Metallic taste in mouth symptoms and conditions

I don't know if my problem is from Aciphex or GERD or possible ulcer I'm going to be tested for in 2 weeks. I have awful tingling/burning in my tongue and gums. It's horrible. Began at the same time I started Aciphex a few weeks ago. Had taken Aciphex before with good results. I don't know what this burning is about, but have to stop Aciphex for 2 weeks before being tested for ulcer. I'll advise if symptoms stop with stopping the Aciphex. I also have metallic taste in mouth.

I was told at the doctor's office that I had bronchitis and I was given Biaxin 500mg x 2 a day (generic form is Clarithromycin), I took it the first day wasn't sure if the side effect was from the bronchitis or from the medication. By the 2nd day, I took the first pill, after that it was downhill from there. I suffered anxiety, metallic taste in mouth, severe nausea, dizziness and vertigo. I feel completely horrible. I stopped taking the medication yesterday and I still have vertigo and nausea feels awful. The side of effects are worse than the sickness itself! Never again will i take this horrible pill!

Acne on jawline/shoulders/back, major sun sensitivity, anxiety!, weight gain, absolutely NO sex drive, bleeding in between periods, bloating, sometimes a metallic taste in mouth for a week at a time whether chew it or not, migraines, breast aching, cramps at weird times in the cycle... My Dr. switched me to this after I asked for one with a generic because I was tired of paying the $20 copay. After a couple months of samples I went to fill the prescription. There is NO generic and I had to pay $40 because my insurance didn't cover it. Thanks Doc! Then they refused to switch me because I was only on it a couple months. I don't know why I have put up with it for so long - partly because they gave me a bunch more free samples and I'm just a busy person - I've been taking it for maybe a year and a half now. After breaking out in nasty rash yesterday in the sun I have HAD IT! The doctors must get some kind of kickback for prescribing this garbage. I DO NOT recommend Femcon FE!!

Has anyone had mouth numbness or metallic taste in mouth? My mouth feels chalky.

I was prescribed prednisone for an allergic response to crab. I had been given it before for out of control asthmatic bronchitis and had experienced the usual, muscle pain, strange metallic taste in mouth, water retention, insomnia and elevated BP. But after the crab allergy I was given it IV all at once. The next morning my fingers were all tingly and that pins and needles thing began to travel up my arm, also I was anxious, really anxious and I felt like my eyes weren't focusing right. I took some benadryl and felt a bit better. For the next six weeks I was in hell. I felt absolutely insane. I had panic disorder and only felt OK at home, so I avoided going out at all costs. A visit to my doctor yielded a diagnosis of steroid reaction and prescriptions for zyrtec and klonopin. At 7 weeks out, one morning, I was just fine again, no panic BP normal.

Undaunted, I took 20 mgs one day a few months later, had to drive 12 hours on inflamed back and thought the anti-inflammatory action would be worth it. 7 more weeks of insanity resulted. Never again. I now know what crazy feels like.

I was prescribed Keflex following spinal fusion surgery and noticed immediate reactions. These included: ringing in ears, hot and cold flashes, loss of taste and smell, and terrible metallic taste in mouth.

Heartburn; shortness of breath; feels like a huge balloon is inside me, from the bottom of my chest, to my throat. Have difficulty even talking. Now there's headaches at nighttime. I'm a very healthy 40-yr-old woman, yet I feel like I'm embarking on something very bad. I'm drinking bottles of bubbly water and rolls of Rolaids to get myself to burp and relieve the pressure. My internist doesn't think it's the Levaquin, but I thought it from day 1.

I have a seve4e bronchial infection and was prescribed Levaquin 750 mg once a day for 5 days. Tomorrow will be my fifth day although I will not be taking it. When I started the medication I was beginning to feel better although I still had a really bad cough. I was also put on an inhaler.
I woke up today and felt like I have been hit with a truck. I can't hold anything in my hands, my kneew and ankles feel like someone took a bat to them and I have spent all day trying to figure out why I felt worse overall and now why I was feeling this horrible pain that is practially crimpling me.
I found this site when I googled "sever bronchial infection and joint pain".
I'm calling my dr tomorrow but I'm scared. Will this be permanent. I already have 2 herniated discs in my back and now I can't even walk or get up from a seated position.
I have a 1 year old I cannot even hold and have ot have someone help me take care of.
I hope this goes away and soon. The pain is close to unbearable.

I have been taking levaquin for 4 days, after not having any sleep, severe hot/cold feelings, almost like being rubbed down with Icy Hot, shivering but sweating, leg cramps, metallic taste in mouth. Went to the Dr. and was told I was healing fine, (had 5 treatments to bust up a kidney stone with a stent inserted) and that he was at a loss for why I was feeling so bad. He made me feel aweful as though my sypmtoms were in my head. I am glad I found this forum, what a relief of mind!

