A member asked:
I am experiencing overproduction of saliva and drooling when yawning. is it a symptom of parkinson's disease dysphagia dysarthria? on antipsychotics
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Side effect: without additional parkinsonism symptoms such as slowness of movement, resting tremors, cogwheel rigidity, isolated excess drooling is unlikely to be related to Parkinson's disease and most likely is a side effect of an antipsychotic which can cause excessive saliva production and drooling. This issue resolves with discontinuation of an antipsychotic.
