I have dry eyes and mouth. I have been tested for Sjoren’s. If I don’t keep my mouth moist, I will quickly develop a coated tongue with painful white bumps (lie bumps), and small painful sores on the soft tissue areas.
For eyes, I use Restasis drops twice a day. I tried the Xiidria drops, but I had a bad taste in my mouth after each dose.
For mouth, an ENT prescribed pilocarpine 5mg, 3-4 daily prn. This works great - immediately produces saliva.

@julbpat Do you have trouble with sweating after taking the pilocarpine? First day I took it I went to work at a factory and had temperature check for Covid and I had a temperature about 15 minutes later it was gone , so I started waiting until I got to work to take it. Sometimes after I took it I would just start sweating so much I asked to be switched to another medicine which they put me on Cevilemine big mistake I would wake up soaking wet from sweat. I just recently switched back to pilocarpine and the sweating is not as bad
