For anyone who has tried LDN. What dosage did you use? Did you build up the dosage? Anyone?

I do not use LDN, but what I have seen on the forum 4.5 mg is the dosage used. But I have heard some start lower and work their way up to avoid some of the sleep issues the med can cause. The most common side effect I heard was some insomnia and vivid dreams. Hugs!

My daughter started right away with the 4.5 mg and it worked well for her.

Thanks guys. My regular GI wasn't open to the idea. My fathers good friend who is a GP will most likely prescribe it for me. I'm going to talk to him with both of Dr. Jill Smiths studies on LDN and see what he thinks. I really want to try this before starting 6MP again.

I started at 4.5 and it gave me insomnia. I lasted about 2 weeks, backed off to 3, spend 2 weeks at that, raised it back to 4.5 -- worked like a charm. If I had it to do over again, I'd have just started at 3. I've been on 4.5 now for a couple years. good luck, it works great for me.

If you're in new jersey, why don't you consider just going to Jill Smith? That's what I do. She's in Hershey PA. My GP prescribes, but I check in with her now every 6 months or a year.
