Anybody know of a doctor in Dallas, TX that works with LDN? I have a friend that i grew up with who is a naturopath in Portland that suggested this a few years ago, but of course I don't live there. Plus i think she was leary since we were more acquaintances than friends to get too involved. My doc (Sklar) all but poo-pooed the idea saying that was a drug for drug addicts trying to overcome addiction, despite my trying to educate him on the difference of LOW DOSE naltrexone as opposed to normal dose. Doctors in Dallas are SHAMEFULLY not progressive. I really wish i knew of a good one here!!

We have finally reached our full dose. Best to ramp up slowly for a couple of weeks. No side effects at all. Nothing. Let's stay in touch Kevin. We will be thinking of you. I wrote to LDN org. They said there are alopecia success stories.

My dr said a compounding pharmacy would be an absolute MUST to get dosage correct. I think it is a complex process. The lab took 9 days to mix for us.

That is great and sounds very similar to our plan. There is a new book on Amazon that goes into great detail about how LDN treats autoimmune imbalance. It could take up to 12 months. Good luck!

How long have you been taking it? What dose? Liquid? It is touchy and has to done correctly
I came across another AU patient who it helped tremendously. I certainly see very positive effects with my daughter as well. In fact I don't think there is anything available BETTER than LDN.
