I read LDN helps rid the brain of excess Glutamate. This follows..

"Thus, while the Mayo researchers propose finding ways to block glutamate, the benefits of low dose naltrexone and beta lactam antibiotics lie in their ability to reduce glutamate excess"

I was looking into amino acids to boost growth hormone to heal me quicker from exercises. Glutamine is what's in 1 of the combo pills. The other is L-Ornithine + L-Arginine.

I never found any one that could tell me the difference between Glutamine, Glutamate, Glutamic Acid.
Glutamic Acid = 1 of the 4 Copaxone ingredients.
Glutamate = no good by what I read for us.
Glutamine = ?

Eddie, you're really getting good at this research stuff. I wish I could help you but I am still feeling a bit sick from my recent infections. Yucky..sleepy.

My brain is so foggy, I'm not functioning on all cylinders. I napped most of the day, now I'm up with the night owls.

I am still taking my LDN, it is still is helping me.
later..

Default Medication question

Can anyone tell me if it is okay to take my LDN, Neurontin and Zanflex at the exact same time? I normally have taken my LDN and Zanaflex, but now my neuro has added the neurontin.

I take them around 10:30 to 11:00 PM
Just wanted to make sure I can take all of these in the same mouthful!!

Skip is my chemist....so I should call.

How much would you separate them?

Why didn't you like Neurontin?

Hi Daisy,
I would check them out with Skip too. I weaned off of Neurontin to go on LDN. I was up to 3600 mg of Neurontin and it stopped helping me. I took Neurontin for 5 to 6 years. I had to wean off very, very slowly. It is for sensory symptoms, and is sleep inducing for some.

It is really for Epilepsy but used off-label for MS.

Some people take small doses. What dose are you starting on? It is addictive, believe me. Your body craves it after a while. Some people can't take it at all.

If you decide to take all three. Please space them. JMO
