in my research on NMDA receptor antagonist and lowering tolerance i came across Magnesium and a Ayurvedic Herb Ashwagandha which is also good for anxiety and fatigue. the standards for this treatment are DXM or dextromethorphan, Ketamine, memantine (Namenda) which all are potent drugs. has anyone heard anything about natural agents to lower tolerance?

I've done quite a few google searches for agents that lower tolerance and you've listed the ones that appear most often. I presume you've done similar searches.

One more search you might want to try if you haven't yet is using clinicaltrials.gov and enter "opioid tolerance".

i noticed your Verapamil for tachycardia, that might help your pain and lower tolerance but who knows. i have had a increase in pulse and blood pressure since Aug. when my insurance would not pay for generic Opana IR. i was getting 240 a month and that is cheaper than 60 Opana ER 40s. to make a long story short lack of pain control has effected my vitals. Jan 1 is a few days and i will have that Rx in hand. i look foward to less bedboundness.
