Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I tried Melatonin with my ldn. for about a week but had trouble staying asleep.Now weather that was because of the melatonin or just the ldn. I don't know but havn't tried it since.Also havn't slept the whole night thru since .....but I hear that the closer to fifty you get the less sleep you need! Very soon I will find out. Oh yes the Melatonin was not affecting how the ldn. was working,not like taking it too late was.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I take melatonin -- quite a bit, for my chronic insomnia. Dr. Bihari said it was fine to continue with it. HE said that my sleep should improve to the point where I should be able to do without it. I've been on LDN for 2 months now and unfortunately, my sleep is still disturbed,and I still take too much melatonin.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Reg, You may be right, about needing less sleep the "closer" you get to fifty. I don't remember. I do know that "after" fifty (<grin>), especially now I'm retarded....ahem....retired, yes it's retired, and now I....hmmm...lost again.....oh yeah, I can now "sleep in" and that's something to look forward to. Ahhhh! Take care and have a GREAT DAY!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I have repeated this many times but I will keep repeating for newbies... When you feel symptoms getting worse or seems as though a flare is coming, check for infection. UTI, throat, ears, teeth, a cold.etc..... Even stressful situation can bring on a pseudo-exhacerbation. This is the only fact that my neuro and Dr. B both agreed on. Kiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hi Chey, Oxazepam??? Sorry, I've never heard of it but someone else here probably has. I've never " really " required (asked the Dr) for something to help me sleep. I used to just lay there, toss and turn, wake up the wife and then get up and go into the front room and sleep in my " chair. " I slept in my chair for about six months, up until I Finally got back to a somewhat normal sleep pattern. I probably should have asked for something to help me sleep, but for me, personally, the less drugs I have in my system the better. Oh well, everybody is different. I have a question for you, and anyone else that would care to answer back: Today is ok, but for the past 5-7 days, I've felt like #$%^ and it just struck me, it was " real similar " to having a relapse, but without ALL the really bad symptoms, they were all really light, uncomfortable, but definitely there. Maybe the ldn??? kept a " possible " flare-up WAY down to a minimum. Any thoughts on that Please. I " think " it was, but, anyone else experience some- thing similar??? Thanks for your answer all, and take care and have a Great Day. Do the same Chey, and will try something else to get some pictures to you, Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: " cheystay " <c_chey@...> <low dose naltrexone > Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2004 6:33 AM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] Re: melatonin > Jim, I'm not retarded ehm, retired yet, just half way, ehm, ok > 3/4;o)) I use Oxazepam to sleep if I need to.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hey there Kiki, Yes, I am a newbie(blush):-) I remember you posting on the checking for the infection etc., and it wasn't any of that. Strange, and the only way to describe it was, it "seemed" just like an exacerbation/flare-up, but with difference that I could "think" which I really couldn't when I did experience a flare-up before. And I could slog my way through the day. (smile) No temperature, nothing else that my wife or I could find, just bleahh! And today is back to "pretty good." Anytime that I experience a little "triumph" I get "jazzed" and in a much better mood! If your post was for me, Thank You very much for replying, if it wasn't, sorry for intruding.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hey Reg, Amen to that clock! One of things I now fight is the lack of enthusiasm for any of my "projects" on either my list of "to do" things or the "honey-do" list. ha! At times, I want to jump up and get a whole host of things done, and then there are a lot of days that seem to "slip" by and I struggle sometimes in finding the motivation to "get going." My wife and I practice Tai-Chi and have recently taken up "Abaniko Largo Mano" which is a Filipino Stick Fencing (fighting) style of martial arts, and it's a gas, except when you get your knuckles out in the way or forget to duck. <grin> Gives her a chance to beat me and get away with it. ha! Opps, breakfast call, gotta run!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Since melatonin is a sleep inducer, it shouldn't cause insomnia. However, if the LDN dosage is too strong it can cause insomnia. Also, there are other things that can cause insomnia to that a person might not readily recognize i.e., a full moon that brings out the werewolf instincts, etc. Noland ----- Original Message ----- From: Reg Kreil low dose naltrexone Sent: Monday, February 09, 2004 1:08 PM Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] melatonin I tried Melatonin with my ldn. for about a week but had trouble staying asleep.Now weather that was because of the melatonin or just the ldn.
