Yes, it does produce a little bit of cottonmouth to it and I have to drink extra water in the mornings when I'm taking at bedtime. However, it doesn't induce thirst as much as lithium did. The sleepiness does tend to back off some, but can be a problem. If you find it works well, you might get by with a lower dosage which should help that.
