Perhaps we feel better, when looking at grass, because our bodies are coded to dull pain from it.

Green Lantern was always my favorite superhero

low dose naltrexone..which does help my pain..supposedly inhibits the opioid receptors. I still might try green light to see what happens even though it does the opposite.

Green stuff is food for many critters.

Comforting!

Feel serene with green!

I’m taking hydrocodone for a T-4 complete spinal cord injury.

It helps but even after 42 years the injury site is hypersensitive.

I will have to look for green light bulbs next time I’m at Lowe’s. Any help in reducing the pain level would be appreciated.

When I’m driving in the city, green lights make me happier than red lights.

Just not soylent green please!

So now the DEA will schedule green light, because it makes you feel good, and we can’t have that!

I take LDN also, but not for pain. Along with bupropion for idiopathic fatigue relief. A little too early to tell if it’s working, but I think it is. Expected to first reduce (for a couple hours), then increase natural endorphins. Do you take 4.5 mg dose also?

Thanks. I saw this on AmazonSmiles (it’s Amazon, but each purchase includes a small donation to the charity of my choice) ( www.kpva.org ).

i take pieces of a 50 mg trying to get them under 5 mg. fatigue is part of my problem so yeah it helps with that.

But I dont take them every day for fear of liver issues. I may try every day once I have my liver tested to make sure not causing a problem. Its really the 50 mg that has known liver damage.

I saw this one up-thread, for $200, and thought there’s got to be a cheaper on.

I get my LDN from a U.S. dispensary online.

Actually distributed as 1.5 mg so 3/day.

Some people take only the 1.5 or 3.0 / day.

Cost about $1 / day for the 4.5 mg

I would be surprised at any anti-fatigue effect unless combined with bupropion.

When combined, should have some appetite-suppressing effect as well.

The one I posted is $69.99

[RummyChick]

my 15 50 mg of pills was less than $7.

It is prescribed for weight loss along with another drug. Maybe the one you mentioned. I do think it helps with weigh loss.

Fatigue is part of fibromyalgia and that is what a lot of people use it for.

[steve86]

Even 1 or 2 mg seems to make a difference in side effects to some people so I wouldn’t personally try to split 50s. I do split lots of other tablets, tho.
