Brief Answer:
Sips of water will help dry mouth
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The medication given to you : censpram for anxiety is right. Dry mouth is one of the common side effects of this medicine. Infact, almost all antidepressants and anti anxiety medicines lead to dryness of mouth. It may also lead to constipation. the best way to handle this is to:
1. take sips of water every 10-15minutes, not a glass of water...the sips of water will not cause urination and will let the water stay in body and help dry mouth
2. increase the amount of salad and Fruits in diet. 3-4 servings of salad in a day helps a lot.
Regarding tingling in legs: they are not a common side effect seen with censpram, so if you are sure that you developed it after starting censpram- please talk to your doctor .
the multivitamin given to you is good, so, keep taking it, it can help you.
Also get thyroid levels and blood pressure and blood sugar checked, as they can also lead to tingling sensation.
if even after proper measures the tingling dosent go, then you may have to change the medicine...so, keep a check..
Hope the reply is useful for you.
Wish you good health. Please feel free to ask more queries if you have.