I've been on topamax for 3 1/2 months & was on 25 mg & then was pushed up to 100 mg when I started to have more severe migraines & "seizing" in my arms & legs. Here are a list of my symptoms: increased sleepiness, gait problems, word recall, more difficulty w/dysgraphia, increased ADD problems, increased lability, increased hypersensitivity to stimuli (seizing in limbs increased), pins & needles, metallic taste in mouth, asthma worsened, sleep became more disrupted, lost weight (already skinny), increased facial hair, strange menstrual symptoms, basilar migraines worsened, hemiplegic migraines started occuring at increased rate, suspicious that it may cause or excacerbate pre-existing sleep apnea (haven't been evaluated yet), feel like a stroke patient, weakness on right side of body, can't drink soda, increased impulsiveness, confusion, increased speech problems, increased GERD...this has really messed me up.

you really should be careful giving this to patients who may have a sleep disorder, previous head injury or breathing issues...Is this safe for people w/ asthma, sleep apnea, cerebral palsy, sleep disorders, etc.? Will these side affects wear off or is permanent?

I have nothing to thank Topamax for.

Swelling of legs, metallic taste in mouth with burning feeling of the tongue, hive like rash that itches and goes away, dry throate, and tiredness.

I have been off this poison for exactly a month now.....and my symptoms seem to be getting worse.....i ended up in the ER last weekend thinking i was having a stroke or heart attack but they couldnt find any....i have a rash on my legs and back the dr says is hives....my leg cramps never go away and still have stomach cramps and grumbling....dr says its stomach hives.....never heard of that....metallic taste in mouth sometimes and spells of feeling really ill....arms go numb etc....joints ache.....pains in hands and feet.....on the dash diet and taking supplements.....i pray i get better....

I have been taking Biaxin for seven days. Thank goodness this is my last dose. I've had all the regular symptoms (naseau, upset stomach, diarrhea, metallic taste in mouth morning, noon and night), but I also have noticed a severe break out with acne, night sweats and tiredness. I feel like I can hardly keep my eyes open. I forgot one dose and felt almost like myself again, guess that's what triggered me to finally take the medicine. I will not take this medicine again. I'd rather get a yeast infection from some of the other antibiotics than feel like a walking zombie again. This is some strange stuff. I even quit taking my zoloft while taking this antibiotic thinking it was the interaction of the two drugs, but it didn't help.

I've taken metronidazole twice in the past year for intestinal parasite. 700 mg, 3x a day for ten days.

I have an awful metallic taste in mouth, dark brown urine, lost of appetite, fatigue, and headaches. Some days are better than others.

I have found that drinking beverages at room temp with out ice helps along with hot food. Something to do with the temp of the food brings out the metalic taste.

I also chew gums and suck on peppermint candy to mask the taste.

Started on 20mg 4 days ago. Started to have severe anxiety and panic attacks, unable to focus eyes properly, legs not part of me, daren't drive. Visited emergency health clinic twice in one day with stroke symptoms. BP 160/100, slurred speech, metallic taste in mouth, no appetite. Will not take anymore of this so called medicine. It could have killed me.

Don't know which is worse, the complete blockage in my sinuses, or the Biaxin. This is the second course of antibiotics I've taken this month to cure it and this antibiotic is the worst.....metallic taste in mouth that never goes away and wakes me up at night to remind me of it's every lasting presence, diarrhea, constant upset stomach (like I'm hungry, but not), yeast infection - the only upside to it is that my moods are better (not worse). I only have 2 more days to go. My provider told me to reduce my Biaxin to 1 perday instead of two (to cut out the metallic taste), but I'm just gonna suck it up and finish the meds. Sounds like others have similar complaints about the drug....which they could fix the metallic taste and the diarrhea - then I'd be happy.

first night on biaxin, had increased heart rate, 100 resting. I woke up in the middle of night last night with severe metallic taste in my mouth, checked web for metallic taste in mouth and this web site came up for side effects of this medication, how strange.Felt better yesterday.T his is my 3rd day on, so wondering what is next. I guess its better than the infection, but I wonder if I should change after reading other comments.

also 12 hours after 2nd pill i felt side effects,very vivid nightmares quite real and extreme,upper ab pain,diarea,metallic taste in mouth,quick to anger mood swings,night sweats.i have been a bouncer for 13 years im lean 225 pds 6 feet tall dont drink smoke or do drugs and the nightmares actually scare me, involving violence,they are also very emotional i cry in them sometimes,involving past and present relationships they are very emotional!!!, but the violence and emotional parts are seperate parts of the dreams, they take turns in the nightmares which make them quite a roller coaster of emotions
