Good question... I have been on LDN for 10 months. When we first started exchanging progress reports on this site ,it seems that those with RR get the most benefit. It makes sense because once they remit and return to a "normal state" and take LDN there should be no relapse again.

Dr, B had told me that I may regain only what I had lost in the last 3 months and nothing more. For those of us on LDN ONLY , this seemed to happen in the first 4-6 weeks. From that point on, I would remain stable.( I am either SP or PP not sure) ..Dr. B was correct.

My observation from friends...improvement seems to take a longer if on Copaxone

As far as dosage goes, each person must find what their body reacts to. There are some on 1.5 and some on 6mgs.

Many have started on 3 for a month and then moved to 4.5 comfortably and felt the difference. I , personally am the rare case (2 out of 350) patient who Dr. B has upped to 6mgs. I have not gained anything more except that now I sleep thru the night therefore function better in the day.

The placebo effect would have worn out by now, 10 months on LDN and no progression boosts my outlook on my future . This has been God sent to us all and I wish your wife only wonderful times from now on. Kiki
