Saliva and dry mouth: Head and neck cancer and treatments

Hello,
There are medications that can make you hyper salivate, the seizure medication Klonopin is one of them although we can also make your mouth dry as well. My experience with Klonopin Was when I first started taking it it made my mouth dry but as the doctor is increased my dose to nearly the max dose I started to salivate more. After approximately 40 years I don’t remember if it had an unusual taste or not. If I remember correctly I believe it was worse at night.
Drinking lots of water can help reduce excess saliva production as can good oral hygiene.
My dad took Elavil to reduce his saliva production.
Good luck,
Jake

Thank you. I'll look it up. Did he ever find out why he had the excess saliva production? You see, this all started and I had been on certain meds for quite a while without this occurring. Stay safe(at home!)
