In my experience, Peridex is the devil. Idk why anyone would prescribe this medication/mouthwash. It caused altered sense of taste. I only used it for three days, it’s been a week and I’m still recovering. Slowly gaining normal sense of taste back. I’ve been so anxious lately because of this horror that’s happened to me. I’m lucky I can taste because some people have LOST ALL TASTE. I’m so scared and worried because I don’t want to take this to the next level if for some reason I can’t get all flavor back. If I go to a ENT and tell them I can taste everything but can’t experience my food the same way, I don’t know if I’d be kicked out of the office or laughed at.
I can taste all basic flavors, but for some reason I cant taste certain foods in all of its entirety yet. Which is scary to me? I don’t know how to explain this phenomenon. It’s like Peridex wiped out a part of my brain that distinguishes what flavor is which. My fries from Chick-fil-A just tasted salty, but usually I taste more than salty. My sweet tea from chick fil a today tasted a little ... well dull. And I know they put a crap ton of sugar in there.
This afternoon I bought dark chocolate and milk chocolate and I can taste the difference between those now. Am I going insane? Am I getting better? I don’t know for certain yet. A dentist told me it took his wife a full month to regain all taste back from using Peridex... Idk how people live with no taste because I’m struggling to comprehend what Peridex did to my tastebuds. I only hope the intensity of chick fil a food comes back..
I don’t know how the heck to describe my situation. I can taste sweet salty bitter and all basic five senses. But for some reason when I eat certain foods the flavors don’t come out like they used to. I’m slowly getting those flavors back. My crown lengthening procedure makes me eat on one side so maybe that’s why I can’t taste the full experience.
If anyone has had a side affect like this from this medication and has recovered pls share your story. I don’t really know what’s going on. I can smell mostly everything too. Maybe it’s the pollen since it’s high here now and it’s making my throat and nose stuffed? I don’t know what to make of this. I’m grateful I didn’t lose my tastes, the basics. But I’m still confused. Peridex , WHAT DID you do to me?!
