| 5 | Sjogren's Syndrome | Sweating, which at first is amazing to feel again. It was very overwhelming at first, but lessened. It's a small trade off for the benefits. It also helps me improve my comfort in body temp. I recall going to Zumba before this pill and noticing everyone sweat but me. I'm on the generic version and am wondering if it's causing some anxiety I started experiencing right after taking it. | I've had SJ and all it's symptoms for about 2 decades and diagnosed for 14 years. My dry eyes have resulted in 2 procedures and life changes. My sinuses are killer. I always have sore throats. But then I added horseness and started struggling with swallowing. My ENT prescribed this. I'm struggling with the increase in heart rate and subsequent anxiety, but it's in no small way that I believe this drug may save my vision. I used to wake up in pain and couldn't open my eyes at night even with gel. There are night sweats but I've had those for more than a decade. I don't wake up with vision issues at all. I make saliva and its effects are immediate. | F | 51 | 4 months 30 mg | 4/26/2017 | 5 | severe dry mouth | Sweating in head. Soggy pillow. Nausea went away after 3-4 weeks. | This medication has changed my life. I sure wish I'd known about it before last year. Dry mouth caused me to lose two teeth (implants replaced them @ $1800 each). No more water bottle grabbing either. Stay hydrated anyway. | F | 67 | 1 days 30 mg 4X D | 5/31/2016 | 4 | Lupus, Sjogren's or poss. Sicca | Like so many others --- soggy pillow! A small price to pay to wake up without the Sahara in my mouth. It was like night and day from the very first dose! | I've been taking this medication for about three years and just in the past few weeks have noticed a return of some of my more painful symptoms (burning in the mouth especially). I have a pretty severe case as I have already lost 2 teeth due to dryness. Will check back in with my Rhumy. I occasionally skip a med or two, but cannot miss this one --- can feel the difference immediately. | F | 66 | 3 years 3X D | 6/26/2015 | 5 | Lupus, Sjrogens | I have had no serious side effects. | This drug has done wonders for me. I would highly recommend it. Sometimes I have,access saliva in my mouth, or pillow. But it's so worth it! No more constantly reaching for a water bottle! | F | 26 | 6 days 30 mg | 2/7/2015 | 5 | Rheumatoid Arthritis & Sjögrens | Sweating, excessive urination, drooly pillows (hah) I really am happy with this little pill! My RA decided to give me a present called Sjögrens, so my rheumy gave me another. Evoxac. Has worked wonders, really. 3 times a day and I am good to go. Though I do wake with a wet pillow some mornings! | F | 20 | 1 years | 5/25/2014 | 5 | Sjögren's Syndrome | I didn't experience any side effects with this medication. I highly recommend it to those with Sjögren's-related xerostomia. | F | 25 | 5 months 30 mg | 7/4/2013 | 4 | Sjogrens | The sweating was awful. Somewhat nauseous at first, but that went away. The medication does work well. It really helped with dry eyes, mouth, and sinuses. I am debating whether or not to continue because I am tired of being drenched in sweat all the time. | F | 46 | 2 months 30mg x 2 | 7/2/2013 | 3 | sjogrens | sweating more | its hit or miss with this drug, most of the time it did little or nothing at all. I would say it was about 20% effective | M | 55 | 3 months 30mg 2X D | 5/14/2013 | 1 | SEVERE BLURRED VISION | F | 72 | 2 days 1X D | 2/24/2013 | 4 | Sjogren's | Seems to cause increased head sweating. Increased urination. | Provides much needed relief. I had to do something since I was at risk of loosing my teeth. | F | 49 | 6 weeks 2X D | 9/21/2011 | 5 | Dry Mouth | I haven't noticed any major side effects. | The dose was for 3 times a day, but I have trouble remembering the 3rd dose. 2 times a day seems to do fine for me. It seems funny that I have to take yet another drug to counteract the dry mouth side effect of the drugs I'm already taking | F | 53 | 60 days 30 MG 2X D | 8/15/2011 | 4 | dry mouth, eyes | maybe increased sweating. | I have taken it for 5 years, before that I tried Salagen, but Evoxac works much better for my mouth and eyes. It really makes a difference as I went without it for a week or so, and really missed it. | F | 61 | 5 years | 8/31/2009 | 4 | Dry mouth | Maybe loss of energy? | I was miserable before taking Evoxac, about to go crazy from my dry mouth. I was constantly chewing