Burning Sensation in Mouth


[Pu...]

Recommended Posts

Anyone here experience a burning sensation in mouth while going through withdrawal? I'm not sure what causes it but it seems that stress, talking, clenching, chewing and swallowing all seem to trigger more pain. I did have an MRI done recently which came back clear. I feel convinced that I'm experiencing nerve pain but for some reason no one can seem to find the cause. I feel concerned that maybe they're missing something but idk could be that there's no actual damage and just pain. Unless it's something else not nerve related but I think it would still show in the MRI. I'm mostly withdrawing from SSRI's but the withdrawal symptoms are similar and I'd like to hear your experience.

Hey there Patty, I too have experienced Burning Mouth Syndrome during my withdrawal from Benzos. It's INTENSE. It flares up whenever I take my regular medications and when I allow myself to become hungry. Then it flares up again right after I eat! It makes no sense, and it's driving me crazy. However, Burning Mouth Syndrome is a REAL THING. Prozac and Klonopin make it worse. Multi-Vitamins with Niacin make it worse. You're not making it up in your mind! (Which is what my psychiatrist told me I was doing, with all of my protracted withdrawal symptoms.) Please write back and tell me how you're doing!  Barbara
