I, too, am starting LDN soon. Doctor says it is more effective than the

hydrocortizone I was taking with less side effects. The two side effects to

warned me about is the vivid dreaming I may experience and do not drink any

alcohol when taking this drug. Should I expect anything else?

For anyone who has taken LDN (low dose naltrexone), could you please

describe your first night?

I just took my first dose last night and did not have a good

experience. About 3.5 hours after I took it, I woke and felt weak,

very spacey, a bit like I couldn't quite catch my breath, and my blood

pressure over the next 2.5 hours fluctuated up and down from 137/89 at

its highest (when I first got up and felt weird) to 101/74 at its

lowest. (Our cuff tends to read the numbers a tad higher than a

doctor's office.)

I did take my adrenal support supplement yesterday at lunch

time....don't know if that matters.

I have appointment with my doctor later, but I'd love to know what

others experienced (especially before I go to the doctor). Thanks!

Thanks for the note on drinking. I didn't know this. Do you know why one can't

drink? Celi , I have been taking ldn for about 6 wks

now and thank God no side effects. It had been working very well for me. Hope

it works out for you.

I found this on a blog. My doctor just said it could set my progress backward.

This is exactly the point. Its interesting how things get filitered but here is

the story: Last year the day before I went to Scotland for the conference, I got

a call from a lady that:

1. doesn't usually drink much ie a couple glasses of wine a week.

2. started on ldn, stopped alcohol.

3 2 months later, at 4.5mg, had a glass of wine and had projectile vomiting.

don't care what the " books " say, I am just reporting what I heard, directly from

the lady.

4. went to scotland and sat around a table of the " big wigs " who were all

drinking. I stepped back waiting for the show to begin. Nothing happened.

5. I am a licensed professional, what i say actually matters from a legal

perspective, what I say matter from a moral point of view, don't drink. you

might get really sick. for those of you who drink, that's YOUR call, but lets

say that you tell some one that its ok, when its not, and that person gets sick,

No sweat off your butt, but the person affected is not happy and YOU created

that problem. so you want to drink fine, its your butt, but just because you

think you Know something, doesn't mean its true. True for what I say, yes, but

if you follow my advice you won't get sick.

Donna, Thanks again and appreciate info I would otherwise not have known. Ldn

is working so well for me I don't want to chance any set backs. Kathy

Hello Group,

in order to avoid the LDN side effects like insomnia, I dissolved the 4.5 mg LDN

in 5 ml distilled water and started by taking one drop the first night, then

increased to two drops the next night and so on....until I reached the number of

drops in the LDN solution that I prepared from the 4.5 mg pill.

keep the solution refrigerated.

if you see no side effects, you can increase by more than one drop

best wishes 

Ana

I have been drinking on LDN for 2 1/2 years and I have never had a bad reaction.

Nor did my doctor ever tell me not to drink.
