My doctor suggested LDN and I agreed to try it. The first dose was very low and there were no side effects during this first month of treatment. Unfortunately, I developed some nasty gastrointestinal side effects when he titrated up to the next level and I had to stop taking it. I saw no improvement, but the dose was so low that I am not sure that improvement would be expected at that level. It did not make my CRPS worse, but again it was a very low dose. I am very sensitive to many drugs, but I will give new ones a chance because sometimes I can tolerate them.

My doctor prescribed this through a compounding pharmacy. Some compounding pharmacies have been under scrutiny for improper practices, so if you find one, I would google it and see if any warning flags popup. Perhaps someone knows a better way of checking out a pharmacy than simply googling them.

I personally would avoid buying this online especially if no prescription is needed.

Good luck with your search for the meds that will work for you.
