Not exactly, but it does bind to the opioid receptors in the brain. Therefore if you are like me, and you're taking a massive amount of opiate's. Dextromethorphan tricks the brain into thinking there is the usual amount of opiate's there when you're actually putting a lower amount (1/2-5/8 normal dose) of opiate's in your system.

Noop.

Amphetamines are stimulants. Opiates tend to cause sedation. Morphine, Codeine, Heroin, etc...., are opiates.

Can you mix guaifenesin and dextromethorphan?

If you buy anything with "DM" in the name, it probably already had Dextromethorphan in it. So yes, Guafenesin can be taken with Dextromethorphan but taking too much Dextromethorphan can cause a few undesirable side effects. It's unlikely that you'll be able to buy Dextromethorphan by itself anyway, it will likely come with Acetametaphin and Phenylephrine or Guafenesin.
