Effexor and taste

Posted by NikkiT2 on July 26, 2000, at 5:23:30

Sorry I haven't been around here much, but been having problems with this damned registration system!! :o)

Anyway, after 2 weeks on Effexor I feel so much better already. Alert, clear headed, happier.. all in all, things are going good (and fingers crossed this isn't just and "episode"!)

Anyway, over the past couple of days, things have all tasted slightly wierd. I thought my lunch yesterday had gone bad as it stated strange, but then everything I ahve eaten or drunk recently has tasted strange. Like my whole taste buds have changed.

is this a normal side affect with Effexor (taken with Thiorizadine). It's annoyng me a bit, as things aren't actually tasting better!

Thanks all, and happy vibes to you all!!

Nik,

Glad you're back, and yeah, this new registration system is kind of a pain the a**. Sorry Dr. Bob, but it's true, it's true.

I was going to post awhile back about the taste and smell thing, but never got a round tuit. About 5-6 months ago I experienced a month and a half of, are you ready for this, everything tasted and smelled like the sauce that Taco Bell (a local fast food restaurant just in case you don't have one there) puts on most of there foods.
Didn't matter what I ate, salads, vegetables, meat, whatever! Needless to say, I don't eat there anymore... Weird what our meds can do to our olfactory senses. Thankfully that has passed.

I'm thrilled that things have gotten so much better for you. I think it gives those of us who are having problems hope that we can get there too. Keep telling us about your successes, we need to hear that! Stay in touch when you can.

Hugs,
Greg
