I am 3 weeks in and My mouth is so dry that my teeth hurt and I'm accidentally biting the inside of my mouth. I drink tons of water and it's not helping. I just need to know if this is a side effect that will pass eventually??
Contrave - Can anyone tell me if dry mouth will go away eventually?

Mine is still dry. I drink as much water as possible all day long.
I've found that Biotene spray does help. If I have a meeting where
I will be talking, I take the pill after not before. My tongue has actually
stuck to the roof of my mouth! I've even mentioned to colleagues
that I take a medicine that has a side effect of drying out my mouth,
so they don't think I'm crazy- lol.

Tell your doctor about dry mouth symptoms and have him give you a different medication
