Dry mouth: Many medications can cause dry mouth. Even many over the counter meds can do this. If you are not peeing excessively, it may just be xerostomia (dry m). Anxiety and your emotional state can do this. Try some lemon in your water. It stimulates the salivary glands which is why most have dry mouth - due to inactivity of the salivary glands. See a doctor for tests.
