Re: Dosage Question from an Older Newbie :<)

[Guest guest]

Janet,

If you're " doing well " on 3mgs LDN I would not change a thing.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If you start doing poorly on 3mgs, which I hope you don't, then I

would consider moving up to a higher dosage.

This is my opinion.

appreciate any feedback you guys have on something.  I have RRMS and

have been on 3 mg of LDN since May '07.  I haven't had any MS flares

during that whole time, other than 1 mild stress induced small one. 

My question is, if I'm doing so well at 3 mg.,  should I leave well

enough alone or do I move up tp 4.5?  When I first started posting

here, I believe some folks said not to mess with a good thing and

some said to move on up.  My script needs renewed and my doc will

probably write whatever I ask him.  What do you guys think???

I actually agree with Aletha on this one! If you can get a script

for 1.5mg then you can try going up to 4.5 and if it doesnt work drop

back down again. My husband noticed no difference at all (although

it was years ago so maybe I just forgot!) when he took the full dose

of 4.5. I understand the " if it `aint broke " thing but if 4.5 is

considered the optimal dose then why not give it a go.

JMHO!
