LDN FOR FIBRO

[ratoncita]

My doctor suggested I try LDN for Fibro. Has anyone else tried it?

A family member just started LDN for a brain injury and told me last week it has been recommended for fibromyalgia. I have not tried it, but open to hearing from anyone with FM as to its effectiveness.

My doctor prescribed it for me but I read about all the side effects from others and I still haven’t tried it.

Side effects? Like what?

[Entela15]

headaches, insomnia etc

Was yours compounded? I’ve not experienced anything except vivid dreams (not nightmares) and have been sleeping better!

I’ve been on 4.5mg LDN for about 6 months and it has changed my life. My pain mgmt Dr prescribes it. I’ve had FMS with MPS for two years. Before ldn I could do one simple task and be done for and now I can do all the things I want in moderation throughout the day without having to question much (until the end of the day). If there are side effects, I haven’t noticed any. I also take 25mg of Seroquel for bipolar depression so I’m quite a mess esp with the two together since they play off each other. Anyways, I hope this was helpful. I don’t think enough people know about LDN for fibromyalgia and I wish they did. My primary care doctor and psychiatrist also recommended I take it and said they saw patients have great improvement of symptoms.

Thank you! I have fibro as well as myofascial pain syndrome and have an appointment with my doctor this week, so will definitely ask about it!

I’ve only upped my dose to 3.00 mg and no antidepressant just thyroid and blood pressure medication. And, I’ve learned that it can also act as an antidepressant.

LDN is Low Dose Naltrexone and it is compounded by pharmacists. For more info go to: ldnresearchtrust.org/

There is also a book “The LDN Book”

Haven't tried it because I can't afford it. What has been your experience with it?
