Hello @sadiecora,

I've never used this med for drooling. So far, I've found that chewing gum works pretty well when I'm having a drooling episode. Here is some information regarding this med from Mayo's website:

Here is another link to information from the National Institutes of Health website,

Did your husband have tremors before taking this med? Has your husband considered talking with his doctor about taking a lesser dose to see if that would reduce the tremors? It might be worth a call to the doctor's office to see if this would be a possibility.

Thank you for your reply Teresa, I appreciate your advice and the two websites.
My husband had a slight tremor when he took the medicine but it increased rapidly afterwards. The doctor suggested lowering the dose by a half. Sadiecora
