Re: Strattera - Dry mouth

Have you tried any hard candy? That usually helped me.

Re: Strattera - Dry mouth

Same issue for me - I'm a teacher. How long have you had dry mouth? I found it diminishes after several months on Strattera. (Although if I miss a day, or a weekend the dry mouth occurs, along with other unpleasant side effects). Anyhow, my solution was to keep hydrated throughout the day by keeping a stock of bottled water nearby. I usually went through one or two bottles a day- sipping not chugging - as the need arose. Seemed to work pretty well. Good Luck!

I too, keep a bottle or large cup of water with me, especially during the morning when I most notice the dry mouth. It also helps with the occasional "heat waves" that come over me without warning. It seems to stave off that side effect as well.

Re: Strattera - Dry mouth

Both suggestions of hard candy and water are great. When I was younger I took adderall and one side effect I had from that was dry mouth and an unpleasent taste in my mouth. I kept a bottle water with me, I also chewed gum constantly, when I couldn't chew gum I sucked on hard candy. I liked the apple / lemon / watermelon jollyranchers, jollyranchers have a bit of a sour taste that creates more saliva.
