Yes, with the exception of silymarin for my liver, I stopped everything. Getting the dosing right is a real challenge because of my metabolic rate and I needed as few variables as possible. Having said that, however, today I am skipping the DXM to give my system a chance to clear it out. I have been having some bloating that concerns me. Nothing that I have read indicates that hepatic concerns come with DXM, but we "slow" metabolizers worry. In lieu of the DXM, I am taking a ginger capsule which at least one study indicates falls in the same family of NMDA antagonists. Sorry to complicate things, but if a "slow" guy like me can get a handle on this then it should be easy for normal folk.

In general, I still consider the DXM to be a big success. The metabolic problem is a real pain in the butt with the gradual "OD" effect being so hard to anticipate. I am thinking about going even lower on the dosing to maintain a constant level with a weekly "flushing" day to reset the system. One wants a happy liver to take that approach, however.

The important thing, to me, is the realization of the potential of these NMDA antagonists. DXM and ecstasy clearly improve symptoms. Theanine and ginger should, but the jury is still out. Another exists called mematine. I'm sure there are others, but the research hasn't been done.
