My doctor prescribed me LDN 2 months ago and I’ve been afraid to start it after reading all of the posts on this subreddit! He prescribed it for SIBO/motility/gut inflammation, and after I researched it more I was hoping it could also help my untreated ADHD, depression, and anxiety. My gut is really a mess and has been for a while so even though I try to stay away from meds I’m down to try it especially since it’s more of a “functional” medicine.. He’s starting me at 1.5mg, as that is the lowest dose the pharmacy fills. He said it was extremely safe and helpful for his most sensitive patients, and the only side effects could be vivid dreams. The pharmacist who filled it and consulted with me was really nice and she said the same thing. However after reading here on reddit it seems like this dose is too high? I have extreme medication anxiety, along with being really sensitive to foods and meds and supplements, just on top of being super anxious and paranoid, I also have a history of panic disorder. I’m not on any mental health meds as the couple I’ve tried I reacted terribly to. I live alone and am just so scared to take this LDN pill at night before bed all alone, especially after reading these stories on here.. I already filled and paid the $80 for the month’s worth… what should I do? Do I suck it up and be brave? Or should I push through without it?
