With less than a year since your TX, you will notice improvements in your saliva & taste. Everybody varies, but it took me one full year before I could do anything or go anywhere without a bottle of water. Luckily my wife sewed me a great water bottle holster with my old Marine Corps Marathon patches that I wore from wakeup to bedtime. At the end of the year I even took a trip to Italy and could taste the pasta/ wine/etc
All memories now, but at least I no longer have any dry mouth at all. Hang in there. It takes longer than you think at first, but things do get better and better
