Hi ~ Thats just one of the side effects that is on-going. It's NOT going to stop as long as you're taking that medication.

The dry mouth will continue -- you should be using a "dry mouth toothpast" and a dry mouth "mouthwash." You can get both these products at the pharmacy. Also your dentist should carry these things in the office, which it should be cheaper. I've had to use these products for some time now. The dry mouth causes increased cavities in the teeth, so I'd get these two things as soon as possible.

Also, keep using the eye drops, as you can damage the cornea if it becomes too dry.

Unfortunately, alot of medications cause the dry mouth/eyes. Many pain medications cause it too. Best of luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee
