LDN side effects eye irritation + light sensitivity

[Rambling9]

Hi

I've trialed LDN for hypothyroidism over the last few months. The regular liquid which you ingest gave me awful gastritis so (understanding this is a usual side effect) I moved to sublingual drops.

These have caused eye irritation, dry gritty eyes and light sensitivity to the extent that I'm blinking all the time. This doesn't seem to be an expected side effect and I was imagining all sorts of horrors re thyroid eye disease etc. However, I stopped taking the drops a few days ago and these symptoms have improved.

Have others experienced similar? I was up-titrating the drops increasing by 0.5 every 2 weeks and only got up to 1.5 (3 drops) Has anyone pushed through these symptoms with a positive outcome? Right now I'm ready to give up the experiment!

With thanks

that sounds like bad luck. I have to use sublingual drops to as my stomach couldn’t tolerate the drops that you swallow. I haven’t had any eye side effects but I have been told that some of the excipients in the sublingual drops aren’t great. I wonder if you could try a different brand, though I don’t think there are many. You could try a different clinic?
