Radiation lowers your max health and will show as red on your health bar (lower left). Other maladies will reduce your max Acton Points and will show as red on your AP bar (lower right). So, maybe you don't have radiation and are trying to fix maladies reducing your AP bar with radaway?

Playing on Very Hard has no bearing on it not working. I have never had it not to work. And 90+% of my play runs, have been on Very Hard.

And you don't want to use it on Survival anyway. Use refreshing Beverage instead to remove Radiation. Or the Radiation removel Arch.

Depends on the definition of “not working”. Radaway removes Radiation subtracting from available Health, but does not recover that lost health after use.

Use Rad-X to lower the amount of radiation you get per'tic in the icky places.

Well, I don't use mods and that's how it works for me (perhaps there is more math to be done on those mods).

Are you taking damage otherwise as normal?

Because if you've still got a tiny sliver of red, that's because of the vault 81 bite which never goes away. If you're using stimpacks or radaway and the bars aren't moving, are you in god mode?

Mine also stopped working a few weeks ago.
No idea why.

If you are using a Hardcore mod, they can make Radaway work over a long period of time.

Vanilla = Almost instant
Modded = Can take Hours, and only cures a Percentage, based on your Perks.

Use Radaway... check amount of Radiation, then sleep for 4 Hours, see if your Radiation has reduced.

Good Pointer.
However I dont use one of those particular mods (to my knowledge)

Oh No!

You Have Been Exposed to Radation and a Mutated Hand Has Grown Out Of Your Stomache!
What is the best course of action?
