Brief Answer:
Lyrica

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

Looking over your medication the lyrica is the cause of your dry mouth. You have a choice, either you can stop the medication or continue it. If you decide to continue I would recommend that you use a mouthwash biotene that will help with dry mouth. Otherwise as long as you take it you will have a dry mouth
