Guest guest Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Can you take Neurontin with LDN? If so that will help me sleep. LeonaStart the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Leona,Neurontin should not be incompatible with LDN. However, I think there are better, more natural sleep aids with fewer side effects. Some of them are listed near the bottom of this site:http://tinyurl.com/yosnk5Best regards,Dudley Delany dudley_delanyFrom: Hummingbird61959@...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Jann: Thank you for those suggestions I am sitting here right now dreading this test, I know it sounds ridiculous but the last MRI I panicked and I pressed the button for the technician, she left the room and so I freaked. I will ask for the wash cloth and see if they allow that and hope that it will help. I am definitely taking the Adivan to relax me. Out of curiosity how long before the test should I take the pill? I am getting my son to drive me so I doubt he is going to want to massage my feet. lol But the idea sounds wonderful. Thanks so very much for the advice, this is very much appreciated. I will write again after the test to let you know how it went.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi, I've also had som real panic feelings in my first MR, made me cry and shake for an hour afterwords, and I felt terrible the next time I had to go through the same again. Well, the second time, and the third time was just fine. And quess why? They had the new MR's with an opening behind your head, so you could watch the world if looking back and up (had to strech my neck a bit though ;-) Hubby followed and was sitting there right behind my head, and we could talk to each other, so 45 minutes were just feeling like a few. :-) Ingrid Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re: Re; LDN and other Drug interactionsHi Jann:Thank you for those suggestions I am sitting hereright now dreading this test, I know it soundsridiculous but the last MRI I panicked and I pressedthe button for the technician, she left the room andso I freaked.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hello Group: Well my MRI was cancelled due to the machine breaking down. just my luck so now they have to re-schedule me. I was semi relieved, but realize that ultimately I will have to take the test which will probably be sometime next week. Just as I geared myself up for it. Oh well such is life. I will post after the test and hope everything goes well. Thanks to everyone who offered me such great advice. I am forever thankful. All the best to everyone here. --- Gunn Dybfest <gunn.ingrid@...> wrote: > Hi, > I've also had som real panic feelings in my first > MR, made me cry and shake for an hour afterwords, > and I felt terrible the next time I had to go > through the same again. > Well, the second time, and the third time was just > fine.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi Ingrid: Actually this is the 2nd time this has happened to me so maybe there is something to it. I don't know anyways I am now re-scheduled for next Friday afternoon. Well now I have an additional week to gear up for it. Thanks to everyone here who posts I feel like I am not alone on this subject. Take care. --- Gunn Dybfest <gunn.ingrid@...> wrote: > Hi Suzzie, exact the same thing happened to me the > second time I was going to > do an MR.
