Iâ??m in to see the Rheumatologist at the two-month point, but I hardly think this is worth the $212/month (Canadian) that Iâ??m paying for it.

Taking 5mg, 3x daily and it's been very effective for my dry mouth. I will say the only issue that I have had, is the first hour or so after taking the dose, I could choke on the amount of saliva my mouth produces. Still this is better than the dry mouth I suffer with without this medication. As with others, at times my dry mouth does return, usually an hour or so before my next dose. It has a ...

It has also helped with my dry eyes, but unfortunately not to the level of my mouth.

Dr. suggested I try this for dry mouth but I was undecided. When eye dr. also suggested it for dry eyes I thought I'd give it a try. After a week of taking it twice a day I could tell a difference with mouth dryness. Minimal improvement with dry eyes.

After a week of taking it twice a day I could tell a difference with mouth dryness. Minimal improvement with dry eyes. I still wake up during the night though with my mouth dry and have to get up for a drink. It does cause chills and sweating about 20 to 30 minutes after taking it for up to an hour so I make sure to not take it close to bedtime.
