LDN, Ambien and Ativan - any conflict?

[Guest guest]

My boyfriend intends to start LDN and is taking several medications. Does

anyone have any experience or feedback with how LDN interacts with: Ativan

(Lorzepam) once per day... sometimes Oxycodene 10/325 1 per day... sometimes 1/2

an Ambien for sleep. Thank you so much helpful friends.

Hello

In response to your message re: Ambien and Ativan. In the LDN.org, there is a

Warning for people taking narcotics, while taking LDN, you shouldn't take any

narcotic medication or relaxing pill. Read below

Cautionary warnings:

Because LDN blocks opioid receptors throughout the body for three or four hours,

people using medicine that is an opioid agonist, i.e. narcotic medication — such

as Ultram (tramadol), morphine, Percocet, Duragesic patch or codeine-containing

medication — should not take LDN until such medicine is completely out of one's

system. Patients who have become dependant on daily use of narcotic-containing

pain medication may require 10 days to 2 weeks of slowly weaning off of such

drugs entirely (while first substituting full doses of non-narcotic pain

medications) before being able to begin LDN safely.

bye,

I thought that Ambien was a non narcotic since it is a sleep medication, and ativan is for anxiety. I take a small amount of valium to help my muscles relax while I am going through this horrible pinched nerve pain. My holistic doctor wrote the script and she also wrote it for the ldn.From: orozcomaria39 <orozcomaria39@...>To:

Can't speak for Ambien, but Ativan is not a narcotic.
