Default Ldn

I took 4.5 LDN for close to a month..since all my symptoms started in early October and the symptoms have been changing it's hard for me to say if it was going to work. Also, I have been prescribed so many medications since this started I think I got overwhelmed. So I stopped everything today and I am only going to take gabapentin and nortriptyline fir now. I just saw a neurologist who prescribed melexicane which is supposed to help with pain so I will give it try. I may also revisit the LDN at some point.

Also, if you use Facebook there is a group called Got Endorphins. Everyone in the group uses LDN for a variety of conditions. Its a nice group of supportive people. You may want to join the group and ask them,

I think that LDN needs longer than a month to work, at least that is what I was told by the clinician who prescribed mine.

I take gabapentin (2400mg), nortriptyline (25mg) and LDN (3mg) without any issues.

Decided to continue with the LDN. You are right, one month is not long enough!!!!

Good deal. I'd give it 3-6 months, as long as it isn't causing any side effects. One of the major complaints that I've heard people say is that they can't sleep well on it. The work around for that is to try taking it in the morning instead of the night.
