So i have noticed, that since i have been ELIQUIS 5MG twice a day for sticky blood, my taste budds have changed. This is very strange toningt i had a salad, and i could taste the dirt, yet everything was washed.
ANYONE ELSE TASTE BUDDS HAVE CHANGED??
Things taste the same to me, but I have mysteriously lost 10+ pounds.
No sinus problems, its like the food i liked, tastes yuckie now..weird.
I've been on Eliquis almost a year now and haven't experienced this
You should really check it out with your doctor. There are a lot of reasons that you could have "funny taste," which could even be nerve damage or problems in your brain. It could possibly be a side effect we don't know about. Once I lost my taste after acupuncture. I ate an orange that tasted like water. The acupuncturist had hit a nerve. It was very weird, but it went away in a couple of hours.
Yes check to see if u have Sjogrens Syndrome! I have this and RA! Sjogrens affects ur eyes ad mouth area! I have trouble swallowing, swollen throat, ad restricted airways! Not sure if all that has to do with SJOGRENS, but swallowing and my tastebuds are affected! I brush my teeth multiple times a day due to dry mouth, which leads to bad breath! I also drink lots of water! I had bloodwork and was told by my eye doc I had this diseas that goes with APS! Check ur thyroid and vitamin D levels! Good luck and Godspeed!!!
Taste disturbance is a known side effect of warfarin, and I had it for a few months, however it has now either gone away or I have adapted to the new way stuff tastes. Sometimes I found things tasted weirdly over-enhanced which sounds similar to what you describe. The tongue is very vascular and very sensitive so I think any anti-coagulant could affect it - maybe our tongues were actually desensitized due to poor blood flow that is now corrected, and are now working normally, but our brains have been amplifying taste for a while to compensate and now need to learn to turn it down a bit.
I can't comment on this particular drug, but know antibiotics always make my taste buds alter for some reason. MaryF
Gluten free foods...anyone experienced feeling better on a gluten free diet?
Food reactions. APS causes?
Weird new symptom - quick feeling of blacking out and losing control
