"Hypersalivation may occur in association with pregnancy, excessive starch intake, gastroesophageal reflux disease, pancreatitis, liver disease, serotonin syndrome, and oral ulcers.
Use of certain medications like clozapine, pilocarpine and potassium chlorate, and toxins such as mercury, copper and arsenic also may be associated with hypersalivation."
Maybe this could help...

Found these as possibilities....
A) Increased salivation can also be related to heartburn. The contents of your stomach are acidic, and when they back up on you, they irritate your esophagus and cause the burning sensation so familiar to heartburn sufferers. The acid sensors in your esophagus then trigger your salivary glands to produce saliva that has an increased concentration of bicarbonate, which is alkaline.
B)Medications- In particular, cholinergic drugs can cause an overproduction of saliva. Discuss with your doctor if you believe your medication is causing hyper salivation.
C) Toxins- Poisoning from certain toxins can result in hypersalivation as one of the side affects. Your doctor should be consulted immediately if you believe you have ingested any toxins.
D) Lesions or infections in the oral cavity- An infection of the mucosal lining of the mouth is referred to as stomatitis. Stomatitis can result from infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, fungi), which can develop when poor oral hygiene is maintained. Physical injury or chemotherapy can also result in lesions and infections in the mouth. Your dentist or doctor can be consulted if you are experiencing any infection in the oral cavity.

It seems things that stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system can cause it too.

Drooling is a symptom of parasites. I guess excess saliva could fall into that category.
Hope you're doing well canefan.

Yes, I have had this my entire life, and so did my Father.
In my case, it responds well to homeopathic Aurum Arsenicum. To me, this means it is not a metals issue but a LYME issue. Because this heomeopathic remedy helps with other symptoms that for me are certainly Lyme-related.

This was one of my first symptoms, getting random gushes into my mouth especially right before and during my period. It went away for the most part with rifampin/doxy but it still occurs once every few months.

For me, I believe directly Lyme-related. I had so much saliva I had to spit in a cup or it made me stomach sick. Was on no meds, not diagnosed, just neurologically very ill - from LD & company. I'm still sick, but mouth not as consistently "juicy," though still have occasions where I have more spit than normal. Just my experience. TS
