I Would Like To Hear About Your Experience With Low Dose Naltrexone - What To Expect

Hi Tano
I tried it before i was diagnosed with lyme - for the same reason as you - pain.

It didn't work for me. I started low and slowly increased - I think I gave it 6-8 weeks.

What is strange is - during that period of trying the LDN is when my pain started happening at night. I used to just have pain during the day...and when i went to sleep - no pain.

But since the LDN trial I now feel the pain in the night.....when I wake up I am conscious of the pain.
Probably just a coincidence...

Girly and Schmen, THANK YOU !!

Schmen, I will dedicate myself to allowing it a good long time for some positive results

I took it for two days and had a severe increase in all over body pain, so my LLMD told me to stop taking it. Hope it works better for you.

I think it was .5 mg. Very low.

My point in sharing that is that it doesn't work for everyone. Hopefully it works for you!

It is a prescription med - but you need to get a compounding Pharmacy to fill it.
Make sure you fill the first prescription in low doses so you can start at low dose and raise it incrementally. When you determine what the optimal dose is then you can get the prescription in larger doses.

I did discuss the filler with the Pharmacist as I had previously read about it on the LDN website - can't remember now what filler I requested.

I started LDN in February in the hopes of modulating my immune system. My LLMD started me on 1.5mg and I titrated up to 4.5mg.

So far, the only noticeable difference is that my thyroid function improved somewhat (I've needed a lower dose of the T3 thyroid hormone replacement I take. However, I'm still taking a higher dose than what I was taking before my Lyme Dx).

The LDN website indicates that only certain compounding pharmacists produce quality LDN:

Thanks for the replies everyone

I am fortunate to be 10 minutes from a one-owner compounding pharmacy - we will see :D
