I just finished a 6 day treatment (famciclovir) for herpes zoster and i feel fine just small fatigue but i cannot smell or taste anything. how come?

Uncertain: Famiclovir has not been described to cause the side effects you are describing. 32 years is relatively young to be suffering from zoster. You should see your doctor for a proper evaluation.
