Hi BB,
Trouble is... how do you know the depression stemmed from the LDN? I could also be your 'normal' depression, not responding yet to the LDN. Some people say it takes about 6-12 weeks to work properly. And works best when taken at the full dose of 4.5 mg.
I've been on LDN for 1 week now (1.5 mg). Side effect is nauseousness and a slight headache. But sleep is so much better! Maybe my respons is different because I have an auto-immune disease (Sjogren's Syndrome)? Guessing here...
Best wishes,
Maria> Crazy thing. I got off LDN because after increasing from 1.5mg to 3mg I got really a lot more depressed to where I was just so much worse I was scared and could hardly make it. Instead of going back down to 1.5mg, I just paniced and washed out completely, planning to restart again at 1.5mg. When I did, the very first day was like running into an elephant dart. I don't know why the second time around was so different.

I was calm, I had at least some motivation for a change, I was thinking clearer. Once in a great while I might have some random 2 or 3 hour window that might be like that, but not an entire day. And then a next day. And a next. Wow. It is almost like the after-effects of LDN had somehow changed chemistry in a positive way that stayed.

What a fool I am sometimes. In the process, I lost all the goodness of LDN.
