Having problems with dry mouth possibly from medications

I don’t know why doctors don’t pay more attention to symptoms. They seem to rely on the lab numbers only. Glad to hear the supplements worked for her!

What is considered a high dose of B12? Because I have dry mouth and it is very irritating. I am constantly drinking and going to the bathroom because of it. Please help me.

Melanie164, Bless your heart. I actually get the injections as they get the B12 up quicker. Before that I was on 5,000 mcg of Methylcobalamin sublingual B12 by Solgar (Amazon) 1 tablet a day. B-Complex does not have enough B12 in it to get your B12 back up. My primary doctor wanted me on the injections. Initially, I got one injection twice monthly and now I get 1 injection a month. My B12 was back within the normal range after 1 month. My symptoms of low B12 have been: Extreme fatigue, metallic taste in my mouth and peripheral neuropathy symptoms in my arms, legs & feet. I feel much better now that my B12 is up. I'm so sorry. The dry mouth stuff has to be so frustrating. Blessings & Prayers.....

I don't have that. Do you mean like a canker sore kind of thing or something else? 🤔 I did bite my tongue a few times and I got something like canker sores.

If you supplement with B12, be sure it’s the sublingual form of MK-7. Many people are unable to absorb the b12 through the stomach. I take 5,000 mcg a day. I have in the past, taken 10,000, but once a blood test showed my level was up, I cut back. It’s water soluble, so you pee out what you don’t use. I have been buying mine at Costco and I seem to be absorbing it just fine.

My dry mouth is caused by antihistamine meds and has caused my capped teeth to need replacing due to dry mouth. Hope the coconut oil will prevent further teeth problems. Thank you for this remedy.

There are Dry Mouth Lozenges made by Biotene. They also have a dry mouth mouthwash.

I take oxybutynin cl for urinary incontinence and I know that it causes dry mouth but taking it in the morning decreases the dry mouth.

I had 1/3 of my tongue removed. I take B12 shots monthly. I order zellies dental mints, xylimelts for dry mouth from Amazon. I also use Super B's vitamins. Super B's may lower blood pressure. They all help but constant battle. My Dr also recommended using small amounts of olive oil.

Thank you for your info.
