I have been taking some anxiety medication for awhile already. It seems to cause dry mouth that won't really go away ya. Does anyone know of anything to do for dry mouth caused by anxiety medication other than drinking water though. Any advice would be nice. Thanks.

AG,

That is hard to say, because everyone has some difference in reactions to any given med.

However, if this is the worst s/e that you are dealing with...but the medication is performing well to manage your anxiety, then you may want to just try and use the mouth moistening products and consider it a trade off.

Hoping you get the relief you need!
