To Moka,

I was on one particular antibiotic and one of the side effects for me was my sense of smell heightened like a bloodhound. I could smell everything and it was not a good thing. I could now smell bad breath on 50% of people I spoke to when I was standing 3 feet away from them. I would walk up to a particular machine and get knocked over by the smell of the hydraulic oils leaking from it. I could not wash or gargle enough to make myself get rid of even my own smells. Having a sensitive sniffer sucks.

My sniffer went back to normal about 3 weeks after stopping the antibiotic. Point is, yes, certain pills can make you smell things –real or imagined.
