The blurry vision is probably from excess norepinepherine. Are you on any other ADs, etc? Dry mouth is not as intimately tied to thirst as you may realize. You can have dry mouth without being dehydrated, and you can be dehydrated and have a very moist mouth. The dry mouth comes from activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which also probably induces rapid voiding of the bladder as well in order to make you lighter so you can fight or flee. :)
If the urniation thing is REALLY bothering you, get some vasopressin nasal spray. I would to Desoxyn if possible; that has the least peripheral side effects out of any stimulant. failing that, try Focalin; that will probably give you significantly fewer side effects like the ones you're talking about.
