Re: Accidentally dosing twice?

[Guest guest]

Hi Jim,

I don't think taking an extra dose of LDN can do any harm. When I was using LDN

4.5 mg tablets, and also had 50 mg tabs on hand, one night I took 50 mg by

mistake, with no ill effects except a little headache next day. No problem. Our

bodies are subject to all kinds of changes and symptoms from day to day, most of

which can be safely ignored. Sometimes we get dizzy, or we don't. We get

headaches, nausea, whatever, or we don't. I try to resist blaming every little

thing on LDN, am just happy to have it! And, quite honestly, when it comes to

side-effects, I just don't see any with LDN, only the beneficial effects for

which I take it.
