I use the Biotene toothpaste. Even when my dry mouth went away - because the taste is very mild. The toothpaste will not cure your dry mouth, but it will keep your dry mouth from ruining your gums. Since I have bad gums anyway, this is important.
Water helps. I carry a water bottle wherever I go. This helps when I get so dry that I can't talk. If it is really bad then eating (even just a little bit) helps. But I can't eat every time my mouth is dry or I won't fit through the door! I try to eat something healthy. Surprisingly, even dry foods like crackers can get the juices moving again (and those are pretty portable).
Dry mouth is a pain, but depression is much worse. Good luck!
