I occassionaly have what I think could be classified as extreme dry mouth and found that Biotene mouthwash (over the counter brand for dry mouth) has helped me a little. Have you tried any type of mouthwash or has your doctor recommended anything?

I am taking gabapentin 500 mg 6x per day for total of 3,000 mg. This is the absolute upper limit dosage that my neurologist and PCP will prescribe. Am now finding this is barely adequate, especially at night, so have ordered CBD salve to try for the first time. Will update after I receive and start using.

Bioteen mouthwash at bedtime helps with my dry mouth, and I have a spray bottle of it along with Bioteen lozenges. If my dry mouth wakes me up I use one of those. I keep them on my nightstand.
