After taste when starting humira

[Scaryman]

I just started humira a couple days ago and have a after taste in my mouth, is this humira or anyone else have this problem?

Never experienced that, its kind of weird that you would experience an after taste in your mouth when injecting.

Is it like a reaction? Like when your mouth waters when you smell food

 

[Scaryman]

No I wake up with it, happens at random times. But keep in mind I've only had my first injections. Not sure if its humira or methotrexate combo.

Prednisone can do that. I read in your by line you tapering off of it. I have all type of strange taste when on Pred.

 

[Scaryman]

Have to agree its not humira or methotrexate. Can He described the taste in your mouth when tapering prednisone?

 

[Dukeis]

Hard to describe. Somewhat of a bitter metallic taste.

Are you taking any antibiotics - like Cipro or Flagyl? Those usually give an aftertaste.

With pred, I find that sometimes water tastes salty or minerally. But once the pred wears off, water tastes like water again (i.e. no taste!).

Flagyl will make everything taste like metal. Not sure if you are taking it or not. Never had after taste with prednisone and neither with humira.


Best of luck.
