Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi , Ativan (an antianxiety medication) is not incompatible with LDN. The usual dose is 1 to 2 mg in divided doses with food. Divided doses means one in the morning and one in the evening (not both at once). So, 1 mg with breakfast should do the trick (assuming you are having the MRI in the morning), or 1 mg with lunch (if you are having the MRI in the afternoon). For more information about drugs that should be avoided when taking LDN, visit http://tinyurl.com/yv4a3k Best regards, Dudley Delany dudley_delany [low dose naltrexone] Re; LDN and other Drug interactions I am having an MRI tomorrow and have been given 2 tablets of Ativan (Lorazepam) to take before the appointment as I am terribly claustraphobic. I am presently on 3.0mg with LDN and I am concerned about drug interaction. Is this drug safe to take while on LDN, and should I take 2 tablets or is one enough they are 1mg each. I am on LDN for MS, and weigh 115 lbs. Thanks in advance. ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Thanks Dudley: You're the best, I knew I would get a response from you. I will follow your advise to take 1mg in the afternoon with food the appointment is scheduled for 4 pm. Thanks so very much. . --- Dudley Delany <DudleyDelany@...> wrote: > Hi , > > Ativan (an antianxiety medication) is not > incompatible with LDN.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi , I'm claustrophobic too so when I've had to have MRI's done in the past, a technician one time asked if I would like to lay a wash cloth over my eyes... I have to say it helped. I guess because it's a familiar " view " so to speak. i.e. You've probably had a wash cloth over your eyes before and if you opened your eyes you see cloth...instead of the MRI tube. dunno... it helped me. However, I've taken Xanax before an MRI too...and you won't EVEN care that you are getting the MRI done if you take the anti-anxiety drug. Just make sure you have someone to drive you. Also, I've had friends go in with me while I'm getting the MRI done. They massage my feet while the test is going on ...makes you feel 'connected' to the outside. I've got great friends. Best wishes..
