I ended up having HBO and having them all pulled in hopes of getting dentures. Due to a recurrance, dentures havent happened yet. I did take the medicine you mentioned and it made me sweat like crazy. I couldnt stand it so only took it for a short time. My salivia is pretty much back to my normal amount.
Best of luck with the swallow test and relearning how to swallow. Hope everything works out for you.
