Your LDN experience

[buddy99]

Does anybody have experience with taking LDN....good or bad? Please share why you took it and whether or not it worked for you. Thanks

Hi, yes I’m now in my 3rd month so have reached the usual maximum dose after slowly increasing. Upsets my stomach a little but otherwise helpful. Less fatigue, bit better sleep, allergies less severe and reduced need for T3. Medichecks test after 1 month showed I was over medicated whereas previous test showed I was then in the bottom third of range. I’ve reduced my T3 & will test again soon. Dickson Chemist in Glasgow are very efficient & arrange a phone consultation with a prescriber. Meds sent out by post. Generally I’m pleased with results.

Thank you Bertwills. Do I understand correctly that your FT3 went up on the LDN?

[Bertwills in reply to buddy99]

Yes. On the same dose, 50mcg T3 only I went from below middle range to above top range. Only change in my regime was adding in LDN. I think it is known to do this. I’m due another consultation very soon so I will discuss my results with the nurse practitioner. Hope that’s helpful.

Thanks again. Maybe I should have started with the LDN instead of the Cytomel to bring up the Ft3 from the bottom of the reference interval. But, I guess, this is what it is all about...experimenting till the solution is found. Just started T3, so will see how that works (compounded was a flop) and then ad LDN (if necessary) and take it from there. Thanks for all the info. Enjoy the weekend.
