> I just know I lost my taste and smell 8 years ago and eat dark chocolate nightly to try and taste at least a little bit. I take such low doses of ssri's don't think it's that they the docs said virus or the antibiotics took for chronic lymes. Phillipa
As an aside, I took a serious hit to my sense of taste after using Listerine Total Care (the fluoride rinse one with the purple color). Burned my tongue and only many months later after stopping using it am I getting my full sense of taste back. So if you are using any mouthwashes, try stopping them for at least three months and see if it helps.
Also a lot of people sued Zicam after they lost their sense of smell after using the inhaled gel form of it, and got a settlement from the company. I used to use it for colds but stopped after I read about that.
