Low-dose DXM dependence and LSD

I've been taking low-dose DXM (45-60mg) daily, usually 60, but sometimes 75mg, for about a month to keep dextroamphetamine tolerance in check. I was using the d-amp in prescribed dosages, but now that school is over I've been tapering it, using 7.5-10mg a day instead of the ~20mg/day I was using before. I've also been tapering the DXM, and have switched to 45-60mg of extended release DXM (Delsym) to normalize 5-HT receptors.

My questions:

1.) Is 4-5 weeks of ~45-60mg daily DXM use and 12.5mg tramadol use enough to modify 5-HT receptors enough to feel some sort of cold-turkey type of w/d

2.) How long after the DXM discontinuation would I be able to use LSD?

3.) Can I use 6.25mg tramadol in addition to the 1g of Kratom I normally dose on LSD trips? I have maintained a mild opiate dependence for pain relief, as of now it's 10mg tramadol with 0.6g Kratom, but since my opioid dependence is about a third of what it was during my last major trip, I was thinking about just using 6.25mg tram and 0.5g Kratom. I had a 3.5g/day Kratom habit my last major trip, and taking 1.2g Kratom an hour in made the trip feel very uncomfortable about 8 hours post dose due to opioid w/d that was very magnified by the LSD. It was an unnecessary PITA in an otherwise great trip.

Thanks! :)
 
AFAIK DXM isn't physically addictive nor hard to "withdraw" from and how are you even feeling 40-60mg of dxm ? that's a ridiculously low dose.
 
The DXM was not for recreation or to "feel" anything, it was simply used for its NMDA antagonistic properties of its metabolite, DXO, to control amp tolerance and mediate amp neurotoxicity. Now that school is finished, I am tapering off of both the DXM and d-amp, and plan to take LSD with only Kratom, and maybe a tiny dosage (6.25mg) of tramadol, for opioid maintenance.

DXM is an non-selective SRI, and this thread is basically asking how serotonergic DXM actually is. It is said to not take any SRI's two weeks before rolling or tripping, so will I feel my LSD less with a two day abstinence off of DXM?

60-75mg a day is actually a high dose of DXM used for this purpose, most people use around 30-45mg a day. DXM is very likely physically addictive, as are all SRI's, I was simply asking if 4-5 weeks of 60-75mg DXM daily is enough to mess with your 5-HT receptors enough to dull the LSD trip through 5-HT downregulation and 5-HT receptor upregulation.

Just an update, I've tapered now to 30-45mg of extended release DXM, I will take 30mg er DXM on Tuesday evening, and 15mg on Wed and Thursday.

Will tripping on a moderate dose of LSD without DXM be safe and effective on Friday morning?
 
Ive never heard that dxm should do anything with the 5ht2a tolerance but i don´t claim to know shit either.

I think you are good to go, have a blast.
