Painful dry mouth from medications

]]> On May 25th, I posted information written by a friend of mine who we identified as “Suzie Q,” for privacy reasons. She has many health issues and is very eager to share her knowledge with people who may be able to identify with her and maybe benefit from what she has learned along the way.

So, she will now be referred to as Christina, and she has written yet another great post full of information. This post is on the horrible dry mouth that can affect many people who take medications for chronic pain or for the side effects of their pain medications.

And here is Christina’s post:

It often seems as if every single drug prescribed for me has dry mouth as a side effect, and I wind up with a situation better termed “Sahara Desert Mouth” than “dry mouth”. It is a minor irritation if you only have it for 5 or 10 days, but if you are taking medications that cause dry mouth 24/7, it can cause very significant problems.
