I couldn't find any posts, so I guess I'll be the first. I have dry mouth from various medications (not Sjogren's).
I'm in need of suggestions for ways to deal with this other than sucking on sugarless candy or throat drops, many of which have aspartame or other nasty sugar substitutes. I do drink a lot of water - I need to if I don't want my urine to get too concentrated and irritating. That's a fine line though between too little and too much that I'm running to the bathroom even more than I do.
Is there something like an artificial saliva out there that works and isn't too horrible (and do you need a prescription for it)?
Boy am I getting tired of paying for dental work which could possibly have been avoided.
Thanks,
Paula
