tongue and teeth sort of like you ate a battery and tingly.. That's a symptom of something, but I can't remember what. Also, people taste metal when they are scared. Did you just watch a scary movie? Nope, never had that, Boney Jones!

I had that taste when I was taking LunestaI had that AWFUL taste when I was first diagnosed. It was horrible. It went away on 1) antibiotics or 2) after the antiobiotics fixed my periodontal disease which is what caused this whole mess for me in the first place.

Friend of mine is a dr. I had that problem and he told me that can be a side effect with a number of medications. For me, it was plaquenil causing it. He said to drink regular Coke. I am a Pepsi fan so I was a bit skeptical, but it worked. [QUOTE=rocckyd]Friend of mine is a dr. I had that problem and he told me that can be a side effect with a number of medications.

Proof once again that Coca-Cola is truly nectar of the gods.Had that metallic taste when I first started taking Methotrexate. It occurred in the middle of the night -- would get up and eat a couple of crackers to take the taste away. Haven't been bothered lately, but have also cut Mtx dosage in half. Can't wait to stop it (if I ever can).....it's one med that I just don't like!
