Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Hi RK, Dr. Bihari recommends 4.5mg of LDN for all auto-immune diseases. If a person has trouble with that dose he goes down to 3 mg anything lower won't do the job. Hope all is well, Kathy__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Dr. Bihari raised my dose, from 3.0 to 4.5, also.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Thanks a bunch for that info - he should know. Was your dosage raised because you were still having MS attacks ???How does one decide if the dosage is correct?

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Luigi, I wasn't having any MS attacks, I don't know why he raised my dose. He just said that he was putting and raising the dose, for all of his MS patients, to 4.5, and to call him, if I was having a problem with 4.5. Which, thankfully, I haven't! > > > > > > Hello Dave D; > > > > > > I have attached an excerpt from a patent submitted by Dr Bihari. > It > > is long but does explain how naltrexone works and recommends > > > a dosage of 1.5ml to 3 ml. per day.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 , this is news to me, because Dr. Bihari just renewed my LDN prescription for 3 mg. Where did you get the information that he was moving all his MS patients up to 4.5 mg? A phone consultation? I have a phone consult scheduled with him for January 9th and I will ask about this and report back here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I take 3.0, I tried 4.5 twice, after 300 days of 3.0 I tried 4.5 for 38 and then went back. Tried 4.5 again a few months later and after 12 dropped back to 3.0 Never tried 4.5 again. http://www.larrygc.com/mystory [low dose naltrexone] Re: LDN dose Dr. Bihari raised my dose, from 3.0 to 4.5, also.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 , Dr. Bihari told me that, after I had been on 3.0, for a little over a year, and he renewed my prescription to 4.5. Ask him, maybe he will tell you why. > > , this is news to me, because Dr. Bihari just renewed my LDN > prescription for 3 mg.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 what does a phone consultation cost with him?

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I think that he would like everyone to try to be on 4.5mg if they seem to be doing well on it. He definitely does not have a problem with people taking 3.0mg if that is what works for them.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 ; I too would like to know why a person would switch from 3mg/day to 4.5mg/day. In his 1991 patent Dr. Bihari recommends 1.5mg/day to 3mg/day as optimol dosage. Are we missing something here? 4.5mg/day seems to be popular with doctors but I haven't found out why. I will watch this site after Jan 9th. Merry Christmas!! Luigi [low dose naltrexone] Re: LDN dose , I have a list of question for him and yours is on it.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Luigi, when I first began taking LDN three years ago, Dr. Bihari told me that about 75% of his patients tolerated 4.5 mg very well, which is why he prescribed it to me. (I ended up on 3 after a few days, because of intolerable stiffness.) Merry Christmas to you too. > > ; > > I too would like to know why a person would switch from 3mg/day to 4.5mg/day.

Merry Christmas!! > Luigi > =========== Dr. Bihari has upped that dosage since that patent. As more research has been done by Bihari, he has found that the optimal dose for an adult is 4.5mg and he has also found that doses below 3.0mg will not halt MS disease progression. This is what I gained from Dr. Bihari via a phone consultation in 2004. Smaller doses less than 3.0mg may work for some diseases but not MS.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 BRENDA - GOOD WARNING!! ldn would be blamed for the effects of the overdose. from what i understand those higher doses are for alcohol and drug addicts; in fact, higher than that!! marshirisStart the year off right.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Yes Dudley, This is exactly my understanding as well Aletha Re: [low dose naltrexone] ldn dose Hi Don,Some people believe that doses of LDN higher than 4.5 are alright for short periods when treating a flare-up of symptoms. When taken on a long-term basis, however, I believe they will be counterproductive.Best regards,Dudley Delany dudley_delany From: don kirkSent: Friday, January 11, 2008 6:54 AMlow dose naltrexone Subject: [low dose naltrexone] ldn dose HI ALL,I HAVE TO GO TO THE DR.TODAY TO RENEW MY SCRIPT FOR THE LDN.I TOOK 2 DOSES OF 4.5 BY MISTAKE AND THE NEXT DAY FELT GREAT.THEN LAST NIGHT I TOOK 2 DOSES OF LDN [2 PILLS 4.5 MG'S] ON PURPOSE JUST TO SEE IF IT WAS MIND OVER MATTER.THIS AM WOKE UP FEELING GREAT AGAIN.DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS HAPPEN AND WHAT MG'S SHOULD I HAVE DR WRITE I WAS THINKING 2 DIFFERENT SCRIPTS 1 FOR 4.5 AND 1 FOR 2.5.ANYBODY CAN GIVE ME ADVICE?
