Good Luck tapering I could taste the prednisone when I first started taking it, and what was even more terrible was the Flagyl - it was bitter and horrible. I realized it also had a bit of a dusting on it from the pill bottle so I started gently wiping off the pills before I took them and that helped with both of them.

It doesn't seem to matter what I drink with it or what I eat after. That taste is in my mouth for about 30 minutes. Any tricks? Gromit Senior Member. Put a strong tasting liquid in your mouth first, tilt head back, pop pill in mouth without having it touch lips, swallow.

It is a very "dusty" pill! LuTC Guest. Heck yes I did this with a spoonful of hummus just now and went spectacularly! Thanks so much.
Idk When I take it I recommend syringing it to the back of your mouth and immediately drinking a flavored drink water will not get rid of the taste. 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. I do it twice a day. Morning and night. However, that information will still be included in details such as numbers of replies.

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 likeand 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.
