I started learning about LDN early this past December and got a prescription for & started taking 1.5mg mid December. 3 weeks later I increased dosage to 3mg. A month and a half later, I had not really felt much improvement in pain and actually might say the pain was slightly worse - although it is hard to say in retrospect because it could have been a flare - so I stopped taking it for 3 weeks. just over 3 weeks ago from today, I got a new prescription, from another doctor this time to start on 0.5 mg; although the doses this time were sublingual and the pharmacist mentioned that the 0.5 mg would be better absorbed into the bloodstream and have a greater relative effect than the 1.5 mg pills I was previously taking. Now on this dose I wouldn't say pain is any better, maybe a bit worse not much so I don't feel I need to stop, but I am unsure about the effectiveness overall. The 2nd doctor which prescribed the sublingual ultra-low dose naltrexone indicated that if no effect at all was noticeable after 2 weeks it most likely wouldn't work at all, despite the plan to slowly increase dosage. However I don't want to give up just yet on LDN and remember reading online that it can take up to 3 months, or even 6 months for some people to work? What have your experiences been? Anyone had a similar experience?
