In reply to odd tastes, and coffee in particular, posted by zinya on May 27, 2003, at 18:18:36
I didn't notice any difference in the taste of water or coffee. I've never liked drinking plain water and still don't, but force about 6 glasses down each day. I drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day. Taste the same to me. I changed the kind of beer I drink (I drink occassionally) That seemed to help with the taste difference. I no longer drink wine, it taste strange now.
I've read several of you discussing drinking and the odd taste of wine, etc. you experience. I'm not drinking alcohol at all and in fact made sure i'd cleared my last beer out of my system before starting this (although the prospect of never drinking again is daunting -- but something had already changed in me due presumably to the depression which had made alcohol have a very different effect on me than it used to, no longer able to drink even a glass without a certain day-after malaise or worse...

I tend to drink bubbly water and i don't see how i could get by without my morning espresso (which i realize could have a weird interaction with Effexor too - does anyone know?)... but it also tastes different already just on day #2.
