Living with Sjögren's: My Experience with Evoxac 30mg Capsules

I was diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome a few years ago, and one of the most challenging symptoms for me has been the constant dry mouth. My doctor prescribed Evoxac 30mg capsules, and I've been taking them for about six months now. Initially, I was skeptical about how much it would help, but I've noticed a significant improvement in saliva production. It's not a cure, but it definitely makes daily life more comfortable.The side effects have been manageable so far—just some mild stomach discomfort and occasional headaches. I've been careful to stay hydrated and take the medication with food to avoid any stomach issues. Has anyone else had a similar experience, or have any tips for managing side effects? Also, I noticed that there are some serious side effects listed. Has anyone experienced any of these, and how did you handle it? I'm curious to hear from others who have tried this medication.

I've found that taking Evoxac with a meal helps a lot with the stomach issues. Plus, I make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. It's made a big difference for me.

Evoxac has been a lifesaver for me. The only downside is the cost. Insurance doesn't cover it fully, so it's a bit of a financial strain. Anyone else dealing with this issue?

Evoxac has been a game-changer for me too! I started with a lower dose and worked my way up to 30mg. It took a bit of time to find the right balance, but it's been worth it.

I am considering starting Evoxac, but I am a bit nervous about the potential for UTIs... Anyone else have this happen?

I've been on Evoxac for a couple of years now, and while it helps with the dry mouth, I've had some issues with stomach cramps. Anyone else experience this?

I've been lucky with minimal side effects, but I've had to deal with excessive sweating. It's annoying, but at least my dry mouth is under control.

I was a bit worried about the side effects but have had none so far. It's been a huge relief for my dry mouth. Fingers crossed it stays this way!

I noticed increased tear production which was a bit weird at first, but it's definitely helped with my dry eyes. Has anyone else experienced this?
