    Have posted my experiences on the other LDN thread. Basically I managed 6 weeks at 2.0 titrated up from 0.5. When I moved up to 2.5, I had severe gastric symptoms. Stopped for 2 weeks then restarted at 2.0 but within 2 hours, I had severe gastric upset, insomnia.

    Feeling frustrated because it was certainly helping cognitive function which has deteriorated again. Am trying to get it prescribed sublingually. Fingers crossed.

    Does anyone know when we might expect results from the research planned at the clinicians’ summit? Do we know how the research will take place?

    I had the same problem with stomach pain after being on LDN - but my integrative health doc prescribed a topical cream of LDN that I applied each night. Really seemed to nudge things the right direction (and no side effects) for several months, then stopped being effective. (That seems to happen with a lot of things I try). Anyway, I thought I'd mention that there are compounding pharmacies that can make LDN cream. It came in syringes, so I'd squeeze out the correct amount to rub in to my forearm.

    Thanks @Dancer.
    I hope i’ll be able to get a prescription for either the sublingual drops or cream, both of which are available at the pharmacy in Scotland.
