hello Mom ldn is lose dose naltraxone, it is not the same as the dose used for ex junkies which tends to be in 50 mg increments. LDN is a dose that starts at 1.5 mg and will range to 4.5 mg. for some reason the low dose works, one draw back is pain meds may not be a good idea because the opiates in LDN can inhibit the pain meds and you could end up taking too much pain meds cause they are not working. That being said Aleve works wonders. I am on it and am happy about it so far and was able to stop 5 or 6 meds with pain meds included

here is the link to the thread and it has some links within to direct you to a web page or two about LDN

the thread is at the top of this forum, in case you had not found it by now

A major problem with this med seems to be the neuro's themselves, number of them have no idea about it and others immediately think of the junkie dose saying whooooaa nelly

hope some of this helps


peace
