Hi all, on my first day of Accutane I started having this metallic taste in my mouth about 2 hours after the first dose (20mg/day). I am on Day 3 and this metal/strange/bad taste is still there. I wouldn't say my mouth is terribly dry at all, but this taste is awful! Worse, it's not a listed side effect! Has anyone experienced this? Please respond!!!

Are you taking your pill with a drink? Or just swallowing it. Also be sure to drink lots of water throughout the day.

 

Other then that I'm not sure what would cause that. I would bring it up with your derm on your next follow up.

Do you have metal fillings in your mouth?

You know, it may not have anything to do with Accutane. It might just be a coincidence. You can get a metallic taste in your mouth from too much iron in your diet or your gums bleeding (blood usually has a metallic taste).
