pain meds before LDN anyone?

[Guest guest]

did some research on headaches and ldn and it says that one should be

off opiates 2 weeks before starting ldn otherwise could get bad pain

backlash. I was off prophoxyphene for 3 days before starting as we

thought that was safe amount of time, but now I am wondering if

perhaps it wasnt long enough and that could be related to bad

headaches and spine pain and eyes hurting at times too.

I didnt take the LDN tonight need to chill and see if headaches go away.

My question is, is there anyone out there who had spine or other

problems where you had to give up pain med to go on and if so did you

wait 2 weeks? I just want to make sure I didnt mess it up to where now

I won't be able to get benefit from one or the other, either go back

to pain med or LDN. I am willing to wait and experiment with it, but I

don't really understand what it means if one gets an increased pain

response from the LDN because of their previous analgesic use, like

does it just hurt but it will be ok or is it causing some brain damage?

LDN would block the pain-killing effects of narcotic containing

medications. It's not causing brain damage.

thx I know it blocks opiate meds. I am wondering though why some

people recommend waiting 2 weeks after analgesics before taking LDN?

Other than having some suffering possibly for awhile is it alright if

you didnt wait 2 weeks, anyone know?

LDN will block the analgesic effects of any opiate drugs (includes

codeine, dihydrocodeine, morphine, pethidine or diamorphine) presently

being taken, the use of LDN will initially greatly increase the level

of pain experienced. It is therefore advisable that any opiate-like

drugs be discontinued at least two weeks before this treatment is

initiated.

Go to the LDN website at www.ldninfo.org and click on the Further Q and

A page for frequently asked questions and answers.

thx

I have looked and can't find the answer to this question though, I mean its too

late for me,

I didnt wait 2 weeks, I'm in bad pain now, so if one didnt wait the rec'd 2

weeks, the pain

will go away and the LDN will start working right after the gross part is over?

You are probably going through a severe withdrawl and the fact you

ARE feeling pain means LDN IS working, except not in the manner you

want it to. I would stop LDN and restart in two weeks.

This drives home the point that everyone must read and study Dr.

Gluck's website before starting LDN. And ask questions here.
