In reply to diminishing tolerence to opiates, posted by lew on December 17, 2004, at 15:37:40
> does anyone out there know of a good drug to use with opiates, that helps one from building such tolerance? Certainly there is nothing that I'm aware of that would completely prevent tolerence, but someone had posted a drug that was supposed to help and i didn't write it down. Also, maybe a natural remedy from a vitamin cottage? thanks
There are studies in the medical literature on Medline that claim Namenda (memantine), a drug approved to treat Alzheimers, prevents and even reverses tolerance to opiates. I don't know if this is true only of the antinociceptive properties of opiates or if it would also include psychotropic effects.
