Not OT - dry mouth from meds, how do you cope?

[spotted zebra]

I used to like Wrigley's gum, until they added aspartame. It shouldn't be so hard to find apartame-free gum. Pur gum is the only one I've found so far and the person who created it did so to fill that need. The pieces are small enough so it's not obvious to others you have gum in your mouth, but still do the trick.

Last night I tried an XyliMelt disc overnight, and woke this morning to an awful gooey mess in my mouth. It's been some time since I've used XyliMelts (just during the day) and I remembered it to be better. I guess it works better for some people than others. I'm going to stick to water and Pur gum, and ACV.
