Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hi All, I'm just finishing up a prednisone taper after a flare. I'm on 10 mg today and then done (YAY!). I did have to take three doses of dicyclomine last week for severe intestinal cramping from being off the LDN, but have not taken any since Thursday evening. How long do I have to be off the Dicyclomine before reintroducing the LDN? I'm thinking about starting at 2.0 mg tomorrow, 36 hours after the last prednisone dose. I think the dicyclomine is an opiate that is pretty regulated to the intestinal tract as it doesn't seem to affect other areas of the body while on it (I could be wrong). I'll give that a go for a few weeks and then bump the LDN up to 4.5 mg depending on how well I'm doing at half dosage. I am really happy to be going back on the LDN and am hoping the new treatment plan I have with my doctor will prevent me from falling into starting prednisone again.
