Eric,
For me the gunk quit flowing a month or so after treatment ended. I used to keep a Yankauer suction machine by my easy chair during the day and carry it to my bedside at night to suck up all the stuff.
Unfortunately, once the stuff quit coming, the dry mouth arrived and has never improved. I recently tried a new drug to improve salivation. It is called Exovac, and after taking 3 a day for the past few weeks, as far as I can tell, it has done absolutely.....
nothing! So I have quit taking it.
