Thanks, , Surely you were aware that this is a possible side effect that usually doesn't last more than 3 - 4 weeks, if that long. Either stick it out or give up after 2 nights. It's strictly up to you. Are you still mobile? If so, believe me, it can get much worse. I would hate to see you throw in the towel so soon only to continue progressing. I didn't sleep for nearly one month after starting LDN. But since I can't stand, balance, or walk at all, my life pretty much consists of doing very little anyway. My bladder issues were much improved immediately, and after the first month I sleep very well. I do believe my progression has stopped. I was about one step away from some type of assisted living arrangement. I know that different people's tolerance to pain varies. Also, some people just handle situations differently. Hang in there!

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 - I am sorry to hear of your dilemma. Have you tried 1.5 mg for a period of time (1-2 weeks) and slowly work your way up? I have been taking LDN for a year now, and it acts like a sleeping pill for me. Before taking the LDN my MS was really taking its toll on me. After the first week, people I know were asking what I was doing to be able to function and speak like anybody else they know. It has changed my life. I feel that it was a divine intervention that brought me to the LDN. Stick with it... You will be amazed... ~Rob~ ----- Original Message ----- From: abolo@... low dose naltrexone Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2004 6:42 PM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] New User Questions Hi-I took my first two 3 mg doses at about 10 PM for two successive nights and I was not able to sleep at all those nights.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Try setting an alarm so you can take the ldn at three in the morning this works I also have taken it at three thirty with stellar results.
