Hi,

Thank you for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Stress has very non specific presentations and symptoms vary from individual to individual. Yes, in some cases it can cause dry mouth. But tingling is a common finding. Anyhow, other possible causes need to be ruled out.

Brief Answer:
Physical examination is needed

Hi,

Thanks for the follow up!

Things like dehydration, generalized anxiety disorder need to be ruled out. However, a physical examination is mandatory to comment on this and can give few other possibilities.

Brief Answer:
Generalized anxiety disorder need to be ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the follow up.

Advil has not been reported to have any effects on stress or cause dry mouth when withdrawn. However, you need to mention this to your treating doctor as well. Moreover, as I mentioned previously dehydration, generalized anxiety disorder needs to be ruled out. Furthermore, it would be unethical and inappropriate to prescribe you scheduled drugs for stress without doing a proper examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.
