Re: My Experience with LDN

[Guest guest]

Dear T,

I have had a similar experience. I started 4.5 mg. Feb. 10th, and felt

super, then worse, and gradually better. So I encourage you not to judge

results for several weeks. I still have some bad nights and days, but these

are minimal, and the wonderful healing I have had, stays. I really believe

that what has been said on this site is true: When we are stressed and/or

fighting infections or not taking proper care of ourselves we will feel

considerably worse. The good news is with a little care I am able to feel

the best of my LDN progress again very quickly. For me the occasional bad

spell is nothing compared to the sameness of my incapacity before LDN.

$65 for how many 4.5 mg. caps? At Skips Pharmacy I get 90 4.5 mg. caps for

$41.65 and that includes shipping.

Courage!

Lynda

I too have had sporadic results but I blame them on the weather or the time of day I take the pill. For instance the night before last I was one and a half hours late and with the snow coming in, yesterday was not very nice. Last night I took my pill at 9:00 sharp and even though it is still snowing this morning I fairly lept out of bed and put my own socks on! It seems to me that the longer I am on ldn. the more used to the results I am, so I forget what it was like before my first week of ldn. I had promised myself to stay on the three mg dose forever but now after a month of no improvements, no losses mind you, but no improving either, I want to get my next prescription made up to 4.5 but then will the stiffness come back? And will anything more happen? I think maybe more time on the three mg will have to do for now.

This brings up an interesting point my pharmacist doesn't charge anymore for the three mg.s than he does for the four point five mgs.Any time my brother and I get our prescriptions refilled it is for the same price always. Since BlueCross picks up 80% of my drugs I only pay 11,00 dollars for three months worth.He only makes up one hundred at a time, what else could be cheaper?Not Aspirin that's for sure!

Subject: [low dose naltrexone] My Experience with LDN

I started taking LDN about a month ago. I started at 3mg and was on that dose for about 3 weeks. I had absolutly 0 results at that dose. Then I increased the dose to 4.5mg. The next day I felt better than I had felt for 10 years!Now comes the problem.....I havent felt that good since that first day, although over all I have had sporadic periods of success. I take it at 10:30 every night. Does anyone have any experience with intermitent results such as these? The pharmacy that compounds the RX for me charges $65 at that higher dose. Is this in line? I also wonder if they are getting a good mix as the soradic results suggest. They are new to compounding this RX as far as I know. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
