Thanks, Mimi! I am so glad it is working well for you. Are you on any other meds? I feel like the Dex is making the irritability worse, but the Buspar seems to make me tired, so I take the Dex for energy, but it is probably not the best combo. I think I may start lower on the Buspar for awhile since I am quite med-sensitive.
Thanks again!
