I just hate it when a medication makes my mouth dry. I was on one for blood pressure that made my mouth so dry my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth. I drank and drank and drank --- and finally stopped the medication.

You might give your pharmacist a call and ask which of the meds has a potential side effect of dry mouth.
