Does Seroquel Cause Excessive Drooling?
My 92 y/o mom was just Dx with degenerative dementia. She was given 25mg od Seroquel at bedtime in the hospital to help her sleep. She is home on hospice since Sat 2/18 and experiencing bouts of severe agitation (spitting, cursing...awful. Not her at all). The Psychchiatrist told me I can give her more seoquel during the day if needed. I am giving her 25mg in the am now as well as her pm dose. She also has dysphagia, and I am noticing excessive drooling. Am I giving her too much Seroquel. She weighs 90 lbs. Thank you
