Re: LDN? MS? Itching? Any Relation?

Its sounds like an allergic reaction. You should call your pharmacist and see what they used as a filler.

Your itchiness is probably " dysesthetic itching " --dysthesia being the

name for certain MS symptoms like burning, and pin and needles. (I've

never heard of anyone having that reaction to LDN, though anything's

possible.) Normal " itch medicine " doesn't help it.

Prior to being diagnosed with MS, I had this symptom for about nine

years. I took Atarax, a prescription antihistamine, which was the only

thing to help; steroids might've helped too, but didn't want to go down

that road. Ironically, the itchiness disappeared about a year before I

was diagnosed.

I was on 3.5 mg LDN for 2 months when I experienced itching as described--everywhere. Couldn't sleep soundly. Drove me nuts at nite. I mix my 50 mg tabs with distilled water and take with diet soda, which I would not think would be considered a filler. Maybe I shouldn't mix with soda, but it tastes like crap if I don't, but I'm pretty sure it was not an allergic reaction in my case.

I was DX back in Dec. 2004, but had symptoms showing in March of

2004. I have been on LDN for eight months now. I am thankful the

itching isn't all the time. It just started in the past month.

Okay, thanks for that.

I'm sure the pill you are using has a filler in it too.

If you've received this response twice, I appologize. Having some trouble with my email.

I was on 3.5 mg LDN for 2 months when I experienced itching as described--everywhere. Couldn't sleep soundly. Drove me nuts at nite. I mix my 50 mg tabs with distilled water and take with diet soda, which I would not think would be considered a filler.

It could be the interaction with the artificial sweetener in diet soda with the Naltrexone
