You're welcome. Concerning LDN and Tramadol, I just came across this at http://www.ms-uk.org/choicesldn
On starting LDN the recent use of opiate analgesics will result in an opiate withdrawal syndrome with increased pain, muscle spasm and possible vomiting and diarrhoea. It is therefore advisable that any opiate analgesics be discontinued at least two weeks before starting LDN. These include drugs such as Co-Codamol, Oxycodone, Fentanyl and Buprenorphine Patches. Tramadol CAN be used; however, they must be taken 4-6 hours apart. The use of LDN at the same time as sustained release pain killers is NOT recommended.
Me again. And this at https://sites.google.com/site/dudleyslowdosenaltrexonesites/home/drugs-to-avoid-on-ldn
Painkillers approved for use with LDN include Moxxor, Ultram® (tramadol), aspirin, Tylenol®, Advil®, Motrin®, Aleve®, Naprosyn®, Ansaid®, Dolobid®, Orudis®, Voltaren®, Feldene®, Mobic®, and the food supplement, DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA). DLPA, which is also said to enhance the effectiveness of LDN, should be taken twice a day on an empty stomach in doses of 500 mg. It should not, however, be used by people with high blood pressure, pregnant or lactating women (breast feeding), in cases of phenylketonuria (a rare medical condition), by patients taking MAOIs (monamineoxidase inhibitor drugs for mental illness), and by children under the age of 14 years.
