Re: LDN form / Doctor please / CFS/FMS - SOME ?'S

[Guest guest]

LDN can come in all of those forms. I take 4.5mgs capsules.

LDN _MUST_ be taken only _ONCE_ in a 24 hour time peroid.

It is recommended to take LDN between the hours of 9pm and 3am, but there are

some who say it is okay to take it any time of the day or night. I take mine at

10pm every night.

LDN can be taken with any medication as long as it does not contain a narcotic.

It is best if you read the website to become familar with LDN.

http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/ but you are allowed to ask as many questions

about LDN here as you want.

pills or cream?  How many times a day does one take it?  If it's cream, how

would it work for CFS/FMS?  Is it better to take in the AM or PM?  I have a hard

time already sleeping at night.  I am at my worst ever right now.  Is it OK to

take LDN if I am taking Cymbalta 60mg per day, Addrerall XR 30 mg per day and M

S Cotin 60 mg every 8 hours?

I have early RA.

To avoid side

effects, I had read that staring LDN at 1.5 the 1st month, then 3

the next , & finally 4.5 ongoing.

Has anyone tried

this ? Did LDN partially work at the lower dose the 1st month?

Can one do less

than 4.5, say 3 continuously?

Does the dose

matter depending on your condition.

I would assume

more side effects with MS, but maybe not with RA? And therefore maybe can start

right away at 4.5

But maybe 3 is the

vest to start then go to 4.5

This is all new to

me<gr>so hopefully I am not rambling

1 other question-

I have been on 2Aleve twice/day until my DMARD kicks in. Should I stop that

maybe a week before I start with LDN?

I suggest that with RA you work up to 4.5 & stay there

but not with immune suppressing drugs, that will stop LDN from working. Aleve

is fine. I have had RA for 25 years & for the first time ever I’m

getting relief from LDN, it is helping my immune system work like it should. I’ve

always tried to avoid the drugs the rheumatologist push, doesn’t make

since to suppress your immune system. Ask Dr. Skip at skips pharmacy he has RA

& only takes LDN. Hope I’ve helped some RA is awful I Know.
