Q: what causes a constant metallic/rancid taste in mouth? i take 20 mg of otc prilosec in morning and 10mg of fluoxetine in the evening?

: Most common cause of metallic taste is gum disease, tissue bleeding. Do you floss or WaterPik daily? Do you brush at least 2 full minutes by the clock at least 2x/day? If the answer to either of these questions is no, see your Dentist or preferably a specialist Periodontist for an evaluation.
