Really embarrassing

[Hash]

I am currently on a new sleeeping tablet and I have looked at the side effects and it says nothing about this one.

I am on Zolpidem as a replacement to phennegan and clonazepam and I am having excess saliva so I am tending to dribble when I don't want to.

THe other effect I am noticing is that I am more awake in the mornings which is really nice but the problem is I am only on the zolpidem for a short time period.

I know of a service user at work dribbling due to a medication change. But that was stopped because of that effect. Maybe contact the person that described it?

I haven't found dribbling cos of zolpidem and have been on max dose for a while

If dribbling persists you could ask about quells (anti-seasickness pills) they can be quite effective

I am able to control it if I concentrate as much as I can on controlling it.

Will try and ask for quells.

I am finding the Zolpidem does not give me a hangover in the morning at all, in fact I am quite awake in the morning.

I know some meds cause dry mouth but it goes after a few weeks so maybe that will be the case with this? although I read that this is a short term med.
Is it definatly excess saliva, not a weakness in the lips causing it to leak?
hope you can work out a way of controlling it. xx

No it's definitely excess saliva, I am having to really think about controlling it, I read up and this is not normally a side effect.

I woke hubbie up at five am this morning to get up, I am so awake in the morning.

Hopefully this is a side effect which will wear off shortly, i remember having one where i literally couldnt stop doing the biggest longest yawns ever, lol, was very strange! xxx
