holy crap, how is that even possible?! I think my brain and heart would explode on that much dex. I find that above my therapeutic, prescribed dose of dex, I'm not able to concentrate any better. I just get more side effects. So I don't go above my prescribed dose. There just isn't any point. Plus, dex never gets me 'high'. It just makes me functional.
