Guest guest Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Hi everyone, I had a question: is it OK to take LDN with minocycline? I have rheumatoid arthritis(RA) and my rheumatologist prescribed minocycline 100mg twice daily- it is used as a disease- modifying drug for RA. I have been on minocycline since the end of August 2007 and on LDN since May 2007. I had increased joint pain and swelling about 3 weeks ago, Not sure if I am worse from taking both medications. I am on probiotics- Culturelle and enzymatic Therapy pearls. Also stopped the LDN 2 weeks ago to see how I feel. Any advice? Thanks everyone! See what's new at AOL.com and Make AOL Your Homepage.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Minocycline is an antibiotic and okay to use with LDN. Can LDN be taken with other medications such as tranquilizers or chemotherapy? How about interactions with alcohol or tobacco? LDN can be taken along with any other medication or substance, so long as it is not narcotic-containing. Naltrexone is a pure opioid antagonist and it will block the action of narcotics. Some examples of narcotic-containing drugs are Ultram, morphine, Percocet, Duragesic patch and any codeine-containing medication. http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/further_q_and_a.htm My advice is to go back on LDN and rough it out.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Hey Dudley, Taking LDN with steroids and other immune-system suppressing meds is not suggested as one will not reap the full benefits of LDN. They possibly work against each other, but it is not considered dangerous, whereas taking LDN with narcotic-containing meds could prove dangerous or at the very least uncomfortable because LDN may cancel out the effects of the pain-killers. Not a good idea after major surgery, for example. Art -- > > Hi Art, > > With all due respect to Dr. Bihari's statement that it's OK to take LDN with anything except a narcotic, it is my understanding that there are THREE classes of drugs that should not be taken with LDN: > > 1) opioid-containing drugs (like codeine) > > 2) immunosuppressant drugs (like chemotherapeutic agents) > > and > > 3) immunomodulating drugs (except Copaxine) > > I base that statement on the fact that Naltrexone is not only an opioid receptor antagonist, but also the fact that it upregulates or boosts the immune system. > > My position is corroborated by paragraph four of the LDN study summarized here > > http://tinyurl.com/39dnyx > > With best wishes, > > Dudley > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
