I impulsively stopped taking Dex for a few days. Was wondering wether I could do without it. Well, I've become sick, throat virus, not dex related I'm sure. Day two without dex, melancholia began to strike. Also, chaos seemed to be back with a vengeance. Libido flew away.
Today I took a mini-dose of 1.25mg in the morning and another 1.25mg in the afternoon. I feel better. Chaos lifts. Feel enthusiasm coming back. Libido returns.
Maybe I could get by on supersmall maintenance doses, and then take more for the better type of chore busting.
My wife has noticed me grinding my teeth in my sleep a couple of times. That may be due to the dex.
I talked to my p-doc a few days ago, and told him how dex was at first a disappointment, with the anti-social effects and the extra anxiety. P-doc said that dex can have a flattening effect indeed. It was good to hear it's not that exotic. But luckily those effects faded after a few weeks.

Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg, dexamphetamine 5-10mg, bethanechol 20-60mg. As needed/wanted: oxazepam 5-20mg.
