Medications : Medications are usually the primary cause of a metallic taste in the mouth. Since you pretty well ruled out all medications, with the exception of a vitamin and black cohosh, medication would not be the cause in your case. There are also systemic diseases that can cause this symptom such as renal failure, cancer, scarcordosis, a vitamin b-12 or zinc deficiency and nervous system disorders. Environmental factors need to be addressed as well. Enhaling over a period of time, certain chemicals at work such as benzene, lacquers, gasoline, rubber dust all can cause a metal taste in the mouth. I would suggest you go see your doctor of internal medicine and let him do a physical on you to rule out any of the above. You have seen your dentist and all seemed fine. Get a physcial and see if they can pinpoint the cause.
