I Have Tongue Numbness While Eating, Taking Anxiety Medication

My boyfriend and I both have had some tongue numbness , only when eating . He was diagnosed with thrush a while back, and it went away after treatment. Both of our tongues are still white however, but it scrapes off when brushing. We are both taking the same anxiety medication which may be causing the dry mouth and the white tongue, but the numbness when eating is strange. Any advice?

welcometo hcm,
before arriving any conclusion in you case of both.I would like to know the medications are in your use.your problem seems to be associated with your bad digistive.white coating on the tongue confirm that stomach is not in proper working.please post the findings of your medical man with the reports of pathological test if any undergone.
