> You're almost certainly dealing with anticholinergic side effects from the Remeron (and/or some other med you are taking). A lot of psychiatric drugs do this. Maybe you could get the doctor to prescribe you a drug for dry mouth like cevimeline or pilocarpine. Keep us posted.

Yes, I agree with you that it is likely it is the Remeron, although the dry mouth side effect didn't appear in full force and was manageable for the last 10 years. I've asked for pilocarpine, a saliva stimulant and my family doc has refused, saying it causes side effects. I've offered that I am willing to try but unfortunately he isn't. What is quite odd, is that even when I have discontinued the remeron for 2 weeks the problem doesn't resolve itself. The doc said pilocarpine would make me tired. I've read that it makes you sweat more, tear more and nose drip more but not so much tiredness. Maybe I can plead with him. Oh brother!!!!!

Thanks.
