I had LDN at 4.5mg cause me numb hands for 3 weeks and the stiffness lasted 3

months. These weren't severe so I rode the symptoms out and stayed at 4.5mg. I

no longer have numb hands nor any extra stiffness.

I had the same effects at 4.5 mg. I took that dose for

three weeks and the stifness wasn't going away. So I

stopped taking my LDN for 2 weeks then started back at

3.0 mg (I took this dose all last summer, it worked

well but I was going to try for a bit more

energy,hence trying 4.5). I took the 3.0 for two

months again and 10 days ago I started at 3.5 mg. I

am doing well at this point. It is recomended that

you don't just jump in at 4.5 mg but build your way

up. My stiffness went away after I stopped taking the

4.5 mgs.
