Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 The therapeutic dose is a maximum of 4.5mg. Anything higher that that could (will?) cause the opiate receptors to get blocked for too long, meaning that by the time they are unblocked, the body has finished its natural nightly endorphin creation cycle. As a result you'll get no benefit at all, I would guess. There's some brief discussion on this on the ldn website somewhere or other. Take it easy Matt. -----Original Message-----From: LarryGC [mailto:larrygc@...] Sent: 16 July 2003 08:22Spotlight_ldn Cc: LDN groupSubject: [low dose naltrexone] 3.0 X 2Anyone ever take their LDN and then forget and take another 3 or 4.5? Whathappens if you have 6 or 9 mg in you one night? Would you notice anything thatday, or the next? How long would it affect you?I don't think I took 2 tonight, I just haven't thought about what two of themwould do, separated by an hour or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 I've never done that but I have gone from 3mg to 4.5mg over the last week and did notice a difference: rapid heart beating and insomnia with 4.5mg. I'm back to 3mg for the moment (I had a months supply left) but want to move to 4.5mg for maximum benefit.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Larry, I don't think it would have any adverse effects, as the dose for drug addicts is 50 mg's, I just don't think it would be as beneficial. There has been discussions in the past about ways to avoid doubling up, we all do it!!! How about a pill box with days and am pm? I forget what I have done all the time, not because I have MS I don't (my father is taking LDN for kidney cancer) but because I am sleep deprived as a mum!! Don't worry. in Oz. ----- Original Message ----- From: " LarryGC " <larrygc@...> <Spotlight_ldn > Cc: " LDN group " <low dose naltrexone > Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 5:21 PM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] 3.0 X 2 > Anyone ever take their LDN and then forget and take another 3 or 4.5?
