Question Posted By: Lisa on Saturday, August 08, 1998

I have a rather embarassing problem. For the last year and a half, I noticed when I speak I spit out saliva while I am talking. I find it extremely difficult to look people in the face and talk to them because they will wipe their face when I am talking. I have nothing medically wrong with my mouth. The medication I am on a a regular basis is valium. I have been on it, under a Dr.'s care, for about 4 years. Could the valium be causing this? I don't know who to ask about this, I am even to embarrassed to ask my Doctor. Have you ever heard of this before? Who can I go to for this problem? What can I do to end it so I can look at people in the face again? Thank you!
