And Cherie...thank you soooo much for your help! What a blessing you are to all of us.
That hasn't changed, Brenda....3mg is an effective doseage for many on LDN. 4.5mg is the optimal doseage for those who can tollerate it, but not all can.

3mg is the original optimal doseage Dr. Bahari scripted. He found that some of his patients were not having optimal results with 3mg and so upped it to 4.5, but still scripts 3mg for those who have a lot of stiffness at 4.5..

I hope your Neuro or PCP will script LDN for you, but, if not (mine won't), there are MDs who will do a phone consult with you, who believe in LDN, and script it for you.
