LDN

[Joanneconnor]

Anyone started LND I’m taking 2mg at night, I’m shattered and come home from work and sleep for 3 hours anyone else had this?

Hi Joanne I looked at LDN and saw it doesn’t work for everyone, so I’ve not tried it (yet). Just wondered if you started on a low dose of 0.5 and slowly increased? If so have you felt like this from the start or started your dose too high?

[Joanneconnor in reply to MissFG]

I started at 1.5 as I read anything lower than 1.5 doesn’t do anything but have gone more tired on 2mg

[MissFG in reply to Joanneconnor]

I got my research below and for hashimotos it’s important to start on 0.5. Could be why your so tired.

Ok how many weeks before upping the dosage?

[MissFG in reply to Joanneconnor]

It says for “Hashimotos, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia, the suggested starting dose is usually 0.5mg - 1.0mg and it is increased by 0.5mg a week until 4.5mg is reached”

Hope this helps! How long have you been on it?

Hello, may I ask who prescribed you LDN? My GP gives my Levothyroixine and says there’s nothing that can be done about antibodies which are higher each time I check I wonder if LDN could help if diet, lifestyle changes and levothyroxine don’t help.

I just googled it and found somewhere who does it but the only dose they had was 4.5 so I had to dilute it, hope that helps

Have you tried NDT ? For thyroid

[Joanneconnor in reply to Joanneconnor]

I’ve just finished Candida diet now on to leaky gut, and I feel so much better

[Joanneconnor]

I’ve been on it 10 days only just upped to 2mg, I might go down to 1mg

[MissFG in reply to Joanneconnor]

Maybe too much too soon. I think it’s like T3 you start low and build up slowly to avoid side effects.

It does also say....

“Patients with thyroid disease often have a strong auto-immune component.

Using LDN to dampen down the immune system often leads to a reduction in hypothyroidism and an improvement in symptoms. Patients with Thyroid disease must always be very careful when starting LDN as the results can be very fast – and rapidly cause hyperthyroidism if they do not reduce their Thyroid medication intake.”
