If the drugs work and you're only worrying about dry mouth that's awesome.
It might help to chew some sugar free gum or sip on water. If you're mouth gets to dry for to long it could make you have bad breath, cavities, even gingivitis. So just be aware.
alot of ssri's cause dryness in the mouth. if it starts to concern you talk to ur doctor but it should disappear soon I do imagine.
and I'm glad the drugs are working for you..
