Burning eyes and mouth

[[So...]]

Oh, my goodness, I think I've complained about this before but has anyone out there had burning eyes and mouth?  I don't know what to think of it, as it's been so bad lately. Just wondering if this is really benzo-related? It's driving me crazy...

Hi Sophia,

 

Just noticed your thread on burning eyes and mouth. I have both just like you, in fact my eyes feel like I have been staring at the sun. It was one of my first symptoms. I am spending less time on the computer due to the glare becoming so uncomfortable.

 

My mouth is so sore and sensitive it makes some foods and drinks impossible to take. Sometimes I feel like I am drinking bleach and it is really painful.

 

I have had this for over four years now and have had to adjust my diet, I can no longer eat some of my favourite things, which happen to be " Good healthy foods ".

 

Roll on the day when it will be all over. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sorry your feeling like this. =( It will pass.

 

I'm getting canker sores in my mouth... =( i've got 2 right now that are KILLING ME!

Thanks clem, tiggy and cnotr,

 

Even if this mouth and eye burning thing are frustrating, it's good to know others have had it.  Tiggy, I don't know how you have stood 4 years of it ~ oh, my goodness! During my taper, it would come, but leave as soon as I leveled out...not so much anymore, it's pretty much a full time gig at the moment!

 

Thanks for your replies!  Love, Sophia

hi sophia hun - yes i had this bad the first couple months off - the eyes burning and feeling weird and watery or something; like they must look odd to people

i would get it when i was slammed; it was when i had all the sx at one time or something; gurgling, dr/dp, weak, sick, anx and the eye thing

i don't have it anymore in the eyes now.

it will go away for u i am sure sweetheart

Thanks Pan, I appreciate your encouragement.  I don't know why, but I always feel so alone with each side effect...just need encouragement!  I hope you are feeling much better, as it sounds like you've had a tough week.  Take care, know I'm thinking of you, my teacher buddy!  Love, Sophia

[[oh...]]

I had burning and tingling gums,scalp,nose....you name it...and it probably tingled.

hi sophia - when i got slammed this week my eyes did the watery burning thing again.  you are such a sweetheart.  i hope you know that always

Pan,

Sorry to hear that your week hasn't been good and that the eyes are burning again. Mine just continue to burn.....sometimes more, sometimes less ~ but actually, on the bright side, it's one of my least annoying symptoms right now! GI crud and anxiety are my list toppers this month...such fun....NOT!  I keep thinking that it's ME and not the benzo withdrawal....you know the pattern, you think you have some new undiagnosed disease/disorder, and it drives you crazy trying to come up with a solution for it.....and then you go "duh" it probably REALLY is my post-withdrawal kicking in.  One more day left of teaching this week ~ hang in there!  I missed again today as I went to the doctor to discuss the 2 above symptoms....it was a good chat, but of course, not long on solutions.  Take care, Pan! I wish you peace and healing!!! Sophia
