Re: Just Started LDN - depression.

[Guest guest]

Sounds very unusual as the endorphins should lift mood, not depress it.

Are you taking anything else that may be interacting with the LDN?

Nausea possibly means you are having problems with the filler in the

capsules. If it doesn't abate you may have to try changing fillers,

though some people apparently do suffer a little initial nausea as a

result of their body trying to adjust to the extra endorphins.

I am not taking anything which should interact with the LDN. I do take

finasteride (proscar), if you know what that is.

I really can't see how thi depression could be related to anything else.

Are the generic naltrexone tablets from alldaychemist.com known to be

legit?

Depression is not a usual side-effect of LDN but it occurs to me that

it could be due to the lack of sleep you're experiencing as you

adjust to taking it. Sleep deprivation can certainly make me put a

negative spin on everything.

I hope you're doing better.

Hi m_j

I think that sometimes when we start something new -- as in starting

LDN therapy -- we are hyper vigilant to all our body

sensations...wondering if this-or-that is a side-effect. So this

depression feeling may actually NOT be a new feeling. ??? Dunno...

just a suggestion. You should pretty quickly start to feel a better

sense of well-being.

I also think that if you aren't having optimal sleep quality...then

that also has an impact on your mood.

I do hope you feel better soon.

Best wishes...

I actually found that I slept easier after my first dose. I seem to be

having the opposite symptoms to what are expected.

Hi m_j,

Some people do have opposite reactions from the norm, for many

different medications. For instance, I can't use codeine cough syrups

before bed. It keeps me awake all night long, whereas most people are

knocked out cold by codeine. So you could be right about sleeping

better on LDN.

Best of Luck,

The 4.5 mg made me feel depressed too, and spaced-out and tired. Now

I'm taking 2.25 (half of the 4.5 mg) and it's having the opposite

effect - making me feel happy and waking up relaxed etc.

I think if you're sensitive to medication like me, the higher dose

might block the opiod receptors for longer than in other people,

leading to depression.
