Hi Christine,

I took Dex for a short time also until it was confirmed that I too had a boy. I ’m not sure how you would wean off of the dex but I would highly recommend it. I had terrible migraines, moodiness, weight  gain and anxiety from the dex. Stopping cold turkey I think caused those side effects and they lasted for a few months after I stopped. I talk to Ann at Cornell (She is no longer there) and she said that from a non scientific poll they did, most women did have side effects and some said they continued for a few months after. I asked my doctor if I could wean off and they insisted that it was not necessary but hind sight being 50-50 I would definitely push for weaning off the dex. I would ask the doctor not if you can wean off of the dex but how to wean off of the dex.

Good luck,

Sandra
