I’m historically really sensitive to medications, so when I was initially prescribed LDN, I started really low, at 0.1mg. I took it for about two weeks and noticed
- weird spotting like I was on my period but I wasn’t, and I have really regular periods from being on the pill forever
- severe constipation, like, wouldn’t have pooped for a week if I hadn’t used a suppository when I usually poop daily
- the worst one, noticeable depression/suicidal thoughts when I’m not depressed typically. It started slowly, by the time I realized I stopped immediately and in a few days I felt normal again
I will say my gut didn’t go back to normal for weeks and that was super frustrating
After that I tried 0.5mg, and only lasted two days with the same side effects, but stronger
Went back to my doctor this month and he said to maybe give the 1.5mg a shot, and that sometimes people have paradoxical responses at super low dosages. I really would love for LDN to work, it’s such a miracle drug for so many people, and I’m really struggling with fatigue and inflammation. But I’m terrified to try the higher dose. Has anyone had any experience with this??
