Guest guest Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Edith My first prescription was made up in 1.5 mg. capsules this way I could add or subtract capsuls until I found what amount worked best for me. Not everyone is the same and I found that three has less stiffness(which is a side effect in my books)and four and a half was terribly stiff. Also my first prescription was only for one month then my next was for three months and now it is for five months. Every time my Dr. asked me what strength I wanted and this time I was able to tell him without hesitation 3.0mgs. But I still have a bunch of 4.5mgs left (my wife is trying to make them 3.0mgs by dumping some out)so until I use them up I won,t know what a steady dose will be like. but stay with the three mgs. for a long while I believe it will do you some good and probably more than you could hope for.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I asked my doctor for two prescriptions, 1.5 mg and 3 mg, for 90 days each. That way I can use from 1.5 to 4.5 as I try to determine what works for me. He had no issue with that. ----- Original Message ----- From: " Edith " <edith@...> <low dose naltrexone > Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 7:42 AM Subject: [low dose naltrexone] changing doses > I am waiting for an Rx from my neuro for LDN and asked for 3.0 to > start with.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 My first prescription 4/03 was for 3.0, when I went to see my neuro 10/03, I told him I would eventually want to trial 4.5 and asked him for a script for 1.5 MG caps for 4.5 per day for 2 months. So he wrote me a 2nd script for 1.5 X180. My pharmacist says they are totally different scripts, so I COULD fill BOTH of them. If I'm not going to bother with 4.5 testing any more, I'll just refill my 3.0's and not worry about it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Edith low dose naltrexone Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 10:42 Subject: [low dose naltrexone] changing doses I am waiting for an Rx from my neuro for LDN and asked for 3.0 to start with.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Ma première prescription 4/03 était pour 3.0, quand je suis allé voir mon neuro- 10/03, je lui a dit que je voudrais par la suite à l'épreuve 4.5 et demandé lui un manuscrit pour 1.5 chapeau de magnésium pour 4.5 par jour pendant 2 mois. Ainsi il m'a écrit un 2ème manuscrit pour 1.5 X180. Mon pharmacien dit qu'il est les manuscrits totalement différents, ainsi je POURRAIS remplir deux. Si je ne vais pas tracasser avec 4.5 examinant plus, je juste remplirai mon 3.0's et ne m'inquiéterai pas à son sujet. -----Original Message-----From: LarryGC [mailto:larrygc@...] Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 6:39 PMlow dose naltrexone Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] changing doses My first prescription 4/03 was for 3.0, when I went to see my neuro 10/03, I told him I would eventually want to trial 4.5 and asked him for a script for 1.5 MG caps for 4.5 per day for 2 months.
