I was just checking out this forum and noticed your post.  I had a bad case of dry mouth three years ago and it persists to a lesser degree today.  I buy mouthwash that is specifically for dry mouth (Biotene I think is one) and their toothpaste.  Don't use Listerine, etc. due to the alcohol.  Also, I bought a spray that I would just spritz my mouth when it got really dry.  All of these came over the counter from the drug store.  Stay away from diet sodas and sugary drinks also.  Stick with water:)  I also bought some sugar free hard candy and popped them in my mouth all day and it kept my saliva coming.  I hope this helps!

Hi ! My mother has Sjogren's Syndrome and as you may know... dry mouth and dry eyes are classic symptoms of this autoimmune disease. My mother has used prescription medication for her dry eyes, but prefers an over the counter homeopathic remedy called "Similasan" --- it is available at Walgreens or on the internet.

Best,

I think it was called Oasis and it came in a small spray bottle that was white with blue writing.  It has been a while so I don't remember exactly.  Hope that helps a bit.
