Side effect of Prednisone, a bitter metallic taste?
How odd , me too I’ve not heard anyone else mention or complain of this . The constant taste in my mouth has put me off some of the foods I used to enjoy, as well as red wine ( and I don’t drink white wine or any other alcohol really)
I suppose being off alcohol because of prednisone is a strange but positive side effect.
Cheers to a dry 2025 .

I can't say the prednisone taste has put me off of anything, since another side effect of the prednisone is that I'm always hungry (or at least never knowing when I'm full), but I do taste the prednisone even when I'm eating.
I stopped drinking alcohol for several months after my GCA diagnosis, but once the prednisone dose got reduced to 15 mg per day or so, I started drinking some white wine again. I have a small glass a few times per week.
