Guest guest Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have read on various sites that LDN should not be taken with opiates (e.g. Morphine), but I have never read a definitive answer as to why this is the case. I have read one doctor saying that LDN will block the action of the opiate and increase pain in the patient. This seems plausible. So, my question is this - What is the reasoning behind not taking LDN with opiates: 1. Because it will block the action of the opiate and therefore increase the pain, or 2. Because it will interact with the opiate rendering the LDN treatment useless. Dr. Ian Zagon has stated that LDN exerts its blockade BETWEEN four and six hours after administering the drug and is then cleared from the system, allowing for the body to be duped into producing more endorphins. Please cite scientific articles or sources. Dr. Zagon has also stated that there is a lot of misinformation/heresay on the internet about LDN dosing, etc. Thank you for your response. My Mom has NSCLC and takes 30 MG of morphine at night (only) and was wondering if giving her LDN at 11:00 a.m. each morning would be effective. I have also read (and believe) that it does not matter what time of day the LDN is taken. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
