I am a big fan of LDN. My first trial with it ended in failure when I tried to increase higher from 1.5mg after 2 weeks. Knowing what I know now, my optimum dose is probably 1.5mg max, less maybe better, every other day instead of daily makes a lot of sense to try too. I also discovered that taking in the prescribed timeframe (9pm-midnight) was too late. It worked better for me if taken around 7pm-8pm. Everyone's body clocks and biochemistries are different, so some experimentation makes sense. One size rarely fits all, I think.
There are few pills, herbs, or supplements that have the potential to benefit a wide variety of ailments from A to Z, but I think LDN is one of them, if not the only one.
The common side effect of sleep disturbance I think I only had for one night. After that my sleep was greatly improved. Anxiety went to zero. Social comfort in a crowd was perfect. Very peaceful even in a heated argument. More energy. More clear-headed instead of brain fog. Better moods, that came in sporadic waves (probably a hint of improvement beginning). But 3mg definitely worsened my depression and erased all the gains I had made on 1.5mg. Scared me off.
So a retry is definitely in order.
