@neisie13 I tried cymbalta years and years ago but it was for anti-anxiety. It didn't help my anxiety and it never bothered my taste. This just started in October of 2025 for me. The pilocarpine has help with the salty/metallic taste I hardly taste it now but it's there, bc I have more saliva. My dry mouth bothers me 24 hours a day. There's no let up. My tongue won't stay still, I have this texture in my tongue and it keeps moving around going across my teeth all the time Even when I have gum or a mint. What I don't like is I asked a couple of dentists and one that has been practicing for 45 years said oh all tongues are different colors yours is fine! He's full of crap. I hope you know that having dry mouth especially since you're not having a saliva inducer a lot of people lose their teeth and have a lot of decay which has happened to me. Going to the dentist like every month to fix something. The oral probiotic I use is called (Oral Probiotic)on Amazon it has 11 billion CFU plus xylitol it's good for the teeth and gums fresh breath. It balances out the bacteria. I'm using it once in the morning and once at night. You have to read the directions and it has a bunch of probiotic strains. Got to try it. If you have problems finding it let me know there are different other kinds I just happen to pick this one. Sorry mine is so long also, I tend to write stories lol. Good luck and let me know
