Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | Michelle, I have taken salagen for 2 and 1/2 years. It helps the little salivary function I have produce more saliva. The only problem is I kind of get a burst of saliva after taking it and sometimes have to much (spit a little when I talk--hate that) but then I get very dry again before it's time to take another.
Salagen can have some serious side effects for some people-sweats, blurred vision and other stuff but I have never had any of those effects and I take the maximum dose(once ina while if I take it on a completely empty stonmach first thing in the morning I will feel a little sweaty for about 5-10 minutes once it gets in my system, not a big deal).
I am now curious whether Evoxac is only in a capsule form. If that's true, I can't swtich to it since I have to grind up my medications. I guess I should be glad the salagen works!
