It will get better and you will get used to it over time. Do you take a drink to bed with you to sip through the night?

Hi i recently increased my meds venlafaxine and got an awful dry mouth but gradually it wore off, make sure you drink lots of water x x

I've had alot of trouble sleeping lately too, maybe 3 to 4 hours a night, thats after 2 or 3 hours to actually fall asleep.
Woke up with dry mouth Saturday and Sunday, never had it before.

thanks to all you guys for your replies.I hope that splitting the pills 1x25 and 2x10.throughout the day will help with this.I do take 2 pint glasses of water to bed with me.I don't drink a lot each time I only sip it.but I do wake up anything up to a dozen times during the night.x
