I have been on neurotin since last November. I noticed the loss of taste immediately. I am not as aware of it anymore but that could simply be because of have gotten used to it. My doctor looked up "all" the possible side effects and that is one of the really rare ones. I decided to put up with it because it really helped with the pain.
If I were you I would call the doctor back that prescribed the medication and have him change you to something else. Everything will come with it's own side effects so you probably will have to decide what you can live with in order to relieve the pain but I would not wait until your visit with your new doctor. That is too long to be completely freaked out.
I hope you get some help soon.
