can't pull up the references, but, initially i read to take before bed, but more recently read where taking it when one awoke in the morning turned out to work ok as well.

often i fall asleep in the recliner before taking my pills. when that happens, i take it when i wake in the middle of the night, or often i don't wake til morning and take it then. sometimes i'm running late in the morning and take the pills in the car on way to work. sometimes i forget and take them later.

what i'm saying is, i don't really stick to a schedule (like i probably should) and yet LDN has been a blessing regarding no longer tearing tendons and ligaments. and my tendoinitises are much much better too. and very very few "pulled" tendons.

would it work better if i were more disciplined? it really doesn't seem to matter. when i'm more or less disciplined on when i take it, it all seems to be good.

but that's me.

DocRox - I take mine at night, between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. Suggest throwing question to the LDN forum, see what response you get.

Go well -
