I can obsess too, i tried Dex at ~20mgs daily and found it more sedating than Xanax, indeed the first times i tried 1, 5mg tab i fell asleep deeply for a couple hours and it felt like i had slept for 8, other times it would make me lazy and content to lay on my bed, i have also thought, had Docs think i was manic so i can definately see how it could be neurally stabilising to an overactive brain.
