Alfuzosin and thirst/dehydration?

My imagination...or real? I wake up at 2 in the morning with a wicked thirst and dry mouth. Every night without fail. I am on alfuzosin daily, taken before bed around 10 pm. Then clearly bone-dry dehydrated at 2 in the morning. Every night. Drink a lot of water to satiate and then I have the other problem an hour later. Anyone experience that with this drug? I've been on it three years now and don't recall it a problem back when. I am 73 yo and in otherwise OK health. I also take melatonin before bed. Thanks for any thoughts.

    No, alfuzosin is special. Every medicine has half-life in the body and is eventually excreted by liver.
