My doc told me when I started taking it, it could take up to 6 months to get results. It was just about 6 months for me, so don’t give up yet. I take 3 mg every night before half hour before bed. He did say I could try 4.5 mg if not seeing results. But I am so staying with 3 mg. I plan to take it indefinitely as it is helping, and there are no side effects. And as drugs go, it’s reasonably priced.

I also shave horrible dry eyes and started using OTC moisturizing drops without preservative. Before bed and upon waking and it helps tremendously. Drops are called Ivizia.

Thanks for the info! I will continue. I titrated slowly up to 5mg on LDN. I see my doctor in a couple weeks, and we’ll discuss, but I want to give it plenty of time to make sure I’m not giving up too soon. I have had no side effects either, which is unusual for me.

I have been using Systaine eye drops at night, and Soothe during the day. I will look for Ivizia and see if I like better. My eyes are very cloudy with severe light sensitivity, and vision getting worse, and worse. I’m now wearing prism eyeglasses but they don’t seem to be helping.

I’m glad you have found something to ease your symptoms. Fingers crossed it may help me too.
