Sandy,
I'm so glad it was working for her and I hope it still is but I'm confused on the use of it to be honest as I've read mixed things. Most of what I've read is that the benefit is to increase the effectiveness of opiates so you can take less.
I know my fiancee had me taking it before my ketamine infusions when I was on opiates but I haven't since until I thought I saw something on these boards last night, maybe this post.
It's also somewhat confusing because I was taking the OTC robitussun gels in the past but did just read another article saying you needed to have it compounded at a pharmacy but the robitussin gels are only dextromethorphan.
Please don't take this as my questioning the benefit as I do believe there is some, I'm just trying to figure out what exactly it is and what's the best way to achieve it. I do keep seeing reference to it's help in relieving burning pain (which is what I need right now) but then some scientific papers only discuss it as an adjunct to opiates.
How has Lindsay been with it this past month?

I am telling you that I think they may be onto something here. It is compounded at a pharmacy it cost me $48.00 for 480 mls.
She takes 4mls every 8 hours as needed for pain. The bottle is huge. The script is written like this Dextromethorphan 25mg/5ml syrup.
I am only posting again, because I see something working right now. Hope it is good information for some of you. The script does not have the alcohol like the over the counter and is compounded in a stronger dose.
Soft hugs to all,
Sandy
