as someone who suffered from dry mouth for some time (prior to sinus surgery), my tips are:

have some dry mouth gel available (it is OTC), lather up before sleep

brush your teeth more often

drink a bit of water even when you're not thirsty

make sure your dentist knows your situation

my cancer treatment. There are many products that help with the lack of saliva available.

Is another “new” issue….

I absolutely could not understand what they were saying, can you put it in layman's terms, thanks!

Cause the gums to somewhat overgrow with fibrous tissue. Dilantin which his prescribed for epilepsy can do that as well, sometimes dramatically.

I know originally these drugs were for those people diagnosed with diabetes, and used under strict supervision of a doctor. I also know for those with diabetic weight gain, one of the side effects was weight loss. Then the vanity types who only thought they needed to lose weight heard about the weight loss effect, and helped create a shortage that put people who truly needed the drug at risk. But it seems the side effects are magnified in those who are only using the drug to lose weight, and I have read that many who use these drugs just to help lose weight abandon the drug within a year because the side effects are so bad.
Basically, it seems this drug is best for its original purpose, helping those who have diabetes.
