You know, years ago a doc had me take LDN. I forget the dose but I had capsules compounded. Maybe 3.5 mgs. They kept me up all night. I KNOW i did not start low and build up but I don't think I got sick from them.
Thanks everyone. I will take it slow. How long before anyone had good results on LDN?
I just got some 50mg tablets of naltrexone. They're scored, so I'll be starting with a 25mg size. Who's got a brilliant, easy way to turn 25mg into 50 doses?
Do I need to use distilled water? Does it have to be kept in the fridge? How do you crush it superfine?
I'm taking this as a sleep aid. I hear of people taking it in the morning, and also at night. Do you think it's safe to take it at 10 pm my first night? As long as I don't get a panic attack, not sleeping is tolerable if I guess wrong. Or I could just take it in the morning and see what happens.
I just started on 3mg last night (first time taking it). If I was going to get sick for taking too much too soon how quickly would it happen?
No rules on that. 3 mgs is a hefty dose to start with. Try it for a while and see what happens!
Best wishes,
Sushi
