Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Metallic taste is found as a side effect among people who take Ranitidine 150 mg.
The symptoms will go away if you will stop the medication.
Meanwhile I suggest you to consult your doctor for an alternative medication.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
