Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about! When I was trying to stop doing heroin cold turkey...around the 2nd day I would smell this floral smell. Ugghh. It was horrible. I was already throwing up and that made things 10x worse! The first time I noticed it, my mom brought home jack in the box, so I associate the two. Blech!

It goes away after a couple days, so good luck!

Thanks, Thats what I needed to hear. I know I can beat the physical part of this, when I couldn't find anything on this I was worried I really had a problem that was permanent. Love music, the Skynerd song That Smell keeps playing in my mind evreytime I smell/taste this.

I had a horrid taste and smell while detoxing.  My family cooked a frozen pizza and now I associate that with it too, will never cook one again.  This part made no sense to me but neither did the sneezing and the yawning.  It will go away.

Hi~~  This is not too unusual. A lot of folks have talked about this.  Generally, it's all part of the detox process and the toxins leaving your body.  Keep up with good mouth care and a mouthwash.Also,rinsing with warm,salt water. But,first,look in your mouth. Is your tongue "coated"? Is it white or black?  If so,you need to call your Dr.  Could be an infection...
Good Luck~

Nuh uh - I've never heard of a side effect like this.  But if it's sweet at all, I know that's a symptom diabetics get on occasion.  I think it's in their breath.  I'll be interested to see if anyone else has experienced this!

But way to go re: Day 3.  :)
