These drugs are okay to use with LDN but are you needing them? If not, don't

start back on them. The more drugs with side-effects we can keep out of our

systems the better. If you feel you need them then start back but maybe in

lower doses to see if you need as much as you did before LDN. For sleep, get

you some melatonin at the healthfood store. Start at 3mg and if that's not

enough try 6mg and if not enough try up to 10mg and up to 15mg if needed. Take

melatonin 30 minutes before you take your LDN dose. After being on melatonin for

4 months try going without the melatonin and see if your sleep is regulated, if

not, start back on the melatonin.

I am very interested in how long you've been on LDN, what dosage are you taking

of LDN and have you noticed any difference in your Lupus? I have a friend that

I am desperately trying to get to try LDN who has Lupus. Keep us updated.

Thank you , I just started the LDN at 4.5 crushing the 50mg

hard pill and splitting it up to measure with a pony bead.

I will taper off the klonapin as I am only on a half dose now, and

will also taper off the Lexapro, I am on 20mg of it now. I am going

to see if my dr will give a different antidepressant. The only

thing I have noticed so far with the LDN is a weird taste in my

mouth after I take it. But not bothersome. The pharmacist that

filled it is also a luppie and is planning on using it as she said

others she knows with lupis have done well. She should have a good

idea as she fills their meds. I am excited that this has potential

to help keep my quality of life from getting any worse. I have made

strict diet changes and take glyconutrients, my homemade version,

much cheaper. I have great luck with the glycos so far, as long as

I drink it first thing when I get up. It gives me a more normal

feeling and helps with my energy levels as well as at my last dr

apt, for the first time in four years I had no blood or protein in

my urin, so something must be working. I also gave up dairy. And

sugar! It is allot of work to get healthy, but it will be worth it.

Thank you for your help. And yes I will let you know of my progress.

Sincerely,

=========

Experiment with both the pony bead and the liquid LDN. If you do not have the

instructions on how to mix the liquid LDN from a 50mg Naltrexone tablet let me

know and I will post them for you. Some find they get better results from the

liquid LDN instead of the pony bead method.
