What Causes Excess Saliva?

Hi, I also suffer from Excess saliva for the past four years and sad part is that no doctor seem to understand my illness, and it is so embarrasing when I talk especially now that most of the time the corner of my lips has became whitish and I guess is disgusting to people. Please advise.
