Sublinguinal NDT and dry mouth?

I take 82.5 mcg Naturethroid daily. Based on the STTM recommendation, about 2-3 weeks ago I began dissolving the pill under my tongue.

Overall, my wellbeing has improved - calmer and less depressed, more energy and endurance, chronic cough disappeared. However, about a week ago I began experiencing very dry lips and mouth. Has this happened to anyone else?

I experienced a dry throat and increased thirst when my dose was too high. This is a different sensation.

I've also had some dry mouth, lips eyes, etc - the symptoms started around the time I first started Naturethroid, another NDT brand.

Because people starting NDT also tend to have adrenal problems, I thought there might be a connection, so I've been looking into adrenal fatigue and dryness. There may be a connection via aldosterone, but I haven't been able to clear up the symptoms yet.

If you see this, let me know if you've had any success or leads, or would like to chat :)
