Are you as ready as I was to try LDN?

The best place to start is with your doctor.

Do your research and print out information that will help you make your case that this is a cheap, approved drug that has zero side effects at the tiny dose that is used for treatment for MS. This works well for many.

If you get a prescription for compounded LDN, the best pharmacy is Skip's Pharmacy in Florida. Dr. Skip, as he is known by the LDN community, has worked tirelessly to increase the awareness of LDN, and is always available to help on the LDN newsgroups.

If you cannot get a prescription from your doctor, LDN is available over the internet at this pharmacy, for instance: NaltrexoneRx.com.mx. That is where many of us get it and they have excellent quality at a great price. They are associated with the "Clinica de Cuernavaca de la Vida y la Salud", the "Cuernavaca Clinic of Life and Health".

The Naltrexone is shipped almost instantly and you can make up your own solution. They are even happy to send instructions on how to disolve a 50 mg tablet in 50 ml of water and then drink the appropriate amount each evening. One tablet lasts from 10-30 days depending on the amount you are taking, so 10 tablets should be enough to get you started. If you have questions, they have exceptional Customer Service in English.

  

How to Take LDN

Step 1
Ideal dosage when treating most illnesses is 4.5mg, however many people prefer to start with the lower 3.0mg dosage. It is recommended that those with Crohn's Disease begin with 3.0mg and slowly work up to 4.5mg, since starting at the higher dosage may increase some of the Crohn's symptoms.

Step 2
Begin by taking 3.0mg each night before going to bed. Whether using compounded tablets or liquid LDN, drink a full glass of water with the low dose naltrexone. Continue taking 3.0mg for 1-4 weeks. If you experience side effects of anciness, or sleep disturbances, do not increase the dosage until side effects disappear.

Step 3
When side effects subside, increase dosage to 3.5mg each night. Continue for 1-4 weeks, then increase to 4.0mg for 1-4 weeks, finally, increase to 4.5mg and maintain this dosage.

Step 4
Keep a symptom log. Track all Crohn's symptoms and LDN side effects, so you can see at a glance how the low dose naltrexone effects you.

Step 5
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about each dosage increase.
