Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Louise, 4.5 is the ideal dose recommended, it will not make MS worse. If one ( Man or Woman) can tolerate 4.5mgs without major stiffness, that is what they should take to halt progression. Again I will repeat for others, LDN is to halt progression, any improvement is a perk. Relapsing Remitting MS sees the most perks because their symptoms come when they relapse and then go away. LDN stops the relapses so they seem to have major improvements whereas the Progressives remain stable with no new symptoms . Kiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yes on the 3.0 comment, but no on the 4.5 comment. Just seems that many men like the results of 3.0 but not 4.5, some are fine on 4.5 [low dose naltrexone] LDN at 4.5 for men My husband was recently diagnosed with PPMS and even though he's been on LDN for almost 3 months he's not getting any better. His walking and gait is getting a little worse. Someone has suggested that some men should only be on 3 mg and that 4.5 can make the progression worse. Does anyone know if this is accurate? Please let me know if you have read this anywhere.Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi Louise, My husband started on 4.5 and had new areas of numbness and tingling. We lowered the does to 3.0 and it never got any worse, just better. Is he also taking supplements and is he on a special diet. I can send you all of my information regarding LDN, and what my husband has been doing and taking. Just let me know.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 , that is incorrect. LDN dosage is not based on weight. That is a fact, not an opinion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiki Louise, please be advised on the correct dosage by Dr. Bihari or another well informed doctor. It is my understanding, from Dr. Bihari that LDN dosage is based on weight.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Hi Louise, My husband started on 4.5 and quickly lowered it to 3.0mg because he was feeling new areas of numbness and tingling. Things were so much better after he went down to 3.0. It is true that women generally do best on 4.5mg and men on 3.0mg, however everyone is unique and should land where they feel best. It defiantly does not have a relationship to weight, and we think that has to do with hormones but are not entirely sure about that.

It is my understanding, from Dr. > Bihari that LDN dosage is based on weight. ============ The only time Bihari suggests LDN be less than 4.5mg with weight issue is if one weighs around 95 to 90 pounds then he suggests a lower dose for those people.
