Re: VERY cool way to know if LDN works (liquid @ least) ...

That is probably why if i do wake up during the course of the night, it is always at 3:00ish. your story is very interesting. i also wanted to bring up how many of us have noticed our hair and nails growing faster on LDN and some have even lost weight. do you think this is speeding up our metabolism in some way or is there something else physiologically going on here? could it be stimulating human growth hormone or could the increase endorphin production turn back the biological clock in some way?

[low dose naltrexone] VERY cool way to know if LDN works (liquid @ least) ...

This is so cool. So i switched from cap to liquid and i said before that i experienced a slight high like feeling, or werid head buzz. So i expanded on this the other day and have read enough literature to understand that at 9PM is when dark hits and we sleep, and when the bodies opiate receptors tell the hypothalamus how much endorphins it needs. Like Dr Bihari said, by blocking the mu receptors we trick the body into producing more, between 9pm and 3am is exactly when the body communicates this which is confirmed in stuides on pubmed.comAnyways, what i did, was i took my LDN at 8:30PM assuming it takes 1/2 hour for full binding potential, and also that LDN should wear off before 3am, this is important to my experiement.I stayed up until 3:30 on purpose because the body releases all the endorphins in a huge "outflow" at approx 3am. I had felt the same from 8:30PM to 2:42AM. At EXACTLY 2:43AM i had an overwhelming "rush" of euphoria though it could also be described as sleepiness or dizziness. It was very similar to taking a painkiller such as Vicodin, for the first time assuming you felt good from it.It was very intense, and very noticeable from one "mood" to another between a minutes time.This rush of endorphins lasted approxed until 3:30, so 45min. It peaked at approx 3:15 for me. I wrote this all down last night.Since I have never in my life experienced such an almost euphoric rush on endorphins at this time, i can assume that my body produced a much increased amount of endorphins from the low dose naltrexone!So that is my story on a fun and interesting way to know if your LDN is truly working.Just make sure its dark, you can set your alart too for like 2:30AM if you want to try that way. I rec. taking at 8:30PM to ensure it wears off by 2:45 to feel this incredible feeling. Also the time may vary with people keep this in mind.JL
