Are Symptoms Such As Extreme Sleepiness And Salty Taste In Mouth Side Effects Of Taking Kor Con For Low Potassium?

I am borderline low in potassium (3.4) and just started increasing dose of klor-con M10 (potassium supplement) from 1 per day to 2 per day, as directed by my doctor. It has made me extremely sleepy and a salty taste in my mouth...does that sound like a side effect from the potassium? What do you recommend? Thank you, Susan
