I think Skip uses a mild filler ( I forget the neme) that noone seems to be allergic to...Yet.. I know, I didn't like lactose or cornstarch fillers..and since I've been getting them from skips...no problems.

I use Skip's, too, and have had no problem. They're so nice and helpful.....what a concept!! I wish all pharmacies were like that!

I'm not sure what Skip uses, but it is mild. Perhaps it is lactose or avicil. Lactose and avicil are good for most people I think, but I suppose people can be sensitive them too. They are two of the "fastest release" fillers that I am aware of, and this is an important aspect for LDN. I've also heard some pharmacies using acidophilis, which seems like it might be another good option for some people. I think it is Calcium Carbonate that is the BAD filler, cause it is too slow release. Anyone ordering from Skip's can find out what he is using, and/or what the other options he might have. Cherie

Skip uses avicel, which is wood cellulose.
One thing about LDN that differentiates it from other drugs is that it is only in your system for a few hours. The low dose, taken at bedtime, stimulates endorphin production. The benefits people experience are from the increase in their own endorphins, not LDN itself. I've been taking LDN since 2005. I started at 3 mg, increased to 4.5, had some increased spasticity with that and went back to 3 mg. It isn't the only drug I take for MS. I also take Copaxone, and Estriol. I had some definite progression while on "LDN only". However, I stay on it because it improves my bladder and bowel control/function, my energy levels, my mood and my metabolism. There's also no way to know how much progression I would have had if I weren't on LDN.
