My rheumatologist prescribed it for me. I had bad bursitis I my leg and hip. I took it for a long time until I realized I wasn’t in pain any longer. My prescription was for a compound script and had to go to a special Walgreens to get it. It did help You have to make sure you don’t take any opioids.

I continued to take my 5 mg oxycodone 5-6 times a day when I started, and I’ve never felt anything like it, I felt like a true addict having severe withdrawal symptoms, my muscles were moving all over the place, I couldn’t sleep I was yawning so much it was painful, I got scared and stopped the LDN, my doc and pharmacist told me I could take them together….. never again, I want to restart but I’m scared to stop my opiates cause my pain is so bad even the pills I take only cut a wee bit of it it gives me some life, my life has slowed almost to a stop since getting sick 8 years ago !!

I DO NOT TAKE ANY KIND OF PAIN MEDS. My neurologist said she would prescribe the LDN for me and would send it to Belmar pharm to compound it in Colo.
What dose did you start with???
