What is the best dosage of LDN to begin treatment with?

For an adult who is not significantly below the normal weight range, the optimal

dose of LDN is 4.5mg, taken each night at bedtime; i.e., between 9pm and 3am.

One can begin at this dose level. If one were to develop persistent sleep

disturbance (i.e., a sleep disturbance lasting longer than 10 to 14 days) after

starting LDN, which occurs in less than 2% of users, then the dose may be

decreased to 3mg or 2mg.

People who have multiple sclerosis that has led to muscle spasms are advised to

begin treatment with just 3mg daily and to maintain that dosage.

Hi Ali,

I also experienced problems with sleep. At one point I thought that I'd have to discontinue taking the LDN. I've been taking the LDN nightly for approx. 35 days and I'm finally able to sleep. I'm sleeping better that I did prior to LDN. Over the last 3 days I've slept at least 7- 8 hours straight and then some... I'm taking 10mg. of melatonin with the LDN also.
