Rebound dryness?

I finally managed to try Evoxac (brand name).
I had high hopes for it.
It ended up modestly increasing saliva for a few hours but not helping any with tears.
However, hours afterwards my dryness increased drastically
and remained at its worst for a day and a half.
Has this happened to anybody else after taking Evoxac? A sort of "rebound dryness"?  ???

I get some rebound dryness buy get a very large benefit from taking exovac. I have difficulty swallowing food or maintaining conversation without exovac due to dryness. 

Did you stop taking it for some reason?  Normally you will get into a bit of a rhythm after taking it for a while and won't get the severe rebound dryness.
Sjogren's, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Low Vitamin D, Sciatica down both legs permananently.
Take Enbrel, Synthroid, Oxycodone, Oxymorphone ER, Gabapentin, Raios (long acting prednisone), Vivlodex, Aquaoral, Exovac,  and endless eye drops :-)
Tumeric, Sea Buckthorn Oil and Vit D

Yes Kristian, I only took it for 2 days since I only have enough Evoxac
for a trial. It's not readily available where I live so I wanted to do a trial before
going through all the channels to import it.
When I stopped it after 2 days the dryness became worse than ever for about a day and a half.
I was also disappointed it didn't increase my tears at all.
