I discontinued the Dex because of its detrimental effects on work, social performance and mental stability.
Now I'm still hoping that I could take it as needed for situations in which I need to do a lot of stuff that I don't like to do. Dex does help with that. It also doesn't inflate my ego to the point where I feel so independent that I lose my sense of fairness and feel ready to quit my relationship for the slightest wrong done to me by my partner. (Methylphenidate/Concerta/Ritalin does that.) Neither does it promote pleasure seeking behavior (idem). And the come-down/rebound isn't as bad as Rita's. So it does have something to offer. It's just a bummer that it makes me perform worse in my job as a call-center agent.
Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg, dexamphetamine 5-10mg
As needed: bethanechol 25-50mg, oxazepam 5-10mg, diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg
