Re: How does LDN affect appetite???

[Guest guest]

, in addition to the improvements in assorted symptoms I noticed a reduced appetite almost immediately after starting LDN. And I have no craving for sweets anymore at all... As I work on eating better meals my appetite is somewhat better, but still no junk food cravings. Of course that is a GOOD thing, just a bit odd for someone who has spent a lifetime loving all the wrong foods.

Subject: [low dose naltrexone] How does LDN affect appetite???

Hi Group: I've been using LDN for a little more than a year now.

I do feel better ie: balance, energy and urinary stuff.

I still don't walk. Using a chair for three or four years.

But my main question today - Does LDN affect appetite?? I have experimented with dosages. Been on for 4.5 mg for a few weeks. If I just don't get hungry for meals

now. Does anyone know....is this related to the LDN??

I think I should cut back to 4.0. Was on that a few months with good results.

I'll have an MRI next week....it'll be interesting.

in CT.

I've been taking LDN (4.5) for almost 3 months and I think that it does affect

my appetite. I don't think that I've been hungry once during that time and I eat

only because I know I should.

discovered Street Smarts (on from 4-4:30 and 4:30-5). And there's

been some times where I don't eat until 5AM.

just found the weight it likes because I haven't gone under 124 that

I'm aware of. When I weighed myself after spending a week with my

father and sister down in Florida, I was up 4 lbs and I think I'm

still within that range.

Wow, yet another reason for me to be on LDN! I need to lose about 80

lbs. (6' tall & weigh 260). I'll be seeing my Dr. on Monday to talk more

about it. Doug
