Using LDN for fibromyalgia, not sure what pharmacy its from.. questions..

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I started LDN for fibromyalgia last night. Had a lot of trobule

sleeping, shaking and general feeling bad and pain. I am only on

neurontin.

I get my LDN from my fibro doctor in NYC - Dr Enlander. I am not sure

what compunding pharmacy he uses, he sends it to me directly. It cost

approx 23 dollars for 35 capsules with the shipping - 4.5mgs. They are

normal caps with the white powder inside. It doesnt seem compacted or

anything (ie- calcium carbonate). I was wondering if there is anyone

else using this for fibro or cfs and also is it possible to empty the

capsule into a liquid and take it which would assure nothing is

compacted creating slow release?

Also does anyone get up at 5am every morning on this stuff? werid.

Thanks

In the first 3 months on LDN weird symptoms can take place, even a temporary

increase in symptoms can occur while your endorphins are adjusting. Insomnia in

the first stages of LDN treatment is quite common. Try getting you some

melatonin from a healthfood store and try 3mg first and if not enough go to 6mg

and if not enough try 10mg on up to as much as 15mg of melatonin. Take

melatonin 30 minutes before taking your LDN dose. Ask your doctor where he/she

gets you LDN filled and what filler is used. It's always important to know this

information.
