Horrifying side effect. I had dysgeusia (severely disgusting taste in my mouth like I was eating something totally rotten) so bad that even though there was no nausea and I was truly starving, any bite of anything I put to my mouth resulted in uncontrollable gagging.

Horrifying side effect. I had dysgeusia (severely disgusting taste in my mouth like I was eating something totally rotten) so bad that even though there was no nausea and I was truly starving, any bite of anything I put to my mouth resulted in uncontrollable gagging. I could NOT EAT ANYTHING! After 15 days of this I spent 5 days in the hospital with acute metabolic acidosis. I have been off this drug for 3 weeks and still have the nasty taste I my mouth.
