Drooling/Botox/dry mouth

Drooling: I had Botox injections in my salivary glands to reduce drooling. I now have extreme dry mouth (cotton mouth). Supposedly takes months to wear off. The cotton mouth is more bothersome than the drooling. Has anyone experience this?

I have low saliva but nonetheless can drool on my pillow due to reduced muscle tone of my lips.

I also only drool at night (at the moment). A friend with PD says he was recommended to chew gum to help with daytime drooling and he has found this helpful.

Biotene lozenges were helpful to me.
