Oral lichen Planus: What home remedies or medications help you?

@joybringer1 - my lichen planus does not cause the burning of my tongue and mouth, it’s @cmtg who suffers from this. I get sores on my cheeks and gums and my whole mouth feels like I have hundreds of razor cuts, making it difficult to eat or drink.
Thankfully after the last flare, Fluocinonide gel 0.05% (brand name Lyderm gel) cleared it all.
Isn’t Clonazepam prescribed for anxiety?

@rashida, yes Clonazepam is prescribed for anxiety, but in my case it is prescribed for my burning mouth syndrome. The head of oral pathology at our local dental school prescribed this and said it was the only med that helped his patients. Now my PCP prescribes this and it does help. I am glad you found something to help with your problem. With all good wishes, @joybringer1

@rashida. Yes clonazepam is for anxiety but many researchers believe LP is caused or exacerbated by anxiety. There appears to be more prevalence of LP and therefore research of it in India. Their literature recommends the patient be put on 10 mg of diazepam as a course of treatment to see if that halts the spreading of this disease as it can go to almost every part of the body.
