New user. How long for effects to take in

[MarilynMonroe]

Hi I just started LSN 1mg 2x a day today for severe arthritis, degenerative disk disease, (chronic back pain)anxiety and depression. I am a 35 year old woman. Thanks so much!

Especially the anxiety and depression part

It's early days, and each of us are different. There's speculation that the length of time you've been dealing with a condition will predicate the time to see benefits. Some people get immediate relief, some like me take 4 months, some take up to a year. Patience is needed, LDN is a journey.

Twice a day dosing is unusual, most cases LDN is used that way are for depression. While I won't contradict your doctor, I will encourage you to go the Trust's website and do some research on your own to share with her/him. In particular, read about the mechanism of LDN and how/why it works.

Hope this is helpful.

I personally know of a 75 year old lady with severe rheumatoid arthritis all over her body, and when she started LDN 4 years ago, she went straight to 4.5 mg, taken at night and got relief within 48 hours and has been on since then. She's using a hard LDN pill produced pharmaceutically, not the compounded capsules made by a compounder. Contact the supplier with any questions you might have: eldeen.org. If requested they include a pill splitter with the first order so can split a 4.5mg pill cleanly in half and get approximately 2.2 mg per dose.
