"I love this medicine. Started working the same day that I started taking it- I have been on it for years. I am finding that the generic version is not as strong as the name brand. I was cavity free for years, but after I switched to generic I am having dental issues again. Also, the dry eye is coming back. "

"Been on this drug over 10 years. I have severe Sjogren's Syndrome with dry mouth and horrific dry eyes. I now live in Spain and I can't get it here!!!! I can't get it in Portugal or the UK either. I'm devastated. I can't just hop on a plane to the USA every 3 months to buy it there. I may have to give up my dream of retiring here because this drug is not approved here.."

Evoxac (cevimeline) "This drug is a lifesaver for me. I have been taking it for a long time. Before taking it I was literally choking and gagging from dryness in my throat with eye watering. I was miserable. I had sweats like some were saying so I cut back from three times a day to twice a day and it did the trick. I just need to drink a bit more water."

"I've taken this drug almost a year. Only thing I've found to give real relief. No side effects so far. I am looking for discount as I recently lost my work provided insurance."

"It's a huge relief for dry mouth and seems to help dry eyes a bit. Drawback for me- it's very nauseating so I need to take another medicine to offset the nausea."

"This medication made me break out in hives. Terrible. And then again when I stopped taking it. Will not take it again."

"I started using cevimeline in February.I took 3 capsules a day I had absolutely no saliva . I had lost 25 pounds because I couldn’t swallow solid food . This was working slowly for me but after 4 months my mouth started becoming more consistently moist. I then got down to 1 capsule per day because of possible side effects plus it was working well. About a month later I developed facial numbness, pins and needles and a lot of facial pain . Nuerolgist called it idiopathic neuralgia. Rheumatoligist didn’t think it was medicine . I believe it is . Every time I try to get off of it my symptoms start to subside but I can’t stop taking it for more than 4 days because of unbelievable dryness in my mouth. Very debilitating . I’m disappointed to say the least because it was working . Now what do I do"
