A tablet of dexamphetamine, taken as a stimulant.
Dexy belongs to the years when the drug was handed out for slimming and for shift work, and the word carries that decade with it: students, lorry drivers and the occasional band. The spelling wanders between dexy and dexie, which is normal for a word that lived in speech long before it reached print.
