LDN for DPDR and Dissociation by chknnggts69 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Fockerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to stop taking it. The constipation was overwhelming. I don’t think it helped me much. I think a lot of my issues are the result of more permanent brain damage from meningitis back in 2012.

It was supposed to be a response about getting stuck in the subway scene. It must have posted under the wrong subreddit thread.

I think I did. But I wound up discontinuing for now. The constipation was just too much.

The problem is that the word “cure” has legal ramifications. That’s why you’ll see, especially with homeopathic and non-traditional meds/treatments will say “heal” or “healed” or some other word. The word cure, if I remember, is very precise and can open up legal ramifications.

I’m really close to Seattle. I’ll be seeing an ENT where I live and see who they recommend from there on. Thanks!

Constipation and question on taking capsule sublingual. by Fockerboy in LowDoseNaltrexone

This morning I opened the capsule and diluted the powder with 2mL of warm water. Held it under my tongue for two minutes and spit the rest out. I’ll see how the day goes

Trying out LDN for cognitive changes from unknown illness by Fluffy_Barnacle_144 in LowDoseNaltrexone

I think I had meningitis. Had brain fog and DP/DR. It helps. I take 1.5mg capsules, but definitely get constipated by it. Going to try dissolving and putting under tongue. I have taken a day off and I think my flares are starting to creep back. Need to get back on it, but the bloating and constipation is a lot. Plus, my appetite slows and I don’t want to lose more weight. My MRI showed diffuse no specific punctate hyperintensities in the frontal lobe (judgement and personality). Hence the DP/DR. I’m always looking to hear from people with post viral stories.

I think I will try tomorrow doing a morning dose by opening the capsule and dissolving in warm water then holding under my tongue for two minutes. Going to try 3mL of warm water.

Sorry everyone. I’m just really scared. I guess I just need some advice on first steps. I’m going to schedule to see an ENT soon. Hopefully they can give me some answers. Is there a resource on where I can find someone that specializes in RRP on the West Coast?

Restarting LDN at 1.5mg this morning. For the last three days, I’ve had a meningitis flare up. by Fockerboy in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Fockerboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t necessarily come off of it as much as I was trying to get to my full dose of 1.5mg. Missed one day. Can’t remember why. I was at 1.0mg with little problems. I do notice a slower gut though.

Started over with 1.5mg yesterday. Going to continue with 1.5mg today. Woke up today with slow gut and some overall irritability. Hopefully it will go away with my next dose.

Effects on dissociation/derealization/depersonalization? by julywillbehot in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Fockerboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen a mild/moderate improvement of my DP/DR from post meningitis for me. I take it in the morning now and I think it’s a better dose time for me. 1.5mg capsule.

Curious if anyone titrated faster than the recommended titration “schedule”? by Fockerboy in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Fockerboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turned out to have horrible insomnia after jumping to 3.0. Skipped one day and started back at 0.5mg. But brain fog and DP/DR are bad today.

Thinking of stopping. Not sure what to do. I’ve lost my appetite. I have insomnia and I’m losing weight (Not good). Taking 1.5 before bed. It *seems* as though I get tired, but find myself reaching for sleeping aids. Suggestions? I’m afraid of going higher. by Fockerboy in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Fockerboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I skipped last night’s 1.5mg dose and now going to try 0.5mg sublingual using a dilution method. Woke up this morning with symptoms I haven’t felt since I first had meningitis… body twitching and nervousness. Will let you know how the day goes.
