Dry mouth: Dry mouth only during sleep would not be from taking beta blockers which you discontinued 11 days ago. Usually it's from sleeping with your mouth open. Keep a glass of water at the bedside. A dry environment may aggravate the problem as well.

Accepted Answer

: Before I suspect MS, I would look for other scattered neurological symptoms &amp; signs. Parkinsonism can start like that but the slurring speech symptoms wouldn't be so few and far between. ALS.or myasthenia gravis aren't likely in my opinion.  Dry mouth,klonopin and fatigue may be more likely causes in your case. If you're still concerned you can consult a neurologist for evaluation and advice.
