Side effects are minimal if any.  Some people report that they have trouble sleeping or get headaches.  They just reduce the dose until the side effects go away.  Many people claim it really helps lift their mood.  I think the research shows problematic side effects when you take 300 mg a day of ReVia– so the FDA approved it at 50 mg a day.  You can’t take it while you are taking any kind of narcotic pain killer.  Taking 4.5 mg is really low risk.  I’ll be sure and post here about my dad’s results.  He has tried a number of things which have evidently been very helpful to some people with PN but have done nothing for him – anodyne therapy and IVIg being two that didn’t help him.  It seems like a no brainer to try LDN.
