I was put on Salagen 3 or 4 times a day when I started radiation to help preserve the saliva glands. I took it for two or 3 years. The only side effect I had was prespiring for about a half hour about an hour after I took the medicine. Then one very hot and humid day at the shore with no A/C, I started prespiring so badly I couldn't see because the sweat was running down my face into my eyes. Since I rarely prespire much when it is hot and humid, this was extremely unusual. I stopped the medicine and the problem stopped. I never went back on it because I don't think I needed it anymore. Don't know what dosage I was on, will have to look at the bottle. I cetainly didn't experience any of those dire side effects you listed, but then everyone's body is different. Give it a try and see if it helps.
