> Yeah, bethanechol, and you may be pleased to hear it, actually works far better for me against constipation than it does for dry mouth. It's superb for constipation. I just wish it would also make me drool, but the effects on dry mouth are subtle rather than dramatic.Bethanechol can also help with urinary retention resulting from the anticholinergic effects of certain antidepressants. It can prevent a trip to the hospital for a catheterization. Ouch.
