What Causes Bad Taste In Mouth While On Bupropion?

default
Posted on Fri, 21 Oct 2016
Question: I am having an extremely hard time eating. My stomach growls and feels empty, but food just isn't appealing. I am super thirsty and liquids don't bother me. Any good substance I put in my mouth immediately tastes bad and makes me queasy. Please help. I am also very shaky and unsettled feeling.

Brief Answer:
Hi, I notice you are taking Bupropion for smoking cessation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I notice you are taking Bupropion for smoking cessation. This medicine in fact can lead to the complaints you describe. This may last till you finish the course. Please take fruit and green smoothies twice a day. This will make you feel better. Also take some over the counter preparation for gas and acidity like pantocid which really helps a lot. You need to somehow tide over this phase and not give up if you want to succeed in your efforts to give up smoking. Great job that you are trying hard! But if you really feel very down, I would suggest you get in touch with your Physician.

Wish you all the best.

Regards.
