Hi Erik,
I've been helping to take care of my sister and our family has a history of trying various holistic methods because our Dad was a Chiropractor many years ago. Anyway, I found a liquid vitamin/mineral supplement that worked really well to help keep her mouth moist (even after salivary glands were surgically removed). The product name is Body Balance and it's made by Life Force International. (Hope I'm not in trouble for sharing this specific information, but she swears it made a big difference for her, and the fact that it's liquid was a special blessing.) She was able to use the Body Balance before she started on Duragesic patches, but now the hospice nurse made her discontinue it in case of some interaction. Hope the information helps someone who doesn't need to worry about the drug interaction. Best of luck to you and hope your dry mouth is juicy soon!
