In reply to diminishing tolerence to opiates, posted by lew on December 17, 2004, at 15:37:40
> does anyone out there know of a good drug to use with opiates, that helps one from building such tolerance? Certainly there is nothing that I'm aware of that would completely prevent tolerence, but someone had posted a drug that was supposed to help and i didn't write it down. Also, maybe a natural remedy from a vitamin cottage? thanks
Lew-
My psychiatrist just started me on a trial of an opiate for my treatment resistnat depression. I took in a bunch of studies I found and he was open to the idea - but after he had done some research himself. Long story short, I started Oxycontin 10mg yesterday and hope that it works out. I am worried about tolerance and have done reasearch and found that dextromethorphan (an over the counter cough suppressant) has shown to reduce and even reverse opiate tolerance. I plan to investigate it more.
