I got that really strongly at first with Biaxin, but it went away completely after a few weeks or maybe a couple months. Hang in there =)

Currently infected with Lyme, Babesia, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Mycoplasma, & Q-fever.

10 months into treatment, currently on Bicillin, Rocephin, Doxy, Biaxin, and Mepron.

I have it everyday and posted a question on here and I do not take biaxin?

I am on omnicef but I noticed that it comes after my supplements. I have it ruled down to the COQCF or the magnesium..one of them is causing me to have a constant metal mouth.

Now all i do it brush my teeth all day and use biotene trying to get rid of it??

--------------------
Diagnosed with chronic neuro lyme 12/10 after 30 years of vertigo.2 tick bites in 3 yrs from upstate NY. Was on omincef for nine mths..zith and rifampin stopped.Remission~ All the pain and symptoms are back and I am not treating now with biaxin.

I also have a metallic taste in my mouth and am on no meds. Sometimes I feel like I'm tasting the amalgams in my mouth...

Annier,

Omnicef is a Ceftrioxone related to Biaxin. May be that is why you are getting the metallic taste?

Ceftin is 1st generation, Biaxin is 2nd generation and Omnicef is 3rd.
