I use Low Dose Naltrexone 4.5 mg, as prescribed from my Pain Management Doctor for chronic pain due to Autoimmune Disease. I take it in the evening before bed. There was a point I was not sure if it helped, so I stopped it (under my doctor’s supervision), and realized it really does help!!!! Happy to read other people are getting relief as well! I’ve had no side effects…it is like taking a vitamin, to me.

[@fickleemu4life401]

I'm on my 6th month of ldn. It really helps with pain and inflammation, but I'm still somewhat inflammed. I'm on 4.5 mg and wonder if I should go up on it. My rheumatologist suggested possibly going up, but I hope it won't lose its antiinflammatory effect at a higher dose. I think gluten and dairy may be sources of inflammation for me but I'm not sure. So good to hear Drs who care about getting to the root source of the problems with their patients. That's so rare these days. Thank you both for sharing your thoughts.

[@caroledevlin4436]

Don’t go up! Get health instead. I refer you to dr. Jason Fung.

[@ikyathay2998]

What tests did you do for inflammation?

[@rebeccakahrs7290]

I would strongly urge you not to go up. I did great on it till I went up to 4.5…..and then my inflammation came back. I went off for a while to reset and start back and it has never been as effective.

[@BriBorgersen]

Gluten and dairy are definitely sources of inflammation!

[@xylmorph8297]

Simple- just give up wheat and dairy for a month and you will see. I’m surprised a doctor prescribed LDN without you getting off of those. It’s possible you would not even need the LDN Once you get off inflammatory trigger foods

What happens if you are taking the full 50mg to help with alcohol cravings? Is it the same medicine but in a much bigger dose - therefore helps with autoimmune deficiency if you have these issues too?

[@ivanmamula7588]

There's something called isomer activation at those higher doses, plus it's liver toxic at 50mg as well not a good idea unless you absolutely must use it due to alcohism, but at 4.5 it still helps with alcohol cravings.

[@chromaticgeckos3433]

I just started for alcohol cravings since I used to drink and I get so sick when I do now... I have Crohn's and I am experiencing the most relief I ever had, I'm impressed! I take 50mg and people are on 100mg for years so idk about worrying about liver toxicity - it's generally a very safe drug. Don't let people who don't know what they're talking about deter you from trying it. I mean there are studies where they give this to alcoholics with liver cirrhosis and they live longer lol. If it was that liver toxic I doubt you'd see increased lifespans or they would even prescribe it

[@KarinSchweizer-b4g]

I'm taking 1mg a day for only 3 days so far. I noti ed that my desire to have a drink around 6.00 pm had gone totally. Hope this might be helpful. You have to considera which dosis Is good for you.

LDN is fantastic. I have been taking it for over 4 years for Hashimotos. But recently my antibodies started to climb again. On speaking to the pharmacy I get it fom it was suggested I stop for a couple of weeks then start titration up from 0.5ml each week or so. Because i take a lot of vit d (which I am going to cut by 50%) which is also an anti inflammatory it is possibly causing a reduction in the LDN efficacy. Think of it as too many workers fighting to do a similar job! I would rather take the LDN😊 It helps in so many other ways.
