It is my understanding that the medications which stimulate saliva may also increase tear flow.

I believe that is the case for me.  I've taken either Evoxac or Salagen since my 'diagnosis' (not based on blood tests) in 2002.  Currently I take 20 mg of Salagen (Pilocarpine, the generic).

Regards,  Elaine

I believe it's helped my eyes a bit, and has significantly helped my sinuses.

Well it did at first, but I cut back on the dosage and my eyes are drier than ever.
