That's the theory but several of us tried a lengthy experiment to test this and didn't get very impressive results...
not that's its scientific but I haven't met anyone on here who has tried this over a substantial amount of time while using a lot
and can definitely say "this greatly slowed tolerance acquisition" let alone reversed any.
Interesting.
I've been doing a DXM regimen as well as tonic water/grapefruit juice each morning 45 minutes prior to dosing.
As well as dosing DXM again later in the day.
I've noticed that my meds seem to hit harder & last longer.
As an experiment I tried a day or 2 without the DXM / drink combo.
I had less effects from my meds as well as much worse w/d's the next day.
I've also tried it without the tonic/juice & just the DXM & still noticed enhanced effects as well as the duration increase & less w/d's the next days.
I'd be interested to hear more about your test if you don't mind elaborating.
Though admittedly the liver enzyme inhibition & such could contaminate the results of my experiment I'd still like to get more input.
I'd much prefer to switch from DXM to Memantine for said purposes but at this point I don't have access to Memantine.
On a side note, I've always had problems with minor tremors/shaking.
However, since beginning the NMDA regimen I've noticed a large reduction in the tremors.
Considering that some med's used for Parkinson's & such have NMDA effects this may have something to do with that effect.
Also to clarify I've been using this regimen for between a month & a month & a half.
Also of note, there's a great thread on the subject with a large amount of links to studies backing up the thread's content over in ADD.
NMDA antagonists for tolerance, a collection of the evidence and anecdotal reports
To anyone that visits the thread, please remember that it is in ADD & treat it as such if you choose to post in said thread.
There's already been far to much drama / unnecessary bullshit in ADD lately.
I'd hate to direct people there without politely asking that they read the rules there & post accordingly.
I don't want to be responsible for bringing more useless bullshit to ADD.
Besides that though, I really think it's a great thread & believe that anyone interested in the subject should give it a read.
When I used opioids daily for pain I would have LOVED having built in potentiation that allowed me to lower the dose and mitigated the side effects.
I have no sympathy that you can't as easily get high off something a doctor thinks you really need.
I agree with this statement.
The OP should be able to find out the doses of the other med's in his compounded Oxy but as for complaining about it...
I don't see a need for that.
As Cane stated built in potentiation & mitigation of side effects sounds quite beneficial if anything.
Personally I'm quite curious as to how well these are working out for you.
I'd also like to know how well the built in stool softener works in terms of your bowel movements & constipation alleviation.
Also what stool softener are you referring to in your formulation?
Actually the dxm I don't like cause I take ssri... Not good 2 mix.. I hear oxy alone might increase serotonin with ssri(yes I know supposedly it only hits opiate receptors but idk)
I just noticed as I went to post this that you just posted that you are on a SSRI as well.
So that may be an issue with the DXM.
However, that is something you would want to bring up with your doctor/pharmacist.
Also Cane seems to have posted as well in the meantime.
We experimented with different amounts... we each started at about 2-3x the therapeutic doses 1-3x daily and played around with them from there.
Unfortunately some bitch moderator pruned the thread a year or 2 ago!
When you say 2-3x the therapeutic doses 1-3 times daily would you mind posting the actual mg dosages?
Also I'm assuming that you were using the monohydrated hydrobromide salt of DXM, is this a correct assumption?
I'm greatly saddened to hear the thread was pruned.
Perhaps someone involved in the experiment saved a copy themselves?
If so that would be great, if not I guess it's a sad loss to the community.
Sorry if there's anything I missed in this post but I'm going to go ahead & post it before even more posts come in.
I'm gonna have to try & post faster next time.
But hey it's a long post so perhaps other BL'ers will understand & not hold it against me.
