Sandy,
My husband used Salivart and it was helpful to him for short-term relief of dry mouth (Salagen didn't do much for him, either). He kept it by the bed to use during the night or first thing in the morning. It is like a mild, salty-tasting mist that you squirt in your mouth and you can use it as often as needed. It's available online, just keyword in google and you'll find it. I think we paid $11 for a convenience-sized can and it lasts a good while.
