Over a year ago I started LDN. I felt so lucky my doctor could prescribe it.
Taking ldn was definitely helping to manage pain. But then I started getting uncontrollably movements when I talked. A strange sensation. It was worse when I was nervous. My Dr thought it may be oromandibular dystonua and suggested I might go to a neurologist. I did not.
I stopped the LDN and the pain came back.
I had the same kind of reaction when I tried PALMITOYLETHANOLAMIDE and had to stop. I do take Wellbutrin and am wondering if my sensitivity to the 2 medications had something to do with also raking Wellbutrin. There seems to be some kind of Dopamine component to it all. I know Palmitoylethanolamide works for people who have Parkinson's disease. Any one who can shed light on this please chime in. I did not go to a neurologist.

@jaj7 Did your doctor ever mention the possibility of your uncontrollable movements being
due to tardive dyskinesia caused by the Wellbutrin, which is a documented side effect?
I’m happy to hear the LDN worked for your pain and hope you can go back on it someday.
Best of luck!
