Is anyone prescribed with Naltrexone to relieve fibro symptoms?

[Brightside]

Naltrexone has been shown to reduce fibro symptoms at low doses of 4.5 mg per day in small-scale studies conducted by Stanford University researchers. It's a very cheap drug that's used widely to treat alcohol and opioid addiction. Because of this, the drug companies are not likely to fund large-scale testing of this drug on fibro patients. However, doctors can prescribe Naltrexone off-label to fibro patients.

To read a summary of the research data, go to ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/2...

Patients who are taking opioids should not take Naltroxone because they may experience severe cold turkey reactions.

I don't know why this went unanswered for so long. LDN is a proven drug and I have been taking it for about 6 months. I've found it very effective. My flairups are far and few between and last a day to four days. It's a flu like feeling, but the widespread pain is gone. I still don't sleep much and my skin is very sensitive

To the touch. I'm very happy with LDN .
