Phew, no wonder you are called "TwinkleToes" . . . I can't even read fast enough to keep up with your progress.

I started at 3.0mg, and I did have some minor/transitory side-effects. I know others who've started at 4.5 mg, with no issues at all . . . but I am sensitive to meds.

The reason I thought 1.5 mg was a good start for you though, was because you mentioned that other condition, and because you already had the rx for 1.5 mg. I really don't think LDN is going to affect your other condition, but understandably your doc will want to keep an eye on that as you transition higher.

I really just wanted you to know that you aren't likely to see much (if any) improvement in symptoms at that dosage, AND, to let you know that you will have to move up to get much benefit.

I was going to say that I think Skip's has the best reputation for compounding LDN, even if there was this initial glitch. A number of people have tried other compounders, but the pharmacy needs to be up on what fillers are the best, and you don't want them crushing Revia (50 mg pills of Naltrexone) when they compound into smaller dosage capsules. Some fillers make the drug too slow release, and Skip uses the PURE Naltrexone powder to compound . . . so I think he is the preferred source in the US.

He is also great about talking one-on-one to anyone who has concerns along the way . . . and that is priceless.

I use a local compounder (in Vancouver) because it is just too slow getting it across the border. Mine is compounded into a liquid though, so I don't have to worry about "fillers" in a capsule.
