Dexy

Jake popped a dexy into his mouth, chewed it like a peanut, then offered the prescription bottle to Harry, who declined.

You could be bone tired, out on your feet, and a “dexy” would snap you out of your lethargy in minutes, fill you with pep and energy. It seemed like everyone in Hollywood was on dexys.

During the last month before finals, I started popping more dexies than before. They seemed to give me the energy I needed to get through classes and homework.

“Whatchu got, man?” “Reds, bennies, dexies, yellow jackets, demmies.” “Yeah, demmies're good shit, man. I pay you. Fuck. I got money. I'm hurting inside. Got beat up. Where my money?”
