Is there anyone out there with Burning Mouth Syndrome? I suddenly got it 5 months ago. And my life is completely recked! Is there anything that has helped? I’ve already seen an internist, dentist, oral surgeon and an oral medical specialist. Not ready to start meds yet. I just started acupuncture which I heard can help. I’d like to try a holistic approach before meds.

I don't think we've connected before – nice to meet you!
I'm a big fan of Japanese acupuncture myself – it's been really helpful for the insomnia caused by some of my AEDs.
I came across information that B vitamin deficiency from AEDs can trigger burning mouth syndrome. Have you talked with your doctor about this side-effect? It might be worth having him or her check your vitamin B levels in your blood. If your levels are low, supplementing might help ease this side effect from Lamictal – definitely something to discuss with your doctor.
