Thanks for that, more than I have been instructed to give but the thing is does the mg make any difference [like I know what I'm talking about here] it says naltrexone cloridrato g 0,0075, does that mean anything? One answer on LDN start at 1ml then raise to 3ml and that was for a three yr old, not been told to increase the amount, just want to get it right, actually just looking at these syringes 3ml isn't going to last very long 18 syringes would be a couple of weeks, makes MB12 look cheap lol.

>>3mg is the dose if you were doing oral, I don't understand big numbers with lots of zero's and hopeless at Maths

>>the age or size doesn't matter, the dose that's been shown to work is 3mg

Talking to myself now, I should have six doses per syringe but at 0.2ml I have 12 doses, so 3ml is 18 mg, so I am using half as much as it says on LDN list.I'm really complicating this I know, whats that again about the link to highly intelligent parents of autistic children.I must be the exception that proves the rule, ha ha.

>>No its probably something DAN's have brought in, starting low and slow or summat. The MS folks start on 3mg and continue on 3mg and it was from them the whole idea came from

So is that 3ml then or 0.25, not that I actually know what either is, but I can see a line on a syringe so that's a start.

Pssss, this is advanced chemistry for me, never mind another half hour and I will be in home territory, know how much half a pint of s is easy enough. Best go I'm lowering the tone.

Hi Vicky,

Are you with ATT? We use the same LDN but give 0.4. I spoke to Lorane last time

we ordered it because the dose she said we should give to Jakub (same as

recommended to you) was less than half of 3mg. She said she will ask the

pharmacy to do the cream as per DAN's recommendation- twice that strong the next

time. Maybe ask for the same. I don't think it will be much more expensive,

because most of the costs is the cost of preparing the cream.

Anyway we haven't seen any effects on 0.2 much better on 0.4

Hope that helps

Are you from Edinburgh?

Hi Kasia

I am with ATT but not from Edinburgh, took the trip up there to get testing and

she suggested LDN.

I'm still confused though if you now have a stronger cream then wouldn't you

just stay at 0.2. Has she asked for the stronger cream just for your

prescription or for all? I'm just thinking if the cream is stronger and you

give twice as much then that's quite a big difference to the original

instructions, maybe I should just call her snd see what she thinks.

How long would a reasonable trial of LDN be?

tends to react to things very quickly good or bad and it rarely changes

from his initial reaction.

I started out with 2mg and then a month later my LLMD (lyme literate MD) upped

it to 3 mg. The thing is she wrote the script for 100 3 mg capsules and said to

take 1 or 2. I did the 3 mg for maybe a couple of weeks, but I want to up it to

help with my ulcerative colitis. So, I am taking 2 capsules now.

I know that the studies say that more than 4.5mg isn't beneficial, but is it ok

to take 6 mg until I run out and get the next script?

Www.LDNscience.org is maintained by docs ar U Penn. They report that some patients with Chrons do better on twice a day dosing. I have fibro, CFS, and IBS and tweaked my doze when I started. I have fewer symptoms with twice a day dosing (total 9mg). I metabolize quickly, and believe this is critical to have 2xday dosing work. If you metabolize slowly naltrexone would block for too long, you wont have OGF rebound and it feels like a cloud covers you with a depressed mood. If you pay close attention, you may be able to determine when endorphins release, you may feel warm and your heart rate goes up. The site statea we should not exceed 10 mg per day. The video on that site does a great job of explaining OGF rebound, which is critical to understanding why LDN works.
