I was on Salagen for quite some time after my surgery but it just didn't seem to make a difference altho my Dr said it would make me sweat a lot...it didn't. I like the over the counter stuff and BIOTENE is great too. Whatever works....USE IT!!!!! We just have to get creative now. I, too, sleep at short intervals at nite and I know it is the dry mouth and the water I have to drink..lots of "potty" breaks so I see a lot of TV at night. I guess I could get a job taking care of a newborn being up half the night....lol. Make the most of the new "you" and teach others how they may cope and enjoy the rest of their lives. Take care..Flo
