Clozapine: Sialorrhea (excessive drooling) can occur in 30 to 80% of people taking clozapine. It may not decrease. Although usually dose independent, lowering dose may decrease sx. Atropine or Glycopyrolate may help. Tell your dr. if it is causing gagging. REF: https://www.thenationalcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Clozapine-Webinar-3-.pdf?daf=375ateTbd56
