Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hello All- I am new to this, but I have gained info and courage from you. I have MS and started LDN on New Year's Eve. New Years Day was one of the best days I have ever had. But after that I have been having more symptoms. It is my understanding that one can get 'worse' for a while. My Dr. says I won't know for two or three months how it is working. I guess my real question is about mixing it oneself. I can get the 50 mg. pills for $2, and I cannot afford to pay to have it mixed. I know that some people mix it themselves. I used distilled water. Will someone who is mixing it themselves reassure me. Please do not refer me to websites that have 'lots of info on self mixing' unless you are EXTREMELY specific, because I can never find my way around a big website with lots of options. I tried to start on 3 mg, but I may be taking closer to 4 mg. as my measurements of the water were a little off. I had two nights of sleep disturbance, and then sleep fine. BUT I have Restless Legs Syndrome and take meds for that. The RLS is one of the main reasons I started LDN. I really want to get OFF the RLS meds. Any suggestions or encouragement will be appreciated. Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I mix mine myself and find it to be easy as pie! I asked my local pharmacy for a 50 mL liquid medicine bottle and syringe dispenser. They gave me them free. I explained that I was adding water to medicine to make smaller dose. I put one pill in the bottle. Fill bottle to 50 mL line with bottled water. Allow to dissolve. Before use, shake bottle. Use syringe to measure 3 mg - 4.5 mg (depending what you need) at night-time before bed. Store in refridgerater. It is really easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to get the 50 mg naltrexone pill in order to do this. I don't know where the other person is getting her pills. Maybe she can tell you that.
