In some people yes. It depends on the dosage for each individual person. In

some people 3.0mg does just fine and in some 3.0mg is not enough.

Some have found they can tolerate 4.5mg by alternating it and 3.0mg. They take

3.0mg every other day and 4.5mg every other day. You might try this.

I am also seeing many who panic and think their disease is worsening on LDN

while they are under stress or have an infection because their symptoms worsen

again. Old symptoms will be aggrevated while on LDN if one is stressed,

over-taxed, have the flu, cold, allergy, stomach virus, bladder infection or

other infections and fever.

My compounding pharmacist told me that the best does is between 1.5 mg and 4.5 mg.

He said if you take less than 1.5 mg it is not enought for the system but also if you take more than 4.5 mg it will not work for the way we want it to. I am taking 3.0mg myself.

I don't know if this helps you but that is what I was told.

best wishes,
