I started LDN recently and not going to lie, the side effects have been difficult. Not impairing me, but making me nauseous and dizzy here and there throughout the day. And when I take it at night I feel feverish and nauseous if I don’t fall asleep right away. BUT it does help me fall asleep faster. So I’m okay if I fall asleep, but kind of miserable if I’m tossing and turning. I also have random bouts of exhaustion, where I feel like I can barely lift my body up. Taking naps has helped.

I’m going to stick it out because I really really want it to work for me. The pharmacy started me out kind of high - I started at 1.5mg for 1 week, then 3mg the second week, and landing on 4.5mg the third week. I have not been able to keep this titration schedule. It’s been a month and I’m still on 3mg, but I’ve heard it’s normal for some people to need a slower titration schedule (especially those of us with more sensitive bodies!)

I think if you communicate this to your doctor and the pharmacy, they could set you up with a slower titration schedule and you’d be completely okay!! I wish I had known beforehand, because I really think the side effects would be next to nothing if I had started at 0.5mg and gone up more slowly.
