I have been extremely thirsty this week and last week also.
Nothing seems to quench this thirst!
Is this happening to anyone else?

I have drank 7 bottles of water today , my husband commented on that being a lot even for me . Honestly I believe the concern is for the constant trips I'll make tonight lol.

I drink almost a gal of cold water a day. Gabapentin, Fentanyl patch, Tizadine, Oxycodone make me thirsty. The colder the water the better. Hard candy helps too.

I'm the same. I think from Meds and pain.

Yes, it actually IS possible to drink too much water. A friend of mine had someone close to them die of over hydration. But to the original query, I believe that our med cause a lot of dehydration issues. I find that gum and mouthwash designed for dry mouth very helpful.

I sip on water all day everyday! I think it may be medication related. My husband thinks I drink too much water. Not sure if that is even possible.
