Experiencing Increased Pain on Medication

I’ve been taking 1 mg per day for almost 2 weeks and have noticed my pain is worse and more constant. I’ve reached out to my prescribing doctor but wanted to find out if this is expected? If so, how long before things turned better for you?

      I have heard that it doesn’t work for everyone with that said is it possible that something else impacted your pain? I have so many weird complicated reactions that take time for me to sort out why, but eventually I figure it out.

      LDN takes 3-6 months to start working!! I’m sure you’re in the middle of a flare up. I’ve been on LDN for two months and I’ve only noticed good changes, but I definitely still have flare days :)

      Honestly I can't remember. I don't think so, I don't think I would have gone up if that was the case.

      Hi, I found that it didn't work for me. I ended up going up to 7mg to find a difference. I did end up being off it for about a week and that's when I said oh I guess it is making a difference.

        @Coffeebean247 did you notice worsening symptoms when you first started?
