Re: Anger/Rage and emptying capsules

[Guest guest]

Actually there was someone else (at least one) who found the LDN

similarly changed her personality and from memory it turned out she

actually really had Lyme Disease, not ALS or MS or whatever she had been

diagnosed with. From memory I got the impression that there was a

rational explanation as to why that may happen with Lyme, so get

yourself tested for Lyme (or retested if necessary). Lyme tests are

notoriously unreliable apparently and there are only one or two labs out

there whose results are usually fairly reliable. I think IgeneX (sp?)

was one but the Lymies on here will hopefully tell you.

Best to do a search through the low dose naltrexone posts for those

mentioning Lyme, especially those by alrightguy123 who has documented

his history quite extensively lately.

Unfortunately pouring out the capsules is very inaccurate as the

naltrexone in them is only a grain or two, so you could easily get none

or still end up getting all 6.0mg. Best thing is to work from the fact

that 4.5mg is exactly 3/4 of 6.0mg. Pour the contents of the capsule

into a known quantity of water in something you can easily shake.

Given you want 3/4 of the resulting solution use a quantity of water

you can easily calculate 3/4 of. For example 100ml or 80ml of water.

Shake it up well and then drink 3/4 of the remaining solution - if you

emptied the capsule into 100ml of water drink 75ml of mixed up solution,

if you used 80ml of water then drink 60ml of solution etc..

The one problem with doing that is what do you do with the remainder?

Do you throw it out (wasteful) or collect it up for 3 nights at which

point you'll have 4.5mg for the fourth night? If you get clever you can

empty 3 capsules into a known quantity of water all at once and then

drink 1/4 of the shaken mixture each night. :-)
