I'd suggest lowering the daily dose a little (5 mgs). Stay at that dose for at least a few weeks. Maybe even a month. Then try lowering it another small amount. Usually if you stop stimulants cold turkey you'll have three very bad (depressed/exhausted) days to get through. Maybe even more than three. Could be a week. If it's really hard, some Sudafed or something might help a little. Drink coffee, soda or tea to help get you started in the morning. Another thing you could do is switch over to Adderall which is less potent. If you take 15 mg Dexedrine, then take 15 mg Adderall and see if that makes it a little easier to ween off stimulants. And you can break Adderall tablets into very little pieces so you can really control how much you take.
