Im on it for pain mainly. Im on 1.5mg and it works great for everything pain included even though I hope for even more pain relief when I take a higher dose. I have lyme so its muscle pain.

Firefly, that's so great. I just started. Do you have adrenal exhaustion? I am wondering if it could make that worse.
I have adrenal insufficiency or some such thing. On thyroid meds and also Dexamethasone because I don't make any cortisol. I can make it just don't. Nothing in that regard changed when I started taking the LDN in the a.m. But I had already started it in the evening before I saw Dr Kaufman and had all of the tests run so not sure.

I have to take a lower dose. I became so lightheaded today and dizzy and tired. My heart went nuts.
