> I am a big fan of LDN. My first trial with it ended in failure when I tried to increase higher from 1.5mg after 2 weeks. Knowing what I know now, my optimum dose is probably 1.5mg max, less maybe better, every other day instead of daily makes a lot of sense to try too. I also discovered that taking in the prescribed timeframe (9pm-midnight) was too late. It worked better for me if taken around 7pm-8pm. Everyone's body clocks and biochemistries are different, so some experimentation makes sense. One size rarely fits all, I think.

Very peaceful even in a heated argument. More energy. More clear-headed instead of brain fog. Better moods, that came in sporadic waves (probably a hint of improvement beginning). But 3mg definitely worsened my depression and erased all the gains I had made on 1.5mg. Scared me off.

You are not the first person I have found that had problems when they tried to go to 3 mg. Whether it is a matter of how fast you are increasing or how often you are dosing, or the actual dose I am not clear.

I started the Very Low Dose Naltrexone list to try and collect all of these stories on one list, share experiences and see if putting our heads together might not lead to new solutions for those who encounter difficulties with the Bihari Protocol.

Some people actually prefer to take their LDN in the morning. There are two endorphin peaks every 24 hours, one around 3 AM and one around 1 PM. The idea is to reach peak plasma levels of LDN, which takes about an hour, maybe less if you are using liquid or cream, by the time the endorphin levels are peaking.

But results are what tells the real story so I am with you on playing around until you find what works for you. As I have often said in relation to LDN you can not argue with success.

Thanks for your comments.
