> I take BUP and other medications that contribute to the dryness of the mouth problem, so I've been trying out nicotine chewing gum recently. It seems to work, but I don't know yet if it works better than regular chewing gum (without nicotine).
I'm not positive, but I don't think it would. The other type of cholinergic receptor (muscarinic) is the one that stimulates the salivary glands (the one that's blocked by TCAs like amitriptyline).
I chew regular sugar free gum. My dentist says to look for the type that has xylitol (e.g., Tylenol) rather than other artificial sweeteners because it's better for your teeth.
