I had 2 back surgeries within 3 days of each other in March this year. I was on 300 mg Gabapentin 3xdaily and dr increased to 600 mg 3xdaily due to muscle pain. I startedfeeling really bad so weaned myself off over 6 weeks. I have not been taking it (along with Omeprazole) since July 1st. I now have had a metallic taste/smell for about 5 weeks. It is so bad that food and drinks don't taste the same as before and it makes my stomach hurt. I also found out recently that I have low platelet/WBC counts so have had further blood tests for that of which I get results next week. I had dentist xray my molars to be sure my metal fillings are not leaking and he mentioned that he thought the metallic taste is from the Gabapentin and thinks it will go away when completely out of my system. Is there anything else that would help me? Zinc?
