Dry mouth

[pb]

Been very stressed today and now my dry mouth is back. Even when the stress is over it lasts for weeks...

Ooh I've have had this for a couple of days! I'm drinking so much water...was wondering if it was my medication even though I've reduced it a lot and am almost off it! It is a common side effect but haven't had it up to now.

Hope you get some relief soon!

Dry mouth is very common with anxiety among other things like GERD. Sometimes it doesn't even matter how much water you drink. I constantly get a dry mouth and have for years now. They do sell a mouth wash for dry mouth that you can try.

I get dry mouth when my anxiety is at an all time high.

My mouth has been getting dry a lot the last week or so. My anxiety is at an all time high right now so I think that is why. :(

One of the biggest draw backs of so many drugs is the side effect of a dry mouth which in turn reduces the saliva which in turn rots your gums and teeth over the years.

Dry mouth

What you feel:

You find it hard to swallow because of a lack of saliva. Your tongue feels dry or sticky.

What causes this:

High stress biology reduces saliva in order to prepare the body for action. Sustained high stress biology produces a dry mouth.
