"dr. started me on endep 2 months ago for chronic pain in the long bones caused by side effects from chronic myaloid leukaemia medication. it&#039;s the first time in nine years that i have felt &quot;almost&quot; normal! 
it makes me tired so i take it at night. the only drawback is dry mouth and loss of taste. the taste thing is driving me up the wall, and i don&#039;t know that i can live with it. so now i have to weigh up the pros &amp; cons of living without tasting my food, or living without pain."
