Guest guest Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 Is anyone from Australia getting LDN? I am in QLD and cannot get a doctor to script it. I have MS and refuse the CRAB drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2004 Report Share Posted March 28, 2004 There are a few of us but I don't know of anybody in Queensland. I can understand why most neuros won't prescribe it because they are typically egotistical, self serving _____ (you can fill in the blank) who can't handle the fact that a patient has come up with something that could be of immense benefit to them, but I am surprised that you can't find a friendly GP who will write you a script. I assume that you printed off and took with you all the relevant info from www.low dose naltrexone.org and emails from people in this group explaining how LDN is benefitting them? ausqld50 wrote: > Is anyone from Australia getting LDN? > I am in QLD and cannot get a doctor to script it. > I have MS and refuse the CRAB drugs. -- . ,-._|\ Covington / Oz \ \_,--.x/ v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 G'day Emma LDN is certainly being used in Australia. I am almost 12 months on it now. Not many doctors prescibe it but the society in NSW does know about it, but because of the lack of trials they can not promote it. Doctors are reluctant to prescibe it due to possible litigation of an unproven medication. I am in South west NSW and there are a few doctors down this way that prescibe it. ABout 16 people I know of are on it. We get it from a compounding chemist that mail orders from Lismore. I am looking for a doctor in Sydney that prescibes LDN and will take on new patientas and have a few on a list, so will advise. If you want to contact me directly HennryJH@...

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hi, I'm in Australia too....Melbourne. I've got chronic fatigue syndrome and have just been to see my CFS specialist today. Asked him about LDN and he didnt know much about it and didnt really want to know. I would appreciate any information about how to get it here too. P.S. Love the little aussie map you did :-) Re: [low dose naltrexone] LDN in Australia Where do you live?turnerpllcmj2 wrote:> Where can I get LDN in Australia I cant get my gp to give me a> prescription.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Hi , I'm in Melbourne too (as indicated by the x on my map) so email me privately with which area you are in and I will give you my GP's info as she works both sides of Melbourne different days of the week.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Hi , I have found out some additional info from another forum and am going to try it tommorrow. I found out 2 compounding pharmacy that will make Low Dose Nalrexone into a capsule from the pure naltrexone powder (one store will even combine acidophilus with it as the filler) the charge is around $0.90 per tablet + frieght. The only thing I now need to do is find a GP that will write a prescription for it (doing that tommorrow). The Pharmacist is willing to discuss the drug in low dose form with a GP. Also Naltrexone in a high dose form requires an authority. But the pharmacists inform me that in a low dose form naltrexone does not require an authority on a normal presciption. Send me an e-mail for any more info. > > > Where can I get LDN in Australia I cant get my gp to give me a > > prescription.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Sounds very much like The Green Dispensary, in which case you've found the best! :-) turnerpllcmj2 wrote: > Hi , > > I have found out some additional info from another forum and am > going to try it tommorrow.
