I am 57 years old live in Canada, Ontario. I started menopause at 51 years old. Then my burning mouth syndrome appeared out of no where. I was diagnosed with anxiety, depression disorder.

I have been living with this condition for the past 7 years on and off. I have and I am presently living with a flare up lately and it's not settling down. Been on Effexor for the past 6 years and had some flare up in between with my burning mouth syndrome. They say antidepressant works but this doesn't seem to be working. Not sure if anyone has this condition and if any other antidepressant worked for BMS. Or Anyone heard of Low-Dose-Naltrexone (LDN) for burning mouth syndrome. Does anyone have information on LDN?

Would appreciate any information for BMS and your experience? Thanks
