I haven't experienced anything like that for a long time.
Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and that should help.
Get levels checked, make sure you're in the safe zone, and check with your doc.

That is great that your meds have lasted that long, I am jealous. My meds last from 3 months to 1 year.

Time to see the pdoc.

I've never been on the same meds that long. I've been on one for about 4 now, but as far as side effects...I've been on the same ones for a good long while and I noticed my mouth getting dry too. I was wondering the same thing. Like uh...can these side effects that once were there at the beginning just come back from the grave and bite you in the ass?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
