terbinafine and loss of taste.
Posted , 2 users are following.
No taste still after day 17 since I stopped taking this medicine for a simple rash for 27 days. I am 61. Constant salty taste after eating. Cannot taste sweet and bread tastes sour. Get a few flavors for first 2/3 mouthfuls then nothing or weird sour taste no matter what I eat or drink...... trying to eat healthy but have lost my appetite but get cravings for meat which I don't eat much of and am missing being able to enjoy cheeses and fruits..all food really...FDA suggested I use alcohol such as wine to cleanse palate..not really a good solution for lunchtime at work.....if this carries on which I am told could be another month I will be eating like a hog if I get my taste buds back and will quickly put back on the weight I am losing...I sometimes forget and already miss going out with my hubby or girlfriends to relax with nice food...Be very aware of medications and side effects..no joke.....

Hang in there Margaret, it took me about 6 weeks to really notice improvement. On the up side, lost 15 pounds. On the down side, I've gained it back. Anyway, I found these threads good support even though some are years old.
