>My doctor actually checked me for Sjogren's Syndrom and the blood test turned out negative. I met a lady in one of my Diabetes classes that did have this disorder and she even had to wear special glasses because her eyes hurt so much. I think a big challenge up front is to get a diagnoses. I am sorry to hear that you have it - I have read that taking high dose omega 3 supplements helps both the dry eyes and the dry mouth. I am a vegetarian, so I would have to do it the flax oil, walnuts etc way, but if you eat fish you could perhaps take fish oil supplements. Be sure to get the ones that don't repeat the fish oil taste - I beleive they are enteric coated. Good luck with your treatment and thank you for sharing your story.

Sure you don't have Sjogren's Syndrome???

> I got it after taking Sarotex for a while. It really dried my mouth (and later eyes too) out. It got so painful I had to quit taking it. A little later I was diagnosed with Sjogren's ... and to date, more than 10 years later I still have this.

Went to see a periodontist and he said my mouth isn't really dry. It actually feels swollen; but this specialist also said the gums look healthy to him. I've tried to discontinue the mirtazapine and am now looking at the 4th day of compromised sleep. Anyone out there on a similar amount of this drug with any success solving the mouth side effects.
