    Have anyone tried (LDN) for discogenic pain?. any comments on using it for addiction to opiates?
    Hi RLMIAMI,

    It's great to hear that you are pain-free! I haven't used LDN for discogenic pain. I do have a question for you: what are they dosing you at now? Are they prescribing you the low dose ~4.5mg?
