I have been taking LDN for ME/CFS & Fibromyalgia for the last year after getting over the initial side effects and really slowly onto the full dose I have never felt any benefit from it.

I carried on for so long as I have read about some people getting benefit after a long time of being on it. I recently read about taking a "double dose" suggested by pharmacist Stephen Dickson so I am trying that before I come off it - unless it helps (fingers crossed! ;))

I was just wondering what other peoples experiences of LDN are has anyone else tried taking 2 x 4.5mg a day and found that it helped when taking one dose hadn't previously helped?

Thanks!

    Ooops didn't realise that!! :eek:

    Though as I wasn't asking for medical advice or anything just other people's experiences that it would be ok?

    If anyone wants to PM me feel free!
