I took pilocarpine and had severe side effects but as you experience, I got a burst of saliva.

However, a few days into taking pilocarpine I was shopping downtown and had vertigo and vomiting

so bad.....I sat on the asphalt next to my car and used my cell phone to call my husband to

come pick me up...I was unable to drive home. 

I've too worried to try any other similar meds b/c the experience was that awful to me.

but I see others do well.......life is like a box of chocolates/

Eye2, I had a similar reaction to pilocarpine. About ten minutes after taking a dose I would be so nauseated that I couldn't move my head. It went away after about 30 minutes, and if I took my next dose on time I wouldn't get that reaction. But I don't have a very good memory, so...

I now take Evoxac (generic form) and have never had any side effects. Plus it works like a charm!
