Metallic taste after injection?

[jessica611]

I've just taken my second loading dose of Humira. I've noticed that after my first injection I get a really bad metallic taste in my mouth. I've been trying to read up about it to see if it's common. Some of the possible side effects scare me so maybe I'm reading too much into this. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have never had strange taste with Humira, but I wouldn't doubt that is what it is. Are you just taking Humira? I know flagyl did that to me.

I'm currently taking Humira, Asacol HD, Azathioprine, Allopurinol, and Nexium. I only notice the taste immediately after I start the injection. It goes away after 3-4 second, but it happens every time.

Can't say I have ever had that happen to me. When I get the shot I'm always thinking about bad it burns. Don't think I would notice a taste in my mouth.

Yes I had that as well, I countered it with brushing my teeth and mouth wash as much as I could, and also eating breath mints. But it WILL go away in a day or so. Hope this helps.
