To ,

I can’t help with you first question

but I started my intake of LDN on August 1st at 4.5 mg. The first

couple of nights I woke up at 3:00 or 4:00 AM but have had no problem since.

Questions for getting started

Hi,

I'm happy to say I finally got my LDN prescription

after several

attempts. I will be faxing it to Skips tomorrow.

For those of you who

are experienced at this I'd appreciate your input.

Here are my

questions:

First, Do some people make liquid LDN from the

capsules/tablets that I

will get from Skips? Or is the liquid LDN issue

just for the Revia

50mg users?

Second, what is now thought to be the best dosage

to start at? I've

read people doing many different things. I

understand that I'm aiming

for 4.5mg ultimately. How long would I take to

build up to this? I

will be getting my LDN in the form of 1.5mg

tablets/capsules.

Thanks for any advice.

When I first got my diagnosis I ordered 100 1.5 tablets...that way I could experiment with the dose...1,2 or 3 tablets.... I finally settled on 3 mg. Your body will let you know what is best. I felt so stiff on 4.5, I knew it wasn't for me....Last month I started dumping my capsules into water and drinking them...and just recently started the revia in water.....

Hi ,

Congratulations! My husband started on 4.5mg a year ago in June and never had any trouble. He gets his from Skips too and just swallows the capsule every night around 11:00, bedtime. He has not had another exacerbation since starting and has better balance, energy, and doesn't have to get up so much at night to go to the bathroom. He is also doing the Best Bet Diet, which I believe has helped too.

If you're a little hesitant take one the first night, two the second night and if that goes well, take three the third night. If you find yourself getting stiff or sleepless back off to two until you get used to it and try again. It won't hurt you and it's wonderful stuff!

Best wishes!

Lori,

What differences did you noticed when you put your capsules into water? Did you notice anything different?

Hi Tierra,

It sounds like our husbands have had similar successes with LDN. however had to back down to 3.0 from 4.5 due to increased tingling and numbness. Otherwise he had no side effects. He also is on a similar diet. I think you are right, that it has been very complimentary to the LDN and has been helpful.

Hi Aletha,

I felt just an overall wellness.... hard to describe.... I think anything that is liquid and can go right to our system is always a good choice. A lot of it seems to be how I feel emotionally...

I have been feeling better little by little with my nutritional changes, emotional health, personal boundaries....

I'm also allowing myself to rest guilt free.

HI ,

Stared capsules 4mg in Jan. Had poor sleep for a week and woke up 3 or

4 every night completely awake. When that passed I started sleeping

better than I have for years.Kim
