Funny you should ask about taste , I was only thinking yesterday afternoon that my mouth has always fell thick and have an odd taste since I have started preds. Have been on them 6 months now so I gueess its par for the course.
Still have taste though. EileenH marilyn You can also get a nasty taste with PMR alone and I have seen lists of symptoms that mention it. I did. And yes - I looked it up and, as I thought, it happens at the point where your body runs out of carbs and needs to use lipids fats to produce energy. It's called ketoacidosis - it isn't dangerous in people who are NOT diabetic by the way and just happens for a short time unless you are fasting for a very long time when it lasts a bit longer until the body sorts out how it is working so being on a low carb diet isn't a long term problem.
Yes I get this too. You are more likely to have a serious side effect if you take a higher dose of prednisolone or if you have been taking it for more than a few weeks.

These are not all the side effects of prednisolone. I now use listerine kills alot of the bacteria which is more prevailent with a dry mouth. This has finially helped with the dryness and bad breath.

Posted 7 years ago7 users are following. This may be just me but been on pred for 1 year with my pmr. But sometimes in later afternoon I get this strange taste in my mouth. Been to dentist and all is good there. Lert me know if anyone has had this.
Thank you ahead for any answers. Posted 7 years ago. I wonder if it has anything to do with blood sugar levels because I get a similar taste as far as I remember about mid-morning having not eaten for over 12 hours.
Eating something gets rid of it. Pred changes the way your body processes carbs so maybe that is another reason why it happens when you are on pred.

Yes I get this too. My doctor told me it is part of the acid reflux that I get from taking the pred. Thank goodness they help with the pain.
I sometimes forget that pred is the drug, not the disease! The only thing that helps my mouth is 'Dactarin Gel' that I get on my regular prescription.
You could try this. Hope it works for you. EileenH debbie Wonder how he'd account for mine then since I had it even long before pred. Hi Eileen. I think the Daktarin helps because of the orange flavour. It must be stronger than the 'acid'. I only found out it helped because I was prescribed it for oral thrush some time ago and tried it in desperation a couple of weeks ago when all my food seemed to taste of plastic and I developed cuts and sores on my tongue another symptom of acid reflux disease apparently.
She has prescribed Metoclopramide but they are not helping a lot. Think it might be the dreaded endoscopy next! Ho hum! Debbie, try Mrs tip for acid reflux, it has worked for some many of us. Are you on any anti-acid medication? Like omeprazole or ranitidine? Don't take the metoclopramide for long though - has some unpleasant potentially permanent side effects which happen if you take it longterm.
I was on Omeprazole for a year but I thought it might be causing the palpitations so I have changed to Ranitidine. The doctor did say I can't take the Metoclopramide for too long.
Since they are not doing a lot she will probably not give me any more. I am a bit worried that my eosophagos is damaged from the acid as I keep choking on my food, my breath is raspy and food feels like it gets stuck in my upper chest as well as tasting of plastic. Upside is, that it is helping my diet lol! Thanks lodger. I will give it a go.
Also thank you for your offer of help with the med students. I will pm you when I am preparing next week. Contains personal information. Duplicate post. Offensive topic. Delete request or other:. Notes on Does anyone get a strange taste in their mouth from taking prednisone close.
That metallic taste is unbearable. Despite that, I want to know directly from people who used it or prednisone: does it start working/healing immediately? localhost › Oral Care › Guide.

You could be having a serious allergic reaction and may need immediate treatment in hospital. There are things you can do to help cope with them: Weight gain If you have to take prednisolone for more than a few weeks, it's likely that you'll put on weight.I have a quick question I am currently taking 40 mg of pred. Only because my body could not handle the 60 mg my doctor wanted me on I have been for the past few days dealing with a numbness and a lack of taste on my tongue I wish I had a better way to describe how I was feeling Beside the overall horrible feeling this drug is giving me this mouth thing is totally annoying I am craving salty food just for taste.
Which is bad for me also I am down to 6mgs but I have this wierd tongue thing also. Mine is slow to move and my jaw moves slow too. Like if I am eating, chewing is wierd. Like my jaw does not move as fast as I want to chew. Happens when talking too. If I move my lower jaw side to side it sort of drags or seems to have tremors.
Bethw76 Yes! I have the lack of ability to taste food, often a bad taste in my mouth sometimes metallic, sometimes like I imagine 3-day old road kill might taste like , and a sense that there is a film there, which may or may not be similar to the numbness you're mentioning I don't remember having any of those particular mouth feelings before Prednisone.
Sounds the same. Slowness to move. Not muscle weakness. And I've gotten it since being on Prednisone. I'm starting to taper now and hoping it goes away I do take mg calcium, mg magnesium, and try to eat potassium rich foods every day banana, leafy greens, coconut water.
Yesterday a Rheumatologist recommended trying to add Zinc and Alpha Lipoic acid as well My legs are real weak too. I have been trying to avoid a steroid boost but maybe it is time to throw in the towel. Yes, it is the prednisolone that gives that bad taste in the mouth - I get that metallic taste too which I so dislike. I spend a lot of time brushing my teeth and cleaning my tongue, not much help but psychologically makes me feel better.
I use sugarless gum quite a lot as a result of this problem. Have not yet found anything to combat it, if you do let us know. I am having problems as well. I don't have the metallic taste, mine is more salty. I am also having problem with my teeth looking a little yellow no matter how many times I brush. Due to the dryness, I have developed a little"groove" at the base of the gum.
Glad to know I am not alone in this.. Yes metallic is exactly what I taste. I have been putting salt on everything trying to give thing flavor. I find myself chewing ice also Just so I numb the fowl taste in my mouth Of well I go Tuesday back to my doctor and unfortunately the pred is not touching any of my pain or symptoms so I think I have to start the methotrexate.
Which I heard is absolutely horrible Of well If anyone can help me with what I may expect I would appreciate that I also had taste problems when on 40mg, i was on that for 7 months, now tapering off..
In response to your comment about possibly starting "meth", I've found it's w-a-y better, for me at least, than prednisone. Been on and off prednisone for many years, finally got a really good breathing test result, and Doc was then ready to wean me off the pred and start the meth. Still haven't lost the 20 lbs gained from pred hey, it's the holidays! Hope that eliminates the fear some.
Good Luck. And Merry Christmas! I have been on prednisone for over a year. I take another drug also, which gives the dry mouth, garbage can smell.. I now use listerine kills alot of the bacteria which is more prevailent with a dry mouth. This has finially helped with the dryness and bad breath.
