Side effects from medication?

Probably a weird question, but I'm experiencing a couple of side effects and I wonder whether it could be related to medication I'm taking and has anyone else had the same thing?

I'm taking Pentasa (mesalazine), fluoxetine (for anxiety) and lymocyclen for rosacea. Its really gross, but ever since I have been diagnosed (and since beginning Pentasa) I drool a lot, particularly at night. Does anyone else suffer with this? Its really getting on my nerves!

Also, seem to be suffering with a bit of acid reflux, does anyone else suffer with this?

    I am only on Pentasa now thank goodness and I can say I do not suffer side effects (am touching wood as I type this l.o.l.)  Everyone is so very different with medications tho.  Good luck and hope you get sorted soon.x

    I've been on Pentasa for over a year and no reflux drooling here! Reflux could be a more general digestive health thing. Regular Omeprazole or ad hoc ranatidine couls help - or both together. Avoid lansoprazole it's got a bad rep at the mo - cancer links if I recall.
