I'm not trying to advocate taking medication in any other way than its prescribed, but don't you find that dex is too much of a hassle when it comes to eating the right food - or even eating at all?
Has anybody had any experience with crushing the pills and using them as a kind of a suppository? It seems to work at a lower dose because you absorb it all through your rectum and it doesnt matter what the pH of your stomach is.

I take Dex and I know you sometimes have to force yourself to eat.

I'd happily stick it anywhere if it would make the stuff work for me!!!
It does help with focus and anxiety but right behind my forhead it seems that part of my brain is dead asleep. Dex doesn't touch this. It did seem to help in the beginning but since I have been on cymbalta for awhile it has not helped this sleepy brain feeling.
but hey! No anxiety! no motivation, no job, no life....... la la la.
