Scroll down to Revia, you can buy it by the pill.

Cheaper but you have to buy the whole amount.

Good luck!

Try calling Skip and Skips Pharmacy in Florida. Ask him if he has numbers

of doctors in your area that prescribe LDN. Also maybe a general doctor

might be best as maybe they would be the cheapest, easiest to talk to and

take your insurance (if you have insurance).

Keep us posted

All judgements about using Revia aside, has anyone actually sucessfully

ordered from either of these places? If so which one and were you

satisfied? Akiba?

Thanks

Hi Sara, zammead_2000 and All Else,

If you go to:

http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/index.html

(which, it seems to me, is the best starting place for finding

information re LDN)

and scroll down to the bottom of the page, you'll find a listing of

several compounding pharmacies here in the US that have been

recommended by others using LDN.

I only made one call. These folks will tailor the LDN any way you

like, use any filler you want and can create caps from 1.5 up to 4.5.

Pharmacy Phone Fax

Irmat Pharmacy, New York, NY (212) 685-0500

(800) 975-2809 (212) 532-6596

I've called them twice this week (6/23/06) and they are charging

$38.00 for a month's supply of 4.5, including shipping. Lower dosages

are a few bucks less, but I can't remember the exact prices.

They also have an 800 number, and will accept RXs from anywhere.

I find myself very surprised that a lot of folks here are using LDN

and are not aware of that site. It contains info that I've seen

written about here that seems very confused - and in some instances -

wrong.

I've only known about LDN since last weekend and have been doing

nothing else but read about it. That site was the first to come up

when I googled LDN and after I devoured that site, I just continued

clicking on the links there and I now have a Bookmark Manager (I use

FireFox) Folder containing more than 100 websites, all devoted to LDN.

I am not taking LDN yet, but I am going to. I have RRMS and just

coincidently have an appointment with my neuro next week at which I am

going to ask her to RX me a script for DNL.

If she says no, I will leave her with a 'doctor's kit' which is

described at the LDN site (what to bring to the doctor). I also

received an email from Crystal with the names/phone numbers of doctors

in my state who have a history of RXing LDN scripts to others. I

called one of them and today made an appointment for 7/12.

I am at a complete loss trying to understand how or why anybody would

buy LDN out of the country and pay such high prices. How do you know

what you're getting? And, why are the prices so high? Is it because

prescriptions cannot be obtained?

Crystal may be reached here:

crystalangel6771@...

She also maintains a website with tons of info.

If I'm mis-reading and mis-understanding something here, please

correct me. I've been lurking for almost this entire week trying to

get a feel for things here and I truly feel that there is a positive

attitude present, but lots of confusion about dosages and costs and

avialability.

I appologize if I've gotten things wrong - which is a trait of mine

thanks to one of the many gifts I've gotten from the damned MS.

Warmly,

Dan Wulfe

Most of us oldies here already know about the other compounding

pharmacies and get our LDN from them with a doctors prescription, but

we appreciate the advice anyway. Those who can't get a prescription

opt to purchase Naltrexone in the form of Revia 50mg tablets and whip

up a batch of homemade LDN. The recipe is available upon request.

Revia used to be sold by MedsMex, a drug company in Mexico, but their

supply has mysteriously dried up with no apparent plans to restock.

Good luck with your LDN experience!

I think you're a little misinformed. Thats great that you found the site, and all the information, but you have to understand that when most folks get their LDN from out of the country, they're talking about 50mg naltrexone tablets, from which they make their own LDN from. You can generally buy 20-30 tablets for around 100 bucks, from which you can get about a years worth or more of LDN. If you do the math, you'll see that it costs substancially less to make your own. Factor in that some of us dont have medical insurance or even a regular doctor, and now we dont have to bother with a prescription. Yes, it MAY be somewhat of a risk buying the tablets from another country, but hey, what would life be like without a little risk? :0)))

The " confusion " about dose isn't confusion, exactly. The correct dose

varies somewhat by individual, much like MS symptoms.

