Skip from Skips pharm who fill my script of LDN transdermal cream said to stop LDN 3-4 prior to and then call when I can and they will tell me when to restart the cream. I'm having my fissure surgery on Tuesday. Just and FYI for those out there on LDN, it's recommended to stop LDN prior to surgeries.

I gather that is because narcotic pain meds will be used in the recovery? Good luck with the surgery. Does anyone know what happens if you were to take some oxycodone or percocet while on LDN? Does it just blunt the effectiveness of the pain killer or can one get sick i e react?

Ya know I didn't ask Skip, he did say wait to start AFTER I stop my pain medication. I believe I won't be in a lot of pain, but we'll see :) Thanks for writing back and thanks everyone else too for chiming in, I appreciate.
