Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms Dry mouth and dizziness are common side effect of Amitryptiline (typtomer) which is an anti-depressant while propranolol and suminat can cause dizziness but Dry mouth is less commonly seen..

I would suggest you to consult your treating physician and get evaluated and if possible he can reduce the dose of typtomer and hopefully you might feel better..

Other Medication needs to be altered or changed if altering the dose of typtomer does not resolve the problem..

As for now you can chew sugar free chewing gums as it helps in stimulating saliva flow..
Artificial salivary drops are also available with pharmacist and can be instilled in mouth for relief..

Hope this information helps..
