Guest guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Can you please explain how you think this does the same thing as LDN? I’ve just googled it and can’t see the ‘connection’. Many thanks.

Please forgive if this is a repeat but I can't figure out how to check old posts out right now.I just read something about dextromethorphan being a possible substitute for LDN as it does the same type of thing (and it's cheap and needs no prescription!). This is especially for those who can't get their dr. to prescribe it (I may be one of those, don't know yet).Does anyone have any information on this or know if it's effective (for PD)?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hi, I can tell you from my personal experience, that destromethorphan is the best anti-cough medication I've ever used. I had a perpetual cough from 'whatever-is-going-around', contracted twice, and was desperate to find something to stop the cough. I did many things, five to be exact, before I cured my cough, but once in awhile would begin to cough and could not stop. I accidentally found Triaminic's Children's Thin Strip, for cough only, 5.5 mg. It would stop my cough immediately. How long do you think the 'bazzards' left this on the market? I have one box on hand, just in case, but it is no longer needed or I would be out of luck. Dextromethorphan can still be found in other forms but it gags me to take syrup and besides, how can you take a bottle with you at all times? The thin strips were smaller than a credit card and so convenient to carry. Otherwise, I can't testify to anything else.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Nothing I read about it would indicate it as a possible LDN substitute either. Where did you read this?JaxiOn Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 4:11 PM, <liv4him@...> wrote: Please forgive if this is a repeat but I can't figure out how to check old posts out right now.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I was just asking because I'm not sure our neurologist will prescribe the LDN for my husband, so since I came across it in researching as a possible substitute for LDN, I thought I'd ask if anyone here had any experience with it. I've since seen that the dextromethorphan is very addictive, though. :-( Re: [low dose naltrexone] dextromethorphan? Â I heard that guanefisen (sp) that is found in some cough medicines can help tremendously with fibro. I remember when I had a cold and cough, I took some Robitussin that contained guanefisen, and I felt less muscle pain. Â I am not sure why you take or want to take LDN, but this is just my 2 cents regarding this. Â I hope this helps you out. feel better.... Â My best regards, Â Nanci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
