Tolerance question

I read most people OD on the rebound since they can no longer handle the dose they used to take because the tolorance has droped.

Once I taper to 0 over 2-3 week God forbid I do relapse where will my body be on a tolorance level? I would not want to die or end up in hospital.

Also does a long term addict build up tolorance aqain quicker then a first time abuser might.

Has anyone used Dexthromethorphan to help them quit?

to say the brain never 4gets tolerance is misleading and potentially lethal.i am down to a third of my dose of mdone 55mgs down from 155mgs and i know if i were 2 take 155mgs 2day i wuld b wasted.please b careful.i know plenty of people who after dtoxing thought they wuld hav 1 more go of their old usual dose and nearly died.shht ive done it myself.if u do relapse take it easy and take the bare minimum