MANY doctors will not prescribe LDN. Many people live too far from one

that will to be practical. I personally drive my wife and I 140 miles,

3 hours round trip to see her neurologist. No U.S. pharmacy is going to

dispense a prescription drug without a prescription.

Mail order price is not high. Thirty 50 mg pills is $110-$115,

including shipping. There are slightly over eleven 4.5 mg doses per

pill. That's about $10 a month.

How do we know what we're getting? medsmex.com sells a Bristol Myers

Squibb product, made in the U.S. brandmeds.com sells one made in

India. Without sparking a political debate, how many " U.S. " drugs are

actually made in the U.S.? Anymore, trying to buy " American made " more

times than not means avoiding buying from American companies and buying

from other countries now manufacturing in the United States. All

country-phobic issues aside, other countries besides the U.S. are

capable of manufacturing pharmaceuticals. India, just for one example,

has a long track record of impressive scientific endeavors.

I'm not being snide. I'm genuinely confused why one would assume a drug

made in the U.S. is, by default, more safe or reliable than one made

elsewhere. That *may have* been the case some decades ago, but it seems

to me today the scariest pharmacia stories are in the U.S. Don't get me

wrong. I'm proud of my country, but I'm not proud of some of the things

my big business country men/women do in the name of profit.

> > Hi Wesley -- And thank you for clearing up the confusion I had. I

guess some of my paranoia re buying off-shore has to do with a 60

Minutes story about bogus meds being manufactured and sold here in the

US with disasterous results due to the horrible stuff they placed

inside the pills that could make people sick or even die.

My other concern is about people mixing their own dosages. How can you

be sure you're making caps with 1.5mg in it? I guess there must be a

way to do it, or people wouldn't. I'd be a little frightened about

mixing my own.

Plus, I've been on a pre-clinical, anecdotal protocol for the cancer I

have. I've been making my own caps and/or buying OTC supplements and

each night I load up more than 30 pills/caps and I'm getting sick of

doing it. This protocol may go on for another couple of years, and if

I could switch to just one pill/night, it would be a tremendous relief

and would lower my stress levels. The costs I face each month - living

on a very low SSDI fixed income - buying the supplements is around

$50.00 - $70.00, give or take. So cutting that expense down to $38.00,

and not having to deal with loading up my medicine container for

tomorrow each night and taking the 30 pills would be wonderful.

Especially if it stops the ms from progressing and may even improve

things. I'm ataxic, dizzy 24/7 and have no working short-term memory.

(So, if you find me repeating myself at times, that's the reason why.)

Pluse a whole host of other symptoms, as most of you probably know

about - and, I'll bet a couple you don't.

Hope everybody has a healthy day tomorrow and can enjoy the rainy weekend.

Best regards,

Dan Wulfe

I hope I didn't offend anyone with my comments. If I did, I sincerely

apologize! I was more confused than anything else.

Hi Dan,

Mixing LDN is very simple. Drop a 50mg Naltrexone tablet into 50ML of water. You get a mg of naltrexone for every ML of water. No one makes their own caps, unless they have pure Naltrexone powder and some pretty sophisticated measuring equipment.

No offense taken, at least not by me. The 50 mg pills are crushed and

dissolved in 50 mL of water and refrigerated. Naltrexone is apparently

readily soluble in water, though I've personally not yet found

documented verification of that. A 4.5 mg dose is then 4.5 mL.

For 16 months, I have taken a 50 mg pill, dropped it in 50ml (2 oz) of distilled water - UNCRUSHED - and let it dissolve over about a half hour period. No muss. No mess. No fuss. I shake it before using. I then take 5 mg nightly to control the cancer that was supposed to have killed me a year ago in April. Seems to work for me.

No offense taken, at least not by me. The 50 mg pills are crushed and dissolved in 50 mL of water and refrigerated. Naltrexone is apparently readily soluble in water, though I've personally not yet found documented verification of that. A 4.5 mg dose is then 4.5 mL.>> >>>>>Hi Wesley -- And thank you for clearing up the confusion I had.

I responded to this and it hasn't shown in my e-mail still.

Cyndi, pharmacies charge $10 a month for 4.5 mg?
