Thanks, my post wasn't coherent. Apologies. I don't chew sugar free gum at night (I WOULS be afraid I would swallow it). II like your suggestions about hours, but I wasn't given guidanc, so just took pills every 8 hours after I first rec'd the pescripiong. Unfortunately, I don't think I can skip the middle of the night (maybe a gradual tweak will get me to more sane hours (: . I tried skipping the night dose, but doesn't work. Eyes glued together, generally bad news. The sweating is not like real sweat, but I am soaked and freezing. It' s cold enough weather in ny area, my apartment is over heated and dru/ but turning off heat is too cold. (I do use a humidier to counter the dryness. Long story short, i'll aim to twak to those hours . Thanks. ,
