I have a plethora of saliva. I put a cloth in the corner of my mouth to wick it off, to help me sleep. I find putting a breath mint lodged above my dentures inside my cheek/lip helps me remember to swallow when in public. I blame part of the drooling on lack of feeling in my face. I don't feel the moisture. My grandchildren sometimes tell me I need to clean my face (with love). When I am focused on a project... like weeding, my mouth relaxes and because I am leaning over I start dripping.

Drooling is a common symptom of PD. It was what finally got me to a doctor, thinking I had some type of mild paralysis on one side of my face. From what I understand, it's because we don't swallow saliva automatically or as often as someone without PD and the excess just leaks out. My medication pretty much stopped the drooling although sometimes, if I a engrossed in something like playing the piano or reading a book, it still happens.

About a month ago I noticed some wetness during the day. I never feel like my mouth is full of saliva and when I'm up and about my lips are shut. I kept wondering where the liquid was coming from and how it escapes from my closed lips. No drooling when sleeping. I wake with tongue stuck to palate. I have decided that since no pain is involved, I'll consider it an annoyance.

I have drooling and dribbly, so at night i use tape or anti-snoring strap kit to keep mouth closed and during the day a pocket full of kleenex. I have a heavy goatee and moe that i sometimes leave untouched for months and other times shorten or remove and regrow it doesnt change the drooling. I also notice i get free flowing clear fluid from nose and to stop that one antihistamine tablet generally stops the episode. Hope this is helpful and gives you some ideas - Andy

I've been drooling for about a month. I can't figure out how it is coming out of my mouth because my mouth is closed and I don't feel like I have extra spit. Since it isn't causing pain, I just put up with it and wonder when I'll start foaming at the mouth.
