i don't know about your meds in particular, but i've definitely had meds make me thirsty. lithium at high doses (1800mgs) made me ridiculously thirsty all the time. i took it this summer, and i craved sweet drinks like you more than water-- i had a huge jamba juice smoothie at least once a day, plus more juice and sometimes soda. had i been on the dose longer, i probably would have gained weight from all the sugar, but in the long run, i didn't have any lasting effects from the thirst and drinking so much. oh, but i did have the problem of polyuria-- having to pee all the time, probably b/c of drinking so much. good luck.
