LDN dosing for fibromyalgia and ME/CFS

Sure, no problem! I use Care First Specialty Pharmacy in New Jersey (there is a pharmacy of the same name in another state; I don’t think they’re related). My PCP brought it to my attention because she uses it for most of her patients and according to her had the best prices. I was previously using a different pharmacy and found this to be true. I’m in Illinois; they ship across the country and I have at least one other doctor that’s familiar with them, so I think they are reputable. The techs and pharmacists are helpful too.

The tradeoff as compared to my local pharmacy is that it can take a bit longer for them to start processing a new prescription or refill, at least two business days in my experience, unless you call them yourself after your script gets sent. And sometimes if I have to call, I’m on hold for a while, but not an excessive amount of time. But once your prescription is established, you can just call into their automated system to request refills and they’ll send you text and/or email confirmations. And like with any specialty pharmacy, it takes some time to process it.

But they can do any formulation. If you’re okay with tablets, that’s least expensive. They can make any size (I think—I take 6 mg, which is an unusual dose) scored tablet for .5 mg and higher. I used to get 4.5 mg tablets, a more common dose, so they can probably do it in half milligram increments depending on what you need.

I hope it helps no matter where you choose!

Thank you! I've been having problems getting my prescriptions in a timely fashion from my local compounding pharmacies—I was without my LDN from Thursday through Sunday because of a delivery issue, and the previous pharmacy needed two days advance notice before they processed it. I've been looking for a mail order pharmacy, so your post is very timely!
