It is paradoxical indeed. There is some research indicating that Dex DECREASES brain activity in brain regions that are irrelevant to the task at hand. This could promote a tunnel focus, but I theorize that it also may exacerbate the ability to switch between brain regions - necessary, perhaps, for multitasking brain work. At work, I have to talk and think at the same time, and with Dex, this seems a lot harder than usual.
Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg, dexamphetamine 5-10mg
As needed: bethanechol 25-50mg, oxazepam 5-10mg, diazepam (Valium) 2.5-5mg
