I have low tolerance for meds, especially opiates. One tablet of Percocet will knock me out for hours. I was taking tramadol for a couple of weeks...it was immediate helpful for pain but there was no way I could take it consistently without becoming a mummy. Also, I had a nasty crash due to taking Celexa and tramadol too close together.
That being said, LDN brought my pain level from 8-9 to 2-3 on a 10 point scale. Actually, I didn't notice the effect immediately...it took several weeks before I realized that it had been awhile since I'd had a day of pain where I just wanted to roll up in a ball and cry.
So, my only negatives is that at first I wasn't sure it was doing anything. And, I have joint pain (mostly wrists, ankles, and fingers) that LDN doesn't impact at all.
I really hope you get a combo that works for you @Misfit Toy. I've seen a number of your posts and my heart always breaks for you at the amount of pain you experience. Sending you hugs!!
