Dear JB,

Are you still on Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). Just wondering about your progress...

My best,
Maria

> I am continuing to have sleeping problems after taking LDN. I am still able to fall asleep ok, but I have noticed that about 1-2 am I start waking up quite a bit and tossing and turning, feeling as if its time to wake up.
>
> Before LDN, this never happened. Your body makes its endorphins around this time of night (1-3 am), and b/c the naltrexone blocks those receptors your body is basically fooled to make more endorphins than you normally would, thus doubling the amount of endorphins you make.
>
> I don'tthink its coincidence this is also the time of night I start waking up and feel very alert.
>
> The main positive effectsI have noticed is that I do not have any brain fog anymore- at all. Negatives I have noticed are a feeling of bodily shakiness , but no mental anxiety, my mind has been quite calm. I have also noticed an immediate moderate increase in libido, which is always a nice effect.

> It feels just like it theoretically should-
> the feeling you get after you exercise way to hard and you get an endorphin rush.
>
> Overall I think this can be helpful, but I believe I am getting a bit too much endorphins with my current dose. I am going to half my dose and see how it goes.
>
> If anyone else is taking this I would love to hear their experiences.
>
> JB
