Burning Mouth Syndrome: Anyone had success with compounded mouth rinse

It has not subsided with any treatments so far and began right after surgical menopause. I cannot tolerate any SSRI's or gabapentin, so that is not an option. I am trialing the clonazepam swish and spit, however insurance does not cover since it is compounded. Mayo Dermatology is also looking at possibly doing patch testing to determine the cause. I am glad yours subsided, it is a frustrating condition, and there are not a lot of treatment options that seem to be effective.

I was diagnosed withBMS in 1999 and have learned to “deal” with it as it comes and goes.
If I have an episode in the evening I take doxepin.
If I feel an episode coming on during the day I take 5 mg of klonopin.
For me it is usually brought on by stress, excessive talking, lack of sleep.

The head of oral pathology at our local dental school prescribed 0.5 mg of clonazepam 2-3 times a day. I find twice a day is enough for me and have been taking this for years. This is the only thing that has worked for me. Every once in a while I will take just one and I know it is time to go back to two when my mouth begins to burn. This can be a miserable condition without help so I hope you can try it. Before I found this answer, a rheumatologist prescribed a compounded swish and spit. It did not work. I am thankful for the clonazepam. @joybringer1
