DXM to control opiate tolerance: do you do it?

I agree, I took DXM for a little bit when nothing else was available and it seemed like a good time then. Now I take 50-100 mg to potentiate opiates and it feels like I'm more sensitive so I can feel pure DXM effects from it (I couldn't before when I took that much to potentiate opiates) and those effects are just uncomfortable - I feel hot, nervous, spaced out, etc. absolutely no good feelings from it. DXM just seems to lose its magic fast.

I swear DXM can help noticeably with kicking. It's not a cure obviously and it does have some annoyig side-effects at higher than therapeutic doses (but far below tripping), but it covers up a lot of opiate withdrawals for me, or at least takes my mind off them.

The only effect DXM has ever had with opiates in my experience is sometimes a small dose of DXM will significantly prolong the opiate (pods) high. Other times it has no effect on the length of the high. It's weird how it isn't consistent. Other than that, it's a useless drug IMO. Tripping on it is desperation to get fucked up...the trip is a confusing, unpleasant, heavy mindfuck and it has a sort of "creepy" feeling to it, while hallucinogens like shrooms are more awe inspiring and euphoric.

I kicked a methadone habit for the first 15 days taking dxm. Helps a lot with the RLS stuff.

Yeah, I find it as a nice cover blankey for WD's and general wanton of opiates.
