Hi Tealady,
I tried LDN a while back for Sjogren's Syndrome (auto-immune disease). I can't really say if it did anything for depression or not. None the worse, nor the better.
For Sjogren's: it worsent the dry mouth, but improved dry eye...
The dose I used was 1.5 mg sublingually. Within a few days I started to become jittery, could feel the sweat running down my back, then heart palpitations, etc. Had my blood checked and turned out that LDN made my T3 thyroid level jump way above the norm. I cut back on thyroid meds but could not get the hyper symptoms under control. So I quit after 4 weeks.
It was an interesting experiment though!
I might try again later, at an even lower dose and with less thyroid meds.
Love,
