Hi!
You could always consider taking a very low dose of distigmine (Ubretid) to treat your desipramine-induced dry mouth. I don't know where you live so I'm not sure whether distigmine will be available. A suitable dose might be 2.5 mg once daily. Distigmine inhibits the breakdown of acetylcholine and so it might be effective in relieving anticholinergic side effects.
Regards,
Ed.
