Hi,

Sumatriptan can cause bad taste in the mouth especially few days after starting treatment.Topamax also causes a funny taste in the mouth, if you are still on Topamax. It is very unlikely that the bad taste is related to the MRI scan that you underwent. Driniking lot of water usually helps.
I would also suggest you to maintain a headache diary and try and identify the triggers for your migraine because the best treatment for migraines is identification and avoidance of triggers. Good luck!
