Will 3 mg be enough to work for me or should I quit LDN?

[Guest guest]

Hi to all, I think I am one of those unlucky ones that are really

having a tuff time with LDN and strange side effects. From what I

have heard if a person doesn't have severe spasticity from LDN they

should be on 4.5mg. Bottom line it took me 1 month to get up to 3mg(

revia liquid)before I started to feel ok on 3 and be able to sleep

and not have anxiety and pain. Since I was ok on 3 I tried 3.5 the

other night and OMG, I thought I was going to have to go to the ER.

My heart had BAD palps, tight chest,pain, sweating, no sleep and

when I did , dreams that were wild and very strange. The next day I

felt like I was hit by a truck and had shaking all day. Didn't take

it last night and am still shaking and dry mouth but my heart palps

are better, still a bit of pain left over. suggested that I

take the 4.5 and get the sypmtoms out of the way and over with and I

understand what she is saying, HOWEVER, if 3.5 made me feel that way

I think I could never take 4.5mg!! It's not just 1-2 days of the

effects, like I said it went through them for 1 month before 3mg

became ok. The way I feel when I increase is not annoying or

bothersome, it's unbearable and super scary, and I don't think I am

being a baby about it! So, I either stay on 3 or I quit. For those

of you on 3mg only, do you feel it's helping? OR should I just

figure LDN is not for me and forget about it? PS FOR THOSE WHO ARE

THINKING ABOUT STARTING LDN, PLEASE DON'T BE AFRAID BY MY POST. MANY

DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING AND IT WORKS GREAT FOR THEM

RIGHT AWAY. Thank you for any replies or thoughts!! hugs, Jeanief

I sure hope so! I've been on 3.0 for all but a 38 day and 12 day 'trial' if 4.5 in the last 1056 days.

And in the last 3 weeks I've NEVER felt healthier. All my remaining untouched symptoms suddenly disappeared practically over night.

3.0 BETTER be working or I'm just dreaming (don't wake me up if it's just a dream)
