Detailed Answer:
Hello
Good day.
Which depot injection have you stopped?
Medroxyprogesterone? Usually that doesn't cause this. Are you on any other pills like flagyl or other antibiotic?
Do you have acidity or indigestion? ?

Brief Answer:
Hello

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The most common depot used in a female of your age is contraceptive drug called, medroxyprogesterone. This is not known to produce any altered taste. Breast soreness could be due to hormone changes which can happen after stopping the above drug. This may eventually disappear.

There are several reasons for altered taste in mouth and indigstion/acidity is the commonest cause, followed by many pils. But you are not on any other pills. It may be worthwhile to check blood glucose levels to rule out diabetes.
