For Sjogren's Syndrome "I have a dry mouth due to an unknown cause and so started to take generic Evoxac 1 year ago. I take Evoxac 3 times a day, and with xylitol mints, make it through the day. There is a product called Xylimelts that attach to your teeth at night and slowly melt, they help a lot. You can use these in the day too. Xylitol generates saliva, Xylitol Gems are good too. My last dose of Evoxac is at night before bed. When I first started Evoxac, I would get some chills and sweat, but that stopped. Evoxac improves the longer you use it for the first 6 weeks, so give it a chance. My dry mouth is from an unknown cause as I have had no radiation, don't take prescription meds except this, and don't have Sjögren's. Try Colgate 'Gel-Kam', which is a gel with 0.4% stannous fluoride. It will prevent cavities and also can get rid of teeth sensitivity. It is a big winner to keep your teeth and keep them from hurting if you have dry mouth. Avoid salty foods and alcohol as much as you can."

For Sjogren's Syndrome "I’m really glad Evoxac helped people here with Sjogren's. It has really improved my dry mouth, and I can cry again. The problem is I have all the side effects they list, and it’s really bad. I’m sweating constantly, I’ve got headaches and chills, I feel like I had the flu last week, and I didn’t. I’m just miserable, and I can’t take it anymore, so I’m gonna stop taking the medicine. I know the dry mouth is really bad, but I can use other things for that. I’m gonna go see my rheumatologist and see if she’s got something else for me. Good luck to all of you, and God bless."

For Sjogren's Syndrome "This medication is a lifesaver! I have experienced a couple of mild side effects (chills, mild stomach upset if I don't take it with food), but nothing severe enough to make me stop taking it. It helps tremendously with dry mouth and starts working about 30 to 45 minutes after taking it. It feels like it only lasts about 4 hours, however, so you might need to take it multiple times per day."
