SO I got a LDN prescrion for 4.5mg

My dose of LDN (pill form) @ 3mg ended so I went to see the alternative doctor to get a higher prescription for 4.5mg. I got it and I hope it will do something. I cannot get the transdermal LDN so no point of you mentioning it because the doctor doesn't want to write a prescription for it and he says the pill form works better. So that's that.

Anyways, I had some weird ass dream last night. I still remember it now, like it was a movie. I was eating supper or lounging with my parents in the dining room. It was twilight time. All a sudden, I feel big huge earthquake going on with some crazy alien sound ringing.....I scramble out in the backyard....and the whole world is like shaking and crap with huge Tinnitus like sound. Very alien like sound. It feels like the end of the world.

Then I wake up immediately and go W.T.F. was that. Then I go..woooooo.....and go back to sleep.

Later on, I think I woke up to crap some blood....for sh.its and giggles. Then I went back to bed.

Thank God, I'm a heavy sleeper. I can go to sleep in record times.

If I get another weird movie dream, I'll share it again even if you don't care...

Hope the higher dose helps you. I know you've been trying forever now to get into remission.

Sweet!
I started 4.5mg 2 nights ago, dreaming a bit but not quite that vivid yet. Still today was good 1 bm instead of the 6 on Friday.

Good luck sounds like we're on a similar journey

Somedude,

So glad to hear you got on 4.5mg LDN.

What filler did you get? I hope, sucrose?

Don't forget that if you are on SCD or something close to it, in terms of dairy and wheat and gluten free, you will get faster results.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

It says:

Naltrexone 4.5mg Capsule (in vegicaps)

Jimbo,
So it looks like yours is a cellulose filler.


Somedude,

Just for informational's sake, I would suggest you call your compounding pharmacist and find out. As you know some fillers can be problematic.


I HOPE IT WORKS FOR BOTH OF YOU! [img]/community/emoticons/yeah.gif[/img]

Im going to call...but I'd be surprised if it's anything but gluten and dairy free. The place I bought it from is a holistic shop and all of them ...the staff included are on gluten/dairy free crusades.

Somedude,
I am more concerned about the filler being:
lactose, or slow-release, or avicel- as those are problematic.

I would be much happier knowing your filler is hypoallergenic (which is sucrose).

Let me know when you find out.

I lack a bit in pill knowledge.

Maybe I'm not understanding your question. What is a filler? Is the filler a capsule that holds the powder(the med)?

Good luck Somedude. Hope it works for you.

Insofla,

I called Smith's pharamacy (thats where they make it) and they are using:

AVICEL – a brand name for microcrystalline cellulose. Avicel
has been used safely and effectively for 35 years in the food
and pharmaceutical industries. Virtually inert, it is not absorbed
into the system, and will not interfere or interact with other
nutrients, vitamins or minerals. Avicel is made of wood which
has been purified and powdered into extremely tiny particles --
between 0.000039 and 0.0001560 of an inch of pure fiber,
with the consistency of a very fine face powder.

apprentely they said it's a fast release.

Somedude,

The Avicel filler is the one I had a reaction to, and that some have problems with.

FYI, be on the lookout for: headaches, cramping, loose stools.

I hope that it works for you and you start seeing some positive changes.

Are you on gluten, wheat, dairy free diet?

Somedude said...
yes i am on all of those.

Yes, I am on a strick gluten free dairy free diet, I already mentioned in a thread before. I''ve been on it for over 3 months now (strict). I take the LDN between 10:30 pm and 12:00 am. Whenever I go to bed.

LDN is not a miracle drug, it might work for some and might not for others.

I already did all that I can do to aquire the LDN. I feel I did ENOUGH. If the avicel filler is not satisfactory (which accoding to smith pharmacy it is and the LDN site has smith pharmacy as reputable site, then that's that.

Now, it's up to my body and this LDN med to cooperate.

LDN is not a miracle drug, it might work for some and might not for others.

Are you saying that you don't believe that IBD is the result of a chronic deficiency of LDN?

Sure. And headaches are the result of aspirin deficiency. Bloody diarrhea is the result of prednisone deficiency. And Chronic fatigue syndrome should be renamed chronic caffeine deficiency.

I have nothing against LDN. Of all the meds out there it appears that LDN is very effective with few side effects. I really do hope that LDN or something finally works for you.
