I started back on VLDN last week. I took .25 mg every other day for 4 days, then skipped an extra day before taking only .125 mg (appx.) last night.
The extra day I skipped I felt better than I have in months. But it was sunny for the first time in weeks too....
I seem to feel worse the morning after I use LDN and a bit better the second day as a rule. I decided to try it at the even lower dose every other day and see if that helps. I didn't feel too bad this morning, so maybe the extremely low dose is more appropriate for me.
I have some vivid dreaming and difficulty sleeping if I stay up too long after taking it, but I can't say that it has really disrupted my sleep much. But I also take 50-100 mg of Trazodone every night. My problem is really more with feeling more anxiety symptoms than depression. And the anxiety aggrivates depression for me.
I definitely feel that the LDN is causing an increase in endorphin production, but I'm at a loss as to why this doesn't feel good to me. I never liked the way hydrocodone made me feel either. I didn't feel the wonderful euphoria I read about, it was a hard, icky feeling.
When I'm taking LDN it's hard for me to sleep in, I wake up and feel better if I get up and move. If I don't get up I just feel more and more agitated.
It's so interesting how differently people react to it.
