Hi Jasmine, all too common I'm afraid. I've had it for 30 weeks and although some days are better than others, it's a nuisance. I've tried all sorts of mouth cleansers, washes, get my teeth cleaned every 2 months but no joy. Adequate hydration is important with moisturising gels. It changes the taste of some food as well. It seems more common with Victrelis. All part of the fun!

I am on my 19th week of TX (triple with vic). Since approximately week 5 I have really bad taste in my mount but from what I read here on this forum it is common. Some days it was worst and some it was better. However, in the last 3 weeks I am walking with a taste that feels like someone dumped a nuclear waste into my mouth and now it's always there. It never goes away, no meter what i try.

I wonder if anyone else here had similar. Thank you   ~Jasmine
