I have been using Dextromethorphan 60mg Sr/ER for pain management. I was prescribed this medication, which is made in a compounding pharmacy by a doctor in California who is actively involved with the NIH(National Institute of Health.

I heard about this doctor through my brother as I was in the hospital on a dialaudid drip for...
