Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I lost quite a bit of weight pretty quick at first, I think mostly cause I was slightly queezy and my energy incease meant I was more active than I had been in a very long time. A total of 55+ lbs in about 6 months. After a while it slowed down, but the I continue to loose a little (3 - 5 pounds) every month. (Which is great since I still have 100+ to loose!) My GP is very happy with me for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Your metabolisim is too blame for weight loss not the LDN! The way I can gain weight is not regulated by the LDN only by the amount and type of foods I eat. I have had to constantly fight the battle of the bulge since becoming disabled, and it is no fun.. I would sooner be loosing weight I have read thinner people live better - healthier lives anyway. Reg. -- RE: [low dose naltrexone] Weight Loss on LDN I'm not sure what you are looking for exactly, but I can share my experiences with weight. I've gained quite a bit of weight since I started on LDN 2 years ago - and it's not that I've been eating alot more food or that I'm eating poorly. I'm taking 6 mg.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Concerned about weight loss? I guess the simple answer is that you either have to give up the LDN if you think it is a problem and live with those consequences or find a way to increase your calorie intake. If you really are eating as much as you think can than perhaps you should replace a meal a day with one of the super high calorie, non- dairy protien drinks that are found in almost all health food stores. They are used mostly by athletes to help them " make weight " when they are too small to compete in the catagory they want to. There are many choices in the weight gain supplement arena. I have a friend with an eating disorder and her doctor has her drink them as a way to maintain her pitiful scale numbers. Otherwise, maybe try adding a 1/4 cup of raw almonds to your daily diet. Easy to munch down, easy to take with you, and when my co- worker added them to his diet for health reasons, he put on several pounds in just a few months. (He tends to be thin, too.) There are all kinds of creative ways to add calories if you need and want to. But like Reg said, thin people are healthier and live longer, so really, maybe you just need to enjoy your luck at not having to fight the battle of the bulge.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Penny, I'm in a chair too. I've been on 4.5mg for a year. Started on 3mg for one month. I had increased energy fairly quickly, but still I'm nothing like I was back in the 'good ole days!' Better bladder control immediately. Still not perfect but much better. My eyesight got much better after 6 months on 30mg Pregnenolone & 25mg DHEA. I continue those supplements for the anti-inflammatory properties. My vision is good except for the 40ish Syndrome!!

How long after starting LDN do you feel any effects does anyone know. I have just started and would like to know when I can expect to feel anything. I am in a chair and have bad eyesight and low energy can anyone tell me what it has improved for them. Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I would be inclined to believe that your weight loss is the stopping of steroids. My friend isn't recovering at all from his last bout with steroids but I guess it was needed. Also I had an interesting thing happen just this AM The night before last I went to bed just beat and slept the night away, upon wakening at 6.00AM l realised that I had forgotten my pill the night before.......oops Well some say a break is good but I know better due to past events, anyway yesterday was right on the money with lack of complete bladder control by three in the afternoon. Not completely yet not as usual for me latley, anyhow I made it untill bed time and took my pill at nine as a good boy and slept poorly for some reason ( maybe my wifes knee surgery tomorrow) and woke at 2:30, 4:30 then at 6:30 and dozed the rest of the time. Anyway when I woke at 4:30 I thought a washroom trip would be in order but was too beat to get up, by 5:00 I almost did get up but didn't but by 6:30 it was just as if I had a new bladder and was OK until 8:00 when I got up. It was just like I could feel my endorphins getting built up and giving me better control! It just kinda proves what the good Dr. was saying we get our endorphins made up in the early morning and that is what we need! Now I believe this is an important observation, I don't know how but it has to be important.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 For weight gain use Polycose or Ensure Plus. When I worked with mentally challenged children some needed weight gain so we would put polycose in their apple sauce or pudding.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hi, I beleive that it is the LDN too. I have been on LDN since June of 2003. At the beginning I went on the Roy Swank diet plus starting LDN. At that time I also found out that I was allergic to a lot of foods. so I stayed away from them too. I was dropping like crazy. I was happy at the beginning but then people were telling me that I was too skinny. I started to go away from the diet but still staying away from the foods that I was allergic to. I gained 5 pounds and even though sometimes I slip and overeat or eat the wrong things, I really don't gain any weight. I am levelled off at this weight which is 125. I am happy to be this weight and I feel good so I can't complain. I know that I would be a lot heavier if I wasn't on the LDN. Hope this helps Marie [low dose naltrexone] Weight Loss on LDN I am posting this message again because 99% of the previous replies had nothing to do with weight loss. I do need some help especially seeing as how I no longer have Dr. to ask and cannot afford Dr. Bihari. Am going to beg my GP to write me a script for LDN. My question is has anyone lost weight while on LDN and what have you done about it? I've been on 4.5 mg. for over a year and have lost almost 10 lbs. Was slender to start with so did not need to lose any weight and cannot afford to lose any more. Would switching to 3 mg. help, or should I take LDN every other day? I'm eating as much as I can but am still not gaining. I had a complete blood work up in late fall, and everything is normal so I know it's the LDN. Any thoughts??
