Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Here's how I see it: 4.5mg is roughly equivalent the size of a grain of sand. So, if you dump any out, how do you know you're not dumping out all of the LDN, or none of the LDN? It's not accurate, that's for sure.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I did just that but had very sporadic results, actually more bad days than good so I traded with a friend who coincidentally had 3.0mg. caps and he needed 4.5 mgs. Short of going back to the drug store and getting a new batch, there really isn't a good method for this as 1.5 mgs of powder is quite tiny.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Here's a suggestion for going from 4.5 to 3.0. Buy some empty gelatin capsules which you can get at most health food stores. Get the big ones. Empty a 4.5 ldn capsule into a new empty gelatin capsules. Close it and shake it well. Then, pour some of the ldn powder from the capsule into 2 more capsules so that you have 3 capsules with a fairly equal amount of ldn each of which should equal around 1.5 mgs of ldn. At this point you can take 2, 1.5 mg capsules or mix 2 1.5 mg capsules together. It may be cumbersome and messy at first but with practise it gets easier. You can do a weeks worth at a time and then you don't have to mess with it every day. Hope this helps. --- In low dose naltrexone , " Reg Kreil " <regkreil@h...> wrote: > I did just that but had very sporadic results, actually more bad days than > good so I traded with a friend who coincidentally had 3.0mg. caps and he > needed 4.5 mgs.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 What if you take every other day 4.5 mg or even every third day, this way you do not need to go through the tricky division. ***Zora*** San Trinidad, West Indies ****** *** * ----- Original Message ----- From: cscob@... low dose naltrexone Sent: Sunday, September 19, 2004 7:10 PM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] 4.5 to 3.0 what can i use to measure my 4.5 mg capsules to make them 3.0 mg?i feel better with 3.0 but have 100 4.5 mg capsules. i need something to empty them into and remove 1.5 mg of the powder. or just guess and empty some out i suppose.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hi. I found that as soon as I got onto a steady amount, the exact same amount that is, every night I felt better and did better,I have to say that in my case( and only my case mind you ) I would never take different amounts any more. I believe it is just better to put them in the fridge for sometime later and get a new batch at three mgs.
