Default Dry Mouth

I have extremely dry mouth to the extent that it burns all time. My tongue looks like a desert (cracked & dried). I have been taking Neurontin (perphial Neuropothy) for many years (6-10) on & off and finally a dr said that was my problem, also, age. I am off of Neur now, but it is no better. however, it has only been 2 weeks. I am also on a Breathing machine at nite (sleep apnea) and that doesn't help I'm sure. I have just been keeping Vaseline in my nose & lips and that helps, still no help inside my mouth. I do take Lipitor & Dyazide (blood Pressure)
thanks for any suggestions. Eve
