Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 It's ok to take melatonin - I've taken it the entire time that I have been on LDN - no problems.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Eleanor, absolutely FINE with LDN...I've been taking .25mg Melatonin and 500 mg Inositol for a couple years and get the best sleep. I had been adding .25mg Lorazepam as a topper but since being on LDN I'm finding I almost don't need the Lorazepam to help sleep deep and long. Some have reported sleep issues and take more Melatonin but I haven't had to do that as I'm still taking LDN at 9AM....can't afford sleep issues. Seems to be OK for me. joyce Maybe some day, I'll try the night dose again. Did it in the beginning but was up too much during the night. [low dose naltrexone] Melatonin with LDN ok? I am about to start LDN for cancer, my doc was willing to prescribe, but doesn't have alot of experience/knowledge (I am first patient of theirs to try).

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Can LDN be taken with other medications such as tranquilizers or chemotherapy? How about interactions with alcohol or tobacco? LDN can be taken along with any other medication or substance, so long as it is not narcotic-containing. Naltrexone is a pure opioid antagonist and it will block the action of narcotics. Some examples of narcotic-containing drugs are Ultram, morphine, Percocet, Duragesic patch and any codeine-containing medication. http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/further_q_and_a.htm > > I am about to start LDN for cancer, my doc was willing to prescribe, but doesn't have alot of experience/knowledge (I am first patient of theirs to try).

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I open up one 3mg capsule and divide it up with a razor blade into 4 equal piles. Then I take one pile a night. Also use Valerian root. I'm on 4.5 mg LDN too. ~ > > I do, 3 mg. Melatonin and 4.5 LDN, no problem at all. Wouldn't > do without either.
