Burning Mouth Syndrome: Anyone had success with compounded mouth rinse

Posted by nestletea @nestletea, Aug 16, 2021

I am a Mayo patient in Jacksonville, FL and have been suffering from BMS since January 2021. I have tried every natural remedy and food modification that the Mayo dermatologist recommended, with no success. The capsaicin rinse was not tolerable and caused mouth ulcers. My Mayo doctor just prescribed a compounded Clonazepam mouth rinse (.1mg/1ml) to "swish and spit" up to 3 times daily (5 ml at a times). Has anyone found success with this regimen? If so, how long did it take for symptom relief and at what dosage?

Something that helps me in the evenings is to pour a bit of vodka into a medicine cup and put the tip of my tongue in it. I don’t drink and I hate the taste but it burns and then numbs my tongue a bit.

I have had this with global tongue for 6 years now. It began when I had an abscessed tooth. I have gotten relief from a rinse made with kenalog (a steroid). I use it 4 times a day rinses for about 5 mins before spitting. I also like the oral b dry mouth rinse.