my tongue or the sides of my mouth. Evoxac has helped to increase my saliva flow, for which I am thankful. I am going to try Salagen to see if it offers greater relief. I take 30 mg three times a day and chew gum constantly to keep the saliva flowing. | F | 55 | 2 months | 6/22/2009 | 1 | Sjigruns | I started with a quater dose every hours and was ok, except heartburn. When I took a three quaters dose I was natious, dizzy,cramps, and felt out if it. It added a little moisture but not the gushes I have heard about. | Some folks say the nausea goes away after a week but I also had dark stools and wonder if it is an allergic response | F | 50 | 2 days | 3/22/2009 | 4 | Sjogrens | So far,side effects have been minimal, but I have only been taking it for less than two weeks. I was told to take 3 times per day but only take in am and pm. | Has tremendously helped my dry mouth and even my eyes. I had completely forgotten what is was like to actually feel my own mouth produce saliva! What a relief! | F | 51 | 10 days | 9/16/2008 | 4 | sjogrens | none | has really helped with the dry mouth | F | 50 | 60 days | 8/11/2008 | 3 | dry mouth | none | F | 55 | 7 days | 3/31/2008 | 5 | Sjogren's Syndrome | I haven't had any side effects. | I take one Evoxac in the morning and one at night, and have for the past 7 years. It's interesting to read about the side effects that others experience. All it's ever given me is relief. The only complaint I would have is that it's so expensive. | F | 66 | 7 years | 3/16/2008 | 5 | Sjogrens Syndrome | Sweating. I'm having abdominal pain and doctor thinks it may be the Evoxac | Has improved my quality of life greatly. Would not want to be without it. My mouth was miserably dry before | F | 52 | 6 months | 2/6/2008 | 5 | sjogrens syndrome | took 3 pills a day. some sweating but not terrible. increased frequency for urination. helped dry eyes | very happy with this med!!! | F | 43 | 2 years | 2/5/2008 | 4 | Sjogren's Syndrome | Excessive sweating is a side effect that I have experienced. At times the excessive sweating is unbearable. My hair gets so wet that it looks as though I have just jumped out of the shower and the sweat soaks through all of the layers of the clothing I am wearing. Due to the amount of water I lose through sweating, I have to be very careful about my water intake. I have found that I need to drink lot of water or I become light-headed. | This drug has been helpful in treating the dry mouth I experience. It has not been very helpful in relieving dry eye symptoms. I was taking it 3-4 times a day when first prescribed but I have reduced the frequency to twice a day. This has helped to decrease the frequency of excessive sweating episodes. | F | 54 | 3 years | 11/16/2007 | 3 | Sjogren's | Sweating | Evoxac has tremendously helped with migraines. Unfortunately it only works temporarily for the Sjogren's. Approximately 30 minutes after injesting the pill, I begin to feel sweat on my back and stomach. It typically last about 45 min - 1 hour and then it's over...until my next pill. It has not helped with my eyes or joints. | F | 32 | 2 months | 10/19/2007 | 3 | dry mouth, nose,, eyes | Sometimes none other times profuse sweating. I cannot take in the evenings before bed as I have been awakened choking on my saliva. | F | 31 | 3 months | 2/19/2007 | 5 | Sjogrens | Unpredictable side effects. I take one pill 3 to 4 times a day depending on my need for relief. Sometimes 20 to 30 minutes after taking a pill I will have profuse sweating and/or frequent urination. | The drug is a life saver. I would not be able to function without the relief that evoxac provides! | F | 49 | 2 years | 7/7/2006 | 1 | Sjogrens | Severe chest pain that put me in the hospital. It was like having a body slam in the chest. I hurt so much I couldn't even move. | It did what it was supposed to do for my skin, eyes, and dryness in the mouth. I stopped having the body slam pains after I quit taking Evoxac. | F | 59 | 6 months | 6/21/2006 | 4 | Dry mouth,difficulty swallowing. | I have not noticed any side effects from this medication. I have only been on it foe a month | My Dr was sure I have Sjogrens syndrome since I display many of the symptoms. Testing was unconclusive. He said he would treat the symptoms any way since they were bothersome. Dry mouth, dry nose, dry cough, sore throat. I take one night and morning and it has been a tremendous help so me. | F | 62 | 4 weeks | 11/17/2005 |
