Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 , I had trouble with sleep for 2-3 weeks after starting ldn, but now sleep better than pre-ldn. hope this encourages you. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I also experienced disturbed sleep,in fact still am,altho it is improving. But it is possible to reduce the dose if necessary. Just purchase clear empty capsules and visually halve the amount. Fiddly but not too difficult. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hi , Be careful about decreasing the dosage from your capsule. I understand that the LDN is very small and may not be evenly distributed within the capsule itself. Someone have earlier suggested putting it in liquid, shaking it up to dissolve and then portioning it out. That may be an option, but keep in mind that some people find LDN stronger in their systems when it is in liquid form. I think it is because it goes into your system faster. This can also be a good thing for some people as far as symptom relief. It depends on your body. The biggest thing with LDN is that everybody is different and you never know for sure how you are personally going to react to small changes with LDN. Personally I would stay on 3mg for a while (if it is bearable) and see if it works it's way through.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 your body is 'waking up' and starting to act normal. I don't know how the sleeping affects us all so differently. From Day 1 my spouse told me I sleep more peacefully. I don't have a normal sleep pattern though, since I work 12-8am. But once I'm asleep, nothing much disturbs me.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 It is not unusual to have problems sleeping at first. My experience is that the body needs some time to get used to the LDN. I took LDN for a few days (I'm not ill, but was just curious how I would feel) and couldn't sleep anymore. My boyfriend did sleep but had very disturbing dreems and was talking in his sleep all night. This faded after about a week and now he has no problems sleeping anymore. He uses LDN for MS. I would advise you to stick to 3mg for at least a week. You can also take some melatonine at night to help you sleep. If the problem doesn't fade you can open the capsule and take half of it dissolved in water, until your body is used to it. Good luck and take care, Carolina > > > Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with sleeping when they started the ldn?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Not sure where to get capsules. I am in the country. Prbably easier to open one, pour have in mouth and save the rest.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hi Aletha, Thanks for the warning. I don't like to tamper with things. I will stay at the 3mg as long as I can. What about taking it during the day? Take Care > > Hi , > > Be careful about decreasing the dosage from your capsule.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hi Carolina, Thanks so much for the tip. I took half a sleeping pill last night and while I did get to sleep it didn't hit me like it normally does. I don't like taking things to sleep. It just puts me in a vicious circle.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Hi , I've been on LDN for just over 2 months now and still have difficulties with sleeping. I fall asleep OK but tend to wake up every night around 3 - 4 a.m. and sometimes can't fall back asleep. Someone had suggested to make sure you take it at exactly the same time every night and this would help with sleeping. Unfortunately I don't always take it at exactly the same time....I tend to take it anywhere between 9 - 12. Maybe consistancy would help you. Good luck, > > > > > > > > > Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has had a problem with > > sleeping when they started the ldn?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi , Thanks for replying. I hope the sleep problem does not go on as long as it has with you. I don't think I can function in a dazed stupor. Fatigue really messes up my ms. I have been taking mine every night at 9pm. Tonight I tried taking it at 7pm. I am like you in that I seem to toss and turn then by 12pm finally fall asleep. Same time each night. It's weird. I wish you luck also! Hopefully soon you will start to sleep better!

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi Lesley, I don't think the LDN will work the same way by taking it at 7pm.
