Hello and thank you for using Healthcare magic.

I understand your concern and I am sorry you are going through this. Burning mouth syndrome is a very frustrating condition.
In order for me to give you a more complete question, I would need more information regarding your condition, that would allow me to figure out whether this is primary BMS, meaning the causes are unknown, or secondary BMS, meaning it is a symptom of another underlying condition.
The medication you are taking suggests mostly that it is primary BMS and it is usually the main therapy for this condition.
What I can tell you is to consider cognitive therapy, which has proved successful in many cases with primary BMS.
This therapy would also eliminate the need for medication.

I hope this helps.
Wishing you all the best.
