RE: LDN with other MS Drugs

[Guest guest]

Can LDN be taken along with any of the standard medications for multiple

sclerosis?

It can, and many people with MS do this. However, all of the standard MS drugs,

with the probable exception of Copaxone, are immunosuppressant and thus tend to

oppose the beneficial immune system upregulation induced by LDN. Therefore, many

people with MS try to wean themselves away from these other medications when

they find that they are doing well on LDN.

whether or not it works as well as with the Copaxone remains to be seen.

why did the neuro change to avonex? was the copaxone + LDN not doing an

optimal job leaving room for possible improvement? or something else?

I was on Copaxone and taking LDN, and my neurologist switched me to

AVONEX and said I could stay on the LDN as well. Her response is that it

wouldn't hurt. Now whether or not it works as well as with the Copaxone

remains to be seen.

Any one else taking Avonex with LDN and has had good results (MRI'S,

less symptoms) I'd love to hear from you.
