@klbc1990, I do not take anything prior. @Cathygr, maybe I need to look into taking something prior. I dread getting MRIs due to the fact that I get so nauseated and it happens every time I receive the contrast.

You should make sure your dr and radiologist know before your next MRI. They may pre medicate you. I get a bad taste in my mouth, like lead taste. Sometimes they will give the contrast slower. If I have IVP dye I have to be premeditated with Benadryl, prednisone and zantac a certain amount of time before the test.

@GodsProperty. I thought it was only me who experienced this. I mentioned it to my PCP after my last MRI (brain & cervical) in June 2013. She said that she'd note it but wasn't sure if it was caused by the Valium (I take it due to claustrophobia while in tube) or from the contrast. I'll ask my MS doc when I see her in August. Do you take anything prior to your MRI for anxiety or claustrophobia?

My neurologist is aware of it, he says that it is a side effect.
