Re: Recent Dr visit and was told that it should only be taken at night!

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.

If I have to work on a night shift, for example from midnight to 8a.m., at what

time should I take my LDN?

Continue to take LDN as recommended above; i.e., between 9pm and 3am. This

relates to the fact that the endorphins for each day are always produced in the

pre-dawn hours, regardless of the hours when one is awake or sleeping.
