Hello Larry, Burning mouth syndrome is also caused by using Ditropan. I find that if I take my Ditropan three times a day, 10 mg at a time my mouth will do the same. I have spaced out the time that I take Ditropan to every four hours but only take 5 mg tablets.
Something that works for me is Xlimelts, which helps produce saliva and keeps the mouth moist. Another thing that I do is keep a small Dixie cup of peanut butter by the bed and put a small bit in my mouth. The oil in the peanut butter helps things. When it happens it hurts, good luck.

As you know, I have been fighting a weird ailment called burning mouth syndrome for several months now. For the last few days it has been awful. It feels like my tongue and lips have been sandpapered. Anything even a bit spicy brings me to tears. My question -- I have been holding a metal stylus between my teeth in order to type. Could this metal possibly be the problem? My other suspect is ditropan. All thoughts welcome. Larry Willis Retired and proud of it
