Hi I had been on prescription opioids for 20 years. Because of finding it almost impossible to get a doctor for prescriptions and difficulty finding pharmacies to fill a prescription whine wintering in Fl. I decided to quit. Fitting my quitting process I had all the likely withdrawal symptoms however I lost my sense of tase and or smell. It came back after a few weeks partially and now I have lost my taste again. Has anyone had a similar problem and if so did your taste come back and of so how long did it take? Food tastes terrible and o Dom not feel like eating. Also have Stage 4-5 kidney disease however I do not think this is the cause. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new and this is my first posting. Thanks

    Yes it took me about a year before I could even stomach a cup of tea, I went off all my normal food and cereal and found it hard to replace them because I had no appetite, it won't last forever just keep trying and eventually it will get better😊
