hi, 20 y/o male with bipolar (1) disorder. My doctor recommended LDN to help with mood and sleep issues as well as some persistent pain and inflammation. I’m about a week into it, started at 1 mg (I assume because I’m a bigger guy and tend to be drug resistant my “low dose” starting point was higher than most?) and my sleep has done a complete 180, I’ve been able to sleep consistently for the first time in years. This morning however I woke up extremely depressed (worse than any of my depressive episodes in the last few years) and was sobbing uncontrollably while trying to leave my house to go to class. I am usually not a crier, like to the point where I cry maybe once every 2-3 years and never is it a severe breakdown but this morning I felt myself in full blown panic unable to stop sobbing when seemingly nothing caused it. Has anybody else had a similar experience? Should I see about a lower dose or just try to push through?
