what are you doing about the horrible taste in the mouth?

Yuck!  So some gum helps, sips of water, but it's there all the time.  Certainly not the worst sx.  Eating helps, but I'm already gaining wt lots.  Just wondering what others might be doing.  I remeber this from SOC, but I think it's worse with incevik or am I just forgetting?

I have noticed that right after and for a day or two after the shot, I get a nasty coated tongue and throat that tastes horrible, but is usually gone in a couple days. I'm on triple w/ incivek.
I thought it might be the lunesta, since I only take it on shot night.

I am  on Victrelis an have same issue.  I bought Biotene, mouthwash and toothpaste.  I use the mouthwash 2-3 times per day and then when I wake up in middle of night to use bathroom.  I think both have helped me quite a bit with bad taste and very dry mouth.
