Re: Should I switch back to 3.0?

[Guest guest]

I keep trying 4.5 thinking it would be better for me...but I always go back to 3...that is what is best for me. When I got my first prescription, I read a post that suggested 1.5 mg capsules. Then it is very easy to move the doses up and down. Even one for 3 and one for 1.5 would be good.

Do what is best for you??

Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Should I switch back to 3.0?

Hi Everyone,I haven't posted in quite some time, but I thought I'd look for some input here. I just don't know what to do. I've been on 4.5 for a month now and I'm wondering if I should switch back to 3.0. I did awesome when I first started on 3.0 almost a year ago. I have been going through a relapse, but I still think I brought it on myself way back when , when I went to the tanning bed a few times. This relapse wasn't bad compared to others I had while on Rebif, pretty minor in fact , but it was still there. I switched to 4.5 when this relapse was at it's worst. I guess it wasn't a good time to experiment with a different dose, because now it's hard to tell if it's the different dosage that is making a difference, or if it's still having to do with the relapse.I'm back to having to be careful what I do, which I didn't have to when I was on 3.0 and before this last relapse. I guess I got spoiled. All my numbness has gone away, and I generally feel pretty good, but yesterday I did a lot of work in my garden, and before long my legs just wouldn't work anymore, and by late afternoon I was using my wheelchair to get around the house.I guess my question is did anybody find that they did much better on 3.0 compared to 4.5? It's almost time to refill my rx again and I'm just not sure which way to go. I think I have about a week's worth of 3.0 here, I'm thinking of taking those and seeing how it goes. I know there is nothing cut and dried about MS or about LDN for that matter, just looking for some input here to help me make up my mind.Thanks, and hope everyone is doing well.Kerry

My compounder doesn't charge anymore for the prescription to be made in 1.5mg doses than for the 4.5 mg dose and if you were to recieve a total of 135mgs. for the month then that would be 30 4.5 mg. pills or 90 1.5 mg pills, No difference in cost just a larger bottle and you would have a much easyer time to adjust the dose.

I was on 4.5 but I found 3.0 is really all I require.

So therefore I had extra pills left over at the end of the month.

I did 3.0 for 300 days, 4.5 for 38 days, and went back to 3.0 and that's where I am now, day 418. 3.0 seems to be much better for me, but also, it may not have been a good test, I may repeat it in the future.
