Hi

I've never been on this medication but I think most of these meds are similar with similar side effects and one of the most common ones is a dry mouth. You have only been on this for 2 weeks so I would say this side effect is normal and would try to bare with it because it will definitely pass.

I have not long started Venlafaxine and I have a really dry mouth which is one of the most annoying side effects. I have tried sucking sweets and drinking sips of water but it doesn't really help. I'm told it will probably go as the side effects subside...I sure hope so!! But I do know how you feel...sorry I don't have an answer. Kitti

It seems to be at night its 80% worse . Daytime not so bad. Its the waking in the night and feeling like someine has sprayed dry air in my mouth. Bone dry and hard to breath

I am taking different meds to you but they also gave me a dry mouth when I first started taking them. It isn't a problem now though.

I took Trazodone for 3 weeks and always found nights worst too, plus I was on Mirtazapine at the same time trying to cross taper. I wish I'd stayed on Traz now for longer as it had so few SE's compared to Venlafaxine which I've just been swapped to. I don't think I gave Trazodone chance and paniced when I started feeling poorly but now believe I was going through Mirtazapine Wd as I needed to get off that anyhow as it wasn't working at all for me and it's been hell to get off.

I have the same problem with Trazodone Greg. I keep a bottle of water at the side of my bed.
