I had a knee replacement in Jan and developed really bad Sciatica with for which I was given Gabapentin which helped. I have developed a really dry mouth and am permanently drinking so constantly having to go to the loo so not getting any sleep. Given Pilocarpine which is helping some but still suffering. Also a lot of pain asked for referral to pain team but GP not keen. So fed up. Any help greatly appreciated.

I suffered dry mouth whilst on gabapentin. I guess its one of the side effects.
