Crazy salivation.

I'm on Clozapine atm. Every morning, I wake up to find that my pillow is soaked in my own saliva and that my cheek is wet with it. I appear to drool like mad at night.

Does anyone know how I can stop myself from drooling so much?



PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.

I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.

Woops, posted before I'd finished writing! Yeah, like I said Steel, that will be the Clozapine. I'm on it for treatment resistant Schizoaffective disorder. Five hospitalisations, 6 diff anti-psychotics.
Anyhow, ask your Doctor to prescribe Kwells, it greatly reduces the hypersalivation.

When I started Clomipramine I had crazy dry mouth and they gave me stuff for that so I assume there's a medication to reverse it. Ah just read the rest of the thread aye looks like you have the answer from kits there.

there is a medication to reverse it, i have forgotten its name, so talk to your dr. about it.

It is a common side effect though.

I'm on Clozapine and I'm prescribed Pirenzepine which is supposed to stop the excess salivation. It doesn't completely stop it but it does help.

I don't know of anything that will stop it but I can suggest that until you do find something that you sleep with a towel/old blanket on top of your pillow if you don't want it soaked.
