I was dxed with Acid Reflux in my late 20's (now 55). Since a young kid I suffered from heartburn and ate many Tums to help. I started out taking Zantec and Tagament for a few years (prescrition then) then graduated to Prilosec (prescription) for 15 years. I was taking 2 per day. For the last 10 years I have been taking Nexium. I take 40mg 2x daily. Until I was dxed with RAD I never experienced dry mouth. Since I haven't been on any RAD meds for a few years I don't think it has anything to do with the meds. Since I have taken my other meds at different times I don't think it has anything to do with them. For me, I think it has something to do with the disease. However, there are many reasons for dry mouth and what I read is interesting. It would be a good thing to try and see if dry mouth is relieved. I do well on proton pumps and hope you do, too. Let us know. Hugs When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and I could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~ Erma Bombeck
