Hi, Madison... I have heard of LDN in several different forums for overlapping issues I have (chronic virus, fibro, neuropathy). I'm wondering how you have succeeded getting a RX for it, when it doesn't seem to be FDA approved in the US for chronic pain conditions? Did you bring the suggestion to your doctor and he approved of it or was it his/her suggestion to you? Also, it doesn't seem to be compounded in the low dosage here in the US, so how do you get it dispensed? I'm going back to pain management in January, and I'd like to go as informed and prepared as possible. I found a PubMed review on LDN that I think I'll bring with me, but it all seems very experimental at this point. I've tried so many things; so many side effects. Currently, I'm on gabapentin and nortriptyline, too, but low doses of both. Thanks!
