At first, I noticed the sweating and runny nose and for periods of times I would only take it once or twice a day rather than the 3X as prescribed; However, I do not notice those side affects any longer. About two months ago I decided to stop taking it for awhile and see if it really was helping or if my saliva was just getting better. Well it only took a few days for me to realize the pilocarpine was helping, so I am back on it. A real mile stone for me was about 6 weeks ago when I actually had enough saliva to lick an envelope! Woo-Hoo. Good Luck. Carmen
