I have been taking 1.5mg of Naltrexone @ bedtime for four nights now. I have been noticing that I fall asleep better (also listening to my relaxation tape), and my head is a little clearer in the morning! Is this possible in short amt of time?? My pain, from the Fibro, is about the same though. I am hoping and praying that in the weeks ahead the Fibro pain will calm down.
Please tell me your experiences with this medication. I have heard that people taking 3mg have intense side effects. I have not heard people taking more than 3mg.
Hi Linda. Good for you! I think that's great. I think the trick to LDN success is not having glaring side effects in the beginning. Some people are able to eliminate all other fibro drugs after being successful with LDN for about a year or so. Sounds like you could be on the way!
Doesn't work for me. Side effects are baaad pain. It doesn't make sense, but my body said "no!". I even tried taking half the stuff out of a 1 mg capsule and the .5 even caused it. My fibro doc said it doesn't work for everyone.
I know the LDN group on facebook has real good discussions. I learned from them that it really should be increased very slowly. So, you might want to go to 2mg and then 2.5, etc. The other thing is that every one seems to settle on a different dose. You will know.
