low dose naltrexone ; capsule form

[Guest guest]

Hi

Dumping some LDN out may be working for Marie and others, and I

hate to disagree, but, I fell the reason why we are taking LDN is to get

better, then why do something that might change the results. We all

dump different with the day.

I started with 4.5 mg. which was too high, my Dr. lowered the dosage.

I did cut the 4.5 sealed capsule with a knife and thought I could dump

to make the lower dose until the new script came,to give myself a head

start. I found that my eye didn't judge the same or the hummed

weather made the LDN clump together or the dry weather allowed me to

pour more or less LDN than the night before, I wasn't getting the right

dosage and i went threw a lot of unnecessary, unpleasant symptoms

waiting for the new script. I learned the hard way,, to wait for my

LDN that is prepared by a expert and is the proper dosage that my Dr.

wanted me to have so the LDN could do it's job to help me and I can Help

it, fix me. If you can follow what I said. I guess what I'm saying ,the

LDN has enough to deal with out me working against it screwing with

something I know nothing about.

I believe, as far as the pharmacy you use,,, go with who you feel

comfortable with and you trust. There is no right or wrong.There is a

listing on the LDN sight like Marie said. We all are new with this

medication and we are learning from each other. Glad to have you and

let us know how it works out and remember We need your imput also.

The best of LUCK !! Thelma

Several months ago, I started with 4.5 mg. of LDN, went to 3.0 mg. and am now back to 4.5 mg. I feel better on 4.5 mg. during the day and into the evening. However, after a few days on 4.5 mg., as many of you have probably experienced, I can't sleep and have cramps and spasms during the night. It's been that way a few nights now. What do you think is a reasonable time to give LDN before deciding the dose is too high - a week? a month? When I started LDN, I reduced the doseage after a few days of having problems but I think I overreacted and should have given it more time. Thoughts?

Hi Thelma

I dump out the same everynight. I dump out the small part of the capsule

and keep the large part of the capsule. Don't know the dosage but feel it

is between 3.75 & 4.mg. but it is the same every night
