6 weeks on LDN for MS- update

[Guest guest]

This is exactly the reason we have been a proponent of titration of dose from 1.5-3-4.5 mg q month. Next years survey, study, whatever is going to be about these nagging side effects. One thing that has come up in converstation with foks is that the people with these spasms and stiffness have had a higher incidence in febrile seazures as a child. Connection, who knows but an interesting question.

As for increased sex drive, when you are feeling good, well I guess you can actually hear the birds and the bees. We see this in our HRT practice, when women are feeling better their sex drive increases.

I started at 1.5 mg in August. After about a week, I had an increase in muscle spasms and stiffness. The spasms and stiffness tapered off after a couple of weeks and most of my other symptoms decreased also. I then upped the dose to 3 mg about a week and a half ago. I have had NO stiffness or spasms with the increased dose and am feeling almost back to my pre-MS self. I'm also have no problem with sleep. I had been taking baclofen, but stopped that completely about a week ago. I will soon increase to 4.5 mg.

Has anyone else noticed a huge increase in sex drive with LDN or was I just lucky? : )
