Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Why would you need to be off Klonopin before starting LDN? I take Klonopin and LDN and don't have any problems at all.

I started taking LDN (1 mg.) in April 2006. After about 6 weeks, all lupus symptoms were gone and have not returned. Due to an unusually prolonged stressful series of events, I began to have panic attacks. I was taking .5 mg. Klonopin twice daily until last autumn. My doctor recommended that I try supplements from a company called Sanesco. After sending in my lab work to Sanesco, they sent me an analysis of my neurotransmitters functions and recommended which supplements and what dosages to balance my neurotransmitters. After 2 weeks on the supplements, I didn't feel like I needed the Klonopin and tapered off of it. I was glad to find a natural alternative to the drug. My doctor didn't recommend that I stop taking LDN while I was also taking Klonopin or the Sanesco supplements. They didn't seem to interfere with each other. You might want to check out the Sanesco web site(www.sanesco.net) and click on the Consumer Info link. It's a good idea to coordinate all this with your doctor.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Revis, Thanks for the info on Sanesco. I've been on Klonopin for about 5 years now. Still searching others reactions to LDN & Klonopin before I make a final decision.Janetrevisann <revis@...> wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > Am currently taking up to 1mg of Klonopin daily.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi Sharon, Was told they might not work well together. How much Klonopin do you take & for how long? I've been on up to 1 mg a day for atleast 5 years now and know I am dependent on it. Really don't want to stop taking it. Was hoping to try to stop later after on LDN for a while.Thanks,JanetSharon <wobbletowalk@...> wrote: Why would you need to be off Klonopin before starting LDN?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Here is the problem with no clinical studies. The full dose naltrexone drug info lists klonopin as contraindicated with naltrexone. So we can't really say, and being conservative, I recommend against it. Until new data is produced, I can't feel good about oking it. SkipSee what's free at AOL.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
