Does co-administration of an NMDA receptor antagonist (e.g. Ketamine) work well to prevent the development of tolerance (or hyperalgesia) to opioids (Oxycontin, oxycodone)? If so, do you recommend it?

Yes, co-administration of an NMDA receptor antagonist such as Ketamine has been shown to be effective in preventing the development of tolerance and hyperalgesia to opioids such as Oxycontin and oxycodone. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss the best course of action for your specific situation.
