I didn't even notice an improvement to my dry mouth and taste, which I think go hand in hand, until my 4th month post Tx and then I saw more improvement at 5 months, 15 months(the biggest) and the last at 24 months. Point is IMO you haven't even started to know how your taste and dry mouth will end up so please don't think your dry mouth or taste now is even close to being where you may end up.
