Take it for 1 month and if she still feels fatigued then drop down to maybe 3.5mg. She needs to start taking the LDN at 9pm or 10pm. No wonder she feels blah, she should be in bed getting plenty of sleep by 11pm. Get her some melatonin at healthfood store. Start melatonin at 3mg or 6mg 30 minutes before she takes her LDN. If she does not get sleepy on the 6mg of melatonin go up to 9mg and on up to 15mg of melatonin if needed. I feel blah the next day if I stay up too late. > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
