Re: LDN General Question for Everbody

[Guest guest]

My wife started at 4.5 mg first night and stayed with it for 16 months.

At that time, she felt it was too much and we cut it back to 4.0 mg,

which she has been taking for 8 months.

For the most part, no problems here either. The only thing I have

really ever noticed is maybe a heightened sense of stress if I have

things on my mind before going to bed, like a money problem or

something similar. I just dont know if that is from the LDN. LDN

doesnt seem to cause stress, but for me it seems to exacerbate it

somewhat, if that makes any sense.

I started on 4.5mg three weeks ago and it is the only dose I have taken. No problems. Better stamina and feeling over all better.

Wesley, Cyndi, Everybody? I started out on 4.5mg's of LDN and haven't had any problems at all? am I okay? Should I get my script checked out? Is there anybody else that hasn't had any problems with LDN?

Re: [low dose naltrexone] Dosage question

A tough question. Some on this group have said higher doses have caused them spasticity and reducing the dose helped. Dr. Bihari, I believe, says 4.5 mg is the optimum dose, but enourages people to take less if higher doses affect them negatively. I have read that 1.75 mg is the minimum recommended dose. If 2 mg worked for you but you're looking for better results and you are unsure of 3 mg, you could try 2.5 mg?a_widony wrote:>Hi there!

I have not had ANY problems on LDN. As a matter of fact, I sleep

better than before! Only 2% of LDN users have trouble according to

(http://www.gazorpa.com/LDNFAQ.html):

" All sources indicate that LDN has virtually no side effects. Some

patients report vivid dreams, and

occasionally, during the first week of use, patients may complain of

difficulty sleeping. (Reports

indicate that sleep disturbance is rare, occurring in less than 2% of

users.) "

I have just been on LDN for 4 days and the only thing that has happened that I see different is that I have had some vivid dreams

Hi Juice,

Just rejoice. You are one of many that do not have problems starting right out with LDN.

Best of luck

Hang in there. Skip says if you are having the dreams then the LDN is in your system. Give it time to work. I have faith that it will.

I'm trying to get this lecture up on the webpage but  adams computer is otherwise occupied getting the DVD compressed.  Vivid dreams are normal and transient. cyndiOn Jul 15, 2006, at 9:49 PM, Arthur Freeman wrote:I have just been on LDN for 4 days and the only thing  that has happened that I see different is that I have had some vivid dreams .

The whole sleep thing vivid dreams are transient. but again I would see this as positive. this means an increase in your REM cycle which the good part of the sleep cycle.

About your question if we or I dreamed before LDN? I would dream if something was really bothering me or I had seen a particular riveting movie or television.

I don't have MS.

When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer a little more then a year and half ago with stage 1 Gleason 6, I investigated all of the options. The western medicine options did not appeal to me for the following reasons; the side affect percentages were not in my favor, and I am to shallow a person to give up my sex life. Even though my life might be cut short if it spreads.

I did a year and of half of heavy herbs, acupuncture, diet and applied kinesiology. The PSA kept climbing like I wasn't doing anything. It was serendipitous that I met someone when I was out to dinner in another city that told me about LDN.So I am still wondering about the diet and how much you can stray and still be okay with the LDN.

actually its good that you did not have any other treatment because it is meant to work best if you have no had any other treatment first. The reason I asked about if you had ms is because many ms pts I  have spoken to do not dream until they start ldn.I'm not sure what kind of diet your on - it doesn't have anything to do with the ldn but I'm assuming it has more to do for your treatment of prostate CAcyndiOn Jul 16, 2006, at 12:57 PM, Arthur Freeman wrote:I don't have MS.When I was diagnosed with prostate cancer a little more then a year and half ago with stage 1 Gleason 6, I investigated all of the options.

I am one of those MS ers that never dreamed (if I did, I never remembered) until after I started LDN.

I kind of like the dreams.
