I started Plaquenil and after I take it, I get a horrible taste in my mouth. Anyone have this? Does it go away in time?

I am supposed to take two a day and only take one so far.

Thanks

I get a strange taste, but not horrible. It is maybe slightly metallic to me?? (but nothing like Biaxin was! lol)

Yeah - Plaquinil does give me an *ick* taste in the mouth.

For me, it didn't go away until I was off it, so I always had gum handy.
