Drooling . . .

[Markey]

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.

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.

I'm on Risperdal, Depakote and Effexor (I am at least medium bipolar).
I've recently started taking medication holidays on the weekends, and
on these weekends, my dreams are super intense. And I found myself
drooling for the first time in a very long time, when I woke up from
one of these dreams.
