A client that I work with was addicted to prescription medication. He has recently quit and went through an array of withdrawals. He is now doing well but has a problem with a salt taste on the tip of his tongue and lip. Is this also a part of withdrawal or is this something else? Any info would be appreciated.    Dr. Pies' Answer
