Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I just started 1.5 mg of LDN a little over a week ago. Two nights ago I upped my dose to 3 mg and started having nightmares. Is this a normal side effect that will go away soon, or is this something unique to me that won't go away? My dreams were fine on 1.5 mg although vivid. I have a thyroid issue so I am working my way up to the 4.5 dose instead of starting all at once. Thank, Karin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 vivid dreams are a fairly common side effect of LDN when first starting out - I am sorry for you they have turned out to be nightmares - from everything I have read and experienced the dreams usually go back to a more normal pattern pretty quickly.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 What is the nature of your thyroid issue? Are you hyper? When I had hyperthyroidism, Grave's disease, years before I heard of LDN, one of the symptoms was terribly violent & disturbing nightmares. So perhaps your nightmares have nothing to do with the LDN. On the other hand, if you're hypo, & on thyroid meds, it might help to reduce the dose of that med. Some people who start on LDN while taking thyroid meds find it necessary to reduce the thyroid, because the LDN helps correct the thyroid problem. Does this make sense? Most people who have vivid dreams or nightmares when starting LDN find that they diminish or vanish in a short time. I miss my vivid dreams...they were pretty amusing ;-) K. > > I just started 1.5 mg of LDN a little over a week ago. Two nights ago I upped my dose to 3 mg and started having nightmares.
