Yes, I get mine from Skip's Pharmacy in Boca Raton, FL. He sends it priority mail.

taking 4.5mg LDN at night - 2.5 mg at lunch - helping me sleep thru the night

taking 2 capsules 4-AP 5mg breakfast and dinner = 20mg daily - can go to 30mg daily but haven't noticed much of a difference so decided to stay with the 4 capsules daily

Did your Doc prescribe your LDN doseage or Skip? I have been on 4.5mg per night for 9yrs and have always taken it at the prescribed, by Dr Bahari, time, between 10pm & 3am (me-midnight). Anything over 5mg, according to Dr Bahari, is too much'

I would be very interested in knowing how your LDN was prescribed, by who, and why? How long have you been on it?... And, is it working for you.

Thanks

Dr Sullivan located in Pennsylvania prescribed LDN - have been on it 2 years - the most I've noticed is being able to sleep through the night - that in itself a huge leap forward - take it when I go to bed - usually midnight - the 2.5 at lunch - haven't noticed a difference really

Sally, Dr. S told me to take an additional 4.5 mg capsule at noontime, too, when I complained about sapsticity in my legs keeping me from sleeping. I tried it and it made the spasticity worse. So I'm back to just one capsule between 1-3 AM.

I think Doc Sullivan is trying diff strokes for diff folks, which is ok, but I hope he tell patients that it is a trial and to never stop taking the correct amount at bedtime.

He is my LDN Doc too and has never suggested any different doseage to me, but then I don't complain. I'm pretty happy with how it seems to be working for me.

Carry on..

when I called for consult he asked how I was doing - I said getting worse - which I am - then he suggested maybe 2.5 at lunch might help - it didn't
