Martha MI too took DEX, I think around the same dosage? It was 8 years ago....I had an amnio, at that time the CVS was very new and not available to me. Anyway I had a very simillar reaction to the DEX, very moody! I threw my purse at my husband. Funny now, at the time I was so mad. I am usally very calm.
I did not get any stretch marks though-
I have two SW CAH boys, I found out at about 20 weeks I was having a boy and started weaning off the DEX.
Both my boys are doing great.
Good luck.
