Your story sounds so much like mine. I also have had this taste issue for well over a year. It started slowly where it would bother me a few times a month and then gradually it got worse to where it's now constant. Mine too is better in the morning and gets progressively worse as the day goes on. I too have been to so many specialists. I have one more to go and then I'll give up too. I made an appointment with a neurologist but he can't see new patients until March. The other one I tried isn't taking new patients until April. If the taste is overpowering the mouth guard doesn't help but most of the time it does give me some relief for a while and then I'll switch to gum, or no alcohol mouthwash, or a mint or brush my teeth. Like you, anything to hide the taste. Sorry that the mouthguard is not working for you. And I too have tinnitus but as you said, this is even worse. I started taking a senior mult vitamin that has B12 and Zinc but it may no have enough. So sorry to hear that your son died. I stopped so many medications that said it could cause a taste issue but that didn't help but I wish you luck with weaning off the Lexapro. There are days that are really bad and days that are a little more tolerable. I think some foods make it worse, like spicy, salty and even really sweet things. Anyway, keep in touch and yes maybe someday this will finally get better.
