Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Steve, I have RRMS, and have seen remarkable results in my three months of taking LDN......but the changes have been ever-so-sligh. With a more severe form of MS, is it posible that you are just not " seeing " the slight changes? It is something which might take longer to actually " see,or feel " changes as they are happening. Please do not give up on the drug, as there has been so much success. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The changes were obvious when I started LDN in October 2002 and I seemed to be improving. That lasted three months. After that the MS carried on down hill. The side effects got worse as well so I needed to reduce the dose. I could no longer cope with the cramps and muscle stiffness of 4.5mg but I was OK with 3mg. However after a year even 3mg was making my legs too rigid to tolerate. > > Please do not give up on the drug, as there has been so much >success. > I haven't given up on LDN but I only take 1.5mg now. On that dose I have no leg stiffness or cramps. It may be helping, my symptoms have leveled off. It's difficult to know what is happening because PPMS can have long periods when it does not get any worse regardless of the drugs being taken.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 ,I am treating cancer and asthma - and I take my LDN in the morning. Like you I tried taking it at night but the sleep disturbance was relentless and I had to stop that. Our immune systems don't work properly when we don't get enough sleep.If I were you I would try LDN at other times of day and find what works best. I know of other people who take their LDN during the day - most often in the morning - and have great effects from it. I recently had a scan showing no disease progression, no tumors at all.Plus I feel great.I hope this helps.JackieFrom: kaaren white <kaarenw1@...>Subject: [low dose naltrexone] ldn and ppmslow dose naltrexone Date: Monday, June 28, 2010, 5:07 AM I am wondering if I should take the LDN in the a.m. morning instead of evening ...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 i volunteer on a ptsd site and have ptsd myself, so vivid dreams can always be a problem. not yet on LDN (very very soon, within a couple of wks now), but a man on the site has been telling me about his experience with naltrexone. he takes 50mg every morning. i'm exactly like you, kay, a night owl who feels the best at night, the most energized. i may try morning as well. best ~laura in oregon http://moineauenfrance.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 He takes 50 mg every morning?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? If he does he is not using low dose. Low dose is typically 3 mg or 4.5 mg. Just an observation. I am also a night owl and have been taking my LDN at night plus a sleep aide (Melatonin Sleep Science from Whole Foods - Source Naturals made specifically for Whole Foods). The two together seem to knock me out within a half hour or so. I sleep better than I have for ... well ever really - and I am more rested. Night owl + has to go to work in the morning is not a great combo so actually being able to go to sleep at a reasonable time and sleep well is a blessing.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Once I got my night time saliva cortisol levels down to normal using phosphorylated serine I changed from being a night owl to one who wants to go to sleep prior to 11:00 at night. It used to be common for me to be doing something at 3:00 AM. Being 100% gluten free has made a huge difference in my cortisol levels and now being on LDN I find I sleep better than I have in years and years, and have eliminated the Phos serine and other things I used to take for sleep other than 3 mg melatonin.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I forgot to mention I am also on 20 mg hydrocortisone split in 3 doses four hours apart for worn out adrenals. I tried 's program with adrenal extracts and that just was not enough, I now realize. For the first time in over 30 years I am having some semblance of health and energy. Fibro, Hashi, adrenal insufficiency, celiac and RA. My blood pressure is better and my mood is brighter. Friends notice the difference.
