Re: LDN in the morning

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone:

Okay, I just took my first dose of Naltrexone, very

strange reaction, I feel like I am intoxicated. 1st

started with my heart beating very fast and then some

dizziness, then a complete calmness, feeling very

relaxed right now, I see why this is supposed to be

taken at night, my doctor wanted me taking it for the

first time in the morning to see what the side effects

would be. I just hope I am more alert and settled by

the time I need to leave work this afternoon, I would

appreciate hearing from anyone who has had this

experience.as well as any suggestions?

Thanks,

First, you're supposed to take LDN in the evening between the hours

of 9:00PM and 3:00AM, not in the morning. I take mine at 10:00PM

every night.

Also, how much are you taking? I take 4.5mgs.

What disease/illness are you trying to control?

Seeing your system is apparently so sensitive maybe you should try

starting out slowly; first month 1.5mgs, second month 3.0mgs, third

month 4.5mgs or stay at 3.0mgs if that is better for you.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Apparently her doctor doesn't know what he's talking about. Just because the doctor says it doesn't mean he's right. It's a license to PRACTICE medicine.

LDN, to be effective in stopping progression of disease, needs to be taken between 9 pm and 2 am.... timed to the circadian rhythm and the release of endorphins. mjh

,

The adverse side-effects from LDN, such as slight sleep disturbance

and vivid dreaming, are extremely mild and should subside after a few

days, or a week or two. You may not even experience these things. I

hope you continue with LDN and start realizing the wonderful benefits

it provides. Halting/slowing your MS from progressing is of the

utmost importance so as not to sustain any permanent physical damage

to your nervous system. And please read and study all the fine LDN

websites that are out there. , Crystal, Sammy Jo, Dudley,

Maureen and others know what they're talking about. LDN alone cannot

do the entire job. You must take an active role recovering your

health. We are here to help you the best we can.

If this doctor knew how to administer LDN for multiple sclerosis then

he/she wouldn't have told her to take it in the morning. Many doctors

are not up to speed on the protocol.

Susie

I had almost the exact reaction after my first 4.5. I just think it

was an anxiety attack, too much anticipation.

Started over with 1.5 for 30 days and I'm now on 3.0, 12 days so far.

I'm stiff at first but it diminished after 10 days. I take mine after

10:00.

I don't think you'll be able to lower the dosage via your pharmacy

without a doctors prescription. You could try dissolving a 4.5mg LDN

capsule in 4.5 ml of distilled water, then using a graduated dropper

draw up 3.0mgs, or whatever amount you feel comfortable with, and

administer. Keep the unused solution refrigerated.

My opinion is if you tell the doctor you're having a bad reaction to

LDN he may not write you another prescription for it, then what will

you do? Riding out any minor reaction to LDN is better than having MS.

I'm just thinking out loud. Do what you think is best for you.

hi joyce, built up from 1ml to 4.5ml [now on capsules/much easier]

so fed up with sleep deprevation, professionals just issued sleeping tablet and/or clonazepam but as i take baclofen just felt 'spaced' all the time

so i switched to am very first thing i took when i woke up, perhaps 1 hour before i got up

no side effects and same as taking at night, a bad nights sleep can cancel the benefits of ldn

regards/peter/ms primary progressive

I know you are suppose to take it at night for the immune system. Does anyone take it in the morning? Might that prevent the insomnia that it causes? joyce
