EVOXAC  (CEVIMELINE HYDROCHLORIDE):  This medication is used to treat symptoms of dry mouth due to a certain immune disease (Sjogren's syndrome). Cevimeline belongs to a class of drugs known as cholinergic agonists. It works by stimulating certain nerves to increase the amount of saliva you produce, making it easier and more comfortable to speak and swallow.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2000-01-11

 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

 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

 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

 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

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
