30mg daily with an optional booster of 5mg instant release has been the sweet spot for me.
Over the span of like 6 years I started on 30mg, went down to 20mg for a while until a bit of a tolerance kicked in then back up to 30mg, eventually got the 5mg booster which I normally only take a 1/4 of a pill for the actual boost I need without effecting my sleep too much, but even then if I take the booster for a week I’ll certainly start to feel drained, so it’s an option not a requirement for me.
I imagine you’re probably going to be better off feeling a little bit of the randomness associated with you being on the lower dose. The medicine is supposed to help you function a bit more like a regular person, not a robot. Humans have got randomness/noise in their thoughts, we aren’t supposed to be robots.
I’ve had what you’re experiencing but on methylphenidate; it doesn’t really go away until you lower the dose or stop.
Other things that can impact the robot feeling is excessive caffeine before bed, and nicotine usage.
I think if you’re asking this question; you already know that you want to go back down and just need some confirmation that it’s a good idea 👍
The toys that either have balls that get launched into the air, or ones that are small balls trapped in a loop for them to bat back and forth may be the kind of thing you’re looking for, especially if you can ones that allow for small treats or catnip to be placed inside the balls
