Someone put a hyphen between my middle and last names, so they couldn't find it on the computer.

Now then, this is what Phil, the pharmacist told me during our little chat.

He said that nearly everyone starts at 1.5 mg. for 1 month, then 3 mg. for the second month, then ramps up to 4.5 the third month. This is to hopefully avoid the possible side-effects of "sleep loss and transient slight leg spasms."


I asked him what he knew about LDN's effectiveness with Crohn's disease. He said there was a Dr. Jill Smith at the Univ. at Penn State who had completed a clinical trial on Crohn's patients. He said they had an 85% success rate, with at least one patient going into full remission after 1 month. I got the idea it wasn't a big trial, but still, those numbers are very encouraging. I will have to share this with my bff who just got dxd and has been so very sick.


BTW, a 1 month prescription is $9.95!!!
