Ok, so, I have been drooling an inordinate amount. Not enough to make me concerned. But enough for me to, after a while, take notice. I'm not a drooler. However, recently I've drooled not only at night, but while awake and upright! Yes, you heard me! Just sitting there on the couch, folding laundry, feeling a little cool spot on my chin, and, yep - drool. Weird. And gross.
I'm a little embarrassed, so I haven't mentioned it to anyone. But TODAY, I read the side effects of the new drug I'm on, and DROOLING IS ONE OF THEM! Hurray! I mean, you know, not that it's a good side effect... Ok, so it is technically worded as "increased amount of saliva," and I am SO GLAD that it isn't just me lookin' like a bulldog.
I don't read the possible side effects of medication before I start taking it; I'm afraid of the power of suggestion. So, I'm always interested to find out how many common ones I have experienced after a couple weeks on the drug. However, today I made the mistake of reading them for a new drug that I have yet to take, and I got my hopes way up high. It says "loss of appetite!" YES! After all these weeks of ravenous hunger (and added pounds), could there be relief and one less chin in my future? Gosh, I really hope so! Everyone use your powers of suggestion to make me not hungry!!!! I'll keep you posted.

Is it wrong that I think it's hilarious that you're drooling??
I mean I really really laughed out loud.
What a strange side effect.
What about the bladder control medicine they advertise on TV that has increased gambling or sexual urges as side effects?
So you can hold your pee while you piss away your life savings?
When I had my jaw surgery in high school I drooled non-stop for months. At least your face isn't swollen to twice it's size and black and blue.
