I wanted ask how long JimmyBoy has been on the 2x a week LDN.
I've been on some dosage or another of LDN for two weeks now. I worked up to 3mg at night and no longer have the insomnia, but I'm super irritable during the day. The irritability wears off (and good mood kicks in) right about when I'm ready to take my next dosage.
While I have some autoimmune issues (Celiac), I was mainly interested in taking LDN for its mood effects. Clearly, a crappy mood and increased irritability is not exactly what I had in mind. (Ideally, I would like to give 3mg a shot for a good month to see if it helps the autoimmune stuff, but I'm pretty busy now and I can't afford severe depression/anxiety/irritability now, even if it is a "sign" of impending immune modulation. It's worth noting, though, that some of my celiac symptoms seem to be improving....)
In any case, I would be interested in hearing more details about your experience with the intermittent LDN dosing.
