I have severe burning tongue. I take neurontin at night & low dose during the day, plus folate, b vitamins, lipoic acid which is is recommended. No luck yet. My neurologist had never heard of this. I'm post menopausal, & have a geographic tongue-all factors for this. I also started an antidepressant called duloxitene. They say SSRI's like this (prozac, celexa also) may help. My next move will be hormones or a Tens Unit implanted.
