If she is not lactose intolerant then use lactose but if lactose intolerant use Acidophilus or Gelatin. Do NOT let them use Calcium Carbonate!!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 > > DO THE HEADACHES SUBSIDE OR IS THIS A CONSTANT... ======= My headache was constant for 3 weeks on Avicel but I'm allergic to it. Some people experience headache from he naltrexone but it only lasts a few days...if she has headache for over a week it's the Avicel.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I started out on Lactose filler and was doing great for many months...I decided to switch my filler to Avicel to see if I could tolerate it so I could order my LDN cheaper at Skip's pharmacy. We switched to Avicel and the headaches & nausea started. After I switched back to lactose all was fine again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When LDN releases slow it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 > > Thanks for that. Is okay to start with 4.5g or is that unadvised? =============== most of us oldtimers started LDN at 4.5mg, Bihari used to start his patients on 4.5mg unless they were considerably underweight or a child. no problem starting LDN at 4.5mg.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Y es, it's ok. I started LDN in 2003, and at that time most everyone started at 4.5. The titration thing just started recently. Arlene -------------- Original message -------------- From: Good <sarahisintexas@...> Thanks for that. Is okay to start with 4.5g or is that unadvised?

The only reliable way to titrate up is to get a supply of 1.5 mg (90 capsules ) and take 1, 2 or 3 caps.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 If you have any problems with LDN at 4.5, I suggest you cut back to 1.5 and work your way up. Some of us do have problems with sleep in particular, and for some people 4.5 is too much, period. I’m one of those, and after some trial and error ended up at a dose of 3.5. Stay aware of how you’re doing and don’t be afraid to cut back for a while until you get used to it.
