Caroline,

You might want to read the information on this link.

One of the posters says that if a person gets constipated after using LDN the cause is yeast. One work around discussed is the use of LDN transdermally, but addressing a yeast problem might be a good idea.

I have read that you can go higher, up to 10mgs. I have also read that the higher dose can be divided and taken AM and PM.

Where you making the LDN yourself or getting it from a compounding pharmacy? There is information that compounding pharmacies do not always compound the drugs up to full potency-in fact some compounds actually have no potency. I also wonder if the filler used could cause constipation.

Please read the information in the link. If the filler is calcium carbonate it can cause constipation and if the pill made with this is packed too tight it can prevent the desired release necessary to allow LDN to work.

I hope you don't mind that I posted this. I am trying to learn all I can about LDN and why some people have success and others failure, because I intend to do whatever I can to be in the former group.

Researching LDN brings up issues. Many are denied access to getting LDN, because their doctors will not prescribe it for them. The ones who can get LDN may or may not be getting the prescribed amount, based on the way the drug is compounded/ filler used.
