In reply to Burnt Buttered Popcorn....seriously, posted by Greg on October 6, 2000, at 21:03:22
Greg--
You might be interested in the URL that stjames suggested to Stace in the "Unreality" thread (near bottom of the meds page). Unusual odors are one of the symptoms dealt with on the questionnaire. I thought that Note #7 of the Interpretation was thought-provoking as well.
The dynamic nature of your odor experiences was suggestive, to me. On the other hand, this "shot in the dark" is quite likely way off the mark.
Well wishes--medlib
> Ever since being dianosed with depression, I have had this strange aroma thing taking place. About once a month for a period of two to three hours I get this smell of burnt buttered popcorn. It starts off smelling like regular popcorn, but the deeper I breathe the more intense and burnt it smells. It gets so bad that I almost get sick. I've had it happen at work, at home, in my car, all different places. It's happened with all the different combos of meds I've taken. I get the smell for about 10 seconds, then it disappears for a minute or two and then comes back. After two or three hours it goes away altogether.
