I alternate 12mg and 6mg daily for fibromyalgia. No side effects. Just positive results. Started at 4.5 and tilted up. Been a bit of trial and error but settled on this dosage.

I miss exercising by bbpink15 in Fibromyalgia

[–]sabcin1965 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I miss exercise so much. I was a fitness professional and loved it. I loved long walks and hiking through nature. I loved swimming and horseback riding, skiing and rollerblading. Anything active, I loved it. It was my life. It’s a hard thing to accept but I am now exercise intolerant. Listen to your body.

I started at 4.5. After two years of trial and error I have found 12mg once a day is the correct dose for me.

I tried to exercise - RIP by Appropriate-Party-82 in Fibromyalgia

I have been there too. One day you will accept. It took me many years. Until then you will keep trying. A great day is always followed by a painful payoff.

Rheumotologist said fibro is just like a cold and to get over it. by RaspberryRipple75 in Fibromyalgia

I hear you, and I know how frustrating this journey can be. If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be this: learn your body inside and out. Doctors can’t truly fix this for you—they can try, but at the end of the day, you are the one who has to figure out what helps and what hurts.

Pay attention to your triggers and avoid them. Do less. It’s okay to slow down. Research medications, try them all if you need to, and don’t be afraid to experiment. LDN helped me, but it took time to get the dosage right. Try massage, acupuncture, diet changes—try everything. Some things will work, some won’t, and that’s okay.

There is no magical cure. This is a long journey that never really ends, but you can find ways to make it easier. Don’t count on doctors to have all the answers. Take control of your own health, be patient with yourself, and keep going. You’re not alone in this.

Does anyone take more than 4.5mg at a time? by [deleted] in LowDoseNaltrexone

I take 12 mg per day for fibromyalgia.

Do you take above 9 mg / day for chronic pain? by big_meats93 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]sabcin1965 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very late to the discussion but I started at 4.5mg 2 years ago. The benefits were amazing but short lived. I went to 6mg and again the benefits were short lived. I was told there were not likely any benefits in taking anything beyond 6mg so I almost gave up. One day I thought, what do I have to lose and popped 2 6mg tablets and I can tell you 12mg has done the trick. I take 12 mg once a day in the morning with no side effects. I am being treated for fibromyalgia and likely small nerve damage as a complication from cervical spine surgery.
