Totally got that on clozapine. A lot of people do - almost all in fact. I think there are some meds that can help ---

It happens to me also, been on Clozapine for over 5 years now and it hasn’t changed… I have some Atropine droplets to dry up the mouth but I am not a fan of fixing one issue with another band-aid. Also tried the towel trick on the pillow. Best of luck! ---

My doctor prescribed a low dose of hydroxazine(sp?) That at 150mg of clozapine stopped my drooling. ---
