Re: Pain medication and LDN

[Guest guest]

I've been taking Malic Acid for the last few weeks and it seems to

help a bit. Not sure if this is strong enough for that member's

needs, though.

There's also something called " Tramaden " I've been thinking about

trying. Heard a lot of good things about it. Find it through a

Google.com search.

DLPA helps, too.

Dee, re pain meds when taking LDN, not sure if I have the spelling right here but an epilepsy drug - Gabopentin was given to me for pain, also 10mgs of amitriptyline on a night helped...... My GP also said don't wait for pain to break through, but to take such as paracetamol 4 hourly.....

Cheers

Do some research on over-the-counter Tramaden, a serious pain

medication my doctor has recommended for some of his patients. All

natural ingrediets. It's quite expensive though.

[Guest guest]

If his pain meds are opiate based (vicoden, percacet, etc) then the

answer is yes. Completely off, which means approx 2 weeks of no drugs

on board. I stopped taking all of mine almost 2 weeks ago in prep for

starting LDN myself. If he is taking tylenol or ibuprofen then as far

as I know he can contunue taking those. Good luck!

he has to be completely off of the pain meds first or in LDN maybe help with the

withdraw symptoms.
