"I started two nights ago and they've worked wonderfully. I don't keep waking up at night with dry mouth or mucus that makes it hard to breathe. The only thing is that when I go to brush my teeth, my tongue ends up numb afterward. I'm thinking I'm spreading whatever is left from the XyliMelts and it's causing numbness. I never had this issue before the XyliMelts. So, I don't know. I might have to stop because the negative reviews scare me."

For Xerostomia "Not sure if it is the Xylimelts or not. These do work for dry mouth. Been using them for a few months. I also have acid reflux. My throat hurts now when I sing in choir. Also, some back teeth have started to hurt. I discontinued usage for now. Used Biotene last night instead. I did a nice job."

"XyliMelts saved my teeth. I've been having issues with dry mouth, most likely due to my age, over 65, and because I use a CPAP machine. I noticed issues with my gums, and my dentist mentioned it was due to dry mouth. I woke up several times a night with what I considered extreme dry mouth. I first started using XyliMelts a few months ago, and it irritated my gums. Fortunately, I researched it and found XyliMelts makes a product for sensitive mouths. Of course, I couldn't help being worried about it falling out and going down my throat. My worries were unfounded, and I often wake up with a small amount still in my mouth where I placed it the night before. XyliMelts helps me sleep better, I don't wake up 5 times a night due to dry mouth. I believe it stopped my gums from receding, saving my teeth so I won't need dentures. I only use it at night. If you are suffering from dry mouth, I highly recommend this product."

"I have used this product for many years. Over time, it has disintegrated the glue that was in my crown on both sides of my mouth. I now have two places in my mouth needing to have dental work. The dentist tells me the only thing that can go there are implants. $$$$ implants run $5,000 each. I do not have that kind of money. My research has shown me that this has happened to other people using the product. I feel XyliMelts is responsible and should pay for this, not only in my case, but in anyone else who has this issue. I find the medication effective, but not to the point of losing teeth and costing me an excessive amount of money."

For Xerostomia "I use XyliMelts for dry mouth at night. I also have a CPAP machine. Recently, I developed a very large sore where one of the two XyliMelts was used. I stopped using it, and it went away."

For Xerostomia "Recommended by dentist. After four days, had hive-like bumps inside my cheek. The tablets were inserted correctly and adhered to the side of my gums. Sadly, this is not the answer for me."

For Xerostomia "I use a BiPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure) for sleep apnea and was getting dry mouth when I use it. The XyliMelts work well with no apparent side effects."

For Xerostomia "I take it for dry mouth. I am gluten-free, and it bothers my stomach. It does keep my mouth moist. I take 3/4 while doing dialysis for 3 hours. I can tolerate it to a point."

For Xerostomia "I just started using XyliMelts and have had success with them. However, I have experienced some digestive issues and have been waking up with a headache. I'm going to use them for a short period and see if my symptoms recede."
