I have been on Plaquenil, Biaxin, Doxy 2x's a day morning and night. Lately at bedtime I am getting this terrible taste in my mouth, during the day I don't get this taste, does anyone know what I can do to stop this? Any help would be appreciated.

Biaxin is known to cause a bad taste. If you aren't doing so, take the Biaxin with food. I also found drinking lots and lots of water helped.

thanks for the reply, I do take all my meds right after I eat dinner and drink plenty of water, it seems when I lay down for bed is when I get this horrible taste in my mouth.

Yup, Biaxin will do that to you! frequent drinks (nonalcoholic of course!) was the way I dealt with it.
Good luck
