Hey all,
It would be awesome to possibly Sticky this but if not I understand. This is partially Harm Reduction, partially my story but very insightful and the plight of a man knocking at death's door just seeking relief.
There are threads I have made in regards to Dextromethorphan, and while the long-acting variant ( Dextromethorphan polistirex )is effective my focus here is going to be on Dextromethorphan HBr (Hydrobromide)
So post-military, life is nearly unbearable. Chronic pain and PTSD are a deadly duo. Through a friend I was recommended DXM. No expectations, no bias.
Day 1:
- Take Oxycodone 10MG at 6AM.
- 8AM Extreme pain. Hot shower, 150MG Lyrica
- 8:30AM - My first dose of 2MG Clonazepam for extreme anxiety at this moment. Second dose of Oxy is also 8:30AM.
- First DXM delivery arrives 10:30AM.
- I take 90MG DXM HBr orally.
- No relief by 12. I double down.
- By 3PM my dose is around 280MG. I am able to actually wait for proper relief. I am mentally stimulated. I take another hot shower. Shocked I've gotten so far with so little.
- 3PM 10MG Oxycodone, final 75MG of Lyrica
- 4PM I take 150MG DXM
- I am encapsulated and mentally awake. My anxiety has melted away and I forget I haven't taken my second dose of Clonazepam
- I manage to wait until 6:30PM for my last 10MG of Oxycodone. Usually this would be gone hours ago. Is this a placebo?
- I take my SSRI (Citalopram 20MG) for rest at 9PM. Entirely skipped my Temazepam AND 4MG Clonazepam
Day 2:
- I wake up and it is 9:30AM. How the hell did I manage to sleep in? It is late enough to get proper morning relief
- 10AM - 20MG Oxycodone orally, 150MG Lyrica and 2MG Clonazepam after hot shower. Thoughts of yesterday's relief are on my mind.
- 11:30AM I take 205MG DXM.
- By 1PM I feel functional!
- 2:30PM my pain sneaks up. You tricky bastard. I know how to manage you after all these years. Another hot shower. This battle will be mine.
- 3PM I get out of the shower and take 10MG Oxycodone. I will get through this.
- 4PM I double down and than some. 280MG DXM orally. Final dose 75MG Pregabalin.
- 6PM mental breakdown. No blinking. Faces are in front of me and I must deal with this head on. Why do we repress such things? I am mentally stimulated and it is all very real. Trauma related hallucinations are getting to me.
- 7PM - I have yet to blink. Staring into the darkness which is me. The constant flow of tears has kept my eyes lubricated. The losses are hard to absorb. I cannot beat this right now. I take 2MG Clonazepam sublingually and my final dose of 10MG Oxycodone, though my pain is faint the mental anguish is there.
- 9:30PM - most of the anguish is gone. I am okay with not being okay. This was a scary breakdown, skeptical about this drug.
- 10:30PM - I take my SSRI (20MG Citalopram) I am asleep before 12 and again have forgotten about Temezpam and my final 2MG Clonazepam!
Day 3:
- I open my eyes at 9:45! How have I slept so well? I never do this. 20MG Oxycodone and an extremely hot shower.
- 10AM - I am starting early but a bit more slowly. 180MG DXM, aside my other medications. 150MG Pregablin, 2MG Clonazepam
- 12PM - my fear of the breakdown has melted and I will be alright. I take 205MG DXM.
- By 4PM time has melted and the neuropathic pain along with it. I am down but up. Mentally stimulated but able to feel the pain to a much lesser degree. Marijuana has been used throughout this process and has much less of an anxiety-producing effext.
- 4PM I take 10MG Oxycodone and another 150MG DXM. I feel amazing.
- By 6PM I realize I have taken more than normal and have visual hallucinations along with auditory issues. Nothing major, just feeling what I assume is referred to as"robotripping"
- I am staring at the art I have created and attained and my mask collection well past 8PM. At some time between my staring and admiring the art and my last dose of DXM I must have taken my final 10MG of Oxy. My pain is amazingly well-controlled. I am okay with not being okay for once.
- 10PM I take my SSRI (20MG Citalopram) and yet again, a day has passed with no Temazepam and only 2 of my 6MG Clonazepam required.
Observations:
- For me, I believe Dextromethorphan to be a miracle drug. It has reduced my tolerance to my Oxycodone and possibly all opiates and opioids in general. I take strictly for pain so can only speak about Oxycodone Hydrochloride and it's effect on this drug.
- Doses vary substantially but 600MG throughout the day seems to be great for pain. Doses under 105MG did help PTSD symptoms but didn't touch my pain
- Somehow, this gives me anxiety relief in a major way. While I did have a breakdown; I was long overdue. It makes you look at your life and while tough, it riddens daily anxieties you allow to build up.
- My pain is not going to go away but this helps manage it and does more than just make it easier to wait for my next dose of opioids. This is a beautiful drug for pain patients and anxiety patients alike.
- Starting with 90MG is ideal for anxiety and slight pain relief
- After 600MG (throughout the day) this drug can truly be experienced
- Single doses of 280MG help in their OWN way. Not just a sidekick to an opioid. Dextromethorphan has aided my pain by itself. I took my last 120MG 2 hours ago and await my next dosage to arrive.
- This drug has taken my last dosage of Oxycodone from 3PM to 7PM. I wake up at 9AM instead of 4-6AM daily.
- It has now been over 7 days and things have only improved while the dose is maintained at or below 1,000MG daily
- Though already scientifically proven, nothing has ever lowered my tolerance to Oxy so I doubted it. It worked. My doses actually help somewhat now.
- I can not say it reduces tolerance to Benzodiazepines but what I can say with confidence is you need MUCH less for true relief throughout the day. From 6MG to 2MG of Clonazepam.
This is my miracle drug.
*** It should not be combined with an SSRI and I am looking into this but in the meantime have moved my Citalopram to nighttime and separate by minimally 2 hours.
God Bless.
