loss of taste

Well maybe I never really had any taste anyway. But about 3 days ago, I suddenly couldn't taste anything. It is very weird to eat something and have it only be a texture. It is really bugging me. I don't know if it is from xeloda, tykerb, minocycline, effexor, trazedone, coumadin or what (man that is a lot of medication for someone still, barely but still, in their 30's).

Does anyone have any thoughts? I have defineitely had temporary changes in my tasters through the years and treatments, all of which were expected. But this is a little different and very annoying.
