Burning Mouth Syndrome. I have it very severe.

I have had burning mouth syndrome for several years now. I too, have been to different doctors. My primary physician sent me to an ENT, then to a naturopath, and finally to a neurologist. He prescribed Lamotrigine, 100 mg 2 tabs in the morning and three tabs every evening. It has made a huge difference in my life. I still have the syndrome, but hardly notice it anymore. I hope this works for others also.

@lynschupbach For BMS I have been through a series of drug suggestions, none worked. By now BMS has affected my entire mouth (thickened tongue, lips) as well as continuous burning sensation in various spots. These conditions have also affected my speech; I now have a lisp, for example. I have changed my diet drastically, including elimination of most of my favorite foods. Someone told me that it was caused by eating too many peppers (not hot, just sweet red peppers). It seems that this condition is very common, but most docs have never heard of it. Very discouraging to think this is IT for the rest of my life.
