Excessive saliva!

Hello! Has anyone had excessive saliva? I have it so bad and nothing has helped! I get Botox shots every 12 weeks in my salivary glands and wear a scopolamine patch that gets changed every 72 hours!

My neurologist suggested that I go to an ENT doctor to discuss having my salivary gland removed! Has anyone had this done?

Be very cautious about making permanent changes to your salivary glands. There is not just one there are a number of them.. I suffer from low saliva which can also happen with Parkinson's. You do not want to risk having this condition because it can result in rampant tooth decay. Have you tried vitamin B1 yet?
