About 2% of patients suffer from dysgeusia (metallic taste in the mouth) while on Prozac. It is even more common in females above 40. This can go away within a couple of weeks however if it presists you might have tk change the medication. I know it is probably also making you a bit nauseous which usually comes with dysgeusia
