Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 If you take LDN before 9pm it doesn't work at halting your disease progression. LDN only stays in your system for about 5 hours and the LDN needs to be in your system between 2am and 4am for it to work. Get a sleep aid like melatonin from healthfood store or an over-the-counter sleep aid and after 3 to 4 weeks on LDN try going without the sleep aid and see if you've gotten use to it yet. If not go a bit longer with the sleep aid. Check warning labels on any sleep aid and make sure it doesn't interfere with any of your other meds.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi , Darn it all I was gonna say that by taking the ldn at 7pm I feel more rested and actually dare I say better? Not one to jump too fast I was going to wait a few days before I mentioned anything. I don't understand why its crucial that the ldn be taken between 9pm and 3am. What happens within our bodies between 2am and 4am? If you take the ldn prior to 7pm does that mean it won't halt progression but may ease symptoms? I keep seeing the magic hours between 9pm and 3am but have yet to read the reasoning behind it. I would really like to learn though if someone could explain it. A friend of mine with ms, has said the ldn has given her life back. Initually she took it at night but couldn't sleep. Her doctor told her to take it during the day. It's working great for her. It's really weird! I tried taking an ativan to help me sleep and no go. A couple of nights ago I took a sleeping pill. It's a script I've had from way back. It didn't work like it use to. Its almost like the ldn won't let my body sleep until a certain time. That being said, does that mean, that we are all different in that the ldn would not work at the exact same time for everyone? I would really like to learn more about this drug. I have read the ldn website and others but they don't give the mechanics of the drug.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 LDN taken off the schedule of 9pm to 3am can help symptoms but will not halt progression. This iswhy Bihari is so insistent on the time frame. Normal endorphins have their most production during the hours of 2am to 4am and LDN needs to be in your system during those peak endorphin hours to get the proper endorphin spike to halt disease progression. Try taking 6mg or 9mg or as much as 15mg or 18mg of Melatonin 30 minutes to an hour before you take your LDN. Start with 6mg and if not enough go up to 9mg the next night and up until you get a sleep connect. If you are on blood pressure meds at night do not take melatonin. Check drug interactions for melatonin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi , Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate it! I can see from the site that you are one busy lady! I thank you for that. Not many would run a site of this magnitude. I have been researching endorphins but this ms brain doesn't absorb what it used to. I wonder what exercise, chocolate plus the ldn would do together. *grin* I will take tonights dose at 9pm.
