Metalic tatse don't know how else to explain except i have a metalic taste not sure if some of my meds is causing it or not?

WHAT MEDS ARE YOU ON: Many pharmaceuticals disrupt the normal flow of ions in the nervous system. One of the easiest to recognize is the mouth--as there are so many and varied nerves. Would have to know what meds you are taking first. You can call your doc to have them altered or eliminated, if safe to do so. It may take serveral weeks to reverse the odd sensations.
