How long does the metallic taste from Lunesta take to go away once you stop taking the pills? What causes it?

same thing happens to me!!!  What I have been doing is just keep drinking alot of fluids not necessarliy water but something to help with the taste.  I have also been sucking on candy during the day at work.  I know it's gross but u sleep better right?  I do and I'm going to try Sonesta cuz there is no after taste at all and you can sleep for 4 hours or 8 and still feel refreshed afterwards.\n\nNO HANGOVER FEELING!!

It's from a defiency in Vitamin B 12. Eat more B12 rich foods or take a supplament. It'll go away within 48 hours of taking a complex B vitamin.

I just became lactose intolerant about a month ago. It started with awful bloating, gas, and some of the worst diarrhea I have ever had.\n\nI'm doing much better now that I have started taking these once daily pills. They work a lot better for me than lactase pills that I originally began taking.\n\nYou can find info about them at http://ganedenbiotech.com/index.php?page=DALI\n\nIf you try those pills, just be aware that it may take some time before they begin working all day long and you may have to take 2 daily like me.

A friend of mine was on Topamax and she experienced tingling in her hands and feet.  She also had a change in her taste.  Anything with artificial sweetners tasted very metallic to her and she couldn't stand the taste of anything alcoholic.  She also suffered from weight gain (about 25 lbs).  All of the symptoms went away when she stopped taking the med.

Yes, I had it and my husband experiences it from time to time.  You intestines are not moving the food fast enough towards digestion and it just sits.  Ask you dr about Reglan.  It works great.  You take it 30 min before a meal and at bedtime (about 4 times a day)  and you will results fast.  The problem has been non existint after I stopped taking it, too.

Actually the cause is not known. Some patients have a reaction to medicines or herbs (fewerfew is famous for these).Often a mixture of liquid benadryl with mylanta gargled, DO NOT SWALLOW, helps speed healing.

Sweet-ish...it makes it taste different. There are a number of things that can do this...lots of fun to research :)\n\nAlmost forgot...the effects happen after about 1/2 hour & don't last for a very long time...maybe an hour or so...

Actually since you started getting this acne after you quit taking the pill temporarily, it's probably hormonal. I think your logic seems right as far as weaning goes, but that won't be effective towards a contraceptive anymore and you could do more harm to yourself than good. \n\nI suggest seeing a doctor and letting him know what happened, there could be something out there to help. I'm not sure what you were on, but I've also had a bad experience with skin senstivity and the sun while on the pill years ago. But also keep in mind, if you are 23, the road to 30 is going to be bumpy. Weird things will happen to your body and you can thank age alone for that. \n\nYou seem overall healthy and happy, but I'm just not certain that weaning yourself off of the pill will work effectively if it's a hormonal issue. I did have a friend who had a simular situation arrise after she quit taking the pill, but she went straight into taking the Depo shots and that seemed to work for her. \n\nHowever, while taking the shots you don't menstruate usually and when you stop taking them... your body is a mess, so I really don't think you should consider it too much. Her acne, migrains and swelling ceased but it left her with bad cramping every month and more than average bleeding. \n\nJust talk to your doctor about a hormone replacement in the form of something other than a contraceptive.

When I want to stop the heavy pain killers after the muscle spasms calm down, I have to ease myself off of them (or I get really bad headaches). \n\nYou know, over about 2 and half days I let a little more time pass in between taking the pills and each time take a little bit less. Seems to do the trick for me.\n\ngood luck

No, but it wouldn't surprise me too much.  After using the stuff for about 10 days straight (not abusing it, I had a god-awful cold) I know I experienced some pretty nasty effects when I stopped.\n\nI do know that the manufacturer of Robitussin (Whitehall-Robbins) makes it taste unpleasant because they want to discourage abuse.

Yes, it's normal to be nauseated for the first couple days or so when you start the pill. It will stop.

Yes and I began to lose parasites after the fourth day on the Paranil capsules. Every day I lost ‘things’ that looked abnormal and different from anything I had seen before. Everything from tiny little black ‘eggs’ to little pieces of tomato skin colored things that looked like short, small pieces of straw; not to mention the clear squid-looking items that I could clearly see tiny black eggs inside. Ugh! I never thought that such things were growing inside my intestines. I was on the product for a total of 90 days. I feel better and I can tell that my vitamins and mineral supplements are more effective. My fingernails are stronger now, my complexion is clearer, and my skin is not as dry as it was before the cleanse.

Metallic or acidic taste in mouth can be caused by gastric problems, lead poisoning, or scrombotoxic fish poisoning.\n\nThere are other causes such as deteriorating fillings, and possibly a mineral imbalance. \n\nYou should check with a doctor to determine the actual cause.

You are definitely right to look into Lupron's side effects.  If we were to believe the docs and Takeda Abbott Pharmaceutical's prescribing literature, we'd all think Lupron was the greatest thing since sliced bread.  It's not.\n\nSide effects are potentially extremely negative and long-lasting, and include (as reported by the manufacturer itself):\n\nIncluding but not limited to - Asthenia, General pain, Headache, Hot flashes/sweats, Nausea/vomiting, GI disturbances, Edema, Weight gain/loss, Acne, Hirsutism, Joint disorder, Myalgia, Decreased libido, Depression/emotional lability, Dizziness, Nervousness, Neuromuscular disorders, Paresthesias, Skin reactions at injection site, Breast changes/tenderness/pain, Vaginitis, Flu-like symptoms, Heart palpitations, Syncope, Tachycardia, Appetite changes, Dry mouth, Thirst, Ecchymosis, Lymphadenopathy, Anxiety, Insomnia/Sleep disorders, Delusions, Memory disorder, Personality\ndisorders, Rhinitis, Alopecia, Hair disorder, Nail\ndisorder, Conjunctivitis, Ophthalmologic disorders, Taste perversion, and Dysuria. \n\nTypically, users of Lupron experience what is known as Clinical Flare, which is an exacerbation of side effects and symptoms during the first 2 injections or so; after about the 3rd injection, the symptoms for which you are using the drug (i.e., Endometriosis) may begin to temporarily decrease.\n\nHopefully, because of the way in which you are taking it and the reason for which you are taking it (which is off-label usage, not that it's that big of a deal), you will be one of the lucky ones who only experiences minimal side effects for a short time and in whom the drug is effective and has no negative effects. Good luck to you.

Most likely it is some form of indigestion.  One that comes to mind is lactose intolerance, because the same thing happens to me when I drink milk, eat ice cream, or anything like that.  (It's only been the last few months.)\n\nBut if it has gone on for 3 days, you need to see a doctor.  There are other possibilities, some of which are more serious and definitely require treatment.  Only a doctor can tell you whether it is anything that needs to be treated.

I took Lunesta and found that it didn't work at all for me.  I had a metal taste in my mouth and it simply didn't allow me to sleep.  Ambien is addicitve and causes amnesia.  There is a new drug out called Rozerem.  It is non-addictive and it works to increase your bodies own melatonin in your brain.  You can stop it at any time.  I find it helpful in getting back to sleep once I have woken up.  Also, if you can get some soft meditation or ocean sounds on an ipod or any other headphone system that may remove "mind chatter" if the casue of your sleelessness if anxiety.  good luck.  I have had sleep problems for over a decade.  Get a handle on it quickly or it will get away from you and make you sick in other ways from pure exhaustion.\nBest wishes.
