But I've just been feeling kind of crummy all day but yesterday I was fine. So I'm wondering if maybe that extra 20 was bad. I do have to call my pdoc in the morning and tell the office I need my valium refilled. I am not that short now after going those few days with just 2 day. I'm more like 3 or 4 days short now instead of 10. I'm just hoping theres no problems.

I would say you took too much. Drooling is a very common side effect of clozapine and I honestly had never read about it before even though it's something I live with every day.. It seems that drooling on it (and I assume on other APs since clozapine is so strong) is due to being too sedated and not swallowing so the drool just runs out of your mouth. It's expected with Clozapine but I don't think it is with Geodon so I'd say you took too much and over-sedated yourself.
