Hi,

Has anyone experienced drooling from the medication they take? If so,
what medicine do you know or think you know is causing the drooling?

I think I am getting this side effect from either the Seroquel or
Respirdal, that I am taking.

Mark

Have you told your doctor about this? And yes, some anti-psychotics can
cause drooling (I have a friend who takes Geodon with this problem).

Her doctor told her to take Benadryl (50mg) to stop the problem. Don't know
if this would help everyone though - you really need to talk the doctor!

The serious side effect you need to watch for is uncontrolled mouth
movements - tongue constantly moving, biting/rolling lips around etc. This
is a sign of Tardive Dyskinesia - you need to let the doctor know right
away!!! Check out www.craymeds.ort under novel/atypical antipsychotics.

Hi Mark,

Now that you mention it, I drool too. I can be absorbed in something
and I have had to wipe my mouth and during sleep but I didn't pay much
attention to it til now. The other times I noticed I drooled especially
in my sleep was when I was pregnant.

I think it's better than having that dry mouth that is so annoying.

I also take risperdal. ???

I take both Lamictal and Risperidal, no drooling so far. But good to
know in case I do. Skip

Hi Mark,

when I was on Seroquel I was drooling a lot, even so I was already on a low
dosis. I guess I slept so deep that I didn't even realize it until in the
morning when I found my pillow wet.
