Hi ,

There are some sleep aids suggested for LDNers at

http://tinyurl.com/yosnk5

You will find there the recommended dosage for people with MS.

Best regards,

[low dose naltrexone] Re: Advice on getting some sleep

Hello Group:

Last night I increased my dose of LDN from 1.5mg to

3.0 mg and had no sleep, today I am just exhausted. I

have also noticed an increase in symptoms as well ie:

numbness in torso and stiffness in legs is somewhat

worse today. Is this possible after a one increased

dosage? I know I have to stick with it and eventually

it will get better, in the interim is there something

I should be doing to help me get to sleep easier? Any

suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dudley:

Thank you so much for the information, I have

researched the link you sent me and I will try to

chamomile tea and some of the other recommendations

for the spasticity today.

Your the best, I knew I could count on you for a

response.

Hi ,

I do not have MS, however I do have other issues that I have ordered LDN for. When I have trouble sleeping I often use

Melatonin. It normally will help. My husband takes this too. It works! Take 2- 3 mg tablets before going to bed. Can take up to 3 a night.

Hi and all,

I also went from 1.5 to 3.0 last week and for the first 5days my legs were terribly stiff! it's slowly getting better so I guess it's important to stick it out. My main problem are my knees, I've always had a problem with them being super sensitive to cold, heat, pain and weakness, and now that's where I'm still the most uncomfortable. Has anybody else had this problem with their knees?

Ohterwise, having started on LDN on Nov 2nd, I do feel much better! less fatigue, more strength. hopefully I get some balance and not have to use both crutches...it probably helped also since I went off Betaferon 1b, gabapentina, amitryptilina and ibuprofen all at the same time (also immitrex for migraines because I've had only a couple minor headaches since then).

hope this is just the beginning...! best wishes to everyone in this group-

Miki (MS)

Hello Dr. Skip;

I have MS, I am following your protocol for using the

drug. I started with the 1.5mg for 1 month and now I

am taking the 3.0 for the 2nd month, only to progress

to the 4.5 mg and remain at that dosage. The filler

that I was told that is in there is Avicil I think

that is how it is spelled and what it is called. I

took the 3.0 mg in two capsules 2 x 1.5mg, does that

make a difference in it's effectiveness? I also took

the dosage at 11;30pm. Please advise, and thank-you.

It can be unbearable! It is very painful. Add arthritis from prior Lyme to the mix and I have nasty knees. I'm a human barometer.I wear heavy hiking/mountain-climbing socks and then cover my knees, lower legs and feet with a polartec blanket when sitting or lying down. My circulation is normal. It's a neurological problem and is similar to "mountain sickness" which climbers get when core body temp drops like mine has. Nerve damage to my temperature regulation system as well as neuropathic pain (which kept me awake since 4AM) are 2 big wishes for improvement for me.I haven't found a magic bullet yet whether with meds or supplements. My neurologist (a good one) is stumped. Neurontin hasn't helped with pain. Prior to LDN, Tramadol took some of the edge off. 6 weeks on LDN is too soon for me to know where I'm headed with this.A good holiday present for both of us would be some relief from this.I wish you well!Gail
