Advice regarding breath mints?

As my COPD progresses, I find myself mouth-breathing more and more. Consequently my mouth gets extremely dry and has a terrible 'metallic' taste. I'm scared of what my breath smells like to others and do my best to avoid close contact!
I'm looking for a strong lozenge that could help with the terrible taste and dryness, dragon's breath, and is formulated for dry mouth?
Using mouthwash throughout the day, rinsing with water, Altoids, Hall's, etc don't work well or last long for me.
Has anyone encountered a product that addresses these issues, tastes good and doesn't break the bank?

I can't be the only one to think this.

I was in the hardware store yesterday when the Emergency Alert System broke into the radio station playing on the store speakers. It turned out it was just about some heavy weather coming our way.
But in the 20 or 30 seconds before the actual message began to play, my thought was immediately: "Ah shit. What's he done now? Incoming missiles on the way? He's declared martial law? He's activated our nuclear arsenal?"
I thought the same things during 16-20, and now again in 1925. I'm exhausted!

I've become a fan of True Lemon crystals for my water bottles. But I find the process of opening individual packets, unscrewing the cap, adding, shaking, and replacing the cap before moving on annoying and not very eco-friendly. Also spilled crystals and loose packet pieces are aggravating.
Has anyone tried making a bulk concentrate from the shaker with success? And what is the ratio? I thought I could put in a squeeze bottle and just give each bottle a squirt.
