First time I Missed a dose :(

[Guest guest]

Well, I guess I'll see what it's like to skip a day. Just realized I didn't take #359, and it's too late now.

Good Friday everyone.

Of course you will let us know if you notice any changes? I skipped a dose once, accidentally, and did feel better after the next dose. Who knows, this is so confusing...

When I miss doses it doesn't make much difference on the following

days but it works better when I start again. I find it is essential to

skip doses when my leg cramps get bad. I'm only one 1.5mgs these days

so it's pretty near a zero dose anyway.

i missed 5 doses......due to (i'll be nice and say....) Confusion at Irmats Pharmacy. They never over nighted it to me (of course I paid my $25.00), and it took 5 days for them to finally "Unconfuse" themselves and send it to me. That happened twice. That was my REAL TEST of LDN~! After the second nite, without it, I started feeling pretty close to what I felt before......MS Pain! I felt as if my body was headed for a mild relapse. I don't think I felt much of a difference the first day, but the days that followed, well, I wasn't happy being off it! But, that made me realize everything positive the LDN is doing for me, and will NEVER miss so many nites again....(nor do i get my scripts sent to me by Irmats either!)

Does anyone know exactly what Dr. Lawrence recommends? Months ago I also

heard a formula that was some number of days on 4.5, some number of days on

3 and some number off. Does anyone know that one?

Larry,

Did you know that Dr Lawrence in the UK (a Doctor who himself

has MS and takes LDN), recommends stopping the LDN periodically?

I don't know exactly why, but I think he believes that the

body develops an accomodation to it and this needs to be

controlled.

I can't speak for Dr Lawrence and what he himself does but

I think he says to stop LDN for maybe a night or two every

couple of weeks or even once a month.

Yes, I know. So far I haven't noticed much different. At 9am I realized I didn't take it. Guess this will be a good test to see how I am as the day goes on, and how I feel tomorrow.

Dr. Bihari says there is no accomodation, it's gone within 6 hours.

I had that same problem last week. I ordered my prescription the Friday before. Thought that I had plenty of time to get it. By the following Wednesday it hadn't come so I called and they said that they sent it last Friday when i called. The next day ( Thursday) I still didn't get it so I called cause I only had one more capsule. I told them to ship it over night. I got it the next day. I still haven't received the one that they said that they sent. So I guess that they never did send it. I already knew what it was like to go without cause I had forgotten one night and felt awful. Like a truck ran me over. Hope I never have to do that again.

I tried that method but it didn't help. Bob Lawrence has suggested

various different ways of taking LDN. They are all about avoiding

accommodation and so maintaining the maximum benefits for the longest

time.

I've heard that theory but it doesn't agree with the figures from the

manufacturer of Naltrexone. The half life is much longer than six

hours, it takes quite a few days to get out the system. Of course, the

amount is tiny but some people only need a trace to develop the

problems associated with accommodation.
