Lefty: Yes, pilocarpine does help some patients. I'm glad it worked where the acupuncture did not. It's been so long, I've forgotten to post about using it. Heck I even forgot how many times a day I took it and that it helped. (reason for editing this post). guess chemobrain is more of an issue than I realized.
In this thread Pilocarpine - 2008 , there is an interesting post that leaving your flouride trays in at night will also increase saliva.
Of course now that I can't swallow at all, I have more than enough saliva - but having extensive surgery and then extra radiation to destroy your constrictor muscles is never going to be a popular remedy for dry mouth.
