Guest guest Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 It felt like my LDN was no longer up to snuff so I took two days off. The first day I actually felt better, the second day I could barely stay awake. Back on it and feel much better than just before my break.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Tonight was #199 for me. Maybe I'll skip 201 and 202 and see how that goes. The last 2 days put me under greater stress than I can remember in a LONG time. Ah, FAMILY, gotta love 'em. ----- Original Message ----- From: david@... low dose naltrexone Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 07:48 Subject: RE: [low dose naltrexone] 2 days off It felt like my LDN was no longer up to snuff so I took two days off.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 Larry, I made the mistake of skipping a day whilst under stress and had a really bad day . It may be best to wait until you are a bit calmer before experimenting with the intermittent therapy - it worked well for me on previous occasions like it did for .

Increasing stress could cause problems with RRMS but it does not seem to make much difference with PPMS. I'm speaking from personal experience, I've had PPMS for a long time.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi Everyone, At the beginning Dr. Lawrence did suggest 10 days on and 2 days off. However he learned that with LDN that was not necessary. I am not certain but I think he might have worried that your body might build up a tolerance to LDN. Anyways, he no longer advocates taking "mini breaks". My best Aletha [low dose naltrexone] 2 days off?I have been taking ldn for about 6 weeks and was just reading some more information. It was suggested to take ldn for 10 nights and then go 2 nights off. Do any of you out there taking it for MS do that? I have been taking it every night...------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -Take the Internet to Go: Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos more.

Dizziness and LDN Posted by: "Destiny" destinyellen destinyellen Tue Jul 24, 2007 2:27 pm (PST) Dear Friends,My dad has been taking LDN since October 2004 for Parkinson's with great success. However, from time to time he suffers from dizziness which after taking him off all medications and reintroducing them we have found two times in two years that it was the LDN. The first time we just took him off LDN for a few days and put him back on and he was fine. This time he went off three days and his dizziness subsided but when he went back on 4.5mg it came back up to a level 5 (1-10 scale). What I am going to try now is taking him off for one day and lower the dosage of LDN to 3mg when we start back up and see how he does.Over the last three years he has gone from 3 to 5mg and back and forth several times. Ultimately, it always works out. I think if we listen to our bodies we can tell how much stimulation we really need and this helps with the dosage. I don't believe that 4.5mg is always the perfect dose for everybody all the time. Everyone's body is a little different.The good news is that LDN is an incredible successful tool and we are very fortunate to have it.Our best to everyone,Destiny and familyChange settings via the Web ( ID required) Change settings via email: Switch delivery to Daily Digest | Switch format to Traditional Visit Your Group | Terms of Use | Unsubscribe Recent Activity38New MembersVisit Your Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
