About Nudexta, I have seen it advert ised on TV for EL (emotional lability) I believe it does help with swallowing. Another cheaper drug is Amytriptlyne (elavil) It is a mild anti depressant, sleep enhancer, and pain med. Non addicting, and an added side effect is that it gives you dry mouth, so helps with drooling. Very good drug for about $10 a month.
