A member asked:
Is dry mouth a normal side effect of seizure medication?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Xerostomia (dry mouth) is a side effect of many medications, including antiseizure meds. It is important to see your dentist regularly to make sure that this side effect is not causing any problems in your mouth. Root surface cavities is the most common problem with having dry mouth. Periodontal disease risk increases, and cavity risk also increases with xerostomia.
