Side effects - Dry Mouth! Suggestions. Lexapro (Escitalopram)

[thatsall]

About a month ago i recenlty started taking lexapro but also got my tonsils out. But i am now noticing that my mouth is very dry when eating food. I believe it is more from the lexapro because that is a common side effect. I was wondering if many have expireienced this while on it? Especially after a month? Or after tonsilecttomy? Or evenb after taking oth anti depressants that cause drymouth. But the main question is what can be done to help? I am literaly having a hard time swallow food and gaging a lot of the time on my food? Very annoying as it is takling me doouble the time to eat meals. Also must wash some down with water as if i was taking a pill of some sort. I highly doubt its from dehydration because i ahve been consuming more liquids then ever in my life time. Roughly 100oz a day of liquids with mor then half from water. I am also taking creatine and protein shakes but also doubt that is the problem. I am also taking a multi vitamin and nitric oxide based product called superpump250. I also smoke about a half a pack of cigerettes a day. Pack-pack and a half when drinking every weekend. If anybody knows of an easy and effective remedy to this problem i would be very appreciative! thanx
