Any stimulant medication is going cause dry mouth, because it speeds up your metabolism so that you're burning everything off quicker.
I already struggle with dry mouth due to a medical condition, so when I was taking ADHD medication, I always always had to have something with me: a bottle of water, some Ricola cough drops -- which I figured were a little healthier for me to rely on than candy, but it's still a lot of sugar.. there's probably some even healthier lozenge-type options out there that I didn't get around to finding.
Only way to avoid the dry mouth would be to switch to a non-stimulant. Strattera works for some people.
