My doctor in SLT, UT gave me LDN

[Guest guest]

I had an appointment last week and told my neurologist, Evan Black I

had stopped taking Copaxone. My MRI

(http:\\kennardfamily.org\brain\MyBrain.html) showed

increased 'innumerable' lesions from last year and I hated poking

myself for $40/day (even if it only cost me $4.00/day). I explained

some of what I learned about LDN and acknowledged it has no long term,

placebo controlled studies for MS, but told him I wanted a script for

naltrexone at 4.5 mg. He had never prescribed it before but I assured

him that 2 local pharmacies will compound it, he agreed and gave me

the script. (I was taking the responsibility for the choice.)

Thank you to whoever compiled the LDN doctor's folder and shared your

experience about talking with the doc. This helped a great deal.

When I went to get the script filled, they used lactose as a filler. I

told them I could get it online for $17 or $18, shipped, and they gave

it to me for $17.33 with tax for a 30 day supply. Although my

insurance will not pay for compounded drugs, I am still saving a mint.

I asked the pharmacist about the liquid method with self preparation,

and he only said he was not sure of the stability of the drug. Can

someone knowledgable comment on that? Thanks.

After one day, I am very pleased with LDN.
