The lower dosage might be because women and men have very different bodies.

I think hormones may be the reason.

I was under the impression that you cannot mix vicodin with LDN. I read it in Dr. Bihari and Dr. Lawrences papers. Have some people been able to tolerate it or what is the situation with this? It tells on the label of a painpill not to mix with naltrexone. Kathy

Trial and error thing. Have your dad gradually work up to 4.5mg. Dr. Bihari likes if at all possible for cancer patients to be taking the stronger dose of 4.5mg. He wanted my mom on no less than 4.5mg for her breast cancer.
