Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 My pain management doctor took me off opiods and put me on ldn. I've had good success (not perfect) and am much relieved to by off the oxycodone variants. Good luck. I had to stop the oxycodone and tramadol variants three days before I started ldn. I don't know about going the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Stop the LDN 1-2 nights before then when you stop the opiods then start taking your LDN at the dosage you stopped. LDN can be stopped cold turkey. LDN is not something you have to wean off of. I had surgery on Halloween and stopped my LDN the night before then I was on percocet for about a week so when I stopped taking the percocet I started my LDN back at the same dosage I was at 4.5mg.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Yes, you can, but stop LDN some days before going to the clinic, LDN is out of the system within a day.
