Frequent Cotton Mouth, Enlarged Circumvallate Papillae. On Xanax For Anxiety. Any Recommendations ?

Hello, my name is AAAA. i'm 29 years old male, 5'8" 140lbs.
I noticed recently that i've been getting more and more cotton mouth lately and i just thought it was allergies or lack of water. but when i looked at it in the mirror, i could see that i have enlarged circumvallate papillae. Ive never had it before, and its been giving me anxiety just thinking about it. The only medicine i'm on is a generic form of xanax but i've been on it for about three years now.

if there is anything you could recommend, please let me know

Hi Eddie, thanks for using HCM.

Dry mouth looking white and thickening of vallate papilla may be due to irritation(Mechanical or thermal) vitamin deficiency or due to infection. If there is a curdy white growth inside your mouth then you should consult your doctor for examination and get treated accordingly. Now take plenty of oral fluids, fruits and multivitamin tablets. Hope I answered your question.

Take care,
Regards
