The polistirex is a slow release formulation, so you arent going to feel it as much. The product with guaifenesin shouldn't be taken for extended periods of time because it can be hard on the kidneys. Id get a pure DXM formulation if you plan on using it for an extended period of time.
Thank you so much. I'm gonna return the other one. I have 180 capsules on the way 15MG pure DXM. You are the man! So if I take the long acting one, along with the regular DXM, the effects will build up through the day? Thanks again
Yes it will continue to build up. Who knows, maybe the polistirex would be better for your purpose since you are taking it at lower doses for pain rather than for a psychedelic experience.
Do you find the DXM helps with your pain?
DXM and other NMDA-antagonists definitely helps with "deep pain" (ie pain stemming from nerve damage or neuropathic pain).
The following is an interesting description of its uses (and dosing) for pain, particularly in combination with opioids. You'll notice it specifically discusses its efficacy when combined with oxycodone:

Yeah i figured it would work for your purposes. Getting more medicine would be better given the potential side-effects of DXM, but if thats not possible this will help. Its going to be more effective than black seed oil, but again, it is going to have more side-effects and drug interactions. You should not combine high doses of DXM with antidepressants due to potential serotonergic toxicity. If you are taking any antidepressants and 1) you really find the DXM to help control pain, 2) you are unable to obtain more pain medicine and must resort to DXM and 3) don't suffer from particularly severe depression or, your depression stems from your pain, then you might consider discontinuing the antidepressant in a gradual fashion. Daily dosing hundreds of milligrams of DXM while taking antidepressants is a bad idea. The risk of serotonergic toxicity from these sorts of combinations rises with age and kidney or liver insufficiencies, but can certainly occur in a healthy individual if you push the dose.
Yes potentially. Thats a fair amount of DXM. I have to advise against substantial doses of DXM while on antidepressants. Its impossible for me to say whether or not you'll get away with that combo, but i have to advise against it.
