Hi.
We had our GI appointment today and the dr mentioned having Danny try LDN. (He said he had one patient that it helped and one patient that it did not impact.) Danny has tried LDN before, over 2 years ago it was prescribed by an alternate MD, and we stopped (after about 1 month) because it did cause some sleep & dream issues and we really did not see any benefit. I realize now that we should really try it for 4-6 months.
I am wondering what dose we should try & when to take it. (Our GI admits he needs to research this for us.) I am not sure what dose he was given 2 years ago but will try to find out. I read that for those with sleep disturbance, starting with a lower dose and ramping up may be better.
Everything I am reading (except for forums) seems to say LDN will work best when taken between 10PM and 2AM. In forums, people are saying that the Penn St. researchers now say taking it in the AM is OK too. Are there any articles on dosing time?
thanks
