I'll try to find something useful. There's lots on Medline but like other stuff you found it's aimed at medical professionals. The type of opiate you're using *usually* won't matter that much. The potentiator works on a different kind of receptor, the NMDA receptor, which somehow regulates tolerance to opiates. (Presumably the nerves in question have both opiod receptors and NMDA receptors.) The potentiator is just making your cells more sensitive to whichever opiate you're using. It shouldn't change the qualitative effects of the opiate *too* much, just make them stronger. (This may or may not apply to peripheral effects like constipation, antitussive activity, etc.)
Basically all you do is add some amount of potentiator to whatever you're taking. Dextromethorphan / DXM / Robitussin is the most likely candidate since it's OTC. Depending on where you live you might find it in pills too. You'll have to experiment to find the right dose for you. At a rough guess I've seen a range from 70mg-120mg/day; I'd start at or below 50mg and work my way up. I'd also split it into 3-4 doses per day rather than taking it all at once.
This thread had some good information but is a bit confusing at times: http://www.drugbuyers.com/freeboard/showflat.php?Number=499475 Especially read the parts where they talk about magnesium supplements as a potentiator; basically it's a very good idea to make sure you're getting enough Mg, even if you're using DXM too. One good form they didn't mention is magnesium malate. Whichever kind you use, split the doses and take with meals. Work up to ~400mg/day if you can. (Too much too fast will cause diarrhea.)
I'll try to find more but here's a typical paper: http://opioids.com/morphidex/ They compared morphine with 1:1 morphine+DXM. Basically 80mg/day of DXM let the patients cut their morphine in half.
Not everyone responds to potentiators the same way. You pretty much have to try it and see. When I looked into this last year I saw some indications that the potentiators work better for people who are normally more sensitive to pain. Take that FWIW, not a guarantee.
