Suggest Treatment For Big Canker Sores On The Tongue

I seem to be prone to big canker sores/ulcers on my tongue. I was wondering what maybe be causing this so I can prevent it? I just started depo provera, it seems to be triggered when I am tired maybe? They are causing me not being able to eat and only drink water. The ulcers are about the size of my thumb nail and red.
