@mikejjb123, Allow me tag other members like @rickgc @nanny23 @modelmiche @plm2019 @bonnieh218, who have also taken Dexilant (dexlansoprazole). They may be able to share their experiences and offer tips. Changes in taste or metallic taste is listed as a less common side effect of dexlansoprazole.

Mike, is this the first time you've taken a proton pump inhibitor to help control your nausea and GERD? Might you talk about switching to a different PPI if it is helping you? You mention you are also confused. Is the medication causing a side effect of confusion or were you meaning that you confused about what to do regarding the acidic taste?
