Vocal chords

Hi.......I've been on gabapentin for a few years for RLS thanks to this forum, which works well for me. I'm also taking HRT and Alendronic acid and Adcal for osteoperosis. Does anyone know if any of these meds affect vocal chords. I'm a singer, and find I'm unable to sing for over 30 mins now before mucus builds up and I become croaky.

Alendronic Acid can cause side effects such as irritation or pain in the esophagus and throat, which might indirectly affect your voice. The HRT and Adcal should have no effect.

However HRT can make RLS worse.
