Dx primary sjogrens, using restasis more than 3 mnths n it's not working, should i assume its not going to wrk? several xtra dry spots in r eye. help!

Yes: That is adequate time. It is quite possible that the tear glands can no longer function even with Restasis. Speak with your ophthalmologist. There are other options.
