What Causes Increased Amount Of Saliva?
I quit smoking this January and experienced a significant increase in saliva. How long will this increase go on. I did not experience the increase in coughing. This saliva thing is driving me crazy. I didn't notice this at first. I am also taking Prystique a new form of effexor. I have asked the therapist if this is from the drug. They do not think so. Dry mouth is more expected. Anyway, if you have any ideas on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

Hello! Read your query.
These drugs are supposed to reduce the salivary flow.
Smoking also reduces salivary flow to a noticeable extent.
You did not mention the reason for taking Prystique.
Check if you have gastic reflux disease.
This can be due to a poor clearance rather than excess production(related to your depression)
You must consult your physician regarding this.
Use a mouthwash diluted in 1:1 ratio.
Hope this helps.
