Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hello, My mother will be going on LDN shortly for her MS. I'm confused about when she is supposed to take it. Do you take it every night right before going to bed, even if you go to bed at a different time every night? Or do you take it at the same time every night, say, 9pm, even if you are not going to bed right away? She usually goes to sleep by 11pm.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi Charlene, I’m sure all MSers on this site will agree with the “Bihari protocol” ie take it at night will be most beneficial – that’s when it has its optimum effect but those with other diseases may find it more beneficial re day time dosing.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi Jayne, This idea that there is an optmal effect with bedtime dosing contributes to the confusion such as experienced. The way LDN works is to provide the same beneficial effects any time it is taken, as long as the dose is appropriate and it is taken no more frequently than every 24 hours. There are no studies showing that nighttime dosing is best. There are many studies showing that dosing is not dependent on time of day and the idea that endorphins are produced only in the wee hours is simply in error. Endorphins are produced and released any time their production is induced and they are required by bodily demands.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Many opinions and no real answers. I believe it is important to take LDN at Bedtime. I believe this works wherever you are in the world and thatever your workshift is. There are some pretty knowledeable people on this group who specify some specific clock times. I rely on the " bedtime " rule as it seems consistent with the theories on how LDN works and how endorphin levels are affected by our sleep cycle (i.e., my body doesn't care about where I am on earth).

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 If I were she, I’d take it just before going to bed, whenever that is. For me, it begins to work very quickly after taking it. I start to feel groggy and like I want/need to go to sleep. I need to be in bed when that happens or else my muscles begin to tighten and I start to get tense, irritable. n From: low dose naltrexone [mailto:low dose naltrexone ] On Behalf Of mdm_ruby Sent: Monday, March 30, 2009 8:19 AM low dose naltrexone Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Take LDN same time every night?

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I take it Midnight-1am every day. I worked 12-8am most of the time I've been on LDN, waking up 11:30PM to start 'my day' and I took LDN 12:30ish those days. When I am on 'days' or any other hours, I take the LDN between Midnight and 1am. It's either the 'middle' of my day or the 'beginning', mostly. There was a stretch where I was taking it at 10pm and going to sleep... back in 2006 for a time. RE: [low dose naltrexone] Re: Take LDN same time every night?

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I have been taking LDN for over four years. During that time I have always taken it between the recommended hours of 9pm-3am. First couple of weeks very minor sleep disturbance. Nothing to get hysterical about. The important thing to me was treating my multiple sclerosis, halting disease progression and symptom improvement. In the beginning I would take it around 9-9:30pm, then I moved up to 10pm, another move to 10:30pm, until finally arriving at my current time of 11:45pm. My hope has been to have the naltrexone in my system at the key time for the endorphin blockade, which is 2am-4am. In all those dosing time periods I have tried I have never experienced the side-effects I read about from the some of the people here. To me they sound almost bizarre, as if some other medication is being taken and not LDN. Of course the paranoid side of me makes me think something else is going on. It's almost as if these reports are meant to turn others off from trying LDN. Big pharma reps in the house? NMSS moles here? I guess different meds react differently with different people, but I am still surprised and leery. All I know is I have had MS for 19 years. I have tried most of the FDA-approved meds for MS, Avonex, Copaxone, Novantrone, Solumedrol, oral Prednisone, Bacolfen, Provigil, Amantadine, Wellburtin etc etc etc. I was about to start Tysabri then it started killing people and was pulled from the market. You want bad side-effects from drugs that do nothing to help your disease but make you sicker just help yourself to that menu of expensive, dangerous, ineffective medications. I'll take LDN. Art I wish I had found LDN sooner, I wouldn't be dealing with the neurological damage I now have. --- > > But it certainly helps (to go to bed directly after taking it).

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi, Thanks everyone for your responses. I'm still a bit confused, though. I should have been more specific with my question: My mother plans to take the LDN at night, every night. She does not currently go to bed at the same time every night, and I keep hearing that the LDN should be taken right before going to bed. If she takes it at 9pm right before bed one night and 10pm right before bed the next, and maybe sometimes at 11pm if she's up particularly late, will that make it less effective? In other words, should she start going to bed at the same time every night so as to take the LDN at the same time every night? For those of you with MS who take it at night, do you take it at the same exact time no matter what, or is it okay as long as it's within a range of a few hours?

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi Charlene My husband has been taking LDN for MS, for four years. He takes it at all different times (around when he goes to bed) and has never noticed any difference to how he feels. It`s usually around 10p.m but can be a half an hour earlier or up to midnight depending on what we`re doing or if we`re out. In his case (I can only speak for him of course) it hasnt made any difference to his health as he has not had any disease progression for the whole four years. I wouldnt worry too much about the timing - I know some people say they have experimented with times and prefer to take it at the same time each night, but in our case, it hasnt mattered at all.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Nowadays I've been taking my LDN between 2330 and 0030. My cell alarm goes off at midnight. I would say for the best results, take it after 10pm any given night and you can't go wrong. If it's easiest to take it the exact same minute each night, make it 10pm or 11pm. If she goes to bed one night earlier, it's ok... people say don't take any more than one in 24 hours.... but the window is still the same.... 20 hours one day, 28 hours later, 20 hours... don't really matter from what I can tell in 6 years I've had runs where I had to get to sleep early, so I took it before I went to sleep. If I'm involved in something, it may be closer to 2. LDN has nothing to do with going to bed for the most part, it's just laypeople to Understand better.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 If you're going to use Dr. Bihari's protocol, which is what I recommend, LDN is to be taken ANYWHERE between the hours of 9pm and 3am every night, not necessarily right before bed. You do NOT have to be IN bed to take LDN. I think it is a good idea to take LDN around the same time every night. I take mine at 11:45pm every night. I found changing the dosing times screwed me up a bit the next day. Better to be consistent. Art --- > > Hi, > > Thanks everyone for your responses. I'm still a bit confused, though.

In other words, should she start going to bed at the same time every night so as to take the LDN at the same time every night? > > For those of you with MS who take it at night, do you take it at the same exact time no matter what, or is it okay as long as it's within a range of a few hours? > > Thanks, > Charlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 For over five years I've take mine whenever I think of it, which could be anywhere from 9.30pm till 3am (usually go to bed about 4am) and still seems to be working. mdm_ruby wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks everyone for your responses.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I agree with Art and I take my LDN every night at around 10pm and usually don't go to bed till 12-1am. I've been taking LDN now for 3 yrs and 6 months.

If you're going to use Dr. Bihari's protocol, which is what I recommend, LDN is to be taken ANYWHERE between the hours of 9pm and 3am every night, not necessarily right before bed. You do NOT have to be IN bed to take LDN. I think it is a good idea to take LDN around the same time every night. I take mine at 11:45pm every night. I found changing the dosing times screwed me up a bit the next day. Better to be consistent.Art--->> Hi,> > Thanks everyone for your responses. I'm still a bit confused, though.
