I've been ordering a pile of paper, for archiving and paying smouldering bills. Everything that reminds me of the recent past - from about three years ago to now - hurts. The melancholic pain of nostalgia. Apparently, the Dex stimulates it. Ritalin makes me feel like being on top of the world - but also makes me care less about my partner. Dex is totally different.
I find all tasks and chores that need to be done so overwhelming. Dex does help with doing unpleasant stuff. On Ritalin I tend to avoid nasty chores and go surfing the internet or something. Pleasure seeking behavior. This is less so or not so with the Dex.
I'll try taking 2.5mg three or four times today, to see if I can smear out the drug's effects over the day a little more.
Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg, dexamphetamine 5-10mg
As needed: bethanechol 25-50mg, oxazepam 5-10mg, diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg
