I get dry mouth from the meds that I take. I think I am getting it from my Lyrica and Avinza. I also used to take some muscle relaxers that created dry mouth too, but I am taking Soma now and it works well with me.

I constantly drink water all day long. I usually have 2 or 3 bottles of water at my bedside each nite, and I wind up having to get up a couple times a night to make room for more water.

My PM doc told me I would get used to it, but she was wrong in this case. I have had it for over 5 months, but whata else can I do? I need those meds to get by. It is hard to have a converstation with someone let alone teach a class room full of kids.....I feel for ya girl.

I wish I could tell you a way around this, but I have not come up with anything other than some throat losenges. Good luck Marcie!

One of the most common side effects of these type of medications is dry mouth. My dentist prescribed Biotene mouthwash, toothpaste and drops that you can use during the day or night to help with it since dry mouth also can hasten tooth decay.
It truly does help and you can buy it in any of the health and beauty supplies in any of the stores.
