Bladder Leakage, Dry And Sore Mouth. Medicated With Oxybutynin 5mg. Advice?

I am a 63 yr old woman w/ a bladder leakage problem. I have been taking oxybutynin 5mg 2x/da for about 4 mo. I have been experiencing a dry/sore roof of my mouth since Feb. I also have a hoarseness in my speech. Not that I ever had a great voice, but now it hurts to attempt to sing in Church. I use biotene mouth spray for temporary relief. By temporary, I mean a few minutes. Lozenges don't help. I take other medications for RA, but I've been on them since 2005. Any advice? Chris Patterson
