No, I've not had a head injury. My tasteless-ness began, I think, when I started taking the tranquilizers (Xanax and Klonapin) and the effexor, and I once I thought it was the anxiety and the tingly feeling from that or the tranquilizers but now I'm off them for several months and I still have the tingling, lack of much taste, so I figure its got to be the effexor. I'm now down to 75mg/day. I have some body ache and a little nausea. I'm trying a low dose of Benedryl and was able to take a nap this afternoon. I just started seeing a physical therapist for my hip and back pain and he feels I will find long-lasting relief by doing pilates type exercises, since I have very little muscle tone in my abdomen and it allows my hip bones to move around too much and get out of allignment. I'll see him once or twice a week, to add to the exercises and for supervision on doing them correctly. Not feeling well and being sort of a couch potato the past year has really taken its toll. More exercise will always help my emotional health too, as I decrease the meds. Wish me luck.
