I agree the best part is waking up. Wish I could get back to regular real world hours. What time do you go to sleep? What time do you take your ldn? GW

I seem to take the ldn anywhere in the last hr b4 bed. I mean to try take either about 3 hrs b4, as I seem to get sleepy fairly fast but then more alert for a couple of hrs, its just recalling to take it then! I also am unsure of taking it near my thryoid meds.. if that stuffs it up or not:)
I go to sleep anywhere between 9PM (last night)- got up at 8.30AM today (but didn't take any ldn last night...still getting over the previous 2 days), and about 11.30PM (night b4).
I usually go about 10.30PM-11PM I guess. Sometimes though I'll go every early.
I usually drift off(but don't usually sleep) in middle of day for up to couple of hours too!
When I take 3mg, I so far have always slept in to 9AM to 10AM ish..fairly soundly in last part of morning. I'm trialling a lower dose at present. Still get headaches though. Still have a very mild headache from ldn night b4 last, and some effects still.
I really don't have any idea how ldn works.
I too have read like you, especially lately. Everything I can find on the web. I've ordered (last week b4 Elroy mentioned it) that book on the ldn "The Promise of Low Dose Naltrexone Therapy", as I have "chatted" with Elaine(http://www.elaine-moore.com/About/ElaineMooresProfile/tabid/58/Default.aspx) on forums over the years and she is credible and astute, as well as a friendly lovely person. I don't think there would be more in the book than on the web and forums, as that is where she would get the info for her book from, but perhaps it might help if I give it to a doc to read, and perhaps having it all together may help me work it out!
I doubt receptors would be totally blocked even in the high dose, and also I don't know enough to comment on whether a lower dose would be eliminated much sooner than a higher dose, not even sure if its a "known" as yet.
