Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 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. http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/further_q_and_a.htm > > Hi there, > > I suffer with M.E and my Doctor has very kindly let me try LDN - Yipeeeeeeeeee > > I started last Wednesday taking it first in the morning, then after reading some of the info on here, at night. > > I have to say it has really helped with my aches and pains but my mood has been really really low. > > I don't know if I am low because because my sleep has been affected, but I am not needing to nap in the afternoon, so I don't think that is why. > > I have read so many conflicting views whether to take it in the morning or evening so I took it this morning and woke up in pain. > > I just don't know what to do, any advice would be really helpful! > > Thanks > Ali > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 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.

I have to say it has really helped with my aches and pains but my mood has been really really low.I don't know if I am low because because my sleep has been affected, but I am not needing to nap in the afternoon, so I don't think that is why.I have read so many conflicting views whether to take it in the morning or evening so I took it this morning and woke up in pain.I just don't know what to do, any advice would be really helpful!ThanksAli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
