Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerostomia It may be a sign of an underlying disease, such as Sjögren's syndrome, poorly controlled diabetes, or Eaton-Lambert syndrome, but this is not always so. Other causes of insufficient saliva include anxiety, medications, or alcohol, trauma to the salivary glands or their ducts or nerves, dehydration, excessive mouth breathing, previous radiation therapy, and also a natural result of aging. The vast majority of elderly individuals will suffer xerostomia to some degree. Playing or exercising a long time outside on a hot day will often cause your salivary glands to simply dry up as your bodily fluids are concentrated elsewhere. Xerostomia is a common side-effect of various drugs, such as, amphetamines, cannabinoids, antihistamines and several antidepressants. Sorry, not much help (not something I've experienced).
