't freak out if that happens).
