Many can dry you out: Many drugs have the side affect of causing a moth to dry out or reduce saliva flow. If you aren't on any medications, then scopolamine is one that will do the trick. Another things that works...If you are in a state where marijuana is legal...It too works to dry up a mouth. Remember the word legal.

Most drugs: It is not bad to have excessive saliva. It is actually good for your teeth. Most medications will reduce saliva production. Anticholinergic medications, such as Glycopyrrolate and scopolamine, are effective in reducing drooling in sever cases.
