Side Effects for Pilocarpine hydrochloride (pilocarpine hydrochloride)
I love love love this medication. No more painful sex or cottonmouth!!! I can eat food without choking on a dry ball of mush and I no longer dip my cookies in water. I still can't leave the house without a glass of water- so the car being filled with empty cups issue unfortunately, is not resolved. Anyways I am sensitive to meds.. The first month I was constantly nauseous but I stuck it out and after that no issues. Just carry snacks in your bag or whatever and eat a few bites of food with it.Good luck ❤️
This makes my mouth more moist, and reduces yeast infections due to lack of moisture. I don't want to be without this med!
Profuse sweating about 35-45 minutes after taking followed by nausea for over 6 hours. With the sweating, however, comes the saliva. I feel like Tim Allen in the Christmas with the Cranks movie when he had the botox and can't drink the water without it dripping from his mouth. I'm not drooling though!
I haven't had any side effects which amazes me because I'm very ultra sensitive to medications. I'm taking one {4 times a day.} It helps to relieve my super dry mouth especially when I'm trying to have a conversation. I've had a dry mouth for so long it's a relief to have a normal amount of saliva. I've gone so long without having any saliva that it took me awhile to get use to having any. I had a huge grin on my face the other day while I was concentrating on my computer work because I actually drooled. Thankfully I was at home and not in public! There's nothing like a woman walking around town drooling with a big smile on her face. It's a blessing to have any sort of saliva. I feel badly for the people who have experienced side effects with this particular medication. I realize that no two bodies react the same, but Salagen is working great for me. I would recommend this medication to others if they are able to tolerate it :-)

WORST birth control I've ever been on! Constant anxiety and increased heart rate. SEVERE abdominal pain to the point where I don't want to move! Lots of cramping and breakthrough bleeding. Dr said I'd have to wait at least 3 months. Screw that. I'm done with this pill! I'm miserable!
I stopped taking the drug after the second pill. The day after I stopped taking the medicine, I started to have a dry cough. The doctor prescribed doxycycline as a replacement and I had a different reaction to that. Thankfully, they think the infection is gone, so I don't have to try a third antibiotic. I am still dealing with the chest pain almost a week later and contemplating going back to the doctor to ensure that my lungs will heal.
Initially only dry mouth and minor insomnia. Later skin reaction from the patiches.
Good relief for seasonal allergies. Nothing else helped! Helps me a lot! No side affects that I've noticed. I only get one shot a year in April in my buttocks/hip. Please keep making this drug!!!
Made my stomach sick. I'm now worried sick wheat this drug has done to me and if there are any long term issues I've now created. I'm mad I even thought it was a good idea to take it. I feel like a lab rat.
As the cycles progressed - extreme fatigue (could never have imagined it happen to me, It overwhelmed me)Metallic taste in mouth (drove me insane)Finger and Toe nails affected (mainly index fingers and large toe nails)Brain ChemoMy hair fell out almost immediately with the AC chemo, but with Taxol, the last of it fell out and then my eyelashes and eyebrows all fell out and my body hair followed suit.
Some mild nausea, no vomiting. Fatigue.
I had 8oz every 10 minutes. I had diarrhea within one hour. (Not the bad kind. It was no big deal.) I finished the 4 liters and ran clear. The taste was fine. (cherry) I will use this next time.
Can not remember words, legs tremble, General tiredness. I am only taking 600mg in the evening. I am told that the dose is very low, but at first 300mg worked than stopped so it was upped to 600mg. Now this is marginally working so the Dr. wants to up the dose. The side effects are horrible.
I was not connecting the joint, muscle pain, especially in my wrists, feet, and back until recently. My rheumatologist prescribed double doses of Celebrex, to no avail. Recently, I experienced problems swallowing, throat pain and heartburn and began to connect it to the possibility that it may be Fosamax. I will discontinue immediately. I wonder how long it will take to get this out of my system!
