It used to be so strong that on opening my mouth saliva would come out in a spray. Another occasion would be a visit to the dentist where the saliva production could be awkward and probably was psychosomatically induced. In those cases there was a real cause of increased saliva production and not a sudden cessation of swallowing." I recall that old Pavlov had a dog with a similar (psychosomatically induced) problem. At least this is what I thought, but maybe I just hear a little bell ringing somewhere. There could be a link here between this and the item some time ago about dogs using Eldepryn?
