mrsD maybe it was guaifenesin I saw not the other. Honestly, I copy paste both g words because they're not in my brains dictionary My bad.
I used a 3mL syringe to squirt exactly 2.5mL/7.5mg before sleep last night. Cured? hah no but it tasted good. I'll try it for a week. |

Don't expect to see any significant change after only a week or two of use.
I do not expect, nor have I experienced a cure of my PD from dextromethorphan. I do know that, having taken it faithfully for the past 6-7 years, I am not aware of anyone else who has been diagnosed with PD for 11+ years who has progressed as slowly as I have. Therefore, I'm convinced that the low-dose approach with the drug is providing me some neuroprotection. |

Welcome Ruth!
Did you start your son back on the dextromethorphan? I think it's interesting that he started improving after taking it and only took it for 6 days. Keep us posted on how he is doing. |

Thanks, Not yet but so tempted. Its been a full month now since he had a dose, wow where does the time go. Hes still doing good things but it seems he might be starting to slow down a bit again with not as much energy I guess you`d say. Hard to tell as he`s pretty non verbal. Talks real good in his sleep though. LOL I`ll let you know when I start and what dose I decide on. I`m thinking about even a lower dose or even a once a week dose to see how much he really needs to see improvement and maybe sidestep the low BP problem so I don`t have to add that other pill. I`m still just in awe at times with some of the things he can do that he had such a hard time with or couldn`t do pre-cough syrup. Who would`a guested? We did however use the one that is extended release and his doc said that was fine when I asked her. Still seems to have done something in the great dept.

I know that guaifenesin is used for fibro with some good results although some doctors refute this. Well some doctors refute fibro. I don't know what it does to the fibro whether it is the pain or something else

Evidence for Safety in Antidepressant Use: RESULTS: Ketamine elicited minimal positive psychotic symptoms. Three patients experienced significant but transient dissociative symptoms. Side effects during and after each ketamine infusion were generally mild. The response criterion was met by nine patients after the first infusion as well as after the sixth infusion. The mean (SD) reduction in MADRS scores after the sixth infusion was 85% (12%). Postketamine, eight of nine patients relapsed, on average, 19 days after the sixth infusion (range 6 days-45 days). One patient remained antidepressant-free with minimal depressive symptoms for >3 months. CONCLUSIONS: These pilot findings suggest feasibility of repeated-dose IV ketamine for the acute treatment of TRD. |

Ruth I don't know if you have fibro or not but when my sister first got it I did a lot of reading about the treatment. I believe there is a fibro forum here on Neurotalk and that's where I learned about it.
