For Sjogren's Syndrome "I have severe Sjogrens. Extreme dry eyes and even worse dry mouth. I also take medications that cause dry mouth, Clonidine and sleep medication. I only took cevimeline for a month. Cevilemine does produce saliva, but even taking 1/2 of the lowest dose I just cannot take the side effects any more. Nausea, urinary pain, bloating, anxiety and it really didn’t help with my dry eyes. It made my gastroparesis flare up. I’m so glad it worked for so may of you."

For Sjogren's Syndrome "I started using cevimeline in February.I took 3 capsules a day I had absolutely no saliva . I had lost 25 pounds because I couldn’t swallow solid food . This was working slowly for me but after 4 months my mouth started becoming more consistently moist. I then got down to 1 capsule per day because of possible side effects plus it was working well. About a month later I developed facial numbness, pins and needles and a lot of facial pain . Nuerolgist called it idiopathic neuralgia. Rheumatoligist didn’t think it was medicine . I believe it is . Every time I try to get off of it my symptoms start to subside but I can’t stop taking it for more than 4 days because of unbelievable dryness in my mouth. Very debilitating . I’m disappointed to say the least because it was working . Now what do I do"

For Sjogren's Syndrome "I love this medicine. Started working the same day that I started taking it- I have been on it for years. I am finding that the generic version is not as strong as the name brand. I was cavity free for years, but after I switched to generic I am having dental issues again. Also, the dry eye is coming back. "

For Sjogren's Syndrome "Been on this drug over 10 years. I have severe Sjogren's Syndrome with dry mouth and horrific dry eyes. I now live in Spain and I can't get it here!!!! I can't get it in Portugal or the UK either. I'm devastated. I can't just hop on a plane to the USA every 3 months to buy it there. I may have to give up my dream of retiring here because this drug is not approved here.."

Evoxac (cevimeline) for Sjogren's Syndrome "This drug is a lifesaver for me. I have been taking it for a long time. Before taking it I was literally choking and gagging from dryness in my throat with eye watering. I was miserable. I had sweats like some were saying so I cut back from three times a day to twice a day and it did the trick. I just need to drink a bit more water."

For Sjogren's Syndrome "I've taken this drug almost a year. Only thing I've found to give real relief. No side effects so far. I am looking for discount as I recently lost my work provided insurance."

For Sjogren's Syndrome "It's a huge relief for dry mouth and seems to help dry eyes a bit. Drawback for me- it's very nauseating so I need to take another medicine to offset the nausea."
