Notryptolinr 3x3 risperadol 3grams 1-2 x methylamphetamine 36x2. I have cut the last one down to one. Just got off Zoloft. What is causing these problems

Hi.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I have viewed the query and here is my advice.

Dry mouth in your case is due to the side effect of medicine that you are taking as a number of these medicine is commonly seen to cause dry mouth as a side effect.

So my suggestion is to consult your Physician and get evaluated.

Cutting down the doses of medicines and changing the salts can help in improvement.

For reducing dryness yoy can start chewing sugarfree chewing gum.
Use oral lubricant like Oralgel.
Suck lemon drops.
Keep sipping water..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
