Gabapentin has relieved my burning mouth/tongue syndrome, but now I have Dupuytren's Disease. My hand specialist says Gabapentin is not to blame, but there are so many articles from reputable sources that say it is to blame. If I stop Gabapentin, the mouth burning will return. I am at a loss. Do I choose a mouth on fire or do I take the only medication available to treat my burning mouth and suffer the side effect of having Dupuytren's disease. What to do? I have nowhere to turn. I do not trust the medical profession, as I never seem to get a straight answer.
