LDN without prescription?

Yes, Garzie does this with a syringe. Here's part of his comment on it:

it has to be carefully tailored to the individual - and typically with lyme etc started on v low doses (0.5mg / day or less) and only very gradually increased until your response is understood and then matched to rate of increase

i don't think this can be done for most people here with compounding - as the dose steps will be too big.
this seems to be where most LLMD's fall down - they just prescribe an average dose and wait and see what happens.

for this reason i buy the full dose tablets 50mg - dissolve each in 50ml of liquid - and dose it 1mg per ml with a 1ml graduated syringe.
with this method you can dose from as little as 0.1mg upwards in 0.01mg increments -

is also very inexpensive - less than $5 per month.

Sure thing. I think he gets his from buy-pharma.md or the other ones like alldaychemist.com etc.

It would come from India so it might take a while to get there.

I get mine from agelessrx. Super easy process. https://agelessrx.com/ldn/

just to emphasise - its not a normal drug that a person just takes at a standard dose and that's that
most of the people who either fail to get any benefit - or cannot tolerate it - have tried to use it like that - or been prescribed it like that by their doctor.

its a very unusual substance that acts on our endocrine system and influences our immune system via that route - for people with dysregulated immune systems or chronic infections - go too quick and you can make yourself quite sick - not take enough - and you will notice nothing and write it off.

hence the approach i describe - which is in line with the LDN research trust advice for people with lyme etc
start very low and go very slow - even 0.5mg a day may be too much to start with

the actual start dose is not that important - lower is better than too high - as you will gradually ramp up till you start to feel effects - then go slower - so you find what is right for you

many LLMD's seem unaware of this and instead just prescribe it at a fixed dose - as that's what is done with most drugs and that's what they prescribe via a compounding pharmacy -

but it does not give the fine control needed to ramp up gradually with lyme - the liquid and syringe method is much much better for this

What exactly does it do with the endocrine system?

Thanks for the follow up Garzie.

I’m signing up for the monthly plan which starts on a higher titration approach (1.5 vs .5) with the intent to dilute similar to you and stretch the supply. Probably going to start at .25 or .5.

Do you do anything to avoid microbe growth in the liquid? I was thinking store in fridge or cut with alcohol like a tincture?

Do you take in am or pm? I’ve also read some split their dose am/pm to spread the benefits more evenly.

good thinking loski
yes, i mix it with 38g pure water and 10g of 96% ethanol for a total of 50ml - approx 20% alcohol stops microbial action - and i keep it in the fridge for good measure.

not sure if its totally necessary - but when my doses were small a batch would last a long time and i was more concerned with microbial breakdown altering my dosing in the early stages when i was v sensitive to it.

i tried taking it at night - but found it interfered with sleep - esp during the ramp up phase ( probably not now i am on a stable dose ) so i switched to am dosing - as per LDN research trust
