Okey, I have been playing with DXM lately and have written about it on OD mainly because of its abilities for tolerance prevention.
I have written to OD how I reduced my clonazepam dose rapidly from 1,5mg to 0,25mg in about two weeks and my sleep was good all that time etc. Then I stopped DXM and started doing other things few weeks. Ex. Tramadol, aniracetam, noopept, DMAE, vinpocetine. Lysine also and it is definately good for benzo withdrawal (thanx Swimmingdancer for advice). It has very sedative effect with benzos and allmost it works like benzo itself.
I used tramadol now about three weeks and I've been using on/off to tramadol different time periods (few days to many months) allmost three years. Usually, when I'v stopped tramadol cold turkey after three weeks from 300-400mg/day dose I've had withdrawals (I might have developed some baseline tolerance after three years use) nasty enough. Usually been at least week very fatiqued, depressed, cold/hot, bedridden like sick and not definately motivated to do anything.
Now the day after I had stopped tramadol I took all day DXM. About 500mg. No withdrawals. Second day I took about 600mg. No withdrawals. Infact, I walked two hours that day. Never happened before in second day of withdrawals. Now it is third day and withdrawals are usually been worst on a second or thirth day after stopping. Now I have allmost none. That's amazing.
What is very interesting also, is that during those two or three weeks period my benzo dose was that 0,5mg but toward end it started to feel more and more it wasn't enough and I had to use more Lysine (up to 4,5g/day) to prevent upping that clonazepam. Now I'm not sure if that's because of noopept/aniracetam acting against benzos or maybe vinpocetine or DMAE. What is difficult for me to believe is that this urge to increase benzo dose was due to serotonin deficiency because tramadol causes nice release in serotonin (at least I suppose so). The second day of DXM use I just felt that 0,5mg clonazepam was too much and I dropped it to 0,25mg and slept very restful night of 8 hours! No withdrawals today from either clonazepam or tramadol and I haven't even take DXM today!
So my plan for now on is might be this:
Using DXM and replasing clonazepam with L-Lysine (as fast as possible with DXM use). I like experimentals.
