Burning Mouth Syndrome: Anyone had success with compounded mouth rinse
Skin Health | Last Active: Apr 7 3:06pm | Replies (46)Comment receiving replies
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

Mayo Dermatology prescribed a 1mg tablet of clonazepam swish and spit 2-3 times per day and alpha lipoic acid supplement (200 mg) 3x per day. The combination has made a world of difference with BMS symptoms! I have about 70% relief within 2 months of starting this regimen.
I need to make a rinse with Clonazepam 0.5 mg ODT. How do I dissolve it to swish it in my mouth without swallowing it? I have been on Diazepam (Valium since 1998 and am not switching to Clonazepam - it is only for the BMS I developed that is out of control and my mouth a mess with burning, severe dryness, cuts, splits, fissures, etc., with severe pain. My teeth feel like razor blades cutting my tongue, lips, and mouth. It started with dryness and acid when my doctor let my esophagus be narrowed by anterior osteophytes growing and putting mass effect on my esophagus. I do not want to swallow any of the mix, swish around, but my RX does not say how to dissolve. It says to let it dissolve in my tongue, but I feel that might let me swallow some. Thank you for any help.

Thank you! I am trying the compounded Clonazepam, as Mayo Dermatology will not prescribe the disintegrating tablet to swish and spit. I am truly hoping to finally get some relief from this condition!
