Started the dex on Wednesday morning. It definitely had an affect on me, i was quieter and less fidgety, but i wouldn't say more focussed. It amplified my restless leg syndrome that the anti-anxiety medication was giving me, so i felt very uncomfortable and slightly more anxious than normal. I am going to be changing to a different type at a higher strength, but he's keeping me on this for a meantime. I will definitely request that he changes me at my next appointment, if he doesn't, i will stop taking them myself.
Wednesday i had a really sore throat so i stayed home and didnt have any of my medication. I forgot, to be honest, remembered about 5pm, so had my last dosage and went to sleep.
Today i still felt crappy. I felt quiet and less fidgety again, but now it's almost time for my last dosage, and i'm extremely fidgety and not feeling motivated in the slightest.
I've been started on a 20mg p/day dosage, 1 x 5mg 4 times per day. 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm.
Thankfully i sleep fine on them, unfortunately it's not suppressing my hunger as much as i hoped it would :p
I'm not really getting feelings of hunger, but i am still needing to eat regularly.
I'm going up to 40mg, so 10mg per dose, the Tuesday after next.. That is generally an adult dosage, but if it doesn't give the desired effect, i have approval to go up to 70mg p/day, something tells me that i'll be at the higher end of dosage. That said, i don't like being a zombie, and if it does that to me, i will reduce my dosage, or stop, on the weekends. I enjoy being hyperactive, loud and crazy, but i need to be able to focus at work or when doing things that are important, such as sorting out my life :P
Time will tell, i suppose.
I'm working tonight, really can't be bothered.. where all this excess energy and motivation the doctor told me i'd get? Lame.
