Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Actually, I would think that one would have MORE energy with the increased endorphin production. That has been my experience and the experience of the few others I know taking LDN. They wake up more refreshed and alert but definitely know that the end of the day they feel fatigued again. I wonder what percentage of users has this drugged phenomina? It could be a minor side effect for a certain percentage of LDN users. Anyone else care to jump in here about experiencing fatigue and feelings of being drugged or out of sorts while on LDN? Also, it would be interesting to address Art's question about taking other medication. Maybe certain med combinations combined with LDN produce this effect.

Are you taking any other medication?Art--->> been on 3mg for 6 weeks in the last week been waking up feeling very> drugged, sometmes with a headache.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 >>I imagine it is a herx reaction but haven't readmuch about that happening on LDN.<< Herx reactions are hard to determine I understand. It is an interesting phenomena for lyme disease. Don't know too much about it - like if it is specific to lyme.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I had this feeling when I first started LDN. I woke up every day feeling incredibly groggy. The feelings eventually subside, but each time I increased the doseage, that feeling would come back again, but fortunately, it did go away. I have never felt the increase in energy most get. I am jealous of this!!!! I was very concerned with the potential insomnia issues people experience when I started, especially because I already have issues with that, but actually had the opposite effect. It worked as a sleeping aid for me. For the first time since I can remember I sleep great! I do seem to wake up around 3am every night, but promptly go back to sleep.
