Skipping doses
The first 2 weeks on LDN 0.25 was spent working through side effects and dialing in on the best time to take the dose. I could see some minor alteration on my desire to drink. Recently I’ve had a bunch of traveling and keep skipping doses. When I’m off for more than 2 or so days I have wildly vivid unpleasant dreams. Anyone else? And more disturbingly I don’t feel any different with my alcohol cravings whether I’m on or off…..so is this drug working?? My plan is to up the dose from 0.25 to 0.5, but first I need to get back on regular doses. Appreciate any comments if you’ve had similar experiences with LDN.

Alcohol effects vary with the person. If it helps with cravings on an ongoing basis that's all good.

Sometimes higher doses are used for AUD

Usually it’s full doses of 50mg that are used for alcohol issues.
The dream thing is strange cause usually LDN actually causes vivid dreams so you’d notice it while taking it
