I am pregnant for the first time and am experiencing dry mouth (and just general funkiness in the mouth). I normally drink a LOT of water and this has never been a problem for me. The best thing I have found is to chew some peppermint gum. Chewing gum keeps that saliva flowing. Good luck!

Try good old glycerin! Put some on a qtip with a little lemon juice and wipe the inside of our lips and mouth.

The medication is called Evoxac. It is a prescription and is usually taken 2-3 times per day. Hope that helps!

I had such horrible dry mouth from medications I am on I almost lost my teeth. First there is miracle mouthwash a prescription made of benedrl, malanta and lidocain, a pill called evxo(? not sure on the spelling of all this) both of these are used in the treatment of Sjogrens syndrome. I have also stated using a enamel building toothpaste, and a fluoride rinse as the dry mouth is damaging to your teeth

Dry mouth plauges me as well. I am currently using two OTC remedies that work very well. Biotene is a mouthwash containg bio-active enzymes that really help before bedtime. While I'm on the go I use a little spritzer called Oasis. While both of these are available at the pharmacy you may have to ask for them. They are not very common - they are effective. Sorry, I wish I knew of a home made remedy that would work. Give Biotene and Oasis a try. I believe you'll be pleased with the results, plus, nothing else in your mouth - let me know?

When I ran, I would put a small pebble inside my cheek to keep my mouth moist. I imagine a small button would do as well and it would be more hygienic.

I'm on 5 different meds for different reasons and 3 of the meds cause dry mouth. I find that sucking on hard candies during the day really helps. If your worried about calories you can use the sugar free ones.
OK, after all these years is there anything new for dry mouth?

My friend Bill can get dry mouth as a result of the CFIDS that he has had for many years. He swears by Vitamin C; he takes 3000 mg a day & says he rarely has a dry mouth when he remembers to take Vitamin C daily. If you try this, you should notice a difference in a couple of weeks. Hope this helps.
Does anyone know a homemade solution to help with dry mouth? I am using Biotene Oral Balance which is OK, but only lasts a little while.
