Hello. I have reviewed the concerns regarding your mother's increased salivation and changes in her mobility. ​At 79, while she remains active, the sudden onset of these symptoms following a change in her psychiatric medication requires careful evaluation. ​1. Potential Medication Side Effects ​Drug-Induced Symptoms: Many antipsychotic medications can cause "extrapyramidal symptoms." This often includes excessive drooling (salivation) and muscle stiffness, which may explain why she is having difficulty getting up and requires support. ​Sialorrhea (Excessive Salivation): This is a common side effect of specific psychiatric drugs. It occurs because the medication can affect the swallowing reflex or increase saliva production. ​2. Mobility and Safety ​Muscle Stiffness: If the medication is causing stiffness, it increases her risk of falls. The fact that she now needs support to stand is a significant change in her "active" baseline. ​Next Steps ​Immediate Review: You must consult her Psychiatrist or a Neurologist as soon as possible. Do not stop any medications abruptly, but the doctor may need to adjust the dosage or switch to a different medication with a lower side-effect profile. ​Physical Assessment: A doctor needs to check her for "cogwheel rigidity" or other signs of drug-induced parkinsonism. ​Supportive Care: Ensure she has assistance when standing to prevent falls until her medication is adjusted.

Please consult a Dentist or an ENT surgeon in your area for a physical examination. There can be some dental problem or oral pathology which may lead to excessive salivation. I am not aware of any medicine which causes excessive salivation.

This looks most likely related to medication side effects some psychiatric drugs can cause excess salivation and is manageable 👍 Let’s review her medicines and symptoms once and guide you properly please book a quick consult.

Due to psychic medicine it may be?

Hi Consult to MD medicine or neurologist physically

Excess salivation can be due to antipsycosis meds, due to local dental or gums issue or age related slow swallowing and clearing of saliva. Please consult a dentist physically.

Its due to side effects of psychosis treating medication.please once confirm with treating doctor.better if you visit there and consult this issue with psychiatrist.

In an elderly patient (79F) recently started on antipsychotic medications, the sudden onset of increased salivation (Sialorrhea) and difficulty in rising from a seated position (Mobility issues) is highly suggestive of Drug-Induced Parkinsonism. This is a common side effect of certain psychiatric drugs that block dopamine receptors. While the medications are necessary to manage psychosis, in the elderly, they can sometimes cause muscle stiffness and excess saliva production. It is important to differentiate this from a new neurological issue or a progression of her existing thyroid/BP conditions

This sudden onset may be daunting. Given the age and the details provided to me this excessive salivation ( sialorrhea) and difficulty in getting up could be  a side-effect of the medication for psychosis. In medical jargon these could be Extrapyramidal Symptoms. However, I hope she has gone through her blood work to assess her Thyroid Profile, Electrolytes, HBa1C to rule out that there is no imbalance there.
