@jasmine98 I am glad that you are trying some medications to see if they help. Gabapentin did not help me but everyone is different. I may have mentioned that I am now on Duloxetine (Cymbalta). It has definitely made a difference. I am not saying that it has cured me but I do have days during the week where I do not even think about my mouth and suddenly I realize that I have gone a few hours with no salty or bitter taste. I am still sensitive to certain foods and if I use Biotene rinse I taste it for hours so my taste buds are still very sensitive. Very few people realize how debilitating this issue is. The other thing I take is a probiotic lozenger for oral health. It was recommended by someone on this group and also by a dry mouth specialist. I use it right before bed. Let us know if you get any relief from the gabapentin... Good luck.

@neisie13 I hope it gets better even more for you! truly it’s one of the worst thing to ever happen to me and no one understand how tiring and depressing it gets. I tried cymbalta in the past and I had a bad reaction so I’m on Gabapentin hoping it helps. How long did you stay on Gabapentin? I will keep you updated.
