Maxime,Is there any chance that not taking the Dexedrine for a few days is causing your very low mood? I mean if you are used to the Dex and then quit taking it, wouldn't you be likely to experience some bad effects from not having it? I used to take amphetamines and I always felt terrible for a while when I'd periodically quit them. And honestly, amphetamines really made my depression much worse in the long run.
I'm just throwing out random theories in hopes of hitting something...
